With the maturation of the information display field, liquid-crystal materials research is
undergoing a modern-day renaissance. Devices and configurations based on liquid-crystal …

Tunable liquid lenses with controllable focal length attract much attention from many
researchers due to the unique advantages of strong adjustability, low power consumption …

Compact varifocal lenses are essential to various imaging and vision technologies.
However, existing varifocal elements typically rely on mechanically actuated systems with …

Precision manipulation of various liquids is essential in many fields. Unlike solid objects,
fluids are intrinsically divisible, enriching their fundamental operations with merging …

This review presents a systematic perspective on the development of micro-optofluidic
lenses. The progress on the development of micro-optofluidic lenses are illustrated by …

Dielectrophoresis is the electro‐mechanical phenomenon where a force is generated on a
dielectric material when exposed to a non‐uniform electric field. It has potential to be …

Biomimetics is the development of novel theories and technologies by emulating the models
and systems of nature. The transfer of function from biological science into engineering …

A packaged liquid lens driven by the dielectric force was demonstrated. The liquid lens
consisted of a low dielectric constant droplet and a high dielectric constant sealing liquid …

The wetting of solid surfaces can be modified by altering the surface free energy balance
between the solid, liquid, and vapor phases. Here we show that liquid dielectrophoresis …

We demonstrate a flexible, electrowetting-driven, variable-focus liquid microlens. The
microlens is fabricated using a soft polymer polydimethylsiloxane. The lens can be smoothly …
