Applications

Our technology perfectly fits to all type of applications where compactness, low cost, energy consumption, and ruggedness are important or critical.

Camera phones, photo and video cameras

Our electrically controlled lenses are also called “liquid lenses” because of their core technology.
Liquid lenses are fully adapted to the next generation of mobile devices which integrate imaging features : phones, PDA’s, digital camera and video…
For these devices, our technology brings potent advantages :

Extremely small scale (external diameter 8mm, thickness 2 mm)
Easy setup
Fast response (less than 2/100e s)
Low electrical consumption

Medical Equipment

The huge potential of Varioptic in terms of miniaturisation offers many opportunities in the field of imaging.
For instance, our smart lenses perfectly suit to endoscopy, imaging by confocal microscopy, laser beam focus, control on tumours…
Ophthalmology can also take benefit of our emerging concept of adaptive liquid optics.

Biometry and identification

With its response time of 2/100 s, the variation rate of the liquid lens is a major asset for character reading, 1D or 2D bar codes, or other biometrical identification elements such as iris and fingerprint recognition.

Automotive

The autofocus capabilities of our lenses offers new economical solutions for telemetry applications or surveillance systems.

Varioptic: a new focus for optics

Autofocus lenses

Based on its patented electrowetting technology, Varioptic introduces the first commercially available electrically controllable optical lenses.

Zooms

The combination of various Varioptic tunable lenses enables the development of Zooms with no moving parts.

Technology Assessment Program (TAP):

A sound way to discover Varioptic technology and start designing with it.

Custom products

Based on volume and specification, custom products can be proposed and developed.
