Abstract

See full text

An optical lens system is disclosed which comprises a body of a nematic liquid crystal material placed in a variable electric or magnetic field. In response to variation of the field strength from zero to an upper limit, the focal length of the lens system changes continuously from a first focal length to a second focal length. The new lens system may be used, e.g., in cameras, telescopes, binoculars, projectors, and eyeglasses.
