Abstract:
An autofocus lens system includes no conventional moving parts and has excellent speed and low power consumption. The system includes a small electronically-controlled focusing-module lens. The focusing-module lens includes two adjustable polymeric surfaces (e.g., two adjustable-surface lenses in a back-to-back configuration). The curvature of the surfaces can be adjusted to change focus. The performance of the autofocus lens system is extended by adding a conventional first and second lens, or lens group, on either side of the focusing-module lens. What results is an autofocus lens system with excellent near field and far field performance.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of manufacturing an adjustable-surface lens of an autofocus lens system, the method comprising:\n providing a first transparent deformable membrane having a ring-shaped piezoelectric film contiguously positioned on the first transparent deformable membrane's outer surface; providing a second transparent deformable membrane having a ring-shaped piezoelectric film contiguously positioned on the second transparent deformable membrane's outer surface; and contiguously positioning a flexible polymer between the first transparent deformable membrane and the second transparent deformable membrane, wherein the flexible polymer is attached to the respective inner surfaces of the first transparent deformable membrane and the second transparent deformable membrane.
