Abstract:
An electrowetting optical device is provided. The electrowetting optical device includes a conductive liquid and a non-conductive liquid. The non-conductive fluid includes a naphthalene based compound having Formula (I), Formula (II), and/or Formula (III): where R 1 , R 2 , and R 3  are individually alkyl, aryl, alkoxy, or aryloxy groups; X includes carbon, silicon, germanium, tin, lead, and combinations thereof; and Z includes oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, polonium, and combinations thereof. The conductive liquid may additionally include a transmission recovery agent having Formula (IV) and/or Formula (V): where R 4  is an alkyl, fluoroalkyl, aryl, alkoxy, or aryloxy group. The electrowetting optical device additionally includes a dielectric surface in contact with both the conductive and non-conductive liquids where the conductive and non-conductive liquids are non-miscible.

Claim (Index 1):
A liquid lens device, comprising:\n (1) a body comprising a chamber defined therein and a layer of insulating material; (2) a non-conductive liquid located within the chamber, the non-conductive liquid having a conductivity less than about 1\u00d710 \u22128  S/m; (3) a conductive liquid adjoining the non-conductive liquid within the chamber, the conductive liquid having a conductivity in a range of about 1\u00d710 \u22123  to 1\u00d710 2  S/m; (4) an interface between the non-conductive liquid and the conductive liquid; (5) a common electrode in electrical communication with the conductive liquid; and (6) a driving electrode positioned along the layer of insulating material, wherein the non-conductive liquid, the conductive liquid and the interface are in contact with the layer of insulating material, and the layer of insulating material is located between the driving electrode and the chamber such that the driving electrode is electrically insulated from the non-conductive liquid and from the conductive liquid via the layer of insulating material; wherein the interface has a shape that is influenced by a voltage differential between the driving electrode and the common electrode; wherein the conductive and non-conductive liquids are non-miscible such that their partial miscibility is less 2% over a temperature range of  \u2212 30 to 85\u00b0 C.; wherein a difference between a refractive index of the conductive liquid and a refractive index of the non-conductive liquid is in a range of about 0.02 to about 0.24; and wherein a difference between a density of the conductive liquid and a density of the non-conductive liquid is less than 0.1 g/cm 3 .
