  • Solution Flow Prevention in Fluid Focus Lenses
    Publication number: 20080316587
    Abstract: In a fluid focus lens (ffl) a structured hydrophobic layer (415) is applied on a hydrophilic glass substrate (406). The hydrophobic layer (415) and hydrophilic glass substrate (406) cause a water droplet placed on the hydrophilic glass substrate (406) to remain in a defined position (or area). The hydrophobic layer prevents leakage when a core (408) of the ffl is not attached to the substrate (406). The hydrophobic layer (415) also functions as a barrier to keep the water in a droplet shape, which simplifies the assembly of the ffl product.
