Abstract

The invention relates to a controllable optical assembly such as a controllable lens or a controllable beam deflector. The optical assembly comprises first and second cover members, wherein one of them is transparent while the other is transparent or reflective. A transparent, deformable, non-fluid body is sandwiched between the first and second cover members so that the first and second cover members and non-fluid body constitute a lens or a light deflector. Actuators are arranged to generate a controllable bending and/or tilt of the first and/or the second cover member dependent on a control signal. One or more sensors are provided to generate a measurement signal indicative of the bending or tilt of the first and/or the second cover member. The control signal is determined based on the measurement signal.
