Abstract
An optical lens assembly with an electrically controlled, tunable optical lens with an attached aperture stop provides autofocus or similar functionalities in a camera with a wide field of view (FOV) (that is larger than 100 degrees in diagonal direction). The tunable optical lens is positioned between a first optical lens and a second optical lens in the optical lens assembly with the assembly including any number of negative or positive optical power lenses and/or other optical elements such as polarizers, quarter wave plates, optical filters, and similar ones. An optical profile of the tunable optical lens is modified through a voltage-controlled thin film piezo actuator based on a determined focus distance.
