Abstract:
An example electronic apparatus for switching microlenses includes a microlens including a plurality of microstructures to bend light. The electronic apparatus also includes a chamber coupled to the microlens to receive a liquid with an optical index that matches an optical index of the microlens. The electronic apparatus further includes an electronic device coupled to the chamber to manipulate the liquid to achieve a target optical state of the microlens.
