An optical component for changing angular magnification of an imaging device.
The optical component comprises a chamber having a first substrate on one side
and a second substrate on the opposite side for separately disposing a first liquid
drop and a second liquid drop along an optical axis. The chamber is also filled
with a liquid, which is different from the first and second liquid drops. The optical
component also has a first electrode adjacent to the first side, a second electrode
adjacent to the second side, and a third electrode layer between the first and
second electrode layers for applying different electric fields on the first and
second liquid drops to change the focal lengths of the first and second liquid
drops, without changing the sum of the focal lengths.
