A lens module includes a lens barrel, at least one fixed focus lens fixed
in the lens barrel, and at least two variable focus lenses fixed in the
lens barrel. Each variable focus lens includes two electrodes and an
electro-optical material between the electrodes. Each electrode is
electrically connected to a voltage supply so as to be able to
selectively apply a voltage to the electro-optical material and to thus
selectively control the refractive index of that material. By changing
the refractive index, a concordant change in the focus of a given
variable focus lens is possible, without modifying the position and/or
shape thereof.
