The LensVector lens is a liquid crystal, controllable lens that allows the beam from a luminaire to be dynamically shaped. It’s no longer necessary to change bulbs or reflectors to set a new scene or create drama and emotion.
Patqer Photonique Inc acquired the Dynamic Beam Shaping technology developed and commercialized worldwide by LensVector, along with its full patent portfolio in the lighting industry.

How it Works
Liquid crystal materials are widely used in projectors and LC Displays (LCDs). Despite their confusing names, liquid crystals are not crystals floating in a liquid, they are elongated molecules that are naturally aligned in the same direction. The LensVector lens is composed of two glass substrates separated by spacers and sealed to contain the liquid crystal material, essentially forming a liquid crystal sandwich. When an electric field is applied to the lens, the liquid crystal molecules change orientation and cause light passing through the lens to be refocused. By managing the electrical field and the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules, it is possible to shape the beam of light.
