We describe a plastic, flexible tunable liquid crystal lens based on Fresnel optics that allows variable focus of the virtual image. The lens has been made with ultra-thin, light bioplastic films instead of glass, uniquely enabling attractive product form factors and increasing comfort by saving weight and thickness.
