New Cameraphone Lens Under Development

Canadian researchers have developed a new lens for cameraphones that would take clearer pictures while taking up less space, reports The Canadian Press via Phone Scoop.

"The new lens, which is much thinner than a piece of paper, is not made of glass or plastic like current lenses, but of a thin sheet of LCD crystals coated with a light sensitive compound.

Tiny shocks of electricity can change the shape of the lens to adjust focus or zoom. The researchers are currently seeking partners to prototype and manufacture the lens".
