Demand for variable focus lens is increasing these days due to the rapid development of smart mobile devices and drones. However, conventional mechanical systems for lenses are generally complex, cumbersome, and rigid (e.g., for motors and gears). This research proposes a simple and compact liquid lens controlled by an electro hydro dynamics (EHD) pump. In our study, we propose a do-it-yourself (DIY) method to fabricate the low-cost EHD lens. The EHD lens consists of a polypropylene (PP) sheet for the exterior, a copper sheet for the electrodes, and an acrylic
elastomer for the fluidic channel where dielectric fluid and pure water are filled. We controlled the
lens magnification by changing the curvature of the liquid interface between the dielectric fluid and
pure water. We evaluated the magnification performance of the lens. Moreover, we also established a
numerical model to characterize the lens performance. We expect to contribute to the miniaturization
of focus-tunable lenses
