Lensvector

The LensVector lens is a controllable liquid crystal lens that dynamically shapes a luminaire’s beam. Patqer Photonique Inc acquired the Dynamic Beam Shaping technology developed and commercialized by LensVector.

Howard Earhart began his career at Eastman Kodak, served as president of Memorex’s Consumer Products Group, and was turnaround CEO of 15 high-tech companies in the last 25 years. As chairman and CEO of Power Integrations, he led a turnaround in 1994.

Brent York has more than three decades of experience in the lighting industry. As CTO of TIR Systems Ltd., he led a strategic research team that developed over 100 inventions, including LEXEL, which were central to TIR’s 2007 acquisition.

LensVector’s technology uses a liquid crystal cell to shape and steer light electronically, without mechanical systems. It brings solid-state performance, size, and manufacturability to dynamic light shaping.

LensVector was founded to commercialize liquid crystal-based optics that enable adaptive optical capabilities without mechanical systems or redundant light sources. The original technology was developed at Université Laval’s Center for Optics, Photonics.

The page lists 111 global patents filed: 62 granted, 33 published and pending, and 29 unpublished and pending.

LensVector’s technology enables dynamic light shaping controlled from a mobile device. Its initial products, developed with lighting manufacturers, allow beam shape to be adjusted from spot to flood.
