Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a sectional view of an embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes a member constituting a liquid lens composed of lens members 1a and 1b made of a synthetic resin having a desired shape. Reference numeral 2 denotes an inner cylinder 3 holding the lens and an inner cylinder. An outer cylinder 4, which is coaxial with the outer cylinder 3 and is provided with a certain space outside thereof, is welded at, for example, ends 5 and 6, and is a lens barrel integrally formed in a sealed structure. A transparent liquid is sealed in a space 7 formed by the lens members 1a and 1b and a space 8 between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder of the lens barrel, and the space 7 and the space 8 communicate with each other through a hole 9. I have.

In the lens of this embodiment, the member formed by the members 1a and 1b forming the lens constitutes the liquid lens 1. The lens barrel 2 is composed of an outer cylinder 4 and an inner cylinder 3. The lens barrel 2 is included by holding the liquid lens 1 and also by introducing a transparent liquid into a space 8 between the two cylinders 3 and 4. Since the heat capacity of the entire lens is relatively large, deformation is small even when heated.

In FIG. 1, lenses 12 and 13 are made of synthetic resin or glass. Since the lenses 12 and 13 are also held by the inner cylinder and liquid is present between the held portions and the outer cylinder, the liquid serves to cool the inside of the lens barrel, and the temperature of the lenses 12 and 13 is reduced. The rise can also be prevented.
Therefore, even if the lenses 12 and 13 are made of synthetic resin, deformation due to heat can be prevented.

The lens of the present invention has a liquid lens as one of the lens elements and has a lens barrel including the lens barrel portion by holding the lens in a double structure having a lens barrel holding the liquid lens. Since the entire structure has a heating prevention structure, it is effective to use a lens that is easily affected by heating, such as a projection lens. When a plastic lens that is easily affected by heat is used, the lens barrel has a cooling structure, which also helps to prevent deformation.
