ABSTRACT:
In a light waveguide lens comprises a light waveguide and a lens portion provided in a portion of the light waveguide, the refractive index of the light waveguide and/or the lens portion is variable to vary the focal length of the lens portion, thereby causing the waveguide light to be accurately converged at a predetermined position.
