ABSTRACT:
A variable-shape mirror comprises a flexible film having a plurality of electrodes and a reflective surface whose shape varies when electrostatic forces are applied to the electrodes. The electrodes are divided in a circumferential direction and in a radial direction of the flexible film. The flexible film having a greater number of circumferential-directional divisions in a peripheral portion thereof then in a central portion thereof.
