Liquid crystal camera aperture

An information handling system comprising:

• a housing;
• a processor coupled in the housing and operable to execute instructions to process information;
• a memory coupled in the housing and operable to store the instructions and information;
• a wireless network interface controller operable to communicate the information through a network;
• a persistent storage operable to store the instructions and information;
• a camera interfaced with the processor and operable to capture visual images for communication through the network, the camera having an image signal processor, an image sensor and a lens, the lens aligned to direct light at the image sensor, the image signal processor capture a visual image from the light detected by the image sensor;
• an aperture interfaced with the image signal processor and aligned with the lens, the aperture having a liquid crystal layer with plural areas, each of the plural areas associated with an F-number of the lens;
• and
• a non-transient memory storing instructions that when executed on the image signal processor selectively apply an electric field to each of the plural areas to have a predetermined F-number.
