The invention provides a liquid crystal lens, a manufacturing method of the liquid crystal lens, and a display device, and belongs to the technical field of display. The liquid crystal lens comprises a first substrate, a second substrate, a liquid crystal layer, a first transparent electrode layer, a first liquid crystal alignment layer, a second transparent electrode layer and a second liquid crystal alignment layer, wherein the liquid crystal layer is located between the first substrate and the second substrate, the first transparent electrode layer and the first liquid crystal alignment layer are located on the first substrate and are close to one side of the liquid crystal layer, and the second transparent electrode layer and the second liquid crystal alignment layer are located at the portion, close to one side of the liquid crystal layer, of the second substrate. The liquid crystal lens further comprises a flat layer arranged between the first transparent electrode layer and the first liquid crystal alignment layer. According to the liquid crystal lens, the flat layer is formed between the first transparent electrode layer and the first liquid crystal alignment layer, and the first liquid crystal alignment layer moves the position with the weaker lateral electric field, so that liquid crystal dislocation is reduced, and the refraction effect of the liquid crystal lens is improved.
