Problems solved by technology

Compared with the first type of liquid crystal lens in the early stage, the advantage of this type of lens is that the response time is consistent during the focusing process, and there is no light scattering phenomenon. The gap, the thickness of the liquid crystal lens is generally larger, which increases the driving voltage and increases the response speed

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a liquid crystal microlens array, in particular to the technical field of a cascade type liquid crystal microlens array. Background technique [0002] Liquid crystal microlens technology, whose focal length can be controlled by voltage. The traditional solid lens needs to control the change of focal length by adjusting the distance between the lenses through different lens combinations. In comparison, the biggest advantage of liquid crystal microlenses is that they are small in size, eliminating the need for cumbersome mechanical devices, and can obtain adjustable focal length characteristics, also known as adaptive lenses. Therefore, it has great potential application value in the fields of optical interconnection, adaptive optics, optoelectronic storage, integrated optical display and so on. [0003] Common liquid crystal adaptive lenses, in general, have three methods to generate gradient-type refractive index profiles sim...
