[0051] Structure and Operation of Coupling Optics

[0052] In commonly assigned International Patent Application PCT / IB2009 / 052658, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference, there is disclosed a tunable liquid crystal lens (TLCL) consisting of ring electrodes placed close together on a uniform electrode to produce a desired shape of the electric field. According to the proposed solution, in figure 2 The structure shown in cross-section in , proposes a similar arrangement using a weakly conductive layer (WCL layer) 24 disposed on the outer surface of the layered structure, adjacent to (preferably, in contact with and on top of) the ring electrode 26 . This specific positional setting enables the WCL layer of the lens structure and the WCL layer of the second liquid crystal cell to be coupled together in such a way that the WCL layer of the first cell acts synchronously with the WCL layer of the second cell. Thus, two cells together form a polarization-ind...

Abstract

A liquid crystal optical device is provided. The optical device includes a liquid crystal cell controlling optical properties of light passing therethrough and has a liquid crystal layer, a planar electrode located to one side of said liquid crystal layer, an electric field control structure located to the opposite side of the liquid crystal layer, and a wavefront adjustment structure configured to provide optical phase front adjustment. In some embodiments the wavefront adjustment structure is a conductive floating electrode. In other embodiments the wavefront adjustment structure is a weakly conductive structure having spatially variable sheet resistance. In other embodiments, the wavefront adjustment structure a weakly conductive structure having spatially variable sheet resistance having a frequency dependent characteristic.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] The priority document of this application is US provisional application US61 / 424,115, the title of which is "multi-unit liquid crystal optical device for electric field control", and the filing date is December 17, 2010. This application cites the entirety of the priority document. technical field [0003] The invention relates to a liquid crystal optical device, and a control electrode thereof. Background technique [0004] Liquid crystal (LC) lenses and other liquid crystal optical devices are known in the art. A planar structure of liquid crystals is placed in the cell between glass or plastic plates. An electrically variable gradient-index (referred to as GRIN) lens can create a liquid crystal layer with a spatially varying refractive index within the aperture of the device by controlling the relative orientation of the liquid crystal molecules. In this way, a good optical zoom capability can be achieved within a relatively small thi...
