Liquid-crystal lens with a focal length that is variable in a wide range

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A liquid-crystal (LC) lens driven by two voltages is reported. The lens has a focal length that is electrically tunable. The range of the variable focusing power is very wide, covering approximately 0.8–10.7 D. In the entire focal range the LC lens maintains high optical quality. The LC lens can be driven in a simple way to prevent the occurrence of a disclination line. The use of the LC lens in image formation is demonstrated.
