Lens Application of Liquid Crystalline Polymer with Controlling Liquid Crystal Layer

Abstract

In this study, we report an electrically controllable lens application of a liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) by using the stacked layer system of liquid crystal (LC), LCP and UV curable polymer. Controlling the polarization state of the incident light through use of an applied voltage, we can tune the focusing intensity of lens easily. Moreover, this lens can be integrated as the arrayed structure of micro size without the complicated fabrication process. We will demonstrate the optical characteristics of LCP and the dynamic performances of our microlens array in this presentation.
