Abstract
Liquid crystal lens with a novel electrode structure of double circularly hole-patterned electrodes is developed for improving a lens power and effective diameter with the optimum lens property. The variable lens power of the liquid crystal lens with double circularly hole-patterned electrodes is about two times as large as that of the previous liquid crystal lens with a single circularly hole-patterned electrode and the liquid crystal lens preserves its optical quality entire variable range.
