Transient properties during positive-negative switching of liquid crystal lens
The properties of a liquid crystal lens with two thin liquid crystal layers are studied. By using two-voltage driving approach, the focus range is expanded by driving the liquid crystal cell working as not only a positive lens but also a negative lens. The evolution of the lens power during the switching between the positive and negative lenses is observed. The switching becomes fast when thin liquid crystal layers are used.
