Abstract
Electrically controlled lens properties (liquid crystal microlens) can be obtained by utilizing molecular orientation effects in an axially symmetric nonuniform electric field. Excellent lens properties can be obtained using a symmetric electrode structure with hole-patterned electrodes on both substrates. Several kinds of optical properties have been investigated and characteristic phenomena of the liquid crystal microlens are discussed in terms of a molecular orientation model.Keywords
