Abstract:A liquid crystal (LC) lens array with a half‐wave plate (HWP) to enable the function of switchable lens array between 1 dimensional (1D) and 2 dimensional (2D) arrays is proposed in this paper. The LC cell contains two LC layers which can be driven independently. Through controlling these two LC layers, three different modes of the LC cell such as a lensless system, rotatable 1D lens array and 2D lens array can be switched freely. These three different modes are used for coexistence of 2D and 3D displays, a na… Show more
