P‐170: Late‐News Poster: Programmable and Pixelated Liquid Crystal Lens

Abstract

We demonstrated a programmable and pixelated liquid crystal (LC) lens which can pixelated control optical power between negative lens and positive lens. The LC lens is composed of high aperture ratio thin film transistor (TFT) polarization rotator and wavelength insensitive geometric phase (GP) liquid crystal polymer (LCP) lens. It owns the properties of fast switching(<10ms), thin thickness(<1mm), large aperture size (40mm), and pixelated control. This approach opens new applications including VR/MR systems and ophthalmic lenses.
