“…Various approaches for fabricating LC microlens array have been proposed. The common is to create a gradient refractive index distribution among LC directors either by an inhomogeneous electric field [9,10,[15][16][17]20,22,23,54] or by an inhomogeneous LC morphology [11][12][13][14]18,19,21,55,56].…”

“…In 2005, Ren et al demonstrated a fast-response microlens array using nanosized PDLC droplets [54], as Figure 2 shows. UV-curable monomer NOA65 is first molded to form plano-concave microlens arrays on the bottom ITO substrate.…”

“…For example, electrically driven H-PDLCs demand a high electric field (10−20 V/ µm) due to the high surface area to volume ratio of small LC droplets. [20][21][22] This becomes problematic because the wholly organic nature of H-PDLC devices makes them vulnerable to high electric fields, thereby forestalling practical application. In addition, optically driven devices show a propensity for poor optical contrast.…”
