[PRJ7/LCT8-1] LC Lens Fabricated by Photoalignment for AR/VR Systems

*Wei-Wei Chen1, Jui-Wen Pan1, Shie-Chang Jeng1 (1. National Chiao Tung University (Taiwan))

Keywords:Liquid crystal lens, Polarization-free, Augmented reality, Photoalignment

A concept for an electrically tunable liquid crystal (LC) lens using a hole-patterned electrode and the vertical alignment liquid crystal cell by circular photoalignment is demonstrated. The proposed LC lens is a polarizer-free negative lens(0D~-0.93D) by changing the driving voltage. The proposed LC lens can be applied for AR/VR applications.
