We propose an electrically controllable fast-switching virtual-moving microlens array (MLA). By controlling the polarization of incident lights without physical movement of the MLA, the periodic sampling position of the MLA can be switched fast with a polarization-switching layer. Using the virtual-moving MLA, spatial-resolution-enhanced light-field imaging system was demonstrated.
