摘要：
A polarisation-independent blue-phase liquid crystal lens array using gradient electrodes is proposed. A high dielectric constant layer helps to smoothen out the horizontal electric field and reduce the operating voltage. With gradient electrodes and a planar top electrode, gradient electric fields are generated and lens-like phase profile is obtained. When the applied voltage is changed, the focal length of the lens can be tuned from to 5.94mm. Besides, the simulation results show that the lens is insensitive to polarisation while keeping parabolic-like profile. [GRAPHICS] .
