摘要
Studies on the liquid crystal lens with curved electrode are reported. The lens power is dependent on the applied voltage, and the lens size is nearly that of the curved electrode and therefore can be changed arbitrarily. The influences of material property and lens geometry on the properties of the LC lens are studied numerically. The properties of the lens of different geometries are investigated experimentally.
