    Summary

    A novel compound liquid crystal (LC) microlens array uses two sub-arrays for light control. This structure enhances focal length and improves target visibility in intense light conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Materials Science
    • Electrical Engineering

    Background:

    • Liquid crystal (LC) microlenses are widely used optical components.
    • Existing LC microlens arrays have limitations in focal length control and performance under bright light.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose and investigate a new compound structure for liquid crystal (LC) microlens arrays.
    • To achieve enhanced control over light divergence and convergence using a dual-layer LC microlens design.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a compound LC microlens array comprising two sub-arrays: one for positive (converging) and one for negative (diverging) lensing.
    • Utilizing patterned and plane electrodes for independent electrical control of each sub-array.
    • Experimental characterization of the compound LC microlens array's optical properties.

    Main Results:

    • The compound LC microlens array demonstrated independent control over light divergence and convergence.
    • Applying voltage to both sub-arrays resulted in a significantly larger focal length compared to single-layer LC microlenses.
    • The proposed structure effectively enhances target contour visibility under intense light conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel compound LC microlens array offers superior performance characteristics, including adjustable focal length and improved visibility.
    • This design presents a promising advancement for applications requiring sophisticated light manipulation, particularly in challenging lighting environments.
