Abstract
We propose a method to increase the utilization rate of birefringence in liquid crystal (LC) lenses. The method involves designing electrode patterns based on the phase response curve of the LC material, enabling the lenses to operate across a wide range of driving voltages while generating the desired phase profile. The underlying principle of this technique is discussed in detail. Electrode patterns have been successfully designed for positive and negative cylindrical LC lenses. The experimental results demonstrate that the designed lenses generate a parabolic phase profile even when the driving voltage exceeds the linear response region. The utilization rate of LC birefringence for the positive lens has increased from 41.3% to 69.7%, indicating a 68.8% increase from the original. For the negative lens, the utilization rate has risen from 41.8% to 68.7%, representing a 64.4% increase from the original.
