Liquid crystal cells
Liquid crystal cells is known in the art.Many unit structures of liquid crystal cells also are known with operating in this area.
Fig. 3 illustrates the illustrated embodiment that electricity activates liquid crystal cells, and wherein liquid crystal layer is sandwiched between two glass plates with electrically conductive inner surface.The surface applied of these two plates has the alignment such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) (PVA) or nylon 6,6, and these surfaces handle by rubbing, to provide uniform molecular orientation.As known in the art, along the direction shown in the arrow alignment is polished.Electrically conductive inner surface to plate applies voltage.Activate in the unit at the electricity that utilizes liquid crystal as electro-optical medium, each zone all has identical thickness, still, when when this medium applies voltage, changes owing to redirecting of liquid crystal molecule makes the refractive index of unusual light beam.As shown in Figure 3, the polishing direction has been determined the initial orientation of liquid crystal molecule.The major axis of liquid crystal molecule (optical axis) is vertically aimed at.When applying suitable voltage, the molecule rotation.Effective refractive index (n θ') provide by following formula
n e ′ ( θ ) = n o n e ( n e 2 sin 2 θ + n o 2 cos 2 θ ) - - - ( 5 )
N wherein oAnd n eBe respectively the refractive index of ordinary light beam and unusual light beam, θ is the optical axis of molecule and the angle between the Z-axis.Unusual light beam has largest refractive index n at first θAlong with the increase of the voltage that is applied, effective refractive index n θ' become littler, and when applying saturation voltage, the optical axis of molecule is flatly aimed at, and effective refractive index n θ' reach minimum, and equal n oThe refractive index of (horizontal polarization) ordinary light beam is always identical.Therefore, electrooptical effect is modulated the effective refractive index of unusual light beam.
In the liquid crystal cells described herein, the conductive material on substrate does not form uniform layer, but forms electrode pattern, and is such as described further on this.
Fig. 4 illustrates the general structure that the electricity with patterned electrode activates liquid crystal lens.From top to bottom, these layers comprise:
410 substrates,
420 patterned electrodes (separately controllable electrode),
430 alignment,
440 liquid crystal and 450 spacers (or a plurality of spacer),
430 alignment,
460 ground connection, and
410 substrates.
Especially, Fig. 4 is illustrated in the general structure that this used electricity activates liquid crystal lens.Liquid crystal layer 430 is clipped between patterned electrode 420 and the ground-electrode 460.Patterned electrode 430 can be made by the photoetching treatment that is deposited on the conducting film on the glass substrate, and as known in the art, and ground-electrode 460 comprises the uniform conductive layer that forms according to any way known in the field.These patterned electrodes comprise the circular array of many rings, and the radius of these rings is determined by desirable focal length, and is as the described herein such.But the electrooptical effect of liquid crystal 440 causes the birefringence of electricity control.Change the phase outline of crossing over lens by apply suitable voltage to patterned electrode, as this further described.
Conductive material can be any suitable material, and these materials are included in this special those materials and other materials of describing known in the field.Preferably, this conductive material is transparent, such as indium oxide, tin oxide or tin indium oxide (ITO).Substrate can be can provide desirable optical transmission and can equipment described herein and method in any material of playing a role, such as quartzy, glass or plastics, as known in the art.The thickness of conductive layer is usually between 30nm and 200nm.This layer must enough thickly get the conduction that provides enough, but can not thickly must provide excessive thickness to the overall lens structure.Patterned electrode 420 can utilize photoetching technique to form, all as the described herein like that and those of ordinary skill in the art known like that.
Fig. 5 A illustrates wherein all electrodes structure (single layer structure) at grade, wherein has little gap between the territory, adjacent subarea.By lead 520 controller or driver 510 are connected to through hole or contact 530, these through holes or contact 530 are connected to separately controllable electrode 540 successively.Note, can make lead 520 and electrode 540 electrical isolations, can make lead optionally touch electrode by through hole (hole in the described insulation course or passage) or contact 530 then by the insulation course (not shown).Such contact is manufactured in the manufacturing photoetching and is known in the integrated circuit manufacturing.
Or rather, Fig. 5 A illustrate in one deck with one heart, the electrode lay-out that circularizes of individually addressable (can control separately).Ignore lead 520 and through hole, because all electrodes are all in individual layer, so this layout is restricted to " individual layer " structure by insulating.
Alternately, lead 520 can closely combine in the bus (not shown) that radially moves with respect to concentric ring electrode.
Note, can utilize other patterned electrode shape.For example, hexagonal array can comprise hexagonal pixels, and perhaps grid array can comprise square pixel, and perhaps erose set can be proofreaied and correct asymmetric refraction error.Can make the electrode of irregular or complicated shaping and proofread and correct distinctive asymmetric or unconventional or high-order refraction error.In addition, these electrodes can have along the variable thickness of optical axis direction, so that form and liquid crystal complex interactions more.
Alternately,, can control the concentric ring that the array with high pixel density comes approximate diagram 5A, to form diffraction lens if particularly be engaged in the width of a ring electrode more than two pixels.The array of this high pixel density also can be similar to more complicated shape.
Get back to Fig. 5 A, it is 1 electrode that inner most ring electrode is defined as numbering, outwards count down to the 16th outmost electrode.Notice that inner most electrode preferably can be wholecircle shape rather than annular, but Fig. 5 A shows the ring of symmetry, and so that clearly show that through hole or contact 530 with inner most ring electrode.
In order to form 4 grades or 4 phase place diffraction lenss, inner most four rings are combined into a zone.This first area comprises electrode 1-4, outwards numbers from inner most electrode.Among these electrodes 1-4 each all is the subregion of first area.Second area comprises electrode 5-8.The 3rd zone comprises electrode 9-12.The 4th zone comprises electrode 13-16.The combination results of this 16 electrodes has 4 grades of (or phase place) diffraction lenss in 4 zones.
As discussed above, each ring electrode 540 all can be by lead 520 addressing independently.If all electrodes all are distributed in the layer, between adjacent electrode, the electrical isolation gap must be arranged so.Gaps between electrodes may cause phase distortion, and the simulation of this design demonstrates this phase distortion and may influence diffraction efficiency and other performance measurements widely.
In order to alleviate, can use other electrode structures by the caused distortion of the clearance for insulation between the electrode in the single layer designs.For example, ring electrode can be separated into two different layers, to form " bilayer " design.
Especially, the ring that is numbered odd number can be arranged in an electrode layer, and the ring that is numbered even number can be arranged in the second electrode lay separately.These two different electrode layers can be by such as SiO 2Insulation course isolate.
The electrode that Fig. 5 B illustrates the electrode that wherein is numbered odd number and is numbered even number is staggered into two flat seams and structure (double-decker) very close to each other between contiguous subregion.
Controller or driver 510 are delivered to these electrodes by lead 520, and these combination of electrodes become to have the layer 542 and the layer 544 with odd loop of even loop.These two electrode layers are by insulation course SiO 2544 isolate.For the photolithographic fabrication aligning also shows chromium (Cr) alignment mark 560.Also show regional m 580 and regional m+1 590, it is corresponding to the zone of the adjacency of Fig. 5 A.
In Fig. 5 B, demonstrate the xsect of two-layer electrode figure, wherein when vertically observing (observing), be numbered odd number and be distributed in two layers that separate with the ring that is numbered even number along optical axis, and very close to each other between two adjacent electrodes.Especially, be noted that regional m 580 is from r mExtend to r M+1, and comprise 4 electrodes altogether.2 in 4 electrodes among the m 580 of zone is to be numbered the electrode of even number and to be arranged in layer 542, and all the other 2 electrodes among the regional m 580 are arranged in layer 544.
In this case, as under the individual layer situation, each ring electrode 540 can be by through hole from extra layer (not shown Fig. 5 B) addressing individually.Lead 520 can be arranged in any position easily or layer.
Be to form a double-deck example below.Substrate for patterned electrode being applied thereto is deposited on alignment mark 560 on the conductive layer.Any suitable material all can be used to alignment mark, such as chromium (Cr).Alignment mark 560 allows various photo etched masks suitably to aim at substrate, and therefore allow the aligning of pattern, described pattern forms in the procedure of processing that each mask with utilization " mask set " is associated, described " mask set " is manufactured, has desirable total lithographic resolution of electrode when patterned with convenient electrode.Utilize method known in this field and described herein in conductive layer, to constitute a part in the zone of patterned electrode.Will be such as SiO 2One deck insulator deposition of 550 is to patterned conductor layer.Second layer conductor is deposited to SiO 2Go up and in second layer conductor, form the second portion of patterned electrode zone.
The alignment (not shown) places on the second layer conductor and is positioned at second substrate conductors top.Prepare alignment by means commonly known in the art, such as preparing by unidirectional friction.Used alignment is the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) or the nylon 6,6 of spin coating at present.Preferably, with the alignment on the substrate according to another substrate on the antiparallel direction of alignment rub.This provides the suitable aligning of liquid crystal, as known in the art.One deck liquid crystal is placed between the substrate, and with the glass spacer substrate is separated desirable distance (such as separating between 3 microns to 20 microns), perhaps with other modes well known in the art substrate is separated.Spacer can be any desirable material, and all mylars in this way, glass or quartz are perhaps for providing desirable interval useful other materials.In order to obtain effective diffraction, liquid crystal layer must the enough thick delay that is activated (d>λ/δ n~2.5 μ m, wherein δ n is the birefringence of liquid crystal media) so that a wavelength to be provided, but thicker liquid crystal layer helps avoid saturated phenomenon.The shortcoming of thicker unit comprises that switching time, length (was proportional to d 2) and the electric loss that activates feature definition.Transparent substrates can be separated any distance, and this allows the patterned electrode of desired quantity and the liquid crystal layer of desired thickness.In a particular embodiment, transparent substrates is separated between 3 microns to 20 microns, and wherein all each value and scopes.Preferably be 5 microns at interval at present.
At work, applying refraction index changing by controller to electrode is the required voltage of degree of wishing." controller " can comprise processor, microprocessor, integrated circuit, IC, computer chip and/or chip, perhaps is included in above-mentioned processor, microprocessor, integrated circuit, IC, computer chip and/or the chip.Usually, apply up to the about voltage of 2Vrms to electrode.Phase locked, Waveform Control driver is connected to each electrode group according to the collocation form of common ground.At the focusing diffraction efficiency of maximum and optimize a plurality of driver amplitudes simultaneously.As known in the art, determine refractive index is become the degree of hope and required function of voltage by used liquid crystal or liquid crystal compound.

New design with separately addressable patterned electrode
In order to overcome the restriction of previous design, must be to each electrode subregion addressing individually of patterned electrode.Present two kinds of different example use herein.A kind of application allows to switch between the multiple of basic focal length and basic focal length.The another kind of application is more general, and allows focal length is adjusted to infinity continuously from possible minimum value.
1: the discontinuous adjustment of focal length
Consider the general structure of the liquid crystal lens shown in Fig. 3, and consider the electrode pattern shown in Fig. 5 A or Fig. 5 B.Adjust phase outline on the lens by apply appropriate voltage to patterned electrode, and this phase outline has been determined diffraction efficiency.
Independent addressing has increased regional cycle to the subregion of patterned electrode, and has therefore increased focal length, and need not lose diffraction efficiency.Suppose geometric configuration for phase modulation (PM) design electrode pattern with L phase level.According to equation (2a), (2b) and (3),, apply identical voltage promptly for the electrode of two vicinities, with r regional cycle if be combined into one by subregion with per two vicinities 1 2Increase and be 2r 1 2, focal length becomes 2F and can not change diffraction efficiency (Fig. 6) so.Similarly be to utilize fixing electrode pattern, by increasing to 3r regional cycle respectively 1 2, 4r 1 2..., focal length can be become 3F, 4F ....In general, by increasing to kr regional cycle 1 2, focal length can be become kF (k is a positive integer).
If the basic focusing multiplying power of 3 diopters (focal length F=33.33cm) and the adaptive lens of 8 grades of phase steps design separately addressable electrode pattern in order for example to have, lens have 95% diffraction efficiency so.By will the cycle increasing twice, focal length will increase for 2F=66.67cm (focusing on multiplying power=1.5 diopters), and efficient still is 95%.By will increasing three times the cycle, focal length will increase and be 3F=100cm, and corresponding to 1 dioptric focusing multiplying power, and efficient is still identical.By will increasing four times the cycle, focal length will increase and be 4F=133.32cm, and corresponding to 0.75 dioptric focusing multiplying power, and efficient is still identical.Similarly be to realize bigger focal length (littler focusing multiplying power) with identical efficient.When disconnecting lens, do not focus on multiplying power.Table 2 illustrates the parameter that is used for various focusing multiplying powers.In table 3-5, show radius respectively for each subregion of 3 diopters, 1.5 diopters and 1 diopter lens.These structural parameters can calculate according to equation described herein.Can be easy to draw three relations between the subregion border that focuses on multiplying powers.
Table 2 has provided the example of some the focusing multiplying powers that can utilize separately addressable patterned electrode and obtain.Suppose that basic focusing multiplying power is 3 diopters (F=33.3cm), and the aperture of lens is 10mm.Table 2 shows that diffraction efficiency keeps identical when changing focal length.
Table 2
Focus on multiplying power Phase level Diffraction efficiency K value F '=kF The area of each subregion The width of last subregion
3 diopters (F=33.33cm) 8 ?95% 1 ?1.453×?10 5μm 2 4.6μm
1.5 diopter (F=66.67cm) 8 ?95% 2 ?2.906×?10 5μm 2 9.2μm
1 diopter (F=100cm) 8 ?95% 3 ?4.359×?10 5μm 2 13.8μm
0.75 diopter (F=133.32cm) 8 ?95% 4 ?5.812×?10 5μm 2 18.5μm
0 diopter (closing lens) Inapplicable ?- Infinitely great ?- -
The significant advantage of separately addressable patterned electrode is, it is used for the different identical lens that focus on the adaptive ability of multiplying powers identical diffraction efficiency is provided really to having.
In this was used, adjustable focal length was the multiple of basic focal length F and basic focal length.Therefore, the resolution of adjustment also is F.For example, if be the basic focal length design electrode of 10cm, so adjustable focal length will be that 10cm, 20cm, 30cm etc. are up to infinity.If other middle focal length is desirable, can use less basic focal length so.But when F was very little, the characteristic dimension of electrode became very little for wide-aperture lens, and was difficult to utilize current available technology to make its cost low.
2. the continuous adjustment of focal length
Desirable is to design adaptive lens, makes it to be utilized by all patients and application.This needs lens to have the ability that continuously changes focal length in desirable scope.For this purpose, developed more generally design methodology, this design methodology allows to adjust continuously focal length.As mentioned above, patterned electrode is the circular array of the ring of specific dimensions.Each ring all is separately addressable.The suitable resolution of ring is by wanting controlled focal range to determine.For the focal length of each expection, utilize equation (2a) and (2b) can calculate the size of each subregion in the All Ranges.Can select the ring of a certain quantity to form each subregion, and can apply suitable voltage.If the resolution of these rings is enough good, when focal length changed, lens can always have high-level efficiency so, and did not have tangible efficiency change.The required resolution of patterned electrode is to be determined by the size of the subregion in last several zones of desirable lens, and is as the described herein such.
Fig. 7 shows and utilizes the separately addressable circular array of the electrode with suitable resolution to adjust focal length continuously.It is the electrode gap of the subclass that is used for electrode of unit that four examples among Fig. 7 show with μ m.In example A, B, C and D, described the geometric parameter of the focusing multiplying power of 3D, 2.5D, 2D and 1D respectively.R is the radius of zone boundary.
Here illustrated that focal length varies continuously to infinitely-great example from~30cm.The diameter of supposing lens is 10mm, and uses 8 grades of phase modulation (PM).For principle of specification, in Fig. 7, described the geometric parameter of the adjustable focusing multiplying power of 3D, 2.5D, 2D and 1D, wherein clearly show that the radius of each zone boundary and for the width of each subregion in last or two zones.In table 3-7, can find the more detailed parameter of these lens.As can be seen, for specific focusing multiplying power, in the edge of these lens, the wide variety of each subregion is very little, and when the aperture of lens increases, this variation even littler.For bigger focusing multiplying power, the area of width and each subregion is less.Suppose that each electrode is that 1 μ m is wide in this area.In this example, because the width of each subregion can form a sub regions with several combination of electrodes so, and make the border of each subregion draw close immediate boundary electrode greater than 1 μ m together.The combination of these electrodes meaned to it apply identical voltage.
For example, for the situation (example C) of 2D, can be with 7 combination of electrodes to form all subregions in zone 45.Can form every other subregion similarly.Round-off error causes that very little variation takes place diffraction efficiency.On the other hand, in the zone near the lens center, if use approximate meticulous electrode, phase step can be greater than 8 so, and therefore can increase the diffraction efficiency in this zone.In general, when adjusting the focusing multiplying power, diffraction efficiency will be much at one.When focal length from 1m (focus on multiplying power 1D) when increasing to infinity, the width of each subregion increases, and makes up by the electrode to calculating quantity and can produce all subregions.Therefore, in this example, can adjust all focal lengths, and these lens can be used in need correct all persons under inspection of different distance eyesight in this scope from~30cm to infinitely great (focus on multiplying power from 0 to 3D).
Point out as top, owing to have bigger physical dimension, so the electrode density in this zone is with compare near the electrode density in the zone at edge can littler (electrode size near the center can be bigger than those electrode sizes in other zones) near the zone at center.If it is identical that the density of electrode keeps near the zone at center, can obtain higher phase level so and will increase the order of diffraction.
The another kind of method that realizes this purpose is to utilize eccentric (pixilated) spatial light modulator in the position that utilizes little rectangular pixels.These pixels can become multilayer, thereby reduce when the right-angle view substrate or eliminate the gap, are similar at 2 layers of circular electrode shown in Fig. 5 B.
