OPTICAL DEFOCUS LENS AND METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTING OPTICAL DEFOCUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240094560 titled 'OPTICAL DEFOCUS LENS AND METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTING OPTICAL DEFOCUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an optical defocus lens that includes a first lens layer and at least one liquid crystal lens layer. The liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal lens layer are controlled by an electric field to converge or diverge polarized light, forming focal points. The first liquid crystal lens layer converges or diverges light in a first direction to form a first focal point, while the first lens layer or a second liquid crystal lens layer converges or diverges light in a second direction to form a second focal point.

  • The optical defocus lens includes a first lens layer and at least one liquid crystal lens layer.
  • The liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal lens layer are controlled by an electric field to converge or diverge polarized light.
  • The first liquid crystal lens layer forms a first focal point by converging or diverging light in a first direction.
  • The first lens layer or a second liquid crystal lens layer forms a second focal point by converging or diverging light in a second direction.

Original Abstract Submitted

an optical defocus lens includes: a first lens layer and at least one liquid crystal lens layer, where the first lens layer is a concave lens, a convex lens, or a plano lens, a refractive index of liquid crystal molecules in each of the at least one liquid crystal lens layer is controlled by an electric field, to converge or diverge polarized light that is incident to a direction of each liquid crystal lens layer to form a focal point; a first liquid crystal lens layer is configured to converge or diverge polarized light in a first direction to form a first focal point; and the first lens layer or a second liquid crystal lens layer is configured to converge or diverge polarized light in a second direction to form a second focal point.
