the liquid crystal display device comprises a first substrate layer 11, a second substrate layer 12, a first electrode layer 21, a second electrode layer 22 and a liquid crystal material layer 3 consisting of a plurality of liquid crystal material units 31 which are used for being equivalent to micro-lens units in a fly-eye lens one by one; the first substrate layer 11 is stacked on the second substrate layer 12, and a first electrode layer 21 is laid on one surface of the first substrate layer 11 opposite to the second substrate layer 12; a second electrode layer 22 is laid on one surface of the second base material layer 12 opposite to the first base material layer 11; the liquid crystal material layer 3 is encapsulated between the first electrode layer 21 and the second electrode layer 22.
Specifically, the first base material layer 11, the second base material layer 12, the first electrode layer 21, the second electrode layer 22, and the liquid crystal material layer 3 in this embodiment are all transparent material layers. The first electrode layer 21 and the second electrode layer 22 are respectively arranged on the first substrate layer 11 and the second substrate layer 12, the liquid crystal material layer 3 is packaged between the first electrode layer 21 and the second electrode layer 22, and an electric field is applied to each liquid crystal material unit 31 by using the first electrode layer 21 and the second electrode layer 22, so that the liquid crystal material unit 31 can be equivalent to a micro-lens unit in a fly-eye lens; compared with the micro lens prepared by the traditional resin material, the micro lens is not limited to the selection of the low-refractive-index material, and the selection space of the refractive index is large; and the processing technology is low in difficulty and the manufacturing cost is low. In addition, the first substrate layer 11 and the second substrate layer 12 in this embodiment may be both plate-shaped structure layers, and the processed and manufactured dodging lens is a flat-plate-shaped transparent element as a whole, so that the dodging lens is small in mass and volume, convenient to mount, and beneficial to reducing the complexity of the system.
The above is a first embodiment of the dodging lens for micro projection provided in the present application, and the following is a second embodiment of the dodging lens for micro projection provided in the present application, specifically referring to fig. 1 to fig. 6.
A dodging lens for miniature projection, comprising: the liquid crystal display device comprises a first substrate layer 11, a second substrate layer 12, a first electrode layer 21, a second electrode layer 22 and a liquid crystal material layer 3 consisting of a plurality of liquid crystal material units 31 which are used for being equivalent to micro-lens units in a fly-eye lens one by one; the first substrate layer 11 is stacked on the second substrate layer 12, and a first electrode layer 21 is laid on one surface of the first substrate layer 11 opposite to the second substrate layer 12; a second electrode layer 22 is laid on one surface of the second base material layer 12 opposite to the first base material layer 11; the liquid crystal material layer 3 is encapsulated between the first electrode layer 21 and the second electrode layer 22.
Specifically, the first base material layer 11 and the second base material layer 12 may be both H — H9L glass material layers. The thicknesses of the first base material layer 11 and the second base material layer 12 may be the same for the same processing specification. The first electrode layer 21 and the second electrode layer 22 are specifically ITO electrode layers. Similarly, the thicknesses of the first electrode layer 21 and the second electrode layer 22 may be the same. Before the plating of the first electrode layer 21 and the second electrode layer 22 is performed, the surface of the first substrate layer 11 on which the first electrode layer 21 is disposed and the surface of the second substrate layer 12 on which the second electrode layer 22 is disposed may be polished, so that the plating of the first electrode layer 21 and the second electrode layer 22 is more uniform, and the electric field control of the liquid crystal material layer 3 is more stable.
In the present application, the principle example of using the liquid crystal material unit 31 to be equivalent to a microlens unit in a fly-eye lens is as follows, the liquid crystal material has anisotropy, and the refractive index distribution of liquid crystal molecules satisfies the formula:
neff(θ)=neno/((nocosθ)2+(nesinθ))1/2
as shown in fig. 1, wherein: n iseRepresents a refractive index when the polarization direction of incident light is parallel to the long axis direction of the liquid crystal molecules; n isoIndicating a refractive index when the polarization direction of incident light is perpendicular to the long axis direction of the liquid crystal molecules; θ represents the angle between the polarization direction of the incident light and the long axis of the liquid crystal molecules.
As shown in fig. 4, when a voltage/electric field is applied to the liquid crystal material, the liquid crystal molecules under the action of the electric field overcome the influence of the boundary anchoring effect, and rotate along the electric field lines to form a gradient distribution of refractive index similar to a lens, so as to change the refractive index of light passing through different positions of the light, and finally achieve the purpose of bending the light similar to the lens. As shown in fig. 5, when the liquid crystal material is not applied with voltage/electric field, the liquid crystal molecules are only affected by the boundary anchoring effect and the intermolecular interaction force, and the liquid crystal lens corresponds to a parallel plate structure without focusing effect. Based on the working principle of liquid crystal molecules, under a certain temperature and a certain voltage condition, the relationship between the aperture radius r and the refractive index n (r) of the liquid crystal material unit 31 is as follows:
n(r)=nmax-r2/2df’
where f' is the focal length, which can be equivalent to a conventional microlens unit, d is the liquid crystal layer thickness, r is the aperture radius, nmaxThe maximum value of the refractive index of the liquid crystal is the characteristic parameter which can be obtained when the material is selected. When a liquid crystal material with certain type parameters is used for preparing liquid crystal material molecular units to be equivalent to a single microlens, parameters such as the focal length of the known equivalent single microlens are combined, and when an electric field is added to the liquid crystal material unit 31, the relation between the aperture radius r and the refractive index n (r) of the liquid crystal material unit 31 is determined accordingly, so that the required equivalent operation is realized.
In this application, first substrate layer 11 and second substrate layer 12 should not be too thick, and if too thick, will cause great spherical aberration and colour difference easily, also be difficult for thin, and first substrate layer 11 and second substrate layer 12 intensity that is too thin are not enough, lead to the even light lens component of making to break easily. The thickness may be selected for a particular application, for example, from 0.5mm to 0.8 mm. The thickness of the first electrode layer 21 and the second electrode layer 22 may be 0.1mm to 0.2 mm. The above thickness embodiments are not limited specifically, and those skilled in the art can make appropriate adjustment and change according to actual processing requirements.

The manufacturing structure of the lens can be that a single dodging lens unit is prepared firstly, and then a plurality of dodging lens units are spliced to form the dodging lens.
