Description

Array device capable of independently controlling lens units, imaging apparatus and driving method
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of optical imaging technology, and in particular, to an array device capable of independently controlling lens units, an imaging apparatus, and a driving method.
Background
Conventional lc lens structures use patterned electrodes to form a non-uniform electric field distribution across the cell, with the lc molecules rotating under their influence to produce refractive index changes, forming a nearly parabolic refractive index distribution in the plane. When voltage is applied to the electrodes on the two sides of the liquid crystal box, potential difference is generated in the liquid crystal box, the potential difference at different positions is different, and nonuniform potential distribution is formed in a plane, so that the refractive index distribution of liquid crystal molecules changes along with the voltage, and the phase of incident light is modulated to be diffused or converged. In practical application, the aperture of the liquid crystal lens is often limited by the performance and voltage of the lens, and the aperture of the light transmission is smaller, so that the aperture of the liquid crystal lens cannot be matched with the aperture of the glass lens and the window of the detector. Therefore, in order to cope with a large-caliber use scene, a light field camera, and the like, a liquid crystal lens array has been attracting attention. For the traditional round hole liquid crystal lens structure, to realize the independent control of each liquid crystal lens in the liquid crystal lens array, the structure mode that all round hole pattern electrodes and round electrodes are in the same plane and the round electrodes are provided with extraction electrodes at the openings of the round rings is generally adopted. However, the conventional liquid crystal lens with the patterned electrode structure needs high voltage control, and in the structure, the outgoing line and the side electrode generally have larger voltage difference, so that the phase distribution of the peripheral liquid crystal lens is interfered by the voltage of the outgoing electrode, and the problems of asymmetric phase distribution, increased aberration and the like occur.

If not conflicting, the embodiments of the present application and the features of the embodiments may be combined with each other, which are all within the protection scope of the present application.
Example 1:
The embodiment provides an array device capable of independently controlling lens units, as shown in fig. 1, the liquid crystal lens array device comprises a first substrate 51, a second substrate 52 and a liquid crystal layer 81 positioned between the first substrate 51 and the second substrate 52, wherein a first pattern electrode 10 and a plurality of first electrode units 20 with independent signal transmission lines are arranged on one side of the first substrate 51 facing away from the liquid crystal layer 81, a third pattern electrode 60 is arranged on one side of the first substrate 51 facing away from the liquid crystal layer 81, a second pattern electrode 31 and a plurality of second electrode units 40 with independent signal transmission lines are arranged on one side of the second substrate 52 facing away from the liquid crystal layer 81, and a fourth pattern electrode 90 is arranged on one side of the second substrate 52 facing towards the liquid crystal layer 81. The first alignment layer 71 and the second alignment layer 72 may also be disposed on both sides of the liquid crystal layer 81.
The first substrate 51 and the second substrate 52 are transparent substrates made of transparent materials, preferably glass substrates. After applying the driving voltages to the respective pattern electrodes and the respective electrode units (the first electrode unit 20 and the second electrode unit 40) in the liquid crystal lens array device, the liquid crystal lens array device may form a plurality of liquid crystal lens units, each of which may be used as a separate one of the liquid crystal lenses, and the liquid crystal lens unit corresponding to the electrode unit may be separately controlled by separately controlling the driving voltages applied to the respective electrode units. The extraction circuit of the electrode unit is used for independently providing driving voltage for the electrode unit corresponding to the signal transmission line so as to realize independent control of the liquid crystal lens unit corresponding to the electrode unit. The first pattern electrode 10, the second pattern electrode 31, the third pattern electrode 60, and the fourth pattern electrode 90 may be formed by processing a plane according to a predetermined pattern. The pattern may be various shapes, such as a circle, an ellipse, a multi-deformation, a square, a ring, etc., and may be various shapes of holes, such as a circle, an ellipse, a multi-deformation, a square, etc., and the specific pattern shape of the pattern electrode may be set according to the application requirements, without limitation. The signal transmission line may be, but not limited to, an extraction circuit, an extraction line, an extraction electrode, a contact, a pin, or the like.
The first pattern electrode 10 and the second pattern electrode 31 respectively disposed on both sides of the liquid crystal layer 81 in the present embodiment may serve as common electrodes of the pattern electrodes and the electrode units on the opposite sides of the liquid crystal layer 81. For example, the first pattern electrode 10 may serve as a common electrode of the second pattern electrode 31 and the second electrode unit 40, and the second pattern electrode 31 may serve as each electrode of the first pattern electrode 10 and the second electrode unit 40. Since the first electrode unit 20 and the second electrode unit 40 are respectively located at two sides of the liquid crystal layer 81, that is, the first electrode unit 20 and the second electrode unit 40 are not in the same plane parallel to the liquid crystal layer 81, the projections of the first electrode unit 20 and the second electrode unit 40 on the reference plane can be close together or even partially overlap without mutual interference, so that the overall aperture ratio of the liquid crystal lens array is greatly improved.
As shown in fig. 4,5, 7 and 8, in this embodiment, the first pattern electrode 10 is provided with a plurality of first hole-shaped units corresponding to the first electrode units 20 one by one, the projection of the first electrode units 20 on the reference plane is located in the projection of the corresponding first hole-shaped units on the reference plane, and the second pattern electrode 31 is provided with a plurality of second hole-shaped units corresponding to the second electrode units 40 one by one, and the projection of the second electrode units 40 on the reference plane is located in the projection of the corresponding second hole-shaped units on the reference plane.
The first pattern electrode 10 or the second pattern electrode 31 may be processed on the surface electrode from a plurality of holes, each of which serves as one of the first hole-shaped units or one of the second hole-shaped units. In the present embodiment, a first electrode unit 20 is disposed corresponding to each first hole unit, and a second electrode unit 40 is disposed corresponding to each second hole unit. The first electrode unit 20 adopts a shape matched with the first hole-shaped unit, for example, the first hole-shaped unit is a circular hole, the first electrode unit 20 is correspondingly circular, and the first electrode unit 20 is filled in the corresponding circular hole, for example, the first hole-shaped unit is a square hole, the first electrode unit 20 is correspondingly square, and the first electrode unit 20 is filled in the corresponding square hole, for example, the first hole-shaped unit is a regular polygon hole, the first electrode unit 20 is correspondingly a regular polygon hole with the same edge number, and the first electrode unit 20 is filled in the corresponding regular polygon hole.
The second electrode unit 40 adopts a shape matched with the second hole unit in the same way, for example, the second hole unit is a round hole, the second electrode unit 40 is correspondingly round, and the second electrode unit 40 is filled in the corresponding round hole, for example, the second hole unit is a square hole, the second electrode unit 40 is correspondingly square, and the second electrode unit 40 is filled in the corresponding square hole, for example, the second hole unit is a regular polygon hole, the second electrode unit 40 is correspondingly a regular polygon hole with the same number of sides, and the second electrode unit 40 is filled in the corresponding regular polygon hole.
For each first electrode unit 20, the optical power of the liquid crystal lens formed corresponding to the first electrode unit 20 is controlled by controlling the voltage difference applied between the first electrode unit 20 and the second pattern electrode 31 and the voltage difference applied between the first pattern electrode 10 and the second pattern electrode 31.
In the same manner, for each of the second electrode units 40, the optical power of the liquid crystal lens formed corresponding to the second electrode unit 40 is controlled by controlling the voltage difference applied between the second electrode unit 40 and the first pattern electrode 10 and the voltage difference applied between the second pattern electrode 31 and the first pattern electrode 10.
The first pattern electrode 10 and the first electrode unit 20 may be in the same layer or different layers, and the second pattern electrode 31 and the second electrode unit 40 may be in the same layer or different layers, which is not limited herein.
In the present embodiment, even pattern electrodes, that is, the third pattern electrode 60 and the fourth pattern electrode 90, are provided on the side of the first substrate 51 and the second substrate 52 facing the liquid crystal layer 81.
When the liquid crystal lens works, the first pattern electrode 10, the second pattern electrode 31, the first electrode unit 20 and the plurality of second electrode units 40 of the first substrate 51 and the second substrate 52 are electrified to form potential differences in the liquid crystal layer 81, the third pattern electrode 60 and the fourth pattern electrode 90 on the inner sides of the first substrate 51 and the second substrate 52 serve as floating electrodes, the electric field distribution is shaped to keep the electric field intensity direction of the liquid crystal layer 81 vertical to the substrate surface, and the rotation direction of liquid crystal molecules is ensured to be consistent. The influence of the electric field of the outgoing lines of the first electrode unit 20 and the second electrode unit 40, which are electrified outside the first substrate 51 and the second substrate 52, on the peripheral area is counteracted by the third pattern electrode 60 and the fourth pattern electrode 90, so that the influence of the outgoing lines on the electric field distribution of the lens area in the device can be eliminated, the uniformity and the symmetry of the phase distribution of the circuit liquid crystal lens array device are remarkably improved, and the aberration is reduced.
As shown in fig. 2, 3, 9 and 10, the third pattern electrode 60 includes a plurality of first pattern electrode units that are non-conductive, the projection of the first pattern electrode units on the reference plane is offset from the projection of the second pattern electrode units 40 on the reference plane, the fourth pattern electrode 90 includes a plurality of second pattern electrode units that are non-conductive, the projection of the second pattern electrode units on the reference plane is offset from the projection of the first pattern electrode units 20 on the reference plane, and the reference plane is parallel to the plane of the liquid crystal layer 81.
The first pattern electrode units refer to electrodes having a set shape, each of the electrodes serves as one first pattern electrode unit, and a plurality of first pattern electrode units together form a third pattern electrode 60. The shapes of the respective first pattern electrode units may be the same or different.
The second pattern electrode unit refers to electrodes having a set shape, each of the electrodes serves as a first pattern electrode unit, and a plurality of the first pattern electrode units together form a fourth pattern electrode 90. The shapes of the respective second pattern electrode units may be the same or different. The shape of each first pattern electrode unit may be the same as or different from the shape of each first pattern electrode unit.
The fact that the projection of the first graphic electrode unit on the reference plane is staggered with the projection of the second graphic electrode unit 40 on the reference plane means that the projection of the first graphic electrode unit on the reference plane is located in a blank area without the second electrode unit 40 on the reference plane, and the projection of the second electrode unit 40 on the reference plane is also located in a blank area without the first graphic electrode unit on the reference plane. This causes the projection of the first patterned electrode unit onto the reference plane to form a complementary pattern to the projection of the second patterned electrode unit 40 onto the reference plane.
Similarly, the fact that the projection of the second patterned electrode unit on the reference plane is offset from the projection of the first patterned electrode unit 20 on the reference plane means that the projection of the second patterned electrode unit on the reference plane is located in a blank area without the first patterned electrode unit 20 on the reference plane, and the projection of the first patterned electrode unit 20 on the reference plane is also located in a blank area without the second patterned electrode unit on the reference plane. This causes the projection of the second patterned electrode unit onto the reference plane to form a complementary pattern to the first electrode unit 20 on the reference plane.
Since the positions of the pattern electrodes (the third pattern electrode 60 and the fourth pattern electrode 90) on the side close to the liquid crystal layer 81 and the positions of the electrode units (the first electrode unit 20 and the second electrode unit 40) on the same substrate are complementary, the influence of the electric field of the lead wires of the electrode units energized on the outside on the peripheral region is canceled by the pattern electrodes complementary thereto, and therefore the influence of the lead wires on the electric field distribution of the lens region in the device can be eliminated.
In addition, the third pattern electrode 60 and the fourth pattern electrode 90 are passive electrodes that can generate an induced electric field. That is, the third pattern electrode 60 and the fourth pattern electrode 90 do not need to be provided with external voltages, the third pattern electrode 60 and the fourth pattern electrode 90 can generate an induced electric field through an electric field generated by the signal transmission line, the induced electric field has a suppressing effect on the electric field generated by the signal transmission line, the structure is further simplified by adopting the mode, the induced electric field can be automatically regulated according to the magnitude of the electric field generated by the signal transmission line, and a better suppressing effect can be always achieved on the electric field generated by the signal transmission line.
In the present embodiment, the projection of the first electrode unit 20 on the reference plane and the projection of the second electrode unit 40 on the reference plane are offset from each other.
I.e. the projection of the first electrode unit 20 onto said reference plane is located in the reference plane without the empty area of the second electrode unit 40, as is the projection of the second electrode unit 40 onto the reference plane without the empty area of the first electrode unit 20. This causes the projection of the first electrode unit 20 on the reference plane to form a complementary pattern to the projection of the second electrode unit 40 on the reference plane. With the above structure, the positions of the liquid crystal lens formed by the first electrode unit 20 and the liquid crystal lens formed by the second electrode unit are closer to each other or even are connected with each other at the edge, so that the aperture ratio of the liquid crystal lens array is greatly increased.
In summary, the array device capable of independently controlling the lens unit according to the embodiment can effectively reduce the voltage influence of the extraction electrode, increase the occupation ratio of the effective area, and has the advantages of simple structure and low processing difficulty.

As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the first pattern electrode unit is a square electrode unit, the second pattern electrode is a square electrode unit, the first hole-shaped unit is a round hole-shaped unit, the first electrode unit 20 is a round electrode unit, the second hole-shaped unit is a round hole-shaped unit, and the second electrode unit 40 is a round electrode unit.
