Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Provided are a liquid crystal lens element, a display unit and a terminal. The liquid crystal lens element includes an upper substrate, a lower substrate and a liquid crystal layer, where directions in which each of the upper and lower substrates extends are defined as the x-direction and the y-direction. An initial molecular orientation direction of the liquid crystal layer agrees with the x-direction. The upper substrate includes a repetition area in which plural A-electrode structures are arrayed in the x-direction so as to generate an electric potential gradient in the x-direction. The lower substrate includes a repetition area in which plural B-electrode structures are arrayed in the y-direction so as to generate an electric potential gradient in the y-direction. One of an opening section and a central electrode elongated in the y-direction is formed in the middle of each A-electrode structure.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A liquid crystal lens element comprising: an upper substrate and a lower substrate facing each other, directions in which each of the upper substrate and the lower substrate extends being defined as a x-direction and a y-direction, the x-direction and the y-direction crossing each other, the upper substrate including a repetition area in which a plurality of A-electrode structures are arrayed in the x-direction so as to generate an electric potential g…
