ABSTRACT:
A three-terminal liquid crystal (LC) lens cell includes a center-biased symmetrical quadratic electrode network that has a center electrode electrically coupled to a bias voltage source, and a first and a second network electrode circuit. The respective bias voltage terminus of each network electrode circuit is coupled to the bias voltage source, and the respective control voltage terminus of each network electrode circuit is electrically coupled to a selectively variable lens focus control power supply. Each network electrode circuit further includes respective pluralities of network electrodes electrically coupled together in series and quadratic gradient network biasing resistors respectively electrically coupled therebetween to provide a symmetric quadratic voltage pattern. Each LC cell further is typically thin-film resistor biased, having an optically transparent electrically resistive planar layer disposed in electrical contact with each electrode in the center-biased symmetrical quadratic electrode network.
