M. Ye et al., Improvement of decay properties of a liquid crystal microlens with a divided electrode structure, JPN J A P 2, 38(12A), 1999, pp. L1412-L1415
Two methods to create a horizontal electric field were proposed for improve
ment of the turn-off operation of a liquid crystal microlens with a divided
electrode structure. Using these methods, a decrease in decay or recovery
time of the microlens from more than ten seconds to only several millisecon
ds was realized.
