Abstract:
1. A lens panel comprising: a first substrate comprising: a first base substrate, a first electrode disposed on the first base substrate, and a first alignment layer disposed on the first electrode, the first alignment layer comprising a plurality of unit alignment areas that form a lens unit; a second substrate comprising: a second base substrate, a second electrode formed on the second base substrate, and a second alignment layer having a second azimuth angle; and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein: the unit alignment areas of the first alignment layer have different polar angles, and the second alignment layer has a uniform polar angle for all of the unit alignment areas such that the liquid crystal layer has different effective azimuth angles in each of the unit alignment areas depending on a polar angle difference between the first and second alignment layers when an electric field is applied thereto; and widths of the unit alignment areas increase as the unit alignment areas are closer to a center of the corresponding lens unit.
