Abstract: A flexible liquid crystal Fresnel lens is provided that may realize a lens using a polymer thin film substrate, so that it may provide the same electro-optical characteristics irrespective of polarization of light incident on a lens, and provide flexible characteristics and high image quality. The flexible liquid crystal Fresnel lens includes a liquid crystal layer formed between an upper substrate and a lower substrate in which a Fresnel region pattern is formed, wherein the lower substrate and the upper substrate may respectively include a first substrate and a second substrate including a transparent and flexible material while having a birefringent index, optical axes of the lower substrate and the upper substrate may be perpendicular to each other, and optical axes respectively forming an angle of 45° with respect to the lower substrate and the upper substrate may be formed in the liquid crystal layer.
