  • GRIN LC LENS WITH CARBON NANOTUBE SPACERS
    Publication number: 20240077727
    Abstract: An optical element includes a first optical substrate, a second optical substrate overlying at least a portion of the first optical substrate, a liquid crystal layer disposed within a cell gap between the first optical substrate and the second optical substrate, and a plurality of carbon nanotube pillars extending between the first optical substrate and the second optical substrate across the cell gap. The carbon nanotube pillars may have an aspect ratio of at least approximately 2:1, and may be configured to maintain a uniform cell gap thickness.
