利用自對位黃光微影製程進行偏振無關液晶透鏡陣列的製作與其成像能力之研究，該透鏡陣列結構由兩層正交水平排列的液晶層所構成以使其具有偏振無關的透鏡能力，中間玻璃基板採用自對位圓形孔洞陣列電極。
為了避免液晶透鏡產生不連續線缺陷而影響影像品質，透鏡製作時在其圓形孔洞陣列電極表面塗佈NOA65光學膠並照光固化當做介電層以避免上述問題。所製作之液晶透鏡陣列在電壓操作於6.5~7.5 Vrms時其偏心(Tilt Angle)誤差小於5%，上下層干涉條紋一致且對稱分佈。藉由入射不同線性偏振角度的光束穿越液晶透鏡陣列並觀察其焦聚光點強度大小，以評斷其偏振無關的特性。
另外，根據液晶透鏡陣列不同的製程條件觀察並討論其對透鏡能力的影響進行比較，包括電極種類、玻璃厚度、液晶層電力線分佈、焦距變化等。其中，降低中間層玻璃厚度為0.55 mm發現其MTF數值相較於0.7 mm玻璃厚度有較佳的表現。

A proposed method of self-aligned photo lithography processes to fabricate polarization-independent liquid crystal lens arrays (LCLAs) is demonstrated. The structure of LCLAs is composed of two liquid crystal layers with orthogonal homogeneous alignments with three conductive glass substrates as similar as a sandwich. In order to prevent the disclination line issue occurred in LCLAs to degrade image performance, the additionally coated NOA65 films as dielectric layers on the both conductive surfaces of dual-hole pattern electrodes are used. During electric operations in the range of 6.5~7.5 Vrms, consistent interference patterns are available in both LC layers but the tilt angle error less than 5% exists. The incident light with various directions of linear polarization throught the fabricated LCLAs obviously shows almost same focal intensities. Finally, the polarization-independent LCLAs show image performance via optical obervations with a polarization optics microscope and quantitative evaluations with a software named Quick MTF.
