A liquid crystal lens panel includes a lower lens electrodes divided into lower lens electrode groups; an upper lens electrode positioned opposite to the lower lens electrodes; alignment layers positioned on the lower lens electrodes and the upper lens electrode, respectively; and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the lens electrodes that includes liquid crystal molecules. The liquid crystal layer forms a liquid crystal lens upon application of an electric field by the upper lens electrode and the lower lens electrode groups, and each of the lens electrode groups corresponds to a unit of the liquid crystal lens. The alignment layer is divided into a first region and a second region positioned about a center of the liquid crystal lens, and the liquid crystal molecules included in the first region and the second region are aligned at different angles whose signs are opposite to each other.

Liquid crystal lens panel and display device including the same

A liquid crystal lens panel including: a lens region in which a plurality of unit liquid crystal lenses are located, each of the plurality of unit liquid crystal lenses including a plurality of electrodes, a peripheral area configured to surround the lens region, a first bus line at the peripheral area and including a first contact region coupled to a first one of the electrodes of the unit liquid crystal, and a second bus line at the peripheral area and in parallel to and separate from the first bus line, the second bus line including a second contact region coupled to a second one of the electrodes of the unit liquid crystal lens, wherein the first contact region protrudes from the first bus line, and the second contact region protrudes from the second bus line in a direction facing the first contact region.

A display device may include a display panel configured to display an image. The display device may further include a first electrode overlapping the display panel and separated from the display panel. The display device may further include a second electrode overlapping the first electrode and separated from the display panel. The display device may further include a first liquid crystal layer disposed between the first electrode and a first portion of the second electrode. The display device may further include a third electrode electrically insulated from the first electrode, overlapping the second electrode, and separated from the display panel. The display device may further include a second liquid crystal layer disposed between the third electrode and a second portion of the second electrode.
