Abstract
Example embodiments relate to an electro-optical component. One embodiment includes an electro-optical component for adaptive visual correction. The component includes a first transparent substrate. The component also includes a second transparent substrate. Additionally, the component includes an optical structure disposed on the first transparent substrate. Further, the component includes a liquid-crystal gap located between the optical structure and the second transparent substrate. Even further, the component includes a first transparent electrode and a second transparent electrode located on opposite sides of the liquid-crystal gap. Still further, the component includes a plurality of spacers located in the liquid-crystal gap between the second transparent substrate and the optical structure. The plurality of spacers includes at least one spacer having a different height than another spacer of the plurality of spacers.
