Abstract
A lens panel includes a first substrate, a second substrate, and a liquid crystal layer. The first substrate includes a first base substrate, a first electrode disposed on the first base substrate, and a first alignment layer disposed on the first electrode. The first alignment layer includes a unit lens area. The unit lens area includes a first alignment area having a first azimuthal angle and a second alignment area having a second azimuthal angle. The lens panel may be controlled to function as a Fresnel lens by adjusting the azimuthal angle of the alignment layer without electrodes having micro pitch patterns.
