Abstract
A liquid crystal (LC) lens device and a method for driving the LC lens device are provided. The LC lens device includes an LC lens array and a driving device, and the LC lens array includes LC lenses in parallel. Each LC lens includes a first substrate, first electrodes disposed on the first substrate, a second substrate, second electrodes on the second substrate, and an LC layer disposed between the first electrodes and the second electrodes to form a Fresnel lens. The driving device is electrically connected to the second electrodes of each LC lens, and provides driving voltages respectively to each of the second electrodes in an order starting from the second electrodes disposed at the edges of the Fresnel lens and ending at the second electrode disposed at the middle of a main lobe region of the Fresnel lens, and there is a preset time difference between driven starting times of every adjacent two second electrodes.
