Abstract
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.
