A simple and low-cost technique is proposed to construct a tunable liquid crystal (LC) microlens with a crater polymer structure, which is prepared using micro-drop technology and 2-step UV polymerization. The dimensions and the geometric profile of the restructured polymer surface significantly depend on the volume of the micro droplet, and the UV irradiation dose. In this work, the focal length of the LC microlens is controlled electrically from infinity to 7.8 cm. Such a microlens has prospective applications in optical communications, image processing, and switchable 2D/3D displays.
