    Three working states of LC lens polarizer-free imaging method using 90° TN cell. (a) 90° TN cell twists at arbitrary angles, and LC lens does not work; (b) 90° TN cell twists at 0°, and LC lens is in-focus; (c) 90° TN cell twists at 90°, and LC lens is in-focus
    Out-of-focus image Ir, in-focus images If0°and If90° of polarizer-free LC lens, and If (dash line A is used for gray value measurement). (a) Out-of-focus image Ir; (b) in-focus image If0° of polarizer-free LC lens; (c) in-focus image If90° of polarizer-free LC lens; (d) If
    Gray values of space lines. (a) Out-of-focus image Ir; (b) in-focus image If0° of polarizer-free LC lens; (c) in-focus image If90° of polarizer-free LC lens; (d) If
    Out-of-focus image Ir, in-focus images If0° and If90° of polarizer-free LC lens, and result image If obtained by proposed method. (a) Out-of-focus image Ir; (b) in-focus image If0° of polarizer-free LC lens; (c) in-focus image If90° of polarizer-free LC lens; (d) result image If obtained by proposed method
