1. A polymer dispersed liquid crystal film comprising:
- an optical lens comprising a resin base and polymer dispersed liquid crystal particles within the resin base, and having;
a first lens area having a higher refractive index at an outer edge of the first lens area than at a center of the first lens area, and having a lowest refractive index at the center of the first lens area; and
a second lens area surrounding the first lens area and having a lower refractive index at an outer edge of the second lens area than at an inner edge of the second lens area adjacent to the outer edge of the first lens area,wherein the refractive index of the second lens area gradually decreases from the inner edge of the second lens area toward the outer edge of the second lens in all direction.
