A liquid crystal microlens array (LCMLA) with a chiral nematic liquid crystal material in twisted vertical alignment configuration is demonstrated. The proposed LCMLA has merits of low operation voltage and wavelength‐independent, electrically‐tunable focal length, which are suitable for full color 3D microscopy and endoscope application.
