As in figure 2 it is shown, the lens arra manufacture method that first embodiment of the invention provides at least includes that step S21 is to step S25。
Step S21, the coiled material surface at flexible base board forms oriented layer, and wherein, described alignment layer surface has presets side Groove upwards.
In the present embodiment, flexible parent metal can be flexible glass, polyethylene terephthalate (Polyethylene Terephthalate, PET), PEN (Polyethylene Naphthalate, PEN), Merlon (Polycarbonate, PC), polyether sulfone (Polyether Sulfone, PES), polyimides (Polyimide, PI), compound The base materials such as material film (Fiber Reinforced Plastic, FRP).It should be noted that flexible parent metal needs orientation Layer material has good adhesive force, and has good heat stability.Compared to existing using sheet materials such as glass as auxiliary material Birefringent lens array manufacture method, replaces sheet material with the most economic flexible parent metal, and cost is lower and is conducive to reclaiming, effectively Reduce production cost.
It is understood that the surface of the groove having on preset direction of oriented layer be oriented layer away from flexible base board Surface.
Concrete, as it is shown on figure 3, step S21 may comprise steps of S31 and step S32.
Step S31, the coiled material surface at described flexible base board prints oriented layer.
In the present embodiment, can by by the alignment layer material even application of liquid at a side surface of flexible base board, Gu Oriented layer is formed after change.Directly membranaceous oriented layer can also be printed on the coiled material surface of flexible base board by transfer printing process.
In order to improve production efficiency, the present embodiment can preferably employ the ink-jet printing process coiled material surface at flexible base board Form oriented layer.Now, as shown in Figure 4, step S31 may comprise steps of S41 to step S43.
Step S41, launches in the first direction by the coiled material of described flexible base board.
Step S42, the printing head controlling inkjet-printing device moves and in a second direction to the table of described flexible base board Face spraying alignment layer material.
Fig. 5 shows the schematic diagram controlling inkjet-printing device at the coiled material surface printing oriented layer of flexible base board.Such as Fig. 5 Shown in, when flexible base board 100 coiled material be rotated in around w direction X-direction at the uniform velocity launch time, the printing head of inkjet-printing device 50 move back and forth in the Y direction, and the alignment layer material even application of liquid is at a side surface of flexible base board 100.Need explanation Being that X-direction i.e. represents first direction, Y-direction i.e. represents second direction.Wherein, alignment layer material spraying thickness affect because of Element includes the development rate of the coiled material of flexible base board 100, the movement velocity of printing head 50 and the viscosity of alignment layer material, printing The air pressure of shower nozzle 50, the factor such as solid content composition height of alignment layer material.In the present embodiment, the alignment layer material of liquid is permissible For polyamic acid solution or polyimides (polyimide, PI) solution.
It should be noted that in order to prevent the alignment layer material of spraying from being polluted by the impurity in environment before curing, in control The printing head 50 of inkjet-printing device processed moves and in a second direction to the surface spraying alignment layer material of flexible base board 100 During, need the alignment layer material being sprayed on flexible base board 100 surface is carried out precuring, to add quick-dissolving agent evaporation.Such as, The detailed description of the invention of precuring can be: is set to preheat platform by the substrate 52 placing the coiled material of flexible base board 100, in control The printing head 50 of inkjet-printing device processed moves and in a second direction to the surface spraying oriented layer material of described flexible base board 100 Maintain certain temperature during material, to accelerate to be sprayed on the solvent evaporation of the alignment layer material on flexible base board 100 surface, subtract The impact of dust fall before few solvent volatilization.
Step S43, carries out heat cure and forms oriented layer the alignment layer material being sprayed on described flexible base board surface.
In order to remove the solvent in the alignment layer material being sprayed on flexible base board 100 surface, alignment layer material is thoroughly solid Change and form oriented layer 54, can further the alignment layer material being sprayed on flexible base board 100 surface after precuring be entered Row heat cure, makes the oriented layer 54 of formation be adhering closely to the surface of flexible base board 100.Such as, above-mentioned heat cure is concrete real The mode of executing can be: by high temperature tunnel furnace 60, the alignment layer material being sprayed on flexible base board surface is carried out heat treatment, the most such as Shown in Fig. 6, by the flexible base board 100 being coated with alignment layer material after precuring along the direction of arrow shown in Fig. 6 through too high Temperature continuous tunnel furnace 60, makes the oriented layer 54 of formation be closely adhered on the surface of flexible base board 100.Above-mentioned high temperature tunnel furnace 60 is permissible Employing non-contact infrared heats.When the birefringent lens array that the present embodiment ultimately forms is non-electrical device, it is not necessary to relatively Big tilt angle, therefore, can use relatively low temperature when heat cure.
Step S32, carries out friction to described oriented layer away from the surface of flexible base board and forms the groove on preset direction.
The oriented layer 54 on flexible base board 100 surface needs after being fully cured the oriented layer formed is carried out friction orientation. As a kind of embodiment, the friction orientation of oriented layer can be used traditional mechanical friction, such as, as it is shown in fig. 7, by specific Villus cloth (cotton, nylon or staple fibre) be attached to the outer surface of cylinder, relative by between cylinder 70 with oriented layer 54 Motion realizes the mechanical friction of oriented layer 54, at oriented layer 54 away from the ditch on the surface formation preset direction of flexible base board 100 Groove 72.The direction of arrow shown in Fig. 7 can represent the direction of motion of flexible base board 100.Need to illustrate that this groove 72 is miniature ditch Groove, its yardstick is in molecular level.Above-mentioned preset direction i.e. determines the differently-oriented directivity of birefringent material molecule, therefore, friction side Depending on needs are according to concrete application demand.Such as, when the birefringent lens array made coordinates the rotatory device of about 90 degree, When 2D/3D switchable autostereoscopic display field, to realize showing normal 2D image under rotatory device closed mode, the most in advance Set direction i.e. frictional direction should be parallel to the light direction of 2D display module, i.e. go up the direction of polaroid light transmission shaft.
After oriented layer 54 is carried out mechanical friction, substantial amounts of dust can be produced.Therefore, above-mentioned to described oriented layer 54 away from After the surface of flexible base board 100 carries out the step of the groove 72 on friction formation preset direction, also include determining after friction It is carried out to layer 54.Cleaning way has multiple, including dry clean and wet-cleaned such as washing.As shown in Figure 8, oriented layer is worked as 54 when being directly printed on flexible base board 100 surface, for producing the problems such as oriented layer comes off, cleaning equipment 80 in prevention water-washing process Can preferentially use ultrasound wave dry-cleaning machine.Additionally, due to wet-cleaned needs substantial amounts of consumable goods, such as deionized water and Its chemical agent etc., use dry-cleaning machine to save substantial amounts of cost compared to employing wet-cleaned.
Step S22, forms birefringent material layer at described alignment layer surface coating birefringent material, wherein, described two-fold Penetrate material for being in mesomorphic birefringent material.
In the present embodiment, the birefringent material being coated with is for being in mesomorphic liquid crystal material.As it is shown in figure 9, can lead to Cross apparatus for coating 90 and form birefringent material layer 200 through oriented layer 54 surface of friction orientation coating birefringent material.
As a kind of embodiment, can be coated with through oriented layer 54 surface of friction orientation by slot coated device Birefringent material forms birefringent material layer 200.Slot coated device includes the coating head with slit.In coating process, logical Overregulate the viscosity of liquid crystal material, liquid crystal material injects the speed of coating head, slit seam is wide, coating head is relative to oriented layer 54 Movement velocity and coating head distance oriented layer 54 away from the height on the surface of flexible base board 100 can control to be formed double The thickness of birefringent material layer 200.
As another embodiment, can be by Multi needle apparatus for coating at described oriented layer 54 surface coating birefringence Material forms birefringent material layer 200.Multi needle apparatus for coating can include the coating head with multiple hollow pinhead.Coated Cheng Zhong, can regulate the width of formed birefringent material layer 200 by the quantity regulating the hollow pinhead that coating head is used Degree.For example, it is possible to control the width of formed birefringent material layer 200 by the way of dismounting or blocking portion hollow pinhead Degree.By the internal diameter of hollow pinhead in regulation coating head, the hollow pinhead extrusion speed of liquid crystal material, coating head relative to fixed Institute's shape can be controlled away from the height on the surface of flexible base board 100 to the movement velocity of layer 54 and hollow pinhead distance oriented layer 54 The thickness of the birefringent material layer 200 become.
Apparatus for coating 90 such as slot coated device or Multi needle apparatus for coating that the present embodiment uses are automatic coating Device.The control accuracy of the distance between coating head and oriented layer 54 surface of automatic coating device is higher, and coating speed is very fast, Coating process is difficult in liquid crystal material introduce air bubble.It addition, compared to hand coatings mode, the liquid of automatic coating device The control accuracy of brilliant material usage is the highest, advantageously reduces the consumption being coated with liquid crystal material, it is to avoid liquid crystal material is coated with The most excessive cause waste, it is adaptable to the large-scale production of birefringent lens array.
Step S23, is fitted the coiled material of lens coating with described birefringent material layer by volume to volume technique.
Before the coiled material of lens coating and described birefringent material layer being carried out the step fitted by volume to volume technique, also need Lens coating is carried out friction orientation, in order to the orientation of follow-up birefringent material molecule.To the frictional direction of lens coating with right The frictional direction of oriented layer 54 is identical or contrary, also to form the groove on preset direction on lens coating surface.
Such as, as it is shown in figure 9, the outer circumference surface of the friction roller 92 of rubbing machine be pasted with friction cloth (as nylon, cotton or Staple fibre etc.), when the coiled material of lens coating 300 launches in the arrow a direction shown in Fig. 9, can be according to the side of mechanical friction Formula uses the above-mentioned friction roller 92 being pasted with friction cloth to rub lens coating 300 surface launched.Lens coating 300 is entered During row friction orientation, the setting of its frictional direction should meet following condition: when the flexible base board being coated with birefringent material layer 200 100 and after lens coating 300 volume to volume fitted, the oriented layer 54 on the frictional direction of lens coating 300 and flexible base board 100 Frictional direction is identical or contrary, the bearing of trend of the groove 72 that the most above-mentioned oriented layer 54 mantle friction is formed and lens coating 300 table The bearing of trend of the groove 94 that face friction is formed is identical.
But, through the research of inventor with repeatedly it is demonstrated experimentally that the orientation of birefringent material is not had by the friction of lens coating 300 There is significantly help.On the one hand it is that birefringent material layer 200 is relatively thin, the ditch to the preset direction that oriented layer 54 friction orientation is formed Groove 72 disclosure satisfy that the orientation of birefringent material molecule;Other direction, compared to oriented layer 54, the hardness of lens coating 300 is relatively big, Lens coating 300 is carried out the friction effect that friction orientation is difficult to reach, and the groove 94 formed is less, divides birefringent material The help of sub-orientation is less.Therefore, in a kind of preferred embodiment of the present invention, eliminate the carrying out to lens coating 300 and rub Wipe the step of orientation, beneficially shortened process, reduce equipment cost and energy consumption.
It addition, for guaranteeing the cleanliness factor of lens coating 300 before volume to volume laminating, by the coiled material of lens coating 300 with described Before birefringent material layer 200 is fitted, can first the lens coating 300 after launching be carried out.Such as, disappear to reduce Consumption, cost-effective, can use dry-cleaning machine 96 to launch after lens coating 300 be carried out.
Concrete, as shown in Figure 10, step S23 may comprise steps of S101 and step S102.
Step S101, carries out para-position by the coiled material of the coiled material of lens coating with the flexible base board being coated with birefringent material layer.
Owing to lens coating 300 and flexible base board 100 are coiled material, lens coating 300 and flexible base board 100 therefore need not be considered The para-position of length direction, only in the direction of the width lens coating 300 and flexible base board 100 need to be carried out para-position so that lens coating 300 surfaces covering the birefringent material layer 200 formed on flexible base board 100.
Step S102, uses rolling process by the volume of the coiled material of lens coating with the flexible base board being coated with birefringent material layer Material carries out volume to volume laminating.
After lens coating 300 is covered the surface of the birefringent material layer 200 formed on flexible base board 100, so that Lens coating 300, birefringent material layer 200 and be printed with the flexible base board 100 of oriented layer 54 and form similar " sandwich " structure, And make the thickness of birefringent material layer 200 more uniform, need by rolling process by the coiled material of lens coating 300 be coated with The coiled material of the flexible base board 100 of birefringent material layer 200 carries out volume to volume laminating.As it is shown in figure 9, rolling device 98 can be passed through Fit together formation above-mentioned " sandwich " structure by lens coating and the flexible base board being coated with birefringent material layer, arrow in Fig. 9 The direction of motion that direction is flexible base board 100 of head b.Such as, rolling device 98 can be cylinder rolling device, is specifically as follows Including there being the cylinder rolling device of certain interval between two cylinders and two cylinders, during use, by lens coating 300 and be coated with After flexible base board 100 para-position of birefringent material layer 200 gap through between two cylinders realize lens coating 300 be coated with double The laminating of the flexible base board 100 of birefringent material layer 200.Rolling device 98 can also for including an articles holding table and a cylinder, During use, by the lens coating 300 after para-position and be coated with the flexible base board 100 of birefringent material layer 200 and be placed on articles holding table, To lens coating 300 by the relative motion of cylinder and articles holding table and it is coated with the flexible base board 100 of birefringent material layer 200 and carries out Roll-in, it is achieved the laminating of lens coating 300 and the flexible base board 100 being coated with birefringent material layer 200.
Step S24, carries out orientation to described birefringent material layer so that the molecule of described birefringent material is according to described pre- Set direction arranges.
After above-mentioned steps S21 to step S23, the coiled material of the coiled material of lens coating 300 and flexible base board 100 is through pulleying pair Volume laminating forms above-mentioned " sandwich " structure, at this time, it may be necessary to further to the birefringence material in " sandwich " structure formed The bed of material 200 carries out orientation, so that the molecule of described birefringent material arranges according to described preset direction.
In above-mentioned steps S21, the groove 72 of the formed preset direction that rubs oriented layer 54 surface is i.e. for luring Send out the orientation of birefringent material molecule so that birefringent material molecule all arranges according to preset direction, i.e. makes birefringent material The long axis direction of molecule is all along the bearing of trend of above-mentioned groove 72.But, under room temperature, above-mentioned process of alignment is relatively slower, in order to add The orientation speed of speed birefringent material layer 200, needs birefringent material layer 200 is heated to preset temperature, makes birefringent material The major axis of molecule is consistently oriented along the bearing of trend of the groove 72 on oriented layer 54 surface.Wherein, preset temperature exceedes double The fusing point of refractive material and the clearing point less than birefringent material.
