Detailed Description
It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.
The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments with reference to the attached drawings.
Example one
The embodiment relates to a method for preparing a silicon wafer template for preparing a micro-lens array structure, which is shown in fig. 1 and specifically comprises the following steps:
step a: modifying the silicon wafer to enable the surface of the silicon wafer to have non-wettability;
step b: preparing circular patterns in array arrangement on the surface of the non-wetting silicon wafer to form a patterned surface;
step c: coating SU8 photoresist on the patterned surface to form an SU8 photoresist drop array;
step d: and exposing by ultraviolet light, and heating at 95 ℃ to obtain the silicon wafer template with the cured SU8 convex lens array.
In the above preparation steps, 1H, 2H-Perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane (POTS) is preferably used to modify the silicon wafer in step a, and circular patterns are preferably prepared on the surface of the non-wetting silicon wafer by photolithography, and the pattern size can be accurately controlled by a mask in the photolithography process.
In this embodiment, for the patterns arranged in the array prepared by photolithography, the dimensions of the patterns at each position, that is, the dimension specification of each pattern, may be the same, and at this time, the imaging effect at each position in the microlens array prepared by the silicon wafer template may also be consistent.
However, as another exemplary arrangement, as shown in fig. 1, in this embodiment, for example, each pattern may have a size gradient along an arrangement direction thereof. At this time, the "size gradient" means that the diameter of the circular patterns increases or decreases along the above-mentioned arrangement direction, and for a specific preparation example of this embodiment, the diameter size of the circular patterns arranged in an array increases from 10 μm to 105 μm, and the number of patterns on the whole silicon wafer surface also reaches 476139.
Of course, according to different design requirements, in addition to the above-mentioned pattern having a size gradient along one direction, the embodiment may also enable the prepared pattern to adopt other dimension arrangement forms. It may for example be such that only one end position, or both end positions, or a middle position, or a position near the end/middle has one dimension, while the other positions have other dimensions, or it may also take other arbitrary size arrangements.
By making the pattern of the array arrangement have a size gradient or making the pattern scale different at different positions, the SU8 photoresist drop array formed by coating and the SU8 convex lens array obtained after curing will have the same size gradient or the same scale distribution. In this embodiment, by using different sizes of patterns, silicon templates with patterns of different sizes can be used to make the microlens array capable of controlling the size of the image and the brightness resolution, and the relationship between the patterns of different sizes and the image can be referred to the description in the second embodiment below.
By setting different pattern sizes, when the prepared micro-lens array is used for imaging or screen protection, selective imaging can be carried out, or selective brightness enhancement of the protective film can be realized, and the micro-lens array can be specifically adopted according to actual requirements. For example, in the whole image, for the place where the emphasis is needed, the microlens array with smaller size can be selected to make the image displayed at that place brighter and clearer, and the microlens array with larger size can be selected at other places correspondingly, or a size gradient along one direction can be selected, so that the effect of gradual change of definition can be obtained.
Of course, according to different specific design requirements, the size of the pattern array formed on the surface of the silicon wafer can be arranged differently, and besides the circular pattern as exemplified above, the pattern can also be designed into other shapes based on the configuration of the required microlens, and the modified design of these other shapes is the equivalent design of the circular shape of the present embodiment, and the present embodiment does not limit this.
In this embodiment, when the SU8 photoresist coating is performed, as an exemplary operation manner, for example, a glass brush is used, and a robot controls the position of the glass brush and drives the glass brush to move, during the specific coating, the SU8 photoresist solution is added between the glass brush and the silicon wafer, so that the solution is spread over the entire gap, and then the robot pulls the glass brush to drive the SU8 photoresist solution to slide on the surface of the patterned silicon wafer, so as to form the SU8 photoresist droplet array.
Of course, other operation forms can be adopted in the embodiment besides the above coating method to achieve the same coating effect. In addition, it should be noted that, in the preparation process of this embodiment, the exposure time of the ultraviolet light in step d may be specifically 2s, and the silicon wafer template having the cured SU8 convex lens array is obtained by heating at 95 ℃ for 90s after the exposure of the ultraviolet light in step d, and the heating at 95 ℃ may be performed in an oven.
The preparation of the silicon wafer template of the embodiment is based on the microfluidics of surface tension limitation and the size limitation effect, so that a cured SU8 convex lens array can be obtained on the silicon wafer, and the cured SU8 convex lens array can be further used as a micro lens template for preparing a micro lens array structure.
The specific application of the silicon wafer template prepared in this embodiment will be specifically described in the following second embodiment and third embodiment.
Example two
This embodiment relates to a method for preparing a microlens array structure, which includes first preparing a silicon wafer template having a cured SU8 convex lens array by the method of the first embodiment, and as shown in fig. 2, the method for preparing a microlens array structure of this embodiment further includes:
step e: prepolymer of PDMS and curing agent were mixed as 10: 1, uniformly stirring, removing bubbles, pouring onto the silicon wafer template with the SU8 convex lens array, and placing at room temperature to fully spread and flatten PDMS;
step f: and heating and curing at 60 ℃, and uncovering the poured PDMS to obtain a flexible PDMS micro-lens array which is a concave lens array.
The prepolymer and the curing agent of the PDMS are also called as the main agent and the curing agent in other terms, and after the prepolymer and the curing agent are uniformly mixed, the bubbles are generally removed by breaking the bubbles after floating to the surface by vacuum pumping.
In addition, in the preparation process of this embodiment, the step e is generally left at room temperature for 12h, and the step f is generally heated and cured at 60 ℃ for 1h, and then the PDMS is uncovered, and the heating can also be performed in an oven.
It should be noted that, in the preparation method of this embodiment, it is necessary to ensure that the platform on which the silicon wafer of the poured PDMS is located is horizontal when the PDMS is cured, otherwise, the thickness of the PDMS may be uneven, and the optical performance of the prepared microlens structure may be affected. Meanwhile, PDMS with different qualities can be poured according to needs, so that the design needs of different light transmission properties can be met.
In this embodiment, through the above preparation process, the prepared microlens structure is specifically a concave lens array, and at this time, if the microlens array structure of a convex lens array still needs to be prepared, the following steps should be further performed:
step g: carrying out hydrophobic treatment on the prepared flexible PDMS concave lens array;
arrangement h: prepolymer of PDMS and curing agent were mixed as 10: 1, uniformly mixing and stirring, removing bubbles, pouring the mixture on the concave side of the flexible PDMS concave lens array, and placing the mixture at room temperature to fully spread and flatten PDMS;
step i: heating and curing at 60 ℃, and uncovering the poured PDMS to obtain the flexible PDMS convex lens array.
In the above process of preparing the microlens of the convex lens array, step g may be to add 1H, 2H-perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane, and the amount of 1H, 2H-perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane added in a container is generally 10u L, although the amount of 1H, 2H-perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane may also be adjusted appropriately according to the amount of the flexible PDMS concave lens array.
In addition, the above step h is also performed at room temperature for 12h, and in step i, the PDMS is heated and cured at 60 ℃ for 1h, and then the poured PDMS is uncovered, so as to obtain the flexible PDMS lenticular lens array.
The fabrication of the microlens array structure of this embodiment will be further described with reference to specific fabrication processes and associated performance tests.
In the specific preparation, SU8 photoresist is SU 82005, but in addition, other types of photoresists such as SU 82000.5, SU 82002, etc. or other photosensitive substances can be used.
In the preparation of the silicon wafer template, an SU 82005 photoresist liquid drop array is formed on a silicon wafer by using a coating method, and the height and the volume of the formed liquid drops can be further adjusted by adjusting the coating speed, the size of a pattern (transverse adjustment) and the number of coating layers (longitudinal adjustment).
At this time, in order to verify the influence of the coating process on the formed droplets, three coating methods were used, the three coating speeds were 100mm/min, 50mm/min, and 50mm/min, respectively, and each exposure time was 2 seconds, and curing was performed by heating at 95 ℃ for 90 seconds. By three coating, the structure of the formed SU8 microlens is as shown in fig. 3, and it was found by inspection that the height of a droplet having a diameter of 10 μm was increased from 0.882 μm to 1.691 μm, the contact angle was increased from 19.96 ° to 37.37 °, and the height of a droplet having a diameter of 100 μm was increased from 3.44 μm to 7.469 μm, and the contact angle was increased from 7.8 ° to 17.49 °.
By detecting the contact angles of a plurality of droplet sizes under different coating layer numbers, a contact angle change curve of the SU8 microlens is drawn as shown in FIG. 4, and as can be seen from FIG. 4, in the range of 0-50 μm, the contact angle is obviously reduced along with the continuous increase of the droplet size, and the contact angle is in an exponential reduction trend. In the range of 50-100 μm, the contact angle decreases slowly with the increasing size of the liquid drop, and a plateau area is formed. By the phenomenon, the contact angle can be effectively regulated and controlled within a certain size range in practical preparation.
Since the curvature, the numerical aperture, and the focal length of the microlens have a profound influence on the optical performance thereof, the present embodiment can realize a wide range of adjustment thereof by adjusting the size of the droplet and the number of times of application.
As shown in table 1 below, in the lateral adjustment, when the diameter of the microlens is increased from 10 μm to 100 μm, the curvature, focal length, and numerical aperture of the first layer are changed from 68.4, 28.65, and 0.17 to 2.74, 715.87, and 0.07, respectively, and the curvature, focal length, and numerical aperture of the third layer are changed from 121.36, 16.16, and 0.31 to 5.84, 335.48, and 0.15, respectively. In the longitudinal adjustment, after three coats, the curvature of the lens with the diameter of 10 μm is increased from 68.4 to 121.36, the focal length is decreased from 28.65 to 16.16, the numerical aperture is increased from 0.17 to 0.31, the curvature of the lens with the diameter of 100 μm is increased from 2.74 to 5.84, the focal length is decreased from 715.87 to 335.48, and the numerical aperture is increased from 0.07 to 0.15. Thus, by controlling the coating parameters, lenses with different optical parameters can be obtained, thereby meeting different practical requirements.

Figure BDA0002395517770000101
In this embodiment, the flexible PDMS convex lens and the flexible PDMS concave lens prepared by the above method can perform clear imaging, and since the object distance is much larger than 2 times of the focal length during imaging, the imaging is generally an inverted image.
As shown in fig. 5, generally, the image size increases gradually with the increase in size, the size of the image to be formed also changes with the increase in the number of coating layers, and the luminance resolution of the image also changes with the change in the size of the image to be formed. Specifically, as the number of coating layers increases, the size of the image formed is gradually reduced, which is mainly due to the change of the object distance, and the difference of the magnification or the reduction factor is measured in each case, and as a result, as shown in table 2 below, it is known that the reduction factor is reduced from 1300 to 154 when the diameter of the convex lens is increased from 10 μm to 100 μm.
As shown in Table 3 below, the diameter of the concave lens is increased from 10 μm to 100 μm, and the reduction factor is reduced from 1313 to 198. Thus, by controlling the size of the droplets formed by coating, adjustment of the imaging performance of the produced microlens can be achieved.

In addition, taking the flexible PDMS microlens array structure of the concave lens array prepared by the preparation method of this embodiment as an example, the refractive state of the flexible PDMS microlens array structure and pure PDMS without the microlens array at the air interface to O L ED light is shown in fig. 6, and it can be seen from fig. 6 that the emergent light is increased after the concave lens array PDMS is used.
The transmittance of the microlens arrays with different diameters is measured As shown in FIG. 7, wherein BarePDMS represents pure PDMS without microlens array structure for reference, and the emission spectrum of the O L ED panel with the addition of pure PDMS and the use of PDMS microlens array (PDMS-M L As) film is measured As shown in FIG. 8. from FIG. 7, the transmittance is increased and the brightness of the O L ED device is improved due to the increased transmittance, while from FIG. 8, it can be seen that compared with pure PDMS, PDMS with microlens array structure has different effects on the brightness enhancement of the O L ED device, wherein the enhancement effect of PDMS-M L As with a diameter of 5 μ M is most obvious and the brightness enhancement is 116%.
In addition, fig. 9 is a schematic diagram of a specific application of the PDMS-M L As prepared in this embodiment when it is attached to the surface of a touch display screen, where the diameter of M L As is 5 μ M, and the inventors can see that the brightness of the corresponding portion of the display screen is increased by using the PDMS-M L As of this embodiment through the observation of the touch display screen.
In the method for preparing the microlens array according to the embodiment, the preparation of the microlens array structure can be simply and conveniently realized by adopting the silicon wafer template, the operation is simple, and expensive and precise equipment is not needed in the whole preparation process. Furthermore, when the size gradient design in the first embodiment is utilized, lenses with different sizes can be completed on the same substrate, thereby facilitating the screening of lenses with different parameters.
In addition, the preparation method of the embodiment can easily realize the controllable preparation of the high-flux microlens structure by using the silicon wafer template, the flux of the high-flux microlens structure can reach 375KHz at most, the preparation method is far beyond the existing microfluidic technology, and the application of the microlens array structure can be well promoted.
