Detailed Description
The inventor finds out through research that: generally, incident light impinging on a microlens assembly includes normal light and non-normal light. The light intensity of vertical light after penetrating through the micro lens and the micro lens array is reduced slightly, so that the definition of the formed image is higher. And the non-vertical light is refracted when passing through the micro-lens component, so that the light intensity of the non-vertical light is weakened more after passing through the micro-lens component, and the definition of the formed image is lower. When the normal light and the non-normal light exist simultaneously, and the range of the incident angle of the non-normal light when the non-normal light is incident to the microlens or the transparent substrate is large, the consistency of the definition of an image formed after the incident light penetrates through the microlens assembly is weak, so that the condensing efficiency of the microlens is low, and the imaging effect is influenced.
Based on this, the utility model provides a micro lens subassembly, it includes:
a transparent substrate having opposing first and second surfaces;
the micro-lens array comprises a plurality of micro-lenses which are arranged on the first surface of the transparent substrate and are arranged in an array; the micro lenses are polygonal micro lenses, the adjacent micro lenses share the same edge, and the plurality of micro lenses are integrally connected in a seamless mode; and
the first shading layer is arranged on the second surface of the transparent substrate; the first light shielding layer is provided with a plurality of first hollow structures which correspond to the micro lenses one by one; in the direction perpendicular to the first surface, the central axis of the first hollow structure is superposed with the central axis of the corresponding micro lens; the part, not provided with the first hollow structure, of the first light shielding layer is a first light shielding part, and the edges of the projection of the micro lens on the first light shielding layer are all located on the first light shielding part of the first light shielding layer and are spaced from the first hollow structure.
Above-mentioned microlens subassembly can shelter from the parasitic light that the incident angle is great through first light shield layer to improve the incident light and see through the uniformity of the definition of the image that forms behind the microlens, improve microlens spotlight efficiency, improve the formation of image effect promptly.
It should be noted that the vertical light refers to light perpendicular to the incident surface of the microlens, and is not vertical light otherwise.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3, a microlens assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a transparent substrate 110, a microlens 130 array, and a first light shielding layer 190.
Wherein the transparent substrate 110 has a first surface 111 and a second surface 113 opposite to each other. The microlens array 130 includes a plurality of microlenses 130 arranged in an array on the first surface 111 of the transparent substrate 110. The microlenses 130 are polygonal microlenses 130. The adjacent microlenses 130 are arranged in a common edge, and the microlenses 130 are integrally and seamlessly connected. In other words, the middle of the projection of the microlens 130 array on the transparent substrate 110 is free from hollow. The first light-shielding layer 190 is disposed on the second surface 113 of the transparent substrate 110. The first light-shielding layer 190 has a plurality of first hollow structures 191 corresponding to the microlenses 130 one by one. In a direction perpendicular to the first surface 111, a central axis of the first hollow structure 191 coincides with a central axis of the corresponding microlens 130, see a dotted line a in fig. 2. The portion of the first light-shielding layer 190 without the first hollow structure 191 is a first light-shielding portion, and the edges of the projections of the microlenses 130 on the first light-shielding layer 190 all fall on the first light-shielding portion of the first light-shielding layer 190 and are spaced from the edges of the first hollow structure 191.
In the microlens assembly 100, the first light shielding layer 190 can shield stray light with a large incident angle, so that the uniformity of the definition of an image formed after incident light penetrates through the microlens 130 is improved, the light condensing efficiency of the microlens 130 is improved, and an imaging effect is improved.
Specifically, referring to fig. 2, L1 is vertical light, and L2 and L3 are both non-vertical light. The incident angle of L2 is a, and the incident angle of L3 is b. Obviously, the size of the incident angle b is larger than that of the incident angle a, i.e., the incident angle of L3 is larger than that of L2. In other words, the closer to the edge of the microlens 130, the larger the incident angle of the incident light. Accordingly, the closer to the edge of the microlens, the greater the refractive loss of the incident light after it enters the microlens. In this embodiment, the L3 is the light with the largest incident angle that can enter the microlens 130, that is, the first light shielding layer 190 can shield stray light with an incident angle greater than b, that is, light with lower definition after incident imaging, and the definition of incident light with an incident angle less than b is greater than or equal to the definition of incident imaging of the incident light L3, so as to improve the consistency of the definition of images formed by the microlens 130, improve the light gathering efficiency of the microlens, that is, improve the molding effect.
Furthermore, in the embodiment, the first light shielding layer 190 shields the parasitic light with a large incident angle, so that the parasitic light with a large incident angle can be effectively alleviated from being refracted to the light condensing positions of other microlenses 130, and thus, the sampling between different microlenses 130 cannot generate crosstalk, thereby avoiding the parallax phenomenon of the formed image.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, two adjacent first hollow structures 191 are symmetric with respect to the adjacent edge of two corresponding adjacent microlenses 130. Therefore, the part of the first light shielding layer 190, which is located between the two adjacent first hollow structures 191, can symmetrically shield stray light with a large incident angle corresponding to the two adjacent microlenses 130, so that the light condensing efficiency of the two adjacent microlenses 130, which is close to one side of the adjacent edges, is consistent, and the phenomenon that the definition of a pattern formed by the microlens assembly 100 is suddenly high and suddenly low is avoided, namely, the imaging effect of the microlens assembly 100 is improved.
Further, in the embodiment, the widths of the portions of the first light shielding layer 190 located between any two adjacent first hollow structures 191 are the same, so that the light condensing efficiency of the corresponding focusing position of each microlens 130 is consistent, and the overall imaging effect of the microlens assembly 100 is further improved.
Optionally, referring to fig. 3, a separation distance w1 between two adjacent first hollow structures 191 is greater than 3 μm, so that stray light with a large incident angle can be shielded well, and a good imaging effect is obtained.
Optionally, the thickness of the first light shielding layer 190 is 0.8 μm to 3 μm. Therefore, the first light shielding layer 190 can better absorb stray light with a larger incident angle, and the thickness of the microlens assembly 400 is prevented from being excessively increased due to the arrangement of the first light shielding layer 190. Specifically, the thickness of the first light-shielding layer 190 may be 0.8 μm, 0.9 μm, 1.0 μm, 1.2 μm, 1.4 μm, 1.6 μm, 1.8 μm, 2.0 μm, 2.2 μm, 2.4 μm, 2.5 μm, 2.6 μm, 2.8 μm, 2.9 μm, or 3 μm.
Optionally, the first light shielding layer 190 is a titanium layer, a chromium layer, a silicon dioxide layer, or a silicon carbide layer. The titanium layer, the chromium layer, the silicon dioxide layer and the silicon carbide layer are all black shading layers with good light absorption. The first light-shielding layer 190 may be formed by evaporation or coating of photoresist.
Of course, it is understood that, in another possible embodiment, the first light shielding layer 190 is not limited to a titanium layer, a chromium layer, a silicon dioxide layer, or a silicon carbide layer, and may also be a black light shielding layer such as an epoxy resin. Similarly, the thickness of the first light-shielding layer 190 is not limited to 0.8 μm to 3 μm, and the light-shielding layer can absorb light well. In general, the light absorbed by the first light-shielding layer 190 has an optical density of 93% or more, and thus a good image forming effect can be obtained.
In this embodiment, the microlenses 130 have the same size and shape.
In this embodiment, a surface of the microlens 130 attached to the transparent substrate 110 is a first attaching surface 131. The shape of the first hollow structures 191 is the same as that of the corresponding first attachment surface 131, each edge of the first hollow structures 191 is parallel to the edge of the corresponding side of the corresponding first attachment surface 131, and the sizes of the plurality of first hollow structures 191 are the same. Therefore, the light-gathering efficiency of the edge of the light-gathering position corresponding to each microlens 130 is consistent, and the phenomenon that the definition of the pattern formed by the microlens assembly 100 is suddenly high or low is avoided, that is, the imaging effect of the microlens assembly 100 is improved.
In this embodiment, the microlenses 130 are regular hexagonal microlenses, and have a simple structure and are easy to mold. Of course, in another possible embodiment, the microlenses 130 are not limited to regular hexagonal microlenses, but may also be polygonal microlenses such as regular triangular microlenses, square microlenses, or regular pentagonal microlenses.
As shown in fig. 4 and 5, another embodiment of the present invention provides a microlens assembly 200, which is different from the microlens assembly 100 in that:
the microlens assembly 200 further includes a second light-shielding layer 150 disposed on the first surface 111 of the transparent substrate 110 and between the transparent substrate 110 and the array of microlenses 130. The second light-shielding layer 150 has a plurality of second hollow structures 151 corresponding to the microlenses 130 one by one. In a direction perpendicular to the first surface 111, a central axis of the second hollow structure 151 coincides with a central axis of the corresponding microlens 130, as shown by a dotted line a in fig. 4. That is, in a direction perpendicular to the first surface 111, the central axis of the first hollow structure 191 coincides with the central axis of the corresponding second hollow structure 151. The projection of the first hollow-out structure 191 on the second light-shielding layer 150 completely falls on the second hollow-out structure 151, and has a gap with the edge of the second hollow-out structure 151.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, the microlenses 130 are regular hexagonal microlenses 130. The outer diameter of the first hollow structure 191 is smaller than the inner diameter of the second hollow structure 151, so that the projection of the first hollow structure 191 on the second light shielding layer 150 completely falls on the corresponding second hollow structure 151, and has an interval with the edge of the second hollow structure 151.
The second light-shielding layer 150 may be disposed to shield the parasitic light having a large incident angle transmitted through the transparent substrate 110. Therefore, the consistency of the definition of the image formed after the incident light penetrates through the micro lens 130 is further improved, and the light-gathering efficiency of the micro lens 130 is improved, namely, the imaging effect is improved. That is, the second light-shielding layer 150 and the first light-shielding layer 190 work together to improve the light-gathering efficiency of the microlens 130 and the imaging effect.
Specifically, referring to fig. 3, the L4 enters the micro lens and then enters the second light-shielding layer 150, and is shielded by the second light-shielding layer 150. The incident angle of the L4 is larger than that of the incident light having the smallest incident angle that the first light shielding layer 190 can shield. Incident light having an incident angle larger than L4 is blocked by the second light-blocking layer 150 and the first light-blocking layer 190 in this order, and thus stray light having a large incident angle can be better blocked. Thereby further improving the uniformity of the sharpness of the image formed by the microlenses 130 and improving the light-gathering efficiency of the microlenses, i.e., improving the molding effect.
Optionally, referring to fig. 5, the width w2 of the portion between two adjacent second hollow structures 151 is greater than 1 μm, so that stray light with a large incident angle can be shielded well, and a good imaging effect is obtained.
Optionally, the thickness of the second light shielding layer 150 is 0.8 μm to 3 μm. Therefore, the second light-shielding layer 150 can better absorb stray light with a larger incident angle, and the excessive increase of the thickness of the microlens assembly 200 due to the arrangement of the second light-shielding layer 150 is avoided. Specifically, the thickness of the second light-shielding layer 150 may be 0.8 μm, 0.9 μm, 1.0 μm, 1.2 μm, 1.4 μm, 1.6 μm, 1.8 μm, 2.0 μm, 2.2 μm, 2.4 μm, 2.5 μm, 2.6 μm, 2.8 μm, 2.9 μm, or 3 μm.
Optionally, the second light shielding layer 150 is a titanium layer, a chromium layer, a silicon dioxide layer, or a silicon carbide layer. The titanium layer, the chromium layer, the silicon dioxide layer and the silicon carbide layer are all black shading layers with good light absorption. The second light-shielding layer 150 may be formed by evaporation or coating of photoresist.
It is to be understood that the thicknesses of the second light-shielding layer 150 and the first light-shielding layer 190 may be the same or different, and similarly, the material forming the second light-shielding layer 150 and the material forming the first light-shielding layer 190 may be the same or different.
In this embodiment, a surface of the microlens 130 attached to the transparent substrate 110 is a first attaching surface 131. The second hollow structures 151 have the same shape as the corresponding first attachment surface 131, each edge of the second hollow structures 151 is parallel to the corresponding edge of the first attachment surface 131, and the plurality of second hollow structures 151 have the same size. Therefore, the light condensing efficiency of the edge of the light condensing position corresponding to each microlens 130 is consistent, and the phenomenon that the definition of the pattern formed by the microlens assembly 200 is suddenly high or low is avoided, that is, the imaging effect of the microlens assembly 200 is improved.
As shown in fig. 6 and 7, another embodiment of the present invention provides a microlens assembly 300, which is different from the microlens assembly 100 in that:
the second surface 113 of the transparent substrate 110 has a plurality of protrusions 1141 corresponding to the first hollow structures 191, respectively, so that the protrusions 1141 correspond to the microlenses 130 one by one. The protrusions 1141 form relatively recessed regions 114 therebetween. In a direction perpendicular to the first surface 111, a central axis of the protrusion 1141 coincides with a central axis of the corresponding microlens 130, that is, a central axis of the protrusion 1141 coincides with a central axis of the corresponding first hollow structure 191, as shown by a dotted line a in fig. 6. The projection of the protrusion 1141 on the first light-shielding layer 190 completely falls on the first light-shielding layer 190, and is spaced from the edge of the first hollow structure 191. The microlens assembly 300 further includes an embedded light blocking structure 160 filled in the relatively recessed region 114.
In this embodiment, the embedded light shielding structure 160 is flush with the surface of the protrusion 1141 after filling the corresponding recessed region 114.
In this embodiment, the microlenses 130 are regular hexagonal microlenses 130. The inner diameter of the protrusion 1141 is larger than the outer diameter of the first hollow structure 191, so that the projection of the protrusion 1141 on the first hollow structure 191 completely falls on the first hollow structure 191, and is spaced from the edge of the first hollow structure 191.
The embedded light shielding structure 160 can first shield part of the parasitic light with a large incident angle entering the transparent substrate 110. Therefore, the consistency of the definition of the image formed after the incident light penetrates through the micro lens 130 is further improved, and the light-gathering efficiency of the micro lens 130 is improved, namely, the imaging effect is improved. That is, the first light shielding layer 190 and the embedded light shielding structure 160 work together to better improve the light condensing efficiency of the microlens 130 and improve the imaging effect.
Specifically, referring to fig. 6, the L5 enters the micro lens and then enters the embedded light shielding structure 160, and is shielded by the embedded light shielding structure 160. The incident angle of the L5 is larger than that of the incident light having the smallest incident angle that the first light shielding layer 190 can shield. Incident light having an incident angle larger than L5 is blocked by the embedded light-shielding structure 160 and the first light-shielding layer 190 in sequence, so that stray light having a large incident angle can be better blocked. Thereby further improving the uniformity of the sharpness of the image formed by the microlenses 130 and improving the light-gathering efficiency of the microlenses, i.e., improving the molding effect.
Optionally, the embedded light shielding structure 160 is an epoxy light shielding structure. The epoxy resin shading structure has a good light absorption effect. It is understood that, in another possible embodiment, the embedded light shielding structure 160 is not limited to an epoxy light shielding structure, but may be a black light shielding structure such as a titanium structure, a chromium structure, a silicon dioxide structure, or a silicon carbide structure.
In this embodiment, a surface of the microlens 130 attached to the transparent substrate 110 is a first attaching surface 131. The shape of the protrusion 1141 is the same as that of the corresponding first attachment surface 131, each edge of the protrusion 1141 is parallel to an edge of the corresponding side of the corresponding first attachment surface 131, and the plurality of protrusions 1141 have the same size. Therefore, the light-gathering efficiency of the edge of the light-gathering position corresponding to each microlens 130 is consistent, and the phenomenon that the definition of the pattern formed by the microlens assembly 300 is suddenly high or low is avoided, that is, the imaging effect of the microlens assembly 300 is improved.
It should be noted that, in order to avoid the fragmentation of the transparent substrate 110, the depth of the relative recess region 114 is smaller than the thickness of the transparent substrate 110.
As shown in fig. 8, another embodiment of the present invention provides a microlens assembly 400, which is different from the microlens assembly 300 in that: the opposite recessed region 114 is disposed on the first surface 111 of the transparent substrate 110. Likewise, the embedded light shielding structure 160 is filled in the relatively recessed region 114. The first light shielding layer 190 and the embedded light shielding structure 160 work together to improve the light condensing efficiency of the microlens 130 and improve the imaging effect.
As shown in fig. 9 and 10, another embodiment of the present invention provides a microlens assembly 500, which is different from the microlens assembly 100 in that:
the second surface 113 of the transparent substrate 110 is provided with a plurality of annular grooves 115 corresponding to the microlenses 130 one to one. The central axis of the inner circle of the annular groove 115 coincides with the central axis of the corresponding microlens 130 in a direction perpendicular to the first surface 111, as indicated by the dotted line a in fig. 9. The projection of the inner ring of the annular groove 115 on the first light shielding layer 190 completely falls on the first light shielding portion of the first light shielding layer 190, and is spaced from the first hollow structure 191. The microlens assembly 500 further includes a ring-shaped cylindrical light shielding structure 170 filled in the annular groove 115.
In this embodiment, the ring-shaped light-shielding structure 170 is flush with the surface of the second surface 113 of the transparent substrate 130 after filling the ring-shaped groove 115.
In this embodiment, the microlenses 130 are regular hexagonal microlenses 130. The inner diameter of the inner ring of the annular groove 115 is larger than the outer diameter of the first hollow structure 191, so that the projection of the inner ring of the annular groove 115 on the first light shielding layer 190 completely falls on the corresponding first light shielding layer 190, and a gap is formed between the inner ring of the annular groove 115 and the edge of the first hollow structure 191.
The ring-shaped light shielding structure 170 may first partially shield the stray light with a large incident angle entering the transparent substrate 110. Therefore, the consistency of the definition of the image formed after the incident light penetrates through the micro lens 130 is further improved, and the light-gathering efficiency of the micro lens 130 is improved, namely, the imaging effect is improved. That is, the first light shielding layer 190 and the annular cylindrical light shielding structure 170 act together, so that the light condensing efficiency of the microlens 130 can be improved better, and the imaging effect can be improved.
Specifically, referring to fig. 9, L6 enters the micro lens and then enters the ring-shaped light-shielding structure 170, and is shielded by the ring-shaped light-shielding structure 170. The incident angle of the L6 is larger than that of the incident light having the smallest incident angle that the first light shielding layer 190 can shield. Incident light with an incident angle larger than L6 is sequentially blocked by the annular columnar light-blocking structure 170 and the first light-blocking layer 190, so that stray light with a large incident angle can be better blocked. Thereby further improving the uniformity of the sharpness of the image formed by the microlenses 130 and improving the light-gathering efficiency of the microlenses, i.e., improving the molding effect.
Optionally, the ring-shaped pillar light shielding structure 170 is an epoxy light shielding structure. The epoxy resin shading structure has a good light absorption effect. It is understood that, in another possible embodiment, the ring-shaped pillar-shaped light shielding structure 170 is not limited to the epoxy light shielding structure, and may be a black light shielding structure such as a titanium structure, a chromium structure, a silicon dioxide structure, or a silicon carbide structure.
In this embodiment, a surface of the microlens 130 attached to the transparent substrate 110 is a first attaching surface 131. The shape of the projection of the inner ring of the annular groove 115 on the first surface 111 is the same as the shape of the outer ring of the corresponding first abutting surface 131, each edge of the projection of the inner ring of the annular groove 115 on the first surface 111 is parallel to the edge of the corresponding side of the corresponding first abutting surface 131, and the sizes of the inner rings of the plurality of annular grooves 115 are the same. Therefore, the light condensing efficiency of the edge of the light condensing position corresponding to each microlens 130 is consistent, and the phenomenon that the definition of the pattern formed by the microlens assembly 500 is suddenly high or low is avoided, that is, the imaging effect of the microlens assembly 500 is improved.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, the annular groove 115 has a regular hexagonal annular column shape. I.e. the outer and inner rings of the annular groove 115 are of the same shape. It will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, the outer and inner rings of the annular groove 115 may also be shaped differently.
As shown in fig. 11, another embodiment of the present invention provides a microlens assembly 600, which is different from the microlens assembly 500 in that an annular groove 115 is formed on the first surface 111 of the transparent substrate 110. Likewise, the annular pillar-shaped light shielding structure 170 is filled in the annular groove 115. The first light shielding layer 190 and the annular columnar light shielding structure 170 work together to improve the light condensing efficiency of the microlens 130 and improve the imaging effect.
As shown in fig. 12, another embodiment of the present invention provides a microlens assembly 700, which is different from the microlens assembly 200 in that:
the second surface 113 of the transparent substrate 110 is provided with a relatively recessed region 114. The microlens assembly 700 also includes an embedded light blocking structure 160 filled in the relatively recessed region 114.
In addition, it can be understood that the first light-shielding layer 190 is located on a side of the embedded light-shielding structure 160 away from the microlenses 130, so that the outer diameter of the first hollow-out structure 191 is smaller than the inner diameter of the protrusion 1141.
The second light-shielding layer 150, the first light-shielding layer 190 and the embedded light-shielding structure 160 work together to better shield stray light with a large incident angle. Therefore, the consistency of the definition of the image formed after the incident light penetrates through the micro lens 130 is further improved, and the light-gathering efficiency of the micro lens 130 is improved, namely, the imaging effect is improved.
Specifically, referring to fig. 12, the incident light with an incident angle larger than L5 is sequentially shielded by the embedded light-shielding structure 160 and the first light-shielding layer 190, and the incident light with an incident angle larger than L4 is sequentially shielded by the second light-shielding layer 150, the embedded light-shielding structure 160 and the first light-shielding layer 190, so that the stray light with a large incident angle can be better shielded. Thereby further improving the uniformity of the sharpness of the image formed by the microlenses 130 and improving the light-gathering efficiency of the microlenses, i.e., improving the molding effect.
The specific arrangement of the embedded light shielding structure 160 refers to the arrangement of the embedded light shielding structure 160 in the microlens assembly 300, and is not described herein again.
Of course, in another possible embodiment, the embedded light-shielding junction may also be disposed on the first surface of the transparent substrate, which is not described herein again.
It is understood that the top views of micro-lens assembly 200, micro-lens assembly 300, micro-lens assembly 400, micro-lens assembly 500, micro-lens assembly 600, and micro-lens assembly 700 are all the same as the top view of micro-lens assembly 100.
It is understood that, in another possible embodiment, the second light shielding layer, the first light shielding layer and the annular cylindrical light shielding structure may be disposed at the same time, so that the second light shielding layer, the first light shielding layer and the annular cylindrical light shielding structure cooperate to better shield the parasitic light with a larger incident angle. Therefore, the consistency of the definition of an image formed after the incident light penetrates through the micro lens is further improved, the light condensation efficiency of the micro lens is improved, and the imaging effect is improved.
