Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing an optical sheet, and more particularly, to a method for manufacturing an optical sheet having a microlens pattern.
At present, the demand for the production of microstructures having a three-dimensional shape is rapidly increasing, and the construction of complex shapes having vertical cross sections including curved surfaces, such as a circle or an ellipse, as well as a basic structure having a rectangular vertical cross section. There is a lot of research being done. As a method for manufacturing a microstructure having a three-dimensional shape, a method of forming a structure using a polymer pattern having a three-dimensional shape or using a micromachining technique is mainly used.
As a representative method for forming a polymer pattern having a three-dimensional shape, the stereo lithography process is actively researched around the world, and a number of patents for the stereo lithography itself and its application are registered (Korean Patent No. 0183038, No. 0257033, No.0257034, No.0513646, U.S. Patent No.6777170, No.6833234). However, the stereolithography process has been used in limited research fields because of the costly and time-consuming fatal disadvantages of using expensive equipment.
In order to solve the fatal drawback of the stereo lithography process, the expensive equipment usage and the long time-consuming problem, the incline lithography (US Pat. ) Has been proposed and research has been conducted.
Meanwhile, as a micromachining technique for manufacturing a microstructure having a three-dimensional shape, a method of controlling an internal stress of a material for manufacturing a curved electrode used for an optical micro shutter or the like (US Patent No. 5233459, No.6829399, No. 6888142, No. 6972889) are representative. It has the advantage of effectively controlling the opening and closing of the light by using the curved electrode having a large deformation, but it is difficult to uniformly control the internal stress of the material, and it is bent in all directions due to the physical property that is bent by the internal stress of the material. There is a problem in implementing reproducibility.
In addition, a method of reflowing a photoresist is used for fabricating microlenses. The microlenses that control the direction of light travel have a continuous curved surface and form a rectangular photoresist at the position where the lens is to be formed to satisfy the requirement that the surface should be smooth, and then reshape by applying heat. Although a method of manufacturing microlenses has been proposed, there is a problem in that deformation of the photoresist lens is easily caused by heat and chemicals.
In order to mass produce microlens arrays, injection molding is typically used to harden plastic materials under high temperature and high pressure conditions using a metal microlens array stamper. . Forming a microlens array stamper
(F. Czerwinski, et. Al., "Texture instability in Ni electrodeposits applied in optical disk technology", Journal of Materials Science, Vol. 35, pp. 331-335). , 2000) or a method of transferring a positively formed positive photoresist mold twice (N. Lee, et. Al.,
"Fabrication of metallic nano-stamper and replication of nano-patterned substrate for patterned media", Nanotechnologies, Vol. 15, pp. 901-906, 2004) is typically used, but the method of etching the metal does not have a uniform shape, and the method of transferring the positively formed positive photoresist mold twice has several problems.
In the case of such a stamper method, it is difficult to process the stamper mold with metal as described above, which makes the manufacturing process of the stamper itself difficult, and the longer the area, the longer the manufacturing time, the more difficult it is to manufacture a stamper mold having a uniform thickness, and the handling process. There is a problem that can not be restored when folded or modified in the.
Thus, there is a method in which the molding mold is in the form of a film, that is, a method of manufacturing a film having a micropattern in a soft mold method, which is a molding mold in the form of a film having a pattern that is inverse to the desired micropattern, and the fine to be manufactured. The base film of the film having the pattern is coalesced, and the curable resin crude liquid is injected into the molding mold prior to the coalescence, and then the base film is transferred to the base film to transfer the pattern and harden to form a film having a fine pattern.
When using a molding mold in the form of a film, the molding mold can be easily handled, yield can be improved, manufacturing cost can be reduced, and the manufacturing pattern can be advantageously less constrained.
However, since the reversed phase of the desired pattern is transferred to the base film by collectively injecting the curable resin crude liquid into the mold in which the pattern is engraved, there is a problem in that bubbles are formed at the apex part of the pattern in a specific pattern. This problem leads to the defect of the film to be finally obtained and impairs the optical properties.
One embodiment of the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and provides a method of manufacturing an optical sheet that can reduce the defect in the shape of the transferred pattern in manufacturing an optical sheet having a microlens pattern using a molding mold in the form of a film. I would like to.

In the manufacturing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, the pre-coating step is to pass the molding mold through a plurality of coating stages continuously arranged in the conveying direction of the molding mold step by step to coat the curable resin crude liquid in the pattern of the molding mold At the same time, it may be carried out by a method of degassing so that no air remains between the curable resin and the molding mold.

In the manufacturing method of the optical sheet according to the embodiment of the present invention, the pre-coating process may be performed by a method for filling the curable resin crude liquid to 70 to 150% of the depth of the molding mold pattern.
Preferably in terms of easy bubble removal and increase the production rate, as the curable resin crude liquid may be used having a viscosity of 30 to 2000cps.
In the method of manufacturing the optical sheet according to the embodiment of the present invention, the curable resin crude liquid may include a thermosetting resin or an ultraviolet curable resin.
In the method for manufacturing an optical sheet according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is preferable in terms of ease of transfer of a pattern from a molding mold, the molding mold in the form of a film may be a release surface of a patterned surface.
