Description
The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a mold for manufacturing a liquid lens array.
There are a variety of ways to manufacture panels with an array of chambers (hollow cylinders, holes) that make up an electro-wetted liquid lens array.
In the case of an electro-wetted liquid lens, the precision and roughness factor of the vertical wall of the chamber greatly affects the quality of the lens. When the height of the partition wall of the chamber is 100um or less, it can be manufactured precisely by an optical lithography method. However, it is disadvantageous in that the manufacturing cost is high due to the complexity of the manufacturing process and it is not suitable for mass production.
When the opening size of the chamber is 5 mm or more, it is possible to manufacture chambers by precision machining such as laser drilling, but it has a limitation in reducing the thickness of the partition wall separating the chamber and the chamber, so that the fill factor I have a falling problem.
On the other hand, a method of taking out a panel by using a mold for mass production of a low cost chamber array panel is being studied. LIGA (LIthographie Galvanoform Abformtechnik) process using the above-mentioned precision machining and lithography method is used for the production of a mold, but it has a disadvantage that it is difficult to manufacture a mold for a chamber having a bulkhead height of 100um or more in the LIGA process.
Further, in the case of precision machining, the thickness of the partition wall separating the chamber opening and the opening is limited, and the roughness of the chamber vertical wall surface can not be precisely controlled.

The method may further include grinding both longitudinal sides of the mold slice between the step of producing the mold slice and the step of producing the sealing layer.
In addition, the step of forming the mold base material may include: aligning the mold rod on a jig sheet; Attaching the mold rod to the jig sheet using the curing agent to produce a shape sheet; And forming the mold base material by laminating one or more of the shape sheets.
Further, one or more U-shaped grooves are formed on one side of the jig sheet, and the shape bar is aligned on the groove and attached to the jig sheet.
The curing agent is the same as the material of the jig sheet, and is dissolved in the solvent other than the shape bar.
Further, the shape bar is a metal, and the curing agent and the zigzate are UV oligomers.
In addition, the mold sheet is a mold sheet made of a material having high adhesiveness to the shape bar.
Further, in the step of forming the mold base material by laminating one or more of the shape sheets, the shape sheet is adhered using an adhesive in the middle of lamination of the shape sheet, and the adhesive is made of a material which melts in the solvent for melting the curing agent do.
In addition, the step of forming the mold base material may include aligning the at least one mold rod into a space; And filling the void space between the mold halves with the curing agent to cure the mold to produce the mold base agent.
According to the present invention, a liquid lens array of an electrowetting type can be mass-produced by a simple method, thereby enabling applications such as a 3D display and a light field camera to be activated.
