The lens material layer 16 may be epoxy resin, optical glue, acrylic material (4) ymethylmethacrylates, PMMAs), polyfluorene-based plastic materials (p〇iyUrethanes, pus), and stone enamel-based materials (p〇lydimethylsil〇xane). , PDMS) or other thermally hardened or photohardened light transmissive materials. As shown in Fig. 3, an imprint mold 18 is provided, comprising a lens shaping zone 2, as shown in Fig. 4, when the embossing process is performed, the lens shaping zone of the embossing die 18 is 〇 The microlens material layer 16 is contacted such that the liquid microlens material layer 16 forms a transitional microlens structure 22 along with the shape of the lens shaping zone 20. The lens shaping zone 20 on the embossing die 18 can be convex or concave or otherwise miscellaneous depending on the needs of the microlens. Then, a curing treatment is performed to cure the transition microlens structure 22, and the curing process according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, for example, utilizes 365 nm ultraviolet radiation to illuminate the transition microlens junction 201107794 for about 10 seconds, as shown in FIG. After the transition microlens structure π is solidified, the -microlens 24 is formed, after which the imprinting mold 18 is removed. In addition, the first bank material layer 12 can be selectively removed after the design is completed. Figure 7 is a top plan view of a substrate according to another embodiment of the present invention. According to another embodiment of the present invention, in the exposure-process, in addition to forming the first bank material layer η, it is also possible to simultaneously contact the second-bank material (2). For example, as shown in FIG. 7 , a photoresist-level layered substrate 1G may be formed first, and after performing the exposure process, a portion of the photoresist layer is removed to expose the lens predetermined area A and the partial touch area B. And causing, the remaining photoresists to form a first banknote i2 and a second bank material on the surrounding area, respectively, as the banknote pattern 50 for the microlens process.

Similarly, the second pattern ΐ2ι may also be an ellipse, a rectangle, or a third (4), hexagons or other graphics. It is worth noting that a groove 26' is formed between the first bank material layer 12 and the second bank material layer 121. When the embossing process is performed, the lens shaping region of the embossing die 18 contacts the microlens. The material layer 16 and the microlens material that overflows the predetermined area A of the microlens can flow into the groove %. Thus, there is no problem that the adhesive remains between the microlenses 24. Likewise, after completion of the microlens 24, the first bank material layer 12 and the second bank material layer 121 may be selectively removed.曰201107794 Although only the first bank material layer 12 and the second bank material layer are shown in Fig. 7, 121 is used as the bank pattern 5 本 of the microlens process of the present invention, but is not limited thereto. . The present invention can also form a plurality of bank material layers which surround the predetermined area A of the microlenses and form a plurality of grooves to provide more space for accommodating excess adhesive. Figure 8 is a side elevational view of another embodiment of the present invention in accordance with Figure 7, wherein a microlens structure 200 includes a substrate 10, a first bank material layer 12 covering the substrate 1 and Exposing the microlens predetermined region a, a microlens 24 is formed in the micromirror predetermined region A, and a second bank material layer 121 surrounds the first bank material layer 12' and in the first bank material layer 12 and the second A groove 26 is formed between the bank material layers 121. The first bank material layer 12 and the second bank material layer 121 may each be a photoresist, and the first bank material layer 12 preferably has a thickness between 〇·ι to 〇.2, and the second bank material The thickness of layer 121 is preferably between 〇.1 and 〇.2. The present invention utilizes the bank material layers 12, 121 to surround the predetermined area a of the microlens, and defines the liquid microlens material layer 16 in the range of the predetermined area A of the microlens, so that the microlens is in the mouth glue or the point wins. The coating amount of the material layer 16 is relatively easy to control, and the amount of use of the microlens material layer can be saved, and the present invention utilizes the bank material layers 12, 121. The grooves are formed so that the excess microlens material can flow into the concave during imprinting. In the slot 26. Thus, after the completion of the microlens 24, no sticking of the adhesive occurs between the microlenses 24. The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the invention is modified by the scope of the invention. [Simple description of the map]
