Description of the Invention (I) Micro Lens are used in many advanced optical products, such as digital cameras, projectors and backlight boards of third-generation LCD monitors Or the reflective LCD used before the light plate, especially on the LCD backlight board, it can save more than half of the cost, because the traditional backlight board, you must add a layer of diffuser and two layers of light condensing sheet (3M company patented products), The light-condensing sheet accounts for more than 50% of the cost of the entire backlight module. In order to reduce the cost, the author has developed a method of making a lot of tiny lenses on the light guide plate and directly ejecting them to replace the traditional light-condensing sheet (such as a patent Application No. 87102474 front light panel for liquid crystal display) Because LIGA (Lithographice Palvanoformung and Abformung) technology is required for the production technology of micro lenses, a photoresist and exposure machine plus a clean room, yellow light room, pure water system, and wastewater treatment are required. And other facilities, the investment is very expensive. 'Usually small lenses are easier to make between 1μπι and 10μτη, which is easy to apply due to photoresist. Exposure is also easy, but the thicker the more difficult it is between 10 μm and 100 μm (the diameter of the micro lens used for the backlight is about 20 to 80 μm), so a thick film photoresist must be used, and exposure must be changed to Deep ultraviolet light or synchrotron X-ray can only be used, and because the exposure area is not large, it is generally within 8 " (Taiwan synchrotron radiation center can only achieve 6 inches at the maximum), if it is specially designed for 14 ”area Exposure equipment will cost huge exposure may cost hundreds of millions of Taiwan dollars, so the use of photoresist exposure and development method to produce micro lenses with a diameter of more than 20 μm, and a large area (14 '' or more), with the current equipment is really a In view of the above-mentioned difficulties, after many thoughts and experiments by the author, a new method for manufacturing microlenses was finally developed and the diameter of the microlenses was 20 μm to 5 μm It is also very easy to replace the photoresist with a thermoplastic organic material coating, and use laser light to replace the exposure machine, and directly remove unnecessary organic layers with laser light.

The process is also simpler. 4, investment equipment is also very cheap. This method requires a large area. As long as there is a precise X, Υ mobile platform and a laser machine. / 鲶 With the illustration to illustrate the manufacturing method of the micro lens of the present invention, please refer to: The first picture is a traditional method of making a micro lens. The second picture is a method of making a micro lens of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, firstly, a photoresist layer is applied on a flat glass substrate or a broken wafer substrate by spin coating (Spj ^ j coating), and then the photoresist is developed by exposure and development. The unnecessary photoresist is removed, and the remaining granular photoresist is heated to soften the photoresist. The relationship between surface shrinkage and surface tension will form a hemispherical shape, that is, it will become many micro hemispherical shapes. The metal layer on the steamed ore is conductive to facilitate the formation of the latter electric pound mold, and finally, the transparent micro lens group is shot by using an electroforming mold and an injection molding machine. The "manufacturing method of the micro lens" of the present invention is shown in Fig. 2. First, a thermoplastic organic material (such as acrylic glue, photoresist liquid) is attached to a flat substrate (glass substrate) by spin coating or transfer coating. Or silicon wafer), and then use laser light (UV laser or infrared laser can be used, but the focus of the UV laser can be smaller). The thermoplastic organic material layer is engraved. The area hit by the laser light will vaporize and glow. Finally, the remaining granular thermoplastic organic material is subjected to a heating treatment. Due to surface tension and shrinkage, the surface of the granular thermoplastic organic material will form a spheroidization phenomenon, as shown in the first photo, and then a metal conductive layer is deposited by evaporation. That is, the electroformed mold is formed, and finally the microformed lens is formed by cooperating with the electroformed mold to form a plow.

Thermosetting materials cannot be used. The spherical surface (that is, the lens function) can be achieved during the heating process. There are many thermoplastic materials on the market, such as coatings, glues, and sols (banana oil rosin glue) All are available, of course, including photoresist materials, but the photoresist materials used in the method of the present invention are a bit expensive and are directly destroyed by laser light, not just exposure. The technology of the present invention is different from traditional methods. In addition, for large-area coating, the spin coating method may not be used, and the adhesive film bonding method may be used. The adhesive film bonding area can be made as large as 40 inches or more suitable for rear projection TV projection panels ( There are many tiny lens designs inside), thermoplastic organic materials for dry film can be made of PE, PP, thermosol film and other materials. The main purpose of the production method of creating the micro lens is to design the light guide plate of the backlight module of the liquid crystal display to save costs and increase the brightness (the diffuser and the condenser are not needed, and the micro lens has the function of condensing to improve the brightness). Can also be designed as a front light plate (reflective LQD light source).
