[Prior Art] The level of microlens applications is quite wide, especially for microlens arrays, which play an important role in optical communication, high-speed photography, or displays; in addition, zoomable microlenses in digital cameras and microscopes, optics The read and write heads are quite important. The mirrors or lenses in traditional optical components do not have the function of zooming. Most of them rely on mechanisms such as gears and sliders to assist the zoom, which not only requires the combination of the large components into a complex structure. , reducing the service life and occupying space. In view of this, the development of the zoomable microlens module is also a hot topic in recent years. The following is a description of the manufacturing methods of several kinds of microlenses: The re-flow method uses the first technology of photoresist heating. The technology is to use the microelectromechanical technology to make microlenses, which are made on the substrate. The photoresist or the polymer material defines a cylinder, and then the substrate is heated to a photoresist or glass transition temperature (Tg) of the polymer material to make the cylinder reflow. Due to the surface tension, the cylindrical surface reflows into an aspherical ball. In the form of a microlens array, it is limited by the fact that the material cannot make a lens of a large size range, and there is also a problem that process stability and light transmittance are not added. : The other is a prior art that utilizes double-layer photoresist heating. The main spirit of the technology is to use the surface energy of two layers of polymer materials to drive the temperature to the temperature of two molecules of glass transition temperature ((JlaSS Du (10) also 丨 (10) temperature, Tg) point, the photoresist material It is softened by heat, and it has a cohesive force and surface tension energy, so it will form a sphere shape. It is still produced by means of photolithography to define the first layer of photoresist after definition. The second layer of photoresist is used, and its volume is calculated as the volume of heating with a single layer of photoresist. Finally, 1278659 long-time high-temperature heating drives the polymer material to soften and deform. The pot is disadvantageous and is produced under the condition of long temperature. No, , :, hot press molding, dry %; thousands of suction is not easy. - The prior art using hot stamping is based on pressing microlens array; it uses on-board electricity, die; ^^ square 2 ί , not:=ί;;:Precision control is not easy, and process integration does not drive the force to produce micro-transparent shovel - seed application - external force changes the surface tension energy change mechanism to the micro-lens prior art, its machine side A person can apply m as an electrode, such as an electrode. By arranging a plurality of electrodes, a change in the surface tension energy is generated to drive the body's external force including electro-mechanical (EleetrGwetting), thermal and optical means.__hii之能# After moving the particles, the above-mentioned related power source, after adjusting the liquid to a fixed curvature, and then giving an appropriate energy to solidify the liquid stagnating on the surface of the fixed substrate to complete the microlens. This method can move the liquid. To the positioning, but the path of the movement is limited by the design and layout of the electrode, not only the space for the plane to move, but also the power supply that affects the composition of the liquid. The other is to use the special water characteristic of the surface tension to complete the microlens. Prior art of the array, the main technique is to immerse the substrate in the liquid before the surface of the substrate is defined on the substrate, and use the angle, speed and time of the substrate to control the curvature of the microlens. Although this method can produce a large number of microlenses, it is not easy to control the control due to too many control factors. Dispensing Technology Street is a technique that uses dispensing. Using a syringe, the liquid is filled in the syringe, and an external force is applied to inject the liquid onto the substrate to form a microlens. However, if the lens is to be formed into an array, a two-axis ZYX is often required. Platform control, precise control of the position of the liquid. 1278659 In addition, the other method is to use the surface to control the liquid droplet contact method. When the liquid stagnates on a solid surface, the angle of contact with the surface roughness changes. Change, however, this method still does not solve the shortcomings of requiring other auxiliary equipment to position the liquid. / Therefore, in the field of microlens manufacturing techniques and methods, it is extremely necessary. The helmet must be externally controlled and precisely controlled. Microlens positioning and manufacturing ", process, and can achieve the purpose of record. w 万 ▲ 此 此 【 发明 发明 发明 为 为 为 为 为 为 为 为 为 为 为 为 为 为 为 为 为 为 为 为 为 为 为 为 为 为 为 为 为 为 为 为 为 : : : : : : : : : : : : The surface energy gradient changes to move on the substrate, and (3) hardens the liquid to become a microlens.

If the liquid droplets are applied to the interface of two surfaces with different water repellents > ^ surface 1278659, the surface with high water repellency is a super water repellent surface due to the pressure between the liquid droplets on the surface of the super water repellent and the surrounding air. The pressure difference between the liquid bead and the surrounding air on the surface of the water repellent is such that there is a net pressure difference inside the liquid bead to drive the liquid bead to move in a direction with a smaller contact angle, that is, the liquid bead moves from the surface of the super-repellent water to the surface of the water repellent . For a stationary droplet to produce motion, it is necessary to overcome the hysteretic force between the droplet and the solid surface: corpse = ~./.(c〇s4 -COS&) Equation (2) Equation (2) / is a characteristic length And the force and the eve are respectively representing the forward and backward contact angles of the droplets. From the equations (1) and (7), when the net pressure difference of the driving is greater than the hysteresis force, the droplets spontaneously generate a motion phenomenon. The liquid bead which produces a different distribution density on the water repellent surface by the micro-process has a '1' which shifts to the water-repellent weight reduction. Therefore, it is possible to achieve the liquid by the surface crucible S without any additional power. Bead manipulation 0, so the present invention utilizes surface changes with surface energy changes to make liquid, transfer, position and curvature control of the microlens. When the liquid stagnates on the stagnation surface, its surface has a micronano surface structure in which the structure can precisely control the curvature of the liquid placed on the surface. First, a description will be given of the design of the self-position and self-transportations of the microlens of the present invention: • 凊, Figure 1a is a perspective view of the self-tuning microlens of the present invention: What is not revealed by the factory is that the micro-transparent, brother = liquid 110 has been self-tuned and positioned by the method of the present invention, and it can be seen that the liquid 110 is already in the stagnant zone 2〇1 to complete the positioning. - Referring to FIG. 1b, the spontaneous movement of the microlens liquid 110 of the present invention is a forced movement surface m on a substrate 106, and a stagnant zone 201 is disposed on the liquid moving surface ill. a first surface energy region 102 and a symmetric first surface energy region 1〇21 are sequentially disposed from the stagnation region 2〇1, and a second surface energy region 103 is symmetrically symmetrical to the second surface energy region, The three surface energy regions 1G4 and a pair of ί, two surface energy regions 1041, a fourth surface energy region 105, and a symmetrical fourth surface germanium region 1051. Wherein the first surface energy region 1〇2 and the symmetric first surface energy region 1〇21 11 1278659 have the same surface energy and are symmetrical in position, similar to the second, third and fourth surface energy regions 103, 104, 105 and symmetry The first, second, third, and fourth surface energy regions are brain, Li, 1051 〇* .... • . · · . Please continue to refer to ® lb. The principle of this month is to use the aforementioned physical phenomena and In order to make the liquid 110 have a tilt toward the surface where the surface energy is high, in order to enable the liquid 110 to move to the desired position, that is, the stagnant zone 201', the surface energy zones are set from the outside to the inside. Gradually increasing, that is, the first region 105 has the lowest surface energy, and the third surface energy region 1〇4 is higher toward the third surface energy region 1G4, and the liquid 110 square region moves ' By analogy, the liquid u° moves by moving the 110* virtual fourth "ΐίΛ stagnation zone 2〇1 and staying on it after "^. The liquid boundary is defined by the edge of the contact surface of the third surface energy region 104 defining the liquid moving boundary 107, 1071. In addition, the overall folder is amazed, the awning rides the private goods for the young (symmetric first - surface energy 11 to the four surface energy area and / m timing, the outermost area will have the lowest age (super water-repellent area), self Ii iiTr: 卜 围 has a higher surface energy (relative to the water-repellent zone) '* microlens and empty. 卩疋 New 11G can vary the range of curvature, that is, liquid 110 in addition to the single bead positioning of the present invention.

When the liquid 110 reaches the liquid stagnant zone 2〇1, the regulation of the morphology can be completed by the design of the stagnant zone 201. The surface energy of the liquid moving surface 11 变化 can be changed by using a yellow lithography process, or by the characteristics of the material itself, and the composite material can be applied to the same surface to produce a gradient energy change.

At right angles, the liquid 110 exhibits a first curvature blue. Please refer to Figure 2b for a schematic diagram of the results of the liquid in the t-zone. When the surface of the substrate has a surface energy, that is, has a middle surface energy stagnant zone 2 〇 lb, the medium surface energy contact angle 2G5b formed by the liquid 11 〇 and the base ^ 1 〇 6 is as shown in the figure, which is obviously greater than two The liquid 110 also exhibits a second curvature. Please refer to Figure 2e, which is a schematic diagram of the filament of the low surface ship. The surface of the t substrate has a silk surface stagnation zone 2Gle, that is, the water repellency is high, and the medium surface energy contact angle formed by the body H) 6 is as shown in the figure & = 180 degrees, and the liquid 110 And presents a third curvature test. In addition, in order to increase the optical performance of the microlens, it is necessary to make changes in the same way. One of the ways is to design the microlens to have double-sided crusting, and the way to achieve this effect is The stagnation zone 2G1 is designed to have optical = such that when the liquid 11G is obtained, a (four) plane optical effect is passed through the 13 1278659 mirror. - Refer to Figure 3a, which is a schematic view of the structure of the stagnation zone of the present invention. Wherein the stagnant zone 201 "structure 2G2 having a micro-level or a nano-scale, as described above, the t-liquid moving surface 111 is a surface between a plurality of surface energy regions (numbers 102 to 105). The difference can be used to achieve the effect of liquid self-movement, and the soil structure can be two or two in the same plane except for the water repellency of the material itself. In the implementation of Fig. 3a of the present invention, the structure is utilized, 2 2 is the first material and the air material is formed as the second material on the same plane, and the liquid 110 is manipulated. In order to arrange the micro-nano structure 2〇2 and the air to be spaced apart, the structure 202 is formed and convex. Out of the substrate 106, there is air 204 in each structure and body. The air is the material with the highest water repellency, so the stagnation zone 201 becomes a low surface energy surface of 2 〇 3, and With a hollow knot Τ Π gas, when the liquid 11G is driven to the stop surface 201 without power, it will be controlled by the design of the stagnation surface 2 〇 1. If the substrate 106 is a light transmissive When the material is used, it can be better read through the liquid moving surface 111. To achieve the precise position, directly use the upper and lower light sources. If the stagnation surface 2 = 1 - plane mirror, when the liquid 11 〇 is hardened to become a microlens (such as convexity, this is the composite optical element with convex lens and plane mirror). Next, the substrate manufacturing method of the present invention is described. By using the micro-machine (MEMS) process technology, a large number of substrates 1 〇 6 can be produced. By using the jianren, a large amount of the substrate can be reproduced. The hot pressing or shooting (four) method is completed, and the production of the mold core can be completed by electroforming or by using a stone wafer.
