  • the function of the collimating device is mainly to collimate and filter the diffused light at a single point pixel of the image, and the normal collimated light or light (signal) that is close to collimation can be smoothly transmitted to At the corresponding photoelectric sensor, the large-angle light (noise) that deviates from the normal direction can only seldom or even not enter the non-corresponding photoelectric sensor, so the signal-to-noise ratio is enhanced.

一种准直膜、一种减干涉准直膜及其制备方法、一种贴合型准直膜及一种图像识别模组 技术领域
本发明属于图像识别领域,尤其涉及一种准直膜、一种减干涉准直膜及其制备方法、一种贴合型准直膜、及一种图像识别模组。
背景技术
在图像识别领域,常用的图像传感器如CMOS型或photo-TFT型,传感器模组中一般都含有准直器件,用以加强信噪比,提高识别率,减少串扰。准直器件的功能(如图1所示)主要是对图像单点像素处的漫射光进行准直过滤,形成的法向的准直光或接近准直的光(信号),可以顺利传输到相应光电感应器处,而偏离法向的大角度光(噪音)只能极少地甚至无法进入非对应的光电感应器处,由此信噪比得以加强。
准直器件通常都具有顶部准直结构层和底部准直结构层:首先,顶层和底层双层准直结构需要精确对位,否则会大大降低信号光的强度(如图2所示);其次,需增加顶层(入光)准直结构和底层(出光)准直结构之间距离,或缩小微结构尺寸(如图3所示),以提高整体长径比,否则会增加串扰光的透过。
传统的准直器件一般为刚性的准直片,如光纤集束切片,或是玻璃基两侧形成的微透镜(Microlens)、准直光阑等,这类刚性准直片普遍需保持较高的厚度,一方面用以保持长径比,一方面用以保持其机械性能,防止在应用环境中破碎。然而即便如此,这类刚性准直片仍然无法满足大尺寸的图像识别模组的应用。特别是还需要压缩整体厚度的应用场合(如超薄大屏手机),它将变得更脆,更易碎,生产良率更低,不论是性能,还是成本都无法满足需求。另外显而易见的是,此类刚性准直片更不可能在柔性图像识别模组中。
除了光纤集束类的准直片(顶层和底层准直结构本就对齐),绝大多数刚性准直片均需要完成两层准直结构(准直光阑)的对位。然而,依次制备的两层结构要进行高精度对位,具有相当大的难度:首先,需要非常复杂、昂贵的双轴定位设备,定位过程繁琐、耗时,若准直结构尺度小于50μm(图像精度DPI>508),点阵规模必会达到每平米上亿个点,生 产效率极其低下;其次,这种对位方式实际上精度并不高,特别是准直结构的尺寸缩小,数量增加时,累积误差会变得愈发明显,导致信号光强度下降,而频繁地原点校正也将变得更加费时。
综上,传统刚性准直片存在厚度高,厚度低的情况下易碎、性能差,两层准直结构(准直光阑)的对位难、良率低、产能低的问题,难以在大尺寸、超薄、柔性的图像识别领域中应用。

本发明还提供所述准直膜的制备方法,所述的准直孔采用微聚焦法打孔。
进一步的,所述制备方法中,使激光垂直照射准直透镜层,激光通过准直透镜层的微透镜聚焦,聚焦形成的光斑落在准直孔层上打出准直孔。通过该法制备的中,所述准直孔阵列与微透镜阵列的分布完全一致,任意准直孔的圆心均在相应微透镜的主光轴上。
进一步的,所述制备方法包括下述步骤:
(1)采用透镜阵列(凹)模具,将准直透镜层在柔性基体层上表面成型(可采用光固化、热固化、热压成型等方式),形成透镜阵列(凸);
(2)采用湿法/干法涂布技术,在基体层下表面涂上/镀上遮光介质;
(3)采用大面积平顶激光(高斯波束整形后的平行激光),以适当的低能量垂直照射微透镜阵列,通过每一个微透镜后均聚焦在遮光介质(即微聚焦法),并打出相应准直孔,产生相同分布的准直孔阵列,形成准直孔层。
进一步的,所述微聚焦法包含以下特征:
(1)采用波束整形后的平顶激光作为激光源,整形后辐照面积变大,能量密度降低;
(2)必须从正面照射,较低能量密度,通过微透镜自身的微聚焦过程集中能量,实现高能量密度;
(3)微聚焦的光斑在合理范围内要足够小,焦点位置需设计在PET下表面或更深处,让能量集中于遮光层(遮光介质);
(4)对微透镜层普适性高,不规整微透镜层,如透镜排列精度、形状精度较差、间距不均甚至无序时,同样适用。
进一步的,所述微聚焦法的过程(如图4所示)分为四个基本步骤:(a)平顶激光(5)以合适的能量(过高孔太大,甚至烧到基体,过低,打不穿孔),打在准直膜半成品的准直透镜层(41),微透镜(41A)实现微聚焦,肉厚(41B)实现光斑面积的预缩小,最终激 光穿过基体层(42),在遮光介质(43A)上聚焦成极小的光斑,实现能量的高度集中;(b)由于遮光介质对光线的吸收,能量瞬间累积导致光斑位置的遮光介质被瞬间烧穿,并产生一些灰分,实际上前两步的过程仅需要微秒级别,非常迅速;(c)灰分被抽走后,露出准直孔(43B),这些准直孔本就在微透镜主光轴(40)上,因此和微透镜(41A)高度对齐,避免了费时的对位过程,此时本发明的准直膜(4)已经是成品,包含完整的结构——准直透镜层(41)、基体层(42)、准直孔层(43);(d)准直膜(4)此时已满足法向或接近法向的准直光高透过,在线生产时可以用普通强度的检验光源(如白光、绿光、三波灯)从微透镜面照射,光会从准直孔透出,使背面可以观察到透光孔阵列图像,并可以量化透过的光强,以此来检验打孔的品质,该过程可以轻易地在流水线上实现自动检测,特定位置抽检捕捉得到地图像也可以进行数据化分析(孔的大小、间距、阵列形态等)。
相比本发明提供的微聚焦法打孔,传统的打孔方式会有较大的局限性(如图5所示):(a)高斯激光(7),通过激光头的透镜组聚焦,从半成品背面方向打在遮光介质(43A)上;(b)遮光层不同位置被依次烧穿,并产生一些灰分;(c)当灰分抽走,便露出了准直孔。可以看到,整个对位过程需定位原点O(或称Mark点),正面的CCD(Charge Coupled Device电荷耦合器件)高清摄像头对准透镜光心,背面的激光头会与正面CCD镜头联动,寻找到相应准直孔位置,从而计算出第一点与位置的初始位移量(矢量或坐标差值),这个初始定位过程是非常耗时且复杂的,对设备要求也较高;然后,依据初始位移量和点间位移量即可计算定位出所有点位置,依次打出2~n个点,这个过程可以虽然可以利用振镜组缩短时间,然而n不可以设置太大,否则累积误差必然超过1μm,甚至会更大,特别是振镜会导致角度倾斜,光斑变大变形,误差累积越来越快;最后,当误差累积到不可接受时,需退回原点O,并重新寻找第一个点,即重复初始定位过程。纵观整个过程,虽然采用振镜组缩短时间,但由于n不可太大,需要频繁进行初始定位过程,因此导致该种方法极为耗时、复杂又依赖设备,打孔过程不仅成本高而且精度低。
进一步的,传统打孔方法的局限性还不止如此:上述定位第一个点,计算2~n的点的过程需要有一个前提条件,那就是微透镜的间距是完全准确的;事实上一方面,微透镜的模具也是通过激光打孔制备出来,必然会有误差,因此传统方式的对位误差会进一步增大,特别是模具精度并不那么高时;另一方面,有些特殊模具,所制备的不规整微透镜层,其微透镜的排列精度、形状精度较差,或设计的间距本就不均甚至无序。因此传统过程,变相又增加了微透镜层的模具精度和制备成本,导致整个准直膜成本非常高,更不用说来实现不规则微透镜层的对位打孔(而本发明的微聚焦法可以轻松实现)。
应当注意,微透镜阵列成型方式应根据透明聚合物种类和应用场合进行选择,本发明 不做优选;遮光介质的涂布方式应根据遮光介质的种类进行选择,有机涂料需选择湿法涂布方式,无机镀层需选择干法涂布(即物理气相沉积)方式。
应当注意,本发明提供的准直膜制备方法,适用于片材的生产,也适用于卷材的生产。
该准直膜可以作为柔性准直器件用于图像传感器模组。该准直膜能对图像单点像素处的漫射光进行一定程度的准直过滤,形成法向小波束光信号,并将其传输到相应光电感应器处,特别适用于大尺寸、超薄、甚至柔性的图像识别模组中。
与现有技术相比,本发明提供的准直膜,采用了厚度为10~50μm的聚合物薄膜作为柔性基体层,实现了准直器件的柔性、超薄、大尺寸化,特别适用于大尺寸、超薄、甚至柔性的图像识别模组中。
与现有技术相比,本发明提供的准直膜,采用微聚焦法打孔,所述准直孔阵列与微透镜阵列的分布完全一致,每一个准直孔的圆心均在相应微透镜的主光轴上,一对一高精度对准,对位偏差<1μm,不仅大大提高信号光的透过,允许准直结构进一步缩小(如微透镜和准直孔同步缩小)以减少串扰,提高了准直膜的信噪比,而且大大提高了生产效率,降低了成本。
与现有技术相比,本发明提供的准直膜只包括一层准直孔层,根本上解决了两层准直光阑相互之间对位难的问题,且,厚度低,韧性好、不易碎,采用微聚焦法制备得到的准直孔的圆心在相应微透镜的主光轴上、准直孔与相应微透镜对位精确。本发明提供的准直膜的制备方法易于操作,能够大量生产,提高了生产良率。本发明提供的准直膜的性能优异,能通过准直光,过滤漫射光。本发明提供的准直膜可应用于大尺寸、超薄的图像识别模组中,使大尺寸、超薄、甚至柔性的图像识别模组的量产性大大提高,当应用于手机(OLED屏)等消费类电子产品的指纹解锁方案时,因其市场需求极大,且对超薄、大屏、柔性等特性有更高追求,本发明的准直膜优势明显。
此外,有序分布的准直结构(指准直透镜层的微透镜阵列为有序排布)在实际应用中可以满足基本的图像识别要求,但存在因规整性过高产生的干涉条纹,如图11a所示。因此,有必要把准直结构优化为无序分布,破坏规整性,减弱干涉条纹,如图11b所示,以进一步提高图像识别准确率(识别率)。
本发明提供的减干涉准直膜的准直透镜层的微透镜阵列为无序排布,由于采用了微聚焦打孔方式,使得准直孔层的准直孔阵列与微透镜阵列完全一致,不仅保持了无序分布的特点,还维持了高精度的同轴对位,是传统打孔方式始终无法实现的。所述无序微透镜阵列准直膜能破坏有序微透镜阵列的规整性,减弱因规整性导致的干涉条纹(如图11b所示),以进一步提高本发明提供的准直膜的图像识别准确率(识别率)。
所述无序阵列准直膜(减干涉准直膜)的准直透镜阵列与准直孔阵列均为无序阵列,且微透镜紧密排列互相交叠(如图12所示,任意三个互相交叠的微透镜的主光轴坐标连接成普通三角形(不是正三角形))。在减干涉准直膜(无序准直膜)中,P的取值范围为5~55μm,所述互相交叠的两个微透镜的主光轴间距P在一定取值范围内无序变化,相邻主光轴间距P的变化量为A(P的取值范围中最高值与最低值的差),相邻主光轴间距P的中值为Pm(P的取值范围中最高值与最低值的平均值),则Pm-0.5A≤P≤Pm+0.5A;中值Pm选自10~50μm,优选为15~30μm,进一步优选为18~25μm,主光轴间距P的变化量A选自1~10μm,优选为2~6μm。

在实施例81-86中,所述准直膜中准直透镜阵列与准直孔阵列均为无序阵列,且微透镜紧密排列互相交叠(如图12所示,任意三个互相交叠的微透镜的主光轴坐标连接成普通三角形(不是正三角形)。所述互相交叠的两个微透镜的主光轴间距P在一定取值范围(Pm±0.5A)内无序变化。所述准直透镜层41的材质为PMMA,柔性基体层42的材质为PET,准直孔层43的遮光介质43A为无机镀层碳化钛,所述准直膜采用微透镜打孔方式打出准直孔43B,其他各项参数如下:
P为Pm±0.5A,Pm为30μm,A为1-10μm,R为20.6μm,H为27.4μm,n1为1.5;
T为25μm,n2为1.65,D为3.1μm;
t为2.0μm,□为4.0μm。进一步的,偏差Δ为0.81μm。
与现有技术相比,本发明提供的减干涉准直膜只包括一层准直孔层,根本上解决了两层准直光阑相互之间对位难的问题,且,厚度低,韧性好、不易碎,采用微聚焦法制备得到的准直孔的圆心在相应微透镜的主光轴上、准直孔与相应微透镜对位精确。本发明提供的减干涉准直膜的制备方法易于操作,能够大量生产,提高了生产良率。本发明提供的减干涉准直膜的性能优异,能通过准直光,过滤漫射光,且光干涉现象减轻。本发明提供的减干涉准直膜可应用于大尺寸、超薄的图像识别模组中,使大尺寸、超薄、甚至柔性的图像识别模组的量产性大大提高,当应用于手机(OLED屏)等消费类电子产品的指纹解锁方案时,因其市场需求极大,且对超薄、大屏、柔性等特性有更高追求,本发明的减干涉准直膜优势明显。
另一方面,本发明提供一种贴合型准直膜,所述贴合型准直膜包括贴合胶层和本发明所述的减干涉准直膜;所述贴合胶层与减干涉准直膜中的准直孔层贴合在一起。
进一步的,所述贴合胶层选自固态光学透明胶、高透光率压敏胶或透明热熔胶中的一种。
进一步的,所述贴合胶层的厚度是5~35μm。
另一方面,本发明还提供一种图像识别模组,所述图像识别模组依次包括准直层、滤光层和光电感应层;所述准直层选自本发明所述的贴合型准直膜或本发明所述的减干涉准直膜。
图14为图像识别模组大屏化趋势的示意图(以OLED手机指纹识别模组为例),展示了四种设计的OLED手机(01)的俯视图,OLED屏幕(02)下方存在指纹识别模组(03),手指(04)需要放置在这些特定区域方能进行识别并实现解锁:其中(a)为传统的定域识别设计,由于指纹识别模组特别小,激活屏幕时往往在该区域显示一个图标,用以指示手指精确放置的位置;(b)的指纹识别模组覆盖面积已经达到约1/4屏,从单指识别解锁拓展到双指识别解锁已不成问题;(c)、(d)的设计拟实现半屏化甚至全屏化,对指纹识别模组的大屏化提出了更高的要求。
如图15为图像识别模组的架构示意图(以OLED手机指纹识别模组为例),在完整的指纹模组中,减干涉准直膜层(05)处于中间层位置,准直膜的上方是OLED屏幕(02),下方还有滤光层(06)和光电感应层(07)。当准直膜是软基部件时,其尺寸稳定性(热收缩、热膨胀、褶皱等)是其弱点,因此在大面积使用时需要和下层部件进行绑定以增加整体的挺性以及厚度,下层部件可以是硬基部件(如滤光层),也可以是与软基部件(如滤光层也可以用软基制备,光电感应芯片也可以用TFT(薄膜晶体管)制备。
本发明提供的贴合型准直膜具有贴合胶层(44),能将软基(即柔性基体层)的准直膜与图像识别模组的下层部件进行贴合,提高了准直膜的尺寸稳定性,如图16所示。显然,经过贴合之后准直膜的平整度更高,可以减少因膜材波浪(Waving)引起的光学畸变,加强了其图像识别的准确性。
所述贴合型准直膜从上至下具有四层主要结构,分别是无序阵列准直透镜层(41)、柔性基体层(42)、准直孔层(43)以及贴合胶层(44),如图17所示。其中,所述无序阵列准直透镜层(41)、柔性基体层(42)以及准直孔层(43)的设计参数与减干涉准直膜完全相同,所述贴合胶层(44)的厚度为T 2,选自5~50μm,优选为10~25μm,太薄胶层会导致贴合不紧密(无论信赖性前后),太厚会导致信号光损失或串扰。如图18所示:(a)正常情况下如信号光在准直孔层聚焦后会发散在光电感应器上,产生比小孔大、但比光电感 应器小的光斑,此时信号被完全接收;(b)但如果胶层变厚导致光电感应器距离变远、光斑变大,则会产生损失;(c)当胶层过厚,光电感应器距离过远、光斑过大,甚至会产生临近光斑叠加的互相串扰现象。
进一步的,所述贴合胶层可选自固态OCA(光学透明胶)、高透PSA(压敏胶)或透明热熔胶等,优选为具有高透光率和重工性的OCA和PSA。进一步的,所述OCA和PSA的材质分别选自热固聚丙烯酸酯体系或光固聚丙烯酸酯体系。
进一步的,在贴合性型准直膜中,所述准直透镜阵列与准直孔阵列均为无序阵列,且微透镜紧密排列互相交叠(如图12所示,任意三个互相交叠的微透镜的主光轴坐标连接成普通三角形(不是正三角形)。在减干涉准直膜(无序准直膜)中,P的取值范围为5~55μm,所述互相交叠的两个微透镜的主光轴间距P在一定取值范围内无序变化,相邻主光轴间距P的变化量为A(P的取值范围中最高值与最低值的差),相邻主光轴间距P的中值为Pm(P的取值范围中最高值与最低值的平均值),则Pm-0.5A≤P≤Pm+0.5A;中值Pm选自10~50μm,优选为15~30μm,进一步优选为18~25μm,主光轴间距P的变化量A选自1~10μm,优选为2~6μm。
进一步的,微透镜的半径R为6.1μm-30.2μm,准直透镜层的高度H为1.1μm-27.4μm,准直透镜层材质的折射率n1为1.34~1.7;在所述柔性基体层中,柔性基体层的厚度T为10~50μm,柔性基体层材质的折射率n2为1.48~1.7;在所述准直孔层中,准直孔层的厚度t为0.5~7μm,准直孔阵列中的准直孔的直径□为1~10μm。
本发明还提供所述贴合型准直膜的制备方法,所述的准直孔采用微聚焦法打孔。
进一步的,所述制备方法中,使激光垂直照射准直透镜层,激光通过准直透镜层的微透镜聚焦,聚焦形成的光斑落在准直孔层上打出准直孔。通过该法制备的贴合型准直膜中,所述准直孔阵列与微透镜阵列的分布完全一致,任意准直孔的圆心均在相应微透镜的主光轴上。
本发明还提供所述的贴合型准直膜的制备方法,所述制备方法包括下述步骤:
(1)制备减干涉准直膜;
(2)将OCA/PSA胶带撕开轻离型膜,粘合胶层与准直孔层进行贴合。
进一步的,所述制备方法包括下述步骤:

(2)将OCA/PSA胶带撕开轻离型膜,粘合胶层与准直膜背面(准直孔层)进行贴合,通过加压、升温、抽真空进行排气、除泡;
(3)使用前撕掉重离型膜,即可获得贴合型准直膜,OCA/PSA胶层用于下层部件的 贴合。
在实施例93-102中,所述准直膜中准直透镜阵列与准直孔阵列均为无序阵列,且微透镜紧密排列互相交叠(如图12所示,任意三个互相交叠的微透镜的主光轴坐标连接成普通三角形。所述互相交叠的两个微透镜的主光轴间距P在一定取值范围(Pm±0.5A)内无序变化,其中,中值Pm为18μm或15μm,变化量A为4μm,即P的取值范围为18±2μm或15±2μm,其他参数如表10所列。所述准直透镜层41的材质为PMMA,柔性基体层42的材质为PET,准直孔层43的遮光介质43A为无机镀层碳化钛。所述准直膜采用微透镜打孔方式打出准直孔43B,所述其他各项参数如表10所列。实施例93~99的贴合胶层44为固态OCA,材质为热固化聚丙烯酸酯体系;实施例100的贴合胶层44为高透PSA,材质为热固化聚丙烯酸酯体系;实施例101的贴合胶层44为固态OCA,材质为光固化聚丙烯酸酯体系;实施例102的贴合胶层44为高透PSA,材质为光固化聚丙烯酸酯体系。其他各项参数如下:

与现有技术相比,本发明提供的贴合型准直膜只包括一层准直孔层,根本上解决了两层准直光阑相互之间对位难的问题,且,厚度低,韧性好、不易碎,采用微聚焦法制备得到的准直孔的圆心在相应微透镜的主光轴上、准直孔与相应微透镜对位精确。本发明提供的贴合型准直膜的制备方法易于操作,能够大量生产,提高了生产良率。本发明提供的贴合型准直膜的性能优异,能通过准直光,过滤漫射光,且光干涉现象减轻。本发明提供的贴合型准直膜具有贴合胶层,能与下层部件进行贴合,提高了柔性准直膜的尺寸稳定性,减少光学畸变。本发明提供的贴合型准直膜可应用于大尺寸、超薄的图像识别模组中,使大尺寸、超薄、甚至柔性的图像识别模组的量产性大大提高,当应用于手机(OLED屏)等消费类电子产品的指纹解锁方案时,因其市场需求极大,且对超薄、大屏、柔性等特性有更高追求,本发明的贴合型准直膜优势明显。本发明提供的图像识别模组的识别准确率高,可应用于手机(OLED屏)等消费类电子产品的指纹解锁等。
应当注意,本发明准直膜中,所述准直孔层的遮光介质具有遮光功能,能将光线遮挡住,即对特定波段的光线透过率小于一定值。一般而言,对于光学传感器使用,遮光介质 的透过率至少应<1%,即截止深度(截止等级)OD 2。本发明的遮光介质采用了不透明的有机涂层和无机镀层,所含关键的物质均为吸光物质,所述吸光物质选自碳质、碳化物、碳氮化物、硫化物等。而事实上,本发明的遮光介质还可采用金属镀层,除了上述不透明的黑色吸光物质,金属镀层也可以实现遮光功能,满足透过率<1%时。金属镀层可以做的非常致密,相同厚度下,不论是截止深度(越深,透过率越小,噪音越少)还是截止范围(所截止的波长范围)都具有优势(如图20a所示)。因此,可以采用黑色吸光物质层+金属镀层+黑色吸光物质层的三层遮光设计,起到更好的遮光效果。
在图像识别模组中,不同光电感应器的感光波段是不同的,对应波段的光线必须被遮光层阻挡住,否则就会被光电感应器接收到,产生噪音。常用光电感应器中,CMOS的感光波段是400-1100nm,而TFT的感光波段是400-850nm。因此,三层遮光设计中的金属镀层针对近红外区具有深度截止特性,因而用于光电感应器是CMOS的图像识别模组中有一定优势,若单纯采用吸光物质作为遮光层(准直孔层的遮光介质形成遮光层),那么需要增加厚度予以弥补。
三层遮光设计中的金属镀层还具有以下的优点:1、金属相比金属碳化物普遍熔点更低(大部分金属熔点小于2000℃,但碳化物往往高于3000℃,例如钛/锆的熔点为1675℃/1852℃,但是碳化钛/碳化锆的熔点分别为3160℃/3540℃),在激光打孔时,金属会形成熔融再铸区(也称为再铸层)的圆形边界(火山口,如图22中的43B2所示),对孔的形态管控更佳,圆度更高(当然,再铸区不一定很圆,但这不影响光线透过),不易产生异形孔;2、金属具有延展性,薄的金属镀层具有一定柔韧性,打孔过程中不易产生裂纹、粉化等问题(金属碳化物较脆,则较易产生裂纹、粉化),可靠性更高,如对比图21所示。
应当指出,三层遮光设计相比单层金属镀层或双层(上层黑色吸光物质层+下层金属镀层)的设计也具有一定优势:图20b展示了金属镀层的一个劣势,即反射率相比黑色吸光物质要高得多,正面的高反射率会导致激光打孔时,需要更大的能量(很多能量被反射掉),或者需要选择合适的激光器,用金属层吸收较强烈的波段进行打孔,降低了对设备的普适性,而背面的高反射率会导致能够大角度入射的能够穿过小孔的串扰光082,在经过小孔下方的界面反射(如背胶层和滤光层的界面)回到金属镀层背面时,又再次反射,产生了0822,即小孔下方的多次反射串扰光,如图25所示。
如图23所示,若在金属镀层43A2上下均设置了黑色吸光物质43A1,激光的能量会被上层43A1大量吸收(图24反射率<4%,透过率<1%,吸收率>95%),而转化的热量也会通过上层迅速传递到金属镀层使其受热、熔融、蒸发,从而打出准直孔,同时金属的熔融、蒸发又是一个较快的散热过程,不易使黑色吸光物质累积热量产生裂纹、粉化的问题; 而下层43A1有助于吸收小孔下方的多次反射串扰光0822,如图26所示。因此,三层遮光设计,不仅有助于准直孔的圆度提高,整体遮光层不易碎裂、可靠性更高,而且有助于提高对激光能量的利用,进一步降低噪音、提高信噪比。
三层遮光设计的制作过程相比单层遮光设计而言,在背面的制作流程上需多增加两步,即先制作上层(靠内)的黑色吸光物质层,再制作中层的金属镀层,最后制作下层(靠外)的黑色吸光物质层,为了简化流程,提高效率,黑色吸光物质优选为无机镀层,而有机涂层并非优选,如此一来,黑色吸光物质和金属均可采用干法涂布(例如物理气相沉积)的方式,对于多腔室多靶位的设备甚至可以把三层制程通过连续作业完成。如果上层和下层的黑色吸光物质相同,还可以采用往复式的卷绕镀膜设备,最少两个腔室就能完成三层制程。

进一步的,所述黑色吸光物质选自碳单质、碳化物、碳氮化物、硫化物中的一种。进一步的,所述金属镀层选自适用于磁控溅射的铟、锡、锌、锑、镁、铝、锶、铈、锗、镧、银、金、铜、锰、钆、镍、钴、钇、铁、钛、铂、锆、铬、铪、铌、或钼中的一种。

进一步的,所述金属镀层优选锡、锌、铝、锗、银、铜、锰、镍、钴、铁、钛、铬、铌、或钼中的一种。这些金属镀膜原料更为普遍,成本低。
遮光介质的涂布方式应根据遮光介质的种类进行选择,黑色吸光物质可选择湿法涂布方式,也可选择干法涂布,优选为干法涂布方式,金属镀层需选择干法涂布(例如物理气相沉积)方式。
进一步的,本发明提供的减干涉准直膜中,所述遮光介质为三层设计,上层为黑色吸光物质层,中层为金属镀层,下层为黑色吸光物质层。
进一步的,本发明提供的贴合型准直膜中,所述遮光介质为三层设计,上层为黑色吸光物质层,中层为金属镀层,下层为黑色吸光物质层。
在实施例103-112中,所述准直膜中准直透镜阵列与准直孔阵列均为无序阵列,且微透镜紧密排列互相交叠(如图12所示,任意三个互相交叠的微透镜的主光轴坐标连接成普通三角形。所述互相交叠的两个微透镜的主光轴间距P在一定取值范围(Pm±0.5A)内无序变化,其中,中值Pm为18μm,变化量A为4μm,即P的取值范围为18±2μm,其他参数如表11所列。所述准直透镜层41的材质为PMMA,柔性基体层42的材质为PET,准直孔层43的遮光介质43A为三层遮光设计,上层和下层均为黑色吸光物质43A1,中层为金属镀层43A2。所述准直膜采用微透镜打孔方式打出准直孔43B。实施例103~112的贴合胶层44为固态OCA,材质为热固化聚丙烯酸酯体系;实施例103~112的黑色吸光物质分别为碳单质、碳化铬、碳化钛、碳化硼、碳氮化钛、碳氮化硼、硫化亚铁、二硫化钼、二硫化钴、硫化镍,金属镀层分别为铝、锗、银、铜、锰、镍、钴、铁、钛、铬,中层金属镀层的厚度占遮光介质的三层结构的总厚度的比例分别为10%、10%、30%、30%、50%、50%、70%、70%、90%、90%,上层黑色吸光物质层和下层黑色吸光物质层的厚度之比分别为0.1:1、0.2:1、0.5:1、0.8:1、1:1、1:1、1.25:1、2:1、5:1、10:1。实施例93的遮光介质(为一层黑色吸光物质层)的正面和背面对可见光的截止性能良,对近红外的截止性能中,全波段整体的透过率<5%,反射率<4%,吸收率>90%,对激光能量利用率高,实施例103~112的遮光介质(为三层结构)的正面和背面对可见光的截止性能优,对近红外的截止性能良,整体全波段的透过率<1%,反射率<4%,吸收率>95%,对激光能量利用率极高。
本发明提供的技术方案中的遮光介质(遮光层)采用三层结构设计(上层为黑色吸光物质层,中层为金属镀层,下层为黑色吸光物质层)后,准直膜的挡光性能和透光性能基本没有影响。但对光线的截止性能更好,特别是对红外光的截止深度也能达到OD2的级别,同时准直孔的圆度更好,遮光层不易碎裂、可靠性更高,此外,该技术方案相比遮光介质为单层金属镀层的准直膜而言,其对激光能量的利用率更高,且噪音进一步降低,信噪比进一步提高。
应当指出,三层的设计存在下述问题:三层遮光设计工序较多,工艺管控上较为复杂, 且当希望通过遮光层的厚度提高来调节准直性能时,无机镀层(例如金属镀层)的沉积时间大大增加,对成本产生较大影响。因此,在本发明迭代研发过程中,需要寻找一种更好的方式:既可以用单层结构来实现遮光功能,又能避免激光打孔时单层吸光物质层的孔形态较差的问题。
事实上,我们发现遮光层采用普通有机涂层时,相比无机镀层厚度更大,但激光打孔仍不圆,而本质上是因为涂层的不均匀所致。采用黑色高精细油墨代替普通黑色有机涂层(例如普通黑色油墨),能够改善这种不均匀性,使孔更圆。

具体实施方式
为了更易理解本发明的结构及所能达成的功能特征和优点,下文将本发明的较佳的实施例,并配合图式做详细说明如下。
对比例1
如图9所示为用于对比的一个准直膜,包括准直透镜层41、柔性基体层(简称基体)42和准直孔层43,准直透镜层置于基体的上表面,准直孔层置于基体的下表面,所述准直透镜层41包含微透镜阵列41A和肉厚41B,所述准直孔层43包含遮光介质43A和介质镂空后形成的准直孔阵列(由一定数量准直孔43B构成);所述柔性基体层的厚度T为25μm。所述准直膜的准直透镜阵列与准直孔阵列均为正三角形紧密排列(如图8所示)。所述微透镜的主光轴最小间距P为18μm,曲率半径R为12.6μm,准直透镜层厚度H(微透镜顶点至基体上表面垂直距离)为8.5μm,所述准直孔层的厚度t为2μm,准直孔直径□为4μm。所述准直透镜层的微透镜阵列与肉厚的材质均为透明聚合物PMMA,折射率n1为1.5,所述柔性基体层的材质为透明聚合物薄膜PET,折射率n2为1.65,所述准直孔层43的遮光介质43A为无机镀层碳化钛。所述准直膜采用传统激光打孔方式(如图5所示)打出一个个准直孔43B,微透镜主光轴40与准直孔43B中心位置存在对位偏差,从激光器定位原点O朝一个方向逐个打孔,第一个孔的对位偏差为Δ 1,第n个孔的对位偏差为Δ n,Δ n-1n(n为大于2的自然数),存在n使对位偏差Δ超过1μm甚至更大。透光系数k很容易下降,甚至会低于0.6,达到“差”的评价水平。
实施例1
如图6所示为本发明提供的准直膜,包括准直透镜层41、柔性基体层42和准直孔层43,准直透镜层置于基体的上表面,准直孔层置于基体的下表面,所述准直透镜层41包含微透镜阵列41A和肉厚41B,所述准直孔层43包含遮光介质43A和介质镂空后形成的准直孔阵列(由一定数量准直孔43B构成);所述柔性基体层的厚度T为25μm。所述准直膜的准直透镜阵列与准直孔阵列均为正三角形紧密排列(如图8所示)。所述微透镜的主光轴最小间距P为18μm,曲率半径R为12.6μm,准直透镜层厚度H为8.5μm,所述准直孔层的厚度t为2μm,准直孔直径□为4μm。所述准直透镜层的微透镜阵列与肉厚的材质均为透明聚合物PMMA,折射率n1为1.5,所述柔性基体层的材质为透明聚合物薄膜PET,折射率n2为1.65,所述准直孔层的遮光介质43A为无机镀层碳化钛。所述准直膜采用微聚焦法打孔方式(如图4所示)打出准直孔43B,准直孔阵列与微透镜阵列的分布完全一致,任意准直孔的圆心均在相应微透镜主光轴40上,一对一高精度对准,准直孔的圆心与相对应的微透镜的主光轴的对位偏差Δ为0.47μm,<1μm。打孔时激光恰恰微聚焦在PET下表面,光斑直径D为1.7μm,最小挡光角度θ为7.5°,透光系数k为0.98,整体上与对比例1性能优势明显。
实际上,准直透镜结构参数组合并非局限上述实施例:针对同样准直滤光效果,可以根据准直透镜层的材质、折射率、柔性基体层的材质、折射率做各种各样的改变,例如相应改变P、R、H、□、t等;针对同样厚度t准直孔的遮光效果,可以对遮光介质做各种各样的改变,例如改变有机涂料、无机镀层的种类、组合、甚至比例等。
按照下述方式评价本发明提供的准直膜的性能。
(A)挡光性能
准直膜的最终重要的性能指标是挡住杂光的能力,一般用所能挡住斜射光的最小角度来评价。当准直膜各项参数确定时,可以通过常规光学模拟软件(Light tools、ZeMax、Tracepro等),或是理论计算得出能完全遮挡住斜射光的最小角度θ。如图10所示准直膜最小角度测试过程,本发明根据θ的大小(精确到0.5°),将挡光性能进行了5个等级的划分,依次对应关系为:极优:0°≤θ<5°、优:5°≤θ<7.5°、良:7.5°≤θ<10°、中:10°≤θ<15°)、差:θ≥15°。
(B)透光性能
准直膜另一重要的性能指标是透过信号光的能力。用垂直准直光源入射可以检验准直孔和微透镜之间的对位精度:当对齐程度足够高时,光斑始终在准直孔直径范围中,此时透光性能最好,透过率最大(利用光学模拟或激光头高精度条件下的标准样测试得到,一 般在90%附近);当对位误差增加时透过率会不断衰减;由于准直孔数量非常大,用该方式可以在宏观条件下测试出透过率变化,以此来比较对齐程度。本发明将测试所得的透过率与最高透过率(最高透过率指微透镜的主光轴与对应的准直孔的中心线完全重合的情况下测得的光透过率)的比值定义为透光系数k,对齐程度足够高时为1。本发明根据k的大小,将透光性能进行了5个等级的划分,依次对应关系为:极优:1≥k>0.95、优:0.95≥k>0.9、良:0.9≥k>0.8、中:0.8≥k>0.6、差:k≤0.6。
显然,上述两个性能对于准直膜都是至关重要的:k越大,信号越强;θ越小,噪音越少;两个参数都对加强图像识别信噪比(SNR)有极大的帮助。
(C)光谱特性
在准直膜的设计和优化中,对重要部件提出了具体的光谱特性要求,包括针对特定波段(一般分为可见光波段和近红外波段)的透过率(Transmittance,简写成T%)和反射率(Reflectance,简写成R%)。同时,利用透过率、反射率还可以计算出吸收率(Absorbance,简写成A%),因三者相加为100%。光谱特性的评价采用紫外-可见光-近红外分光光度计来检测,如安捷伦公司的Cary5000/7000等型号的设备都满足要求。
就遮光介质而言,T%的含义即光线截止性能,本发明根据T%,将截止性能进行了5个等级的划分,依次对应关系为:极优:T%<0.01%、优:T%<0.1%、良:T%<1%、中:T%<10%、差:T%≥10%;即分别对应OD4、OD3、OD2、OD1、以及无截止。而A%的含义即光线吸收性能,本发明根据A%,将激光能量的利用率进行了7个等级的划分,依次对应关系为:极高:A%>95%、高:95%≥A%>90%、较高:90%≥A%>65%、中等:65%≥A%>35%、较低:35%≥A%>10%、低:10%≥A%>5%、极低:A%≤5%;

如表1所示,为25μm厚度的柔性基底层上不同P值设计相对较优的实施例。当P值分别为10、15、18、20、25、30μm时,各有四个实施例对应。可以发现,当P值和其他 条件不变时,增加R值时,会让透镜变浅(指肉厚层的高度增加;而透镜的拱高,即透镜顶点至肉厚层上表面的高度变小),焦距变远,遮光层上微聚焦的光斑变大,因此还需配合H的增加,使焦点回归到遮光层上,光斑缩小,R、H的配合变化,可以让微聚焦光斑直径D不断缩小,最小挡光角θ逐渐降低,挡光性能提升。针对透光性能,光斑直径D越接近开孔(准直孔)直径□时,对位偏差Δ对透光率影响越大,稍有偏离,就会产生信号光的损失,而D相对□较小时,对位偏差的影响就小,无论向哪个方向移动都仍在孔内。本发明提供的实施例1-24都固定开孔直径□为4μm,除了实施例21~23中D和□比较接近外,其他实施例均保持一定的差异,透光系数k大于0.9。总体而言,实施例1-24绝大部分都可以达到挡光性能和透光性能双优以上的水准,是基于25μm厚度柔性基底的较优实施效果。

如表2所示,为不同柔性基体厚度的实施例25~30。实施例25~27分别为P=10μm,其他参数不变的条件下,T=10、15、20μm的一组准直膜,实施例28~30分别为P=25μm,其他参数不变的条件下,T=25、38、50μm的另一组准直膜。当T不断增加时,为保持微聚焦效果(焦点始终落在基体下表面与遮光层附近且光斑尽量缩小),微透镜结构显然需要变浅,即固定P值和折射率搭配的情况下,R值增加,H变低(相比于表1实施例的差异, 焦距设计已经随着T的增加进行适配,因而H不需要增加,反而是下降的)。可以发现,其他条件不变时,厚度T增加,有助于结构变浅,光斑D缩小,最小挡光角θ降低,挡光性能提升,且透光系数也进一步提升。因此,在厚度能允许的范围里(超薄应用越来越普遍,太厚也是不允许的),用相对较厚的基体,对准直膜的性能提高是有帮助的,符合大长径比的准直膜性能更优的原理(如图3所示原理)。综合上述,本发明中T选自10~50μm,进一步优选为25~38μm。

注1同表1。
如表3所示,对比实施例31~36可以发现,当其他条件不变,P值不断增大时,R值变大,若保持原深宽比,按照相似原则,焦距会变远,因而H变大。即便能控制焦距,但仍无法防止光斑半径D以及θ增加,相同开孔直径下,k也会因此下降。因此,总体而言,P值变大是不利于准直膜性能的,这也符合大长径比的准直膜性能更优的原理(如图3所示原理)。此外,对比实施例37与33,38与34,39与35,当光斑D足够小时,可以通过调整激光能量使开孔直径□减小,并不一定局限一个固定值,可以发现开孔直径降低后可 以进一步提高挡光性能,但透光效果会有所降低。实施例40的P值为50μm,相应的R和H都较大,整体而言对于本发明的准直膜而言,微透镜尺寸已经达到设计上限,包括光斑直径D也较大(D特别小,尤其是小于0.5μm也并不好,容易造成单点能量过高,烧伤基体)导致开孔直径□达到上限8μm,同时最小挡光角θ为12度也较大,挡光性能并不算太好。综合上述,本发明中P选自10~50μm,优选为15~30μm,进一步优选为18~25μm。□选自1~10μm(10μm来自实施例47),进一步优选为3~5μm。D选自0.1~7.8μm,优选为0.5~4.9μm,进一步优选为1~2μm。

如表4所示,为不同准直孔层厚度t的实施例41~47。对比第一组实施例41~44或对比第二组实施例45~47可知,在其他条件不变时,增加t有助于提高挡光性能,t太薄并非优选值。由于激光打孔一般会形成较小深宽比的空洞,因而开孔直径往往比t要大一些,因此实际上当t太厚时,会导致开孔直径过大(如第二组实施例)反而逐渐降低挡光性能。本发明中t选自0.5~7μm,优选为1~5μm,进一步优选为2~3μm。

如表5所示,为不同折射率搭配的实施例48~57。对比第一组实施例48~52可知,在其他条件不变时:1.增加n1(对比实施例50、48、49或对比实施例51、52)有助于缩小光斑D,降低θ并提高挡光性能,n1=1.6时最佳,n1=1.4时最差;2.降低n2(实施例51、52与实施例48、49对比)同样有效。对比第二组实施例53~57,折射率影响的规律仍相同,然由于第二组结构较浅,性能本就足够优异,因此影响并没有那么大。对于n1而言,太高或太低折射率的成型材料选择面会比较窄,而对于n2而言,更多的是考虑柔性基体本身的物理性能和透光率等性能,而折射率仅用于准确设计结构而已。因此,本发明中n1选自1.4~1.6,优选为1.5。n2选自1.5~1.65,依据材料差异,不做优选。
实施例58
如实施例48提供的准直膜,所述准直膜的准直透镜阵列与准直孔阵列均为正方形紧密排列(如图7所示),所述准直透镜层41的材质为PMMA,柔性基体层42的材质为PET,准直孔层43的遮光介质43A为无机镀层碳化钛,所述准直膜采用微透镜打孔方式打出准 直孔43B,所述其他各项参数如表6所列。

从表6可知,当其他参数不变时,微透镜的分布方式从正三角形改为正方形,依然可以通过R、H的搭配设计,获得一款准直膜。但准直膜的性能相对于正三角形的分布稍差。主要原因是因为正方形分布没有正三角形致密,对角线与P之间的比值,正方形更大,因而相同P值,正方形排布的球冠显得更凸一些,从而导致光斑更散,D更大,同时θ上升,挡光效果变差,D变大又同时导致透光性能变差。当然,正方形排布并非不可取,为达到相同效果,需要设计更小的P值即可。本发明不再赘述更多正方形分布的实施例,正方形分布始终在本发明的保护范围内。

如实施例53~57提供的准直膜,所述准直膜的准直透镜阵列与准直孔阵列均为正三角形紧密排列,准直透镜层微透镜的主光轴最小间距P为20μm,曲率半径R为18.3μm,准直透镜层总厚4.1μm,柔性基体层厚度50μm,准直孔层厚度为2μm,准直孔直径□为4μm,所述准直膜采用微透镜打孔方式打出准直孔43B,微透镜与准直孔对位误差Δ均<1μm。挡光角度θ均小于5°,挡光性能极优,透光系数k均大于0.95,透光性能极优。所述准直透镜层的材质、柔性基体层的材质以及准直孔层遮光介质的材质如表7所列,准直透镜层折射率n1和柔性基体层折射率n2依据材质,依材质而异,且允许±0.02同材质不同工艺造成的误差,表中不再列出。

从表12中的实施例44~47与113~116的对比可知,遮光介质改为采用黑色高精细油墨后,由于黑色吸光物质(黑色纳米颗粒)粒径在纳米尺度,且粒径变化范围窄,分散均匀,因此激光开孔时焦点向四周传递的能量也更均匀,相同厚度t,孔可开得更圆,因此挡光性能显著提升(由θ表征,θ越小,挡光性能越好)。对比实施例114与117可以发现,相同厚度t仍可通过激光的开孔工艺参数(如能量、频率等)按照需求扩大开孔,由于深宽比较高时透光性能有所减弱,适当扩大开孔,有助于改善该性能。由实施例113~120可知,即便没有致密的金属镀层,黑色高精细油墨在厚度t大于3μm的时候,对可见光、红外光的截止深度已经完全能达到OD2的级别,特别当厚度t大于5μm的时候,还能达到OD3的级别。对比实施例114、121~125可以发现,10~100nm的粒径变化已经对开孔影响不大,因为纳米尺度已经能足够均匀。
