Problems solved by technology

However, this method has the following defects: high thermal expansion coefficient, low softening temperature, strong water absorption, low surface hardness, easy to scratch, difficult to eliminate internal stress, and easy to produce cracks
This method can directly scribe on the surface of optical materials, but it has the following defects: it has strict requirements on the symmetry of the processed components, and generally can only process optical components with linear symmetry and rotational symmetry, and cannot process arbitrary surface shapes and two-dimensional Elements of Array Structure
It can be seen from the replication method disclosed in this article that its technological process is relatively complicated

Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for making millimeter order microlens array. It is characterized by that it utilizes mechanical treatment to make mother plate of microlens array, then uses the silicon rubber and photosensitizer, etc. to reproduce mother plate, finally, the millimeter order microlens array can be obtained. Because the mechanical treatment possesses higher working accuracy, so that said method can be used for making the millimeter order microlens array with low roughness and good surface form.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a millimeter-scale microlens array. Background technique [0002] The diameter and relief depth of millimeter-scale microlens arrays (diameter from several millimeters to several centimeters, relief depth from hundreds of microns to several millimeters) are between microlens arrays and traditional lenses. Therefore, it is difficult to manufacture millimeter-scale microlens arrays by using the general method for manufacturing microlens arrays, which has defects such as long processing period and complicated process. Using traditional lens processing methods to make millimeter-scale microlens arrays requires processing individual microlenses and then splicing them into microlens arrays. Due to the characteristics of optical processing methods, it is difficult to ensure the consistency of microlenses, which affects Defects in the quality of the microlens array. [0003] In the p...
