摘要:
A photosensitive device (46) with a microlens array (44) may be packaged for surface mount packaging (48) and subsequent mass reflow processing without significantly degrading the optical performance of the microlens. The microlens may be formed using a series of heat steps of increasing time and temperature. In addition, the microlens may be bleached to prevent degradation of its optical transmissivity at temperatures normally associated with surface mount techniques.

The problem of the wavelength-selective mixture or distribution of polychromatic light consists, when decomposing the spectrum into several spectrally delimited light beams of minor wavelength width, which are the determinant feature of a spectrometer, in making them as easy and reliable to select as possible. When mixing polychromatic light, lights having only one wavelength are successively fed to each member of a selective chain to form a partial spectrum, and when distributing chromatic light, one wavelength is filtered out of each member and the remaining spectrum is fed after reflection to the next member for being further decomposed. A chain of photonic crystals is used both for mixing and distributing and a wavelength-selective coupler/decoupler is associated to each crystal. The fields of application of the invention are, besides the wavelength-selective mixture or distribution of polychromatic light, also spectrometric measurements and thus environment monitoring.

The present invention provides a method for producing a light control sheet having a function of scattering an incident light of a particular angle range comprising the steps of:(1)forming a layer comprising photopolymerizable composition on a sheet,(2)curing the layer by irradiation with light from a particular direction,(3)laminating a transparent film on the cured layer to achieve adhesion thereof,(4)irradiating the cured layer with light through the transparent film. According to the method of the present invention, a light control sheet which provides no sticky feeling, and has a sufficient commercial value, can be producing by means of a relatively simple apparatus with stability.

A light source destructuring and shaping device (6) which both homogenizes and imparts predetermined directionality to light rays emanating from a light source (7) is disclosed. The device comprises a micro-sculpted surface structure which controls the direction in which light propagates after reflection from, or transmission through, the device. The sculpted surface structure also homogenizes light propagating through it with predetermined directionality. The device may be used in any application which requires homogenation of light and which would benefit from being able to impart directionality to light waves propagating from a light source. Applications include existing diffuser applications and applications where it is not practical to use conventional diffusers. The homogenizing and shaping device achieves these with high transmission or reflection efficiency and reduced side lobes.
摘要:
A method is described of forming refractive microlenses comprising the steps of depositing or growing a first transparent layer on a substrate; depositing or growing a second transparent layer on said first transparent layer ; forming a columnar structure in said second transparent layer; forming a pillar in said first transparent layer using said columnar structure as a mask, whereby said pillar is self-aligned under said columnar structure and said pillar has a cross-sectional area smaller than or equal to the cross-sectional area of said columnar structure ; thereafter reflowing said second transparent layer of said columnar structure while said pillar remains esssentially unaltered, whereby a structure is formed on top of said pillar, said structure having a ground plane with an area smaller than or equal to the original cross-sectional area of said columnar structure ; and solidifying said structure. Due to the surface tension, the pillar underneath the microlens confines the reflow of the microlens to an area smaller or equal to the original cross-sectional area of the lens-forming columnar structure. A major effect of this is that the microlens has a strong curvature, and hence, a large numerical aperture.
摘要:
Microlithography techniques have provided a means for the development of many useful devices from microcircuits, which made the computer era possible, to micromechanical devices such as motors that are only a few tens of microns across. A new use of a microdevice is presented here which serves to 'payback' the art of microlithography as it is a significant contribution thereto. The device of the invention is a unique microdevice made with advanced microlithography techniques which when completed can be used as a new exposure tool for microlithography. A lens array can be as thin as 1/40 of the thickness of the page that this text is printed on, yet have thereon an arrangement of optical lenses powerful enough to replace very sophisticated and bulky, million dollar precision optics. An array of lenses can be fabricated with binary optical device and other techniques. The array having unlimited area and field of regard can be used as an exposure tool for very large area microdevices such as flat panel displays without the requirement of step and repeat operations which severely limit the throughput and yield in modern manufacturing methods.
摘要:
In a lithographically produced stepped lens with a Fresnel surface structure and a process for its production the high potential illumination speed of fast electron beam irradiation installations operating with a variable rectangular radiation cross section is to be converted into great efficacity for the production of Fresnel-type stepped lenses and thus reduce the quantity of data required. According to the invention, radiation dose distributions corresponding to cylindrical lenses, are applied in superimposed fashion so that at least one of the radiation dose distributions corresponds to one Fresnel cylindrical lens. The invention permits the effective lithographic production of novel lens structures with any lens curvature from radially spherical to elliptical.
