Abstract:
In a method of forming a colored layer on a microlens substrate according to the present invention, a colored layer 4 is formed on troughs 32 between adjacent microlenses 3 by applying a liquid 42 for forming a colored layer 4 with fluidity onto the side of the microlens substrate 1 where the microlenses 3 are provided, and then hardening the applied liquid 42 to form a colored layer 4 in the troughs 32. A colored dispersion liquid in which a dispersoid is dispersed in a dispersion medium is suitably used as the liquid 42. It is preferable that the liquid 42 for forming a colored layer 4 has a coefficient of viscosity of 500 cP or less at a temperature of 25° C.
Abstract:
An optical unit includes a lens and a lens frame to support the lens. The lens frame includes a cylindrical portion and a U-shaped portion. The U-shaped portion has a U-shaped cross-section. The cylindrical portion has an edge and an inner surface in contact with an outer surface of the lens. The U-shaped portion is formed integrally with the edge of the cylindrical portion and holds the lens. With the lens held, the U-shaped portion is adhesively bonded to the cylindrical portion and then is removed from the cylindrical portion.

Abstract:
The present invention reduces or removes the need to clean an objective lens, thus simplifying the observation procedure, prevents bacteria or contamination from adhering to the objective lens, and protects the objective lens from external force that would be exerted during cleaning. The invention includes an optically transparent covering configured to cover at least an end surface of an objective lens; and an attaching mechanism configured to attach the covering to the objective lens.
Abstract:
The invention protects a front end of an objective lens from extreme external force in a non-operating state. There is provided an objective lens protector mounted on an objective lens or a microscope main body having the objective lens mounted thereon. The objective lens protector includes a covering member movable between a protecting position where a front end of the objective lens is covered in a non-operating state and an operating position where the front end of the objective lens is exposed in an operating state.

Abstract:
A transmissive screen is provided that controls moire pattern occurrence to prevent the degradation of image quality. The transmissive screen includes a Fresnel lens sheet having a Fresnel lens unit and a microlens array sheet having a microlens unit that are placed opposite to each other. Projected images enter from one side of the screen and are displayed on the other side of the screen, assuming that the lens pitch on one side of the microlens unit is P, the lens pitch of the Fresnel lens unit is Pf, and the pixel-frame pitch projected on the screen is Pb, the following expressions are satisfied: P≠Pb·Pf/(Pb+Pf); P≠Pb·Pf/2×(Pb+Pf); and P≠Pb−Pf/2×(Pb−Pf).
Abstract:
A substrate with a plurality of concave portions according to the invention includes a substrate having. a plurality of concave portions. The concave portions are formed on the substrate by means of an etching process so that the plurality of concave portions are randomly arranged on the substrate. First, a non-polymerized resin is applied to the face on which the concave portions of the substrate with concave portions for microlenses are formed. By polymerizing and hardening (solidifying) this resin and further removing the substrate with concave portions for microlenses from a resin layer, the resin layer is formed on the substrate. Thus, microlenses that are constituted from the resin filled in the concave portions and function as convex lenses are formed in the resin layer.
