Abstract:
A microlens substrate 1 includes a glass substrate 2 provided with a number of concavities 3 for microlenses, and a glass layer 8 bonded via a resin layer 9 to the glass substrate 2 at a surface thereof provided with the concavities 3. In the resin layer 9, microlenses 4 are formed with a resin filling the concavities 3. The resin layer 9 is formed by curing a resin having a viscosity before curing of not higher than 500 cP at 25° C., particularly an ultraviolet curable resin. An index of refraction n of the resin layer 9 is preferably not lower than 1.35.

To provide a biological information detector or the like in which the detection accuracy or the measurement accuracy can be increased. A biological information detector includes a light-emitting part (14) for emitting light (R1) directed at a detection site (O) of a test subject; a light-receiving part (16) for receiving light (R1′) having biological information, the light (R1′) being light (R1) emitted by the light-emitting part (14) and reflected at the detection site (O); and a contact part (19) formed from a material that is transparent with respect to a wavelength of light (R1) emitted by the light-emitting part (14), the contact part (19) having a contact surface (19A) that makes contact with the test subject and an opposing surface (19B) disposed opposite the contact surface (19A). The light-emitting part (14) is installed on the opposing surface (19B).
Abstract:
A biological information detector includes a light-emitting part, a light-receiving part, a reflecting part, and a substrate. The light-receiving part is for receiving light having biological information, where the light is emitted by the light-emitting part and reflected at a detection site of a test subject. The reflecting part is for reflecting the light emitted by the light-emitting part or the light having biological information. The substrate has a first surface and a second surface facing the first surface, formed from a material that is transparent with respect to a wavelength of the light emitted by the light-emitting part, at least one of the first surface and the second surface of the substrate has a light-blocking region containing wiring leading to at least the other of the light-emitting part and the light-receiving part.
Abstract:
An etching method is disclosed. The etching method includes the steps of: preparing a substrate 5; forming first and second films 61, 62 each having predetermined internal stress on the substrate so that the internal stresses of the first and second films 61, 62 are canceled out or reduced with each other; forming a plurality of initial holes 63 in the first and second films 61, 62 to form a mask 6; and forming a plurality of concave portions 3 in the substrate 5 at portions corresponding to the plurality of initial holes 63 by subjecting the substrate 5 to an etching process using the mask 6.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an excellent transmissive screen allowing a well-balanced increase in the vertical, horizontal, and oblique viewing angle characteristics for enhancing the viewing angle characteristics, and a rear projector including the transmissive screen. A transmissive screen can include a Fresnel lens portion having Fresnel lens components on its light-exiting surface, and a microlens array portion disposed at the light-exiting surface side of the Fresnel lens portion and having many microlenses on its light-incident surface. The microlenses of the microlens array portion are arrayed vertically and horizontally such that adjacent microlenses have common sides and the microlens array portion is rotated by 45°.
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.
