    Abstract: A method for fabricating a microlens array includes: step S1, providing a first substrate, and forming a patterned mask layer on the first substrate; step S2, etching the first substrate to form spaced grooves; step S3, removing the patterned mask layer; step S4, attaching a photoresist layer to the upper surface of the first substrate; step S5, softening the photoresist layer so that it adheres to the inner wall of the groove to form a concave smooth surface; step S6, solidifying the photoresist layer to form a working mold; applying an adhesive material and the working mold through the second substrate. The microlens array is produced by pressing the mold together or injecting PDMS material into the surface of the working mold.

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an optical element such as a micro-optic lens may include providing a substrate having a surface profile, the substrate surface profile defining one or more flow stop features. The method may include providing a mold tool having a mold surface profile and dispensing viscous material. When the mold surface profile and the substrate surface profile are disposed towards one another and aligned relative to one another, the mold surface profile and the substrate surface profile define therebetween an optical element cavity, a peripheral cavity disposed around a periphery of the optical element cavity where the peripheral cavity includes one or more flow stop features, and an air flow path for air to flow in and out of the peripheral cavity from and to an external environment. The optical element cavity and the peripheral cavity define a peripheral constriction therebetween.

    Abstract: A wafer-scale apparatus and method is described for the automation of forming, aligning and attaching two-dimensional arrays of microoptic elements on semiconductor and other image display devices, backplanes, optoelectronic boards, and integrated optical systems. In an ordered fabrication sequence, a mold plate comprised of optically designed cavities is formed by reactive ion etching or alternative processes, optionally coated with a release material layer and filled with optically specified materials by an automated fluid-injection and defect-inspection subsystem. Optical alignment fiducials guide the disclosed transfer and attachment processes to achieve specified tolerances between the microoptic elements and corresponding optoelectronic devices and circuits. The present invention applies to spectral filters, waveguides, fiber-optic mode-transformers, diffraction gratings, refractive lenses, diffractive lens/Fresnel zone plates, reflectors, and to combinations of elements and devices, including microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and liquid crystal device (LCD) matrices for adaptive, tunable elements. Preparation of interfacial layer properties and attachment process embodiments are taught.

    Abstract: The invention provides a lenticular lens type three-dimensional image display device and a method of fabricating the device without a need for a clear plastic substrate transposed between the image and lenticular lenses. The device can be obtained by directly printing curable coatings onto the image, making them particularly well suited for volume production. The combination the image printing and application of curable coatings process can be joined together to conduct the single pass-process. The single pass-process allows for flexibility of the printing only selective areas of the substrate. Moreover, this process allows the device to be recyclable.
