Abstract

The invention discloses a curved face surface micro-lens array and a corresponding preparation method. The structure of the micro-lens array is to arrange the micro-lens arrays on the curved face and the micro-lens arrays are mutually isolated. The preparation method includes the following steps: (1) a surface of a polymer fiber I with a diameter of 10 to 1000 Mu m is coated by a layer of an organic, inorganic or metal film with a thickness of 500nm to 100 Mu m; (2) the coated polymer fiber I is assembled into a sequential structure and then a polymer II is filled to get a composite structure; (3) the composite structure is cut into sheets of 5 to 1000 Mu m and then the sheets are placed onto a bended underlay to convert the sheets into the micro-lens array with the curved face. The invention is provided with novel structure and simple preparation and can be widely applied to the optical, photoelectric and information fields, etc.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a microlens array on a curved surface and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of material microstructure and preparation thereof. Background technique [0002] Microlens arrays are important elements in modern optics. Microlens arrays can correct light beams, optical connections, and imaging, so they have been widely used in display, information processing, microlithography and other fields. The microlens array on the curved surface has special applications, such as optical detection of large field of view, judgment and recognition of high-speed objects, etc. At present, the preparation of microlens arrays on curved surfaces is a technical difficulty. The conventional preparation methods of microlens arrays are planar preparation processes, and it is difficult to directly apply them to the preparation of microlens arrays on curved surfaces. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain microlens arrays wit...
