Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing a microlens array with adjustable light transmittance. The microlens array is formed by arranging polymer scattering liquid crystal microspheres, wherein the polymer is polystyrene (PS), polycarbonate (PC), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), dimethyl silicone polymer (PDMS), NOA65 or NOA81; the liquid crystal is E7, E8, 5CB, 6CB, 7CB or a mixed liquid crystal of the liquid crystals and a light responding low molecule liquid crystal with azobenzol functional group, and the light responding low molecule liquid crystal can be BMAB, BHAB or BHMB. The preparation method comprises the following steps: mixing the polymer or the prepolymer of the polymer and liquid crystal to form a homogeneous solution, leading a polymer solution containing liquid crystal and a polyvinyl alcohol solution to a microflow control device so as to obtain the polymer solution drops containing liquid crystal, solidifying drops to obtain the polymer scattering liquid crystal microspheres, and forming the microlens array with an adjustable light transmittance by the microspheres.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a microlens array whose light transmittance can be adjusted by temperature and ultraviolet light, in particular to a microlens (array) with light transmittance arranged by a single polymer dispersed liquid crystal microsphere and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Microlens refers to tiny lenses, usually with a diameter of 10 μm to 1 mm. The array of these tiny lenses arranged in a certain shape on the substrate is called a microlens array. Microlens (array) optical components have the advantages of small size, light weight, and easy integration, and play an important role in various fields such as military affairs and scientific research. Microlenses (arrays) have significant applications in tiny optical systems, which can be used in optical information processing, optical computing, optical interconnection, optical data transmission, and can also be used in copiers, image scanners, fax machines, camer...
