AI Technical Summary
Existing microlens 3D imaging technology cannot simultaneously satisfy both stable imaging at a fixed viewing angle and dynamic response at a changing viewing angle, resulting in monotonous visual effects or visual fatigue for the observer.
By using the microtext array method, an integrated microtext structure layer is fabricated by combining a transparent substrate layer, a microlens structure layer, and a vacuum coating layer. This enables control of the period difference in the arrangement of microtext and microlens units, forming a three-dimensional dynamic imaging material that allows the image to exhibit dynamic changes from different viewing angles.
It allows viewers to enjoy stable and clear 3D images from a fixed perspective, while simultaneously enabling continuous shape changes and detail switching from a changing perspective, providing dynamic interactivity and enhancing the viewer's visual experience.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of microlens three-dimensional imaging, in particular to a micro-pattern array method and a three-dimensional dynamic imaging material with micro-patterns. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, microlens three-dimensional imaging technology mainly realizes imaging through optical cooperation between a microlens array and a micro-pattern to be imaged, and presents a three-dimensional image with a floating effect or a depth of field effect in human vision. The microlens three-dimensional imaging technology has achieved certain three-dimensional visual effects, mainly including two ways of multi-array pattern dynamic imaging and single-plane stable imaging.
[0003] The array pattern dynamic imaging can enable an imaging pattern to run in the same direction following the viewing angle when viewed at different angles, and the imaging unit covers the entire effective area. Although the effect is novel, the imaging pattern is an arrayed repeated structure, and the observer's vision is prone to fatigue.
[0004] The single-plane stable imaging precisely controls the focal length of the microlens array, the arrangement period of the micro-pattern, and the alignment accuracy of the two, so that the microlens only optically converges on a single set of micro-patterns to form a stable three-dimensional pattern on the material surface that does not change at each viewing angle. However, the dynamic effect is single, and only one plane of stable imaging can be presented, which lacks visual impact.
[0005] The above two microlens three-dimensional imaging technologies cannot simultaneously satisfy fixed-angle stable imaging and variable-angle dynamic response in actual application, and therefore a new technical solution is proposed to solve the problems in the prior art. SUMMARY

[0042] The content of the present application will be further described in detail in combination with specific embodiments:
[0043] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 4-6As shown, the three-dimensional dynamic imaging material with micro-patterns comprises a transparent substrate layer 4, a micro-pattern structure layer 5, a microlens structure layer 6 and a vacuum-coated layer 7. The transparent substrate layer 4 is made of various polymer films. The micro-pattern structure layer 5 is located on one side of the transparent substrate layer 4 and comprises a plurality of integrated micro-patterns arranged in a periodic array. The integrated micro-patterns are formed by etching in a concave form. The difference between the refractive indexes of the micro-pattern structure layer 5 and the transparent substrate layer 4 is less than or equal to 0.1. The microlens structure layer 6 is located on the side of the transparent substrate layer 4 away from the micro-pattern structure layer 5. The microlens structure layer 6 is made of a UV radiation curing material, such as a photocuring resin. The difference between the refractive indexes of the microlens structure layer 6 and the transparent substrate layer 4 is less than or equal to 0.1. The vacuum-coated layer 7 is arranged on the surface of the microlens structure layer 6. The vacuum-coated layer 7 is made of a high-reflectivity medium or a combination of at least two of its oxides. The microlens structure layer 6 comprises a plurality of microlens units 61 arranged in a periodic array. The surface of the microlens unit 61 is a standard spherical surface or an aspherical surface. The structure and morphology of the microlens unit 61 meet the requirements of three-dimensional imaging. The microlens unit 61 has a specific array pattern and a specific period. The array pattern of the microlens structure layer 6 is arranged in a honeycomb array, a rectangular array or a rectangular staggered array, preferably a honeycomb array or a rectangular array. The arrangement pattern of the integrated micro-patterns is the same as that of the microlens unit 61. The distance between any two adjacent microlens units 61 is equal. The distance between any two adjacent array fragments 14 is also equal. The difference between the arrangement period of the fragment mark 15 and the arrangement period of the microlens unit 61 meets the requirements of three-dimensional imaging. The relationship between the difference and the imaging effect is where M is the magnification, Tb is the arrangement period of the fragment mark 15, and Tr is the arrangement period of the microlens unit 61. The arrangement period of the fragment mark 15 is close to the arrangement period of the microlens unit 61, but the integrated micro-patterns and the microlens unit 61 have a difference in arrangement period. The arrangement pattern of the integrated micro-patterns is the same as that of the microlens unit 61. The arrangement period of the array fragment 14 is the same as that of the microlens unit 61. The absolute value of the difference between the arrangement period Tb of the fragment mark 15 and the arrangement period Tr of the microlens unit 61 is 0.01 μm to 200 μm. When the difference Tb-Tr is positive, the imaging effect is upward. When the difference Tb-Tr is negative, the imaging effect is downward. The array direction and angle of the micro-pattern structure layer 5 and the microlens structure layer 6 are consistent. The difference in arrangement period of the integrated micro-patterns and the microlens unit 61 satisfies the proportional relationship of the Moire imaging principle. The microlens structure layer 6 is matched with the micro-pattern structure layer 5, so that the three-dimensional dynamic imaging material presents a three-dimensional dynamic image of micro-patterns changing with the viewing angle within a viewing angle range.
[0044] As shown in Figure 3As shown, the micro-pattern structure layer 5 has recesses or cavities filled with color ink 51, which is at least one of ink, metal, pigment, and dye. The integrated micro-pattern structure meets the imaging and coloring requirements: the micro-pattern structure layer 5 is composed of only a plane and recesses or cavities, the inner wall of the groove of the recess or cavity is smooth and clear, the recess or cavity region of the integrated micro-pattern has a width of 0.5-20 μm in at least one direction, and the depth of the recess or cavity is 0.5-3 μm; the distance between the color ink 51 and the vacuum-coated film layer 7, the focal length of the micro-lens unit 61 reflection imaging, and the image distance satisfy the following relationship: where f is the focal length of the micro-lens unit 61 reflection imaging, u is the distance between the color ink 51 and the vacuum-coated film layer 7, and v is the image distance, which meets the imaging law of convex lens, and the imaging height is proportional to the magnification. The relationship between the imaging height and the film thickness and the thin film refractive index is: where H is the suspension or sinking depth, D is the film thickness, and n is the thin film refractive index.
[0045] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the micro-pattern array method comprises the following steps:
[0046] S1, obtaining two or more initial micro-patterns 1, the initial micro-patterns 1 are sorted as first micro-pattern to nth micro-pattern, and each initial micro-pattern 1 is dispersed into a plurality of array fragments 14 arranged in an array, and the array fragments 14 are marked with fragment marks 15;
[0047] S2, taking at least part of the initial micro-patterns 1, and dividing each initial micro-pattern 1 into at least one sub-unit 101 in the same way, and determining the position of the sub-unit 101 of one of the initial micro-patterns 1 as a standard position;
[0048] S3, dividing the sub-unit 101 into two or more sub-micro-patterns according to a specific period difference required by three-dimensional imaging, and sorting the sub-micro-patterns as first sub-micro-pattern to nth sub-micro-pattern;
[0049] S4, sequentially fusing the nth sub-micro-pattern of the same sub-unit 101 in each nth micro-pattern according to the order of the sub-micro-patterns to form a plurality of collections 3;
[0050] S5, placing the plurality of collections 3 at the standard position to form an integrated micro-pattern, combining the integrated micro-pattern with the initial micro-patterns 1 without cutting to form an integrated micro-pattern unit, scaling the integrated micro-pattern unit according to the imaging magnification relationship to form an integrated micro-pattern, and setting different initial micro-patterns 1 in the same collection 3 to different three-dimensional imaging states.
[0051] In the above method, the integrated micrograph 3 is formed by the n-th sub-micrograph of the same sub-unit 101 in each n-th micrograph according to a specific position, a specific viewing angle and a specific proportion, the imaging state of each sub-micrograph is different, the integrated micrograph is the image of the micrograph structure layer 5, the line width of the sub-micrograph is not less than 1 μm, the line width of the integrated micrograph is not greater than 20 μm, the sub-unit 101 and the sub-micrograph are cut into regular hexagons according to the specific position required for imaging, and the sub-unit 101 and the sub-micrograph can also be mirror set according to a specific manner required for imaging.
[0052] By placing the observation material still, changing the viewing angle or rotating the material at a specific angle without changing the viewing angle, the observer will see a stereoscopic dynamic imaging changing with the viewing angle, and each angle will see a different imaging, multiple angles will see multiple images, and multiple images will be continuous when the viewing angle is changed or the material is rotated at a specific angle. Three-dimensional imaging will be seen. When observing the three-dimensional imaging of the integrated micrograph at the first angle, the first state of the integrated micrograph is displayed, that is, the three-dimensional imaging state of the first micrograph at the first angle. When observing the three-dimensional imaging of the integrated micrograph at the second angle, the second state of the integrated micrograph is displayed, that is, the three-dimensional imaging state of the second micrograph at the second angle. When observing the three-dimensional imaging of the integrated micrograph at the n-th angle, the n-th state of the integrated micrograph is displayed, that is, the three-dimensional imaging state of the n-th micrograph at the n-th angle.
