Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the precision manufacturing technical field of optical device, concretely is a wafer level nanoimprint structure of optical array lens. BACKGROUND

[0002] The manufacture of optical array lens is a complex and delicate process that requires extremely high precision and strict quality control to ensure the optical performance and reliability of the final product. The core of this manufacturing process lies in precisely replicating fine micro-nano patterns onto optical glass substrates using a precisely designed imprint mold. This process involves the precision of the mold, the uniformity of the material, and the precise control of the imprint parameters. Subsequently, through the dispensing process, the optical glass with the replicated pattern is bonded with another optical glass with a specific optical surface type to form a complete optical array lens. This step not only requires the uniformity and precision of dispensing, but also needs to ensure the close fit between the two optical glasses to avoid loss of optical performance.

[0003] However, in actual operation, this process often faces a series of technical challenges, the most prominent of which is the problem of bubbles and glue overflow. The presence of bubbles can seriously damage the optical uniformity of the lens, leading to light scattering and a decrease in optical performance. Glue overflow may contaminate the lens surface, affecting light transmission and aesthetics, and even causing the lens to be scrapped. These technical challenges not only reduce the yield of the product, increase the manufacturing cost, but also may cause irreversible damage to the optical performance of the final lens.

[0004] In view of these technical challenges, existing technologies have proposed some solutions, but there are still some drawbacks. For example, for the bubble problem, some methods use vacuum treatment or ultrasonic vibration to remove bubbles, but these methods may introduce new contamination or damage the surface of the optical glass. In addition, these methods have limited effect on the removal of small bubbles, and it is difficult to completely solve the bubble problem. For the glue overflow problem, some methods control the amount of glue by optimizing the dispensing parameters or using precise dispensing equipment, but these methods often require high-precision equipment and complex operation processes, increasing the manufacturing cost and difficulty.
