Microlens patterned micro-mold fabrication method for Light Guiding Plate(LGP), kernel part of LCD-BLU(Back Light Unit), was presented. Instead of erosion dot pattern for LCP optical design, microlens pattern, fabricated by LIGA-reflow process, was applied. Optical pattern design method was also developed not only for negative pattern LGP, but also positive pattern LGP. In order to achieve flow balance during the micro-injection molding process and dimensional accuracy, two LGP pattern was made in one micro-mold.

Micro-lens patterned micro-mold fabrication method for Light Guiding Plate(LGP), kernel part of LCD-BLU(Back Light Unit), was presented. Instead of erosion dot pattern for LGP optical design, micro-lens pattern, fabricated by LIGA-reflow process, was applied. Optical pattern design method was also developed not only for negative pattern LGP, but also positive pattern LGP. During injection molding process, experimental study was conducted to improve replication quality and brightness of ${\sim}50um$ micro-lens pattern mold. The effect of mold temperature for the replication quality of micro-lens array was studied.

본 논문에서는 광생물 반응기의 조명 시스템으로 활용될 LED(Light-Emitting Diode)용 도광판의 광학설계 및 제작 결과에 대해 보고한다. 도광판 설계를 위해 광원, 반사필름, 도광판 패턴에 대한 모델링을 수행하였다. 특히, 도광판 패턴의 경우 램버시안 산란체(Lambertian Scatterer)로 모델링을 수행하였는데, 테스트용으로 제작된 도광판의 조도분포와 부합하는 모델 파라미터(반사율, 산란체의 폭)를 매칭 시뮬레이션을 통하여 추출하였다. 추출된 모델 파라미터를 사용하여 광학설계를 수행하였으며, CNC(Computer Numerical Control) 가공을 통해 도광판을 제작하였고, 평균조도와 조도균일도 등의 광학 특성을 측정하였다.

Recently, many researches have been done to improve optical performance of LCD-BLU(Back Light Unit). One of the most important parts in LCD-BLU is LGP(Light Guiding Plate). Micro-patterned LGP is known to have different optical characteristics depending on their shape, pattern density and size, etc. In the present study, a micro-optical patterned LGP mold was fabricated using LiGA process. The difference in the optical characteristics between positive and negative patterned LGP's was investigated by fixing the density, location and size of each pattern. It was found that the negative patterned LGP showed better optical characteristics than positive one.

A light guiding plate (LGP) with nanometer-sized patterns was fabricated by injection molding method which employed electrically healed mold and the transcription of injection-molded parts was investigated. A Ni stamper was fabricated using MEMS technology. The Ni stamper was then installed in a movable heated core which is a key part of the mold. Using this mold, injection-molded plastic LGP parts were manufactured at different mold temperatures and the effect of the temperature on the transcription of the parts was investigated.

본 논문에서는 광생물 반응기의 조명 시스템에 적용할 수 있는 LED(Light-Emitting Diode)와 태양광 하이브리드 광원을 이용한 도광판의 설계 및 제작 결과에 대해 보고한다. LED용 도광판 패턴을 설계하고 기존에 보고된 태양광용 도광판에 함께 중첩하여 가공하였다. 하이브리드 도광판의 출력 PFD(Photon Flux Density)를 일정하게 유지시켜주기 위한 제어 시스템을 제작하였으며, 출력 PFD 목표값을 $70{\mu}E/(m^2{\cdot}s)$로 설정하였을 경우 오차범위 ${\pm}2%$ 이내에서 제어가 이루어짐을 확인하였다.

LGP (Light Guiding Plate) of LCD-BLU (Liquid Crystal Display - Back Light Unit) is one of the major components that affect the product quality of LCD. The optical patterns of LGP(2.2") molds are fabricated by three different methods, namely, (1) laser ablation, (2) chemical etching and (3) LiGA-reflow, respectively. The characteristics of surface patterns and roughnesses of molds and injection molded parts were compared to evaluate the optical characteristics. The optical patterns of injection molded LGP with mold fabricated by LiGA - reflow method showed the best geometric structure. The surface roughness (Ra) of LGP#s with molds fabricated by (1) laser ablation: $Ra={\sim}31nm$, (2) chemical etching: $Ra={\sim}22nm$, and (3) LiGA-reflow: $Ra={\sim}4nm$.

LCD-BLU (Liquid Crystal Display - Back Light Unit) is one of kernel parts of LCD unit and it consists of several optical sheets(such as prism, diffuser and protector sheets), LGP (Light Guiding Plate), light source (CCFL or LED) and mold frame. The LGP of LCD-BLU is usually manufactured by forming numerous dots with $50{\sim}200$ um in diameter on it by etching process. But the surface of the etched dots of LGP is very rough due to the characteristics of the etching process during the mold fabrication, so that its light loss is high along with the dispersion of light into the surface. Accordingly, there is a limit in raising the luminance of LCD-BLU. In order to overcome the limit of current etched dot patterned LGP, optical pattern design with 50um micro-lens was applied in the present study. The micro-lens pattern fabricated by modified LiGA with thermal reflow process was applied to the optical design of LGP. The attention was paid to the effects of different aspect ratio (i.e. $0.2{\sim}0.5$) of optical pattern conditions to the brightness distribution of BLU with micro-lens patterned LGP. Finally, high aspect ratio micro-lens patterned LGP showed superior results to the one made by low aspect ratio in average luminance.
