  • LCD-BLU (Liquid Crystal Display-Back Light Unit) of medium size is usually manufactured by forming numerous dots with $50{\sim}300\;{\mu}m$ in diameter by etching process and V-grove shape with $50\;{\mu}m$ in height by mechanical cutting process. However, the surface of the etched dots is very rough due to the characteristics of the etching process and V-cutting needs rather high cost. Instead of existing optical pattern made by etching and mechanical cutting, 3-dimensional continuous micro-lens of $200\;{\mu}m$ in diameter was applied in the present study. The continuous micro-lens pattern fabricated by modified LIGA with thermal reflow process was tested to this new optical design of LGP. The manufacturing process using LIGA-reflow is made up of three stages as follows: (i) the stage of lithography, (ii) the stage of thermal reflow process and (iii) the stage of electroplating. The continuous micro-lens patterned LGP was fabricated with injection molding and its test results showed the possibility of commercial use in the future.

  • Many techniques have been proposed and investigated for microlens array manufacturing in three-dimensional (3D) structures. We present fabricating a microlens array using selective laser etching and a CO2 laser. The femtosecond laser was employed to produce multiple micro-cracks that comprise the predesigned 3D structure. Subsequently, the wet etching process with a KOH solution was used to produce the primary microlens array structures. To polish the nonoptical surface to the optical surface, we performed reflow postprocessing using a CO2 laser. We confirmed that the micro lens array can be manufactured in three primary shapes (cone, pyramid and hemisphere). Compared to our previous study, the processing time required for laser processing was reduced from approximately 1 hour to less than 30 seconds using the proposed processing method. Therefore, micro lens arrays can be manufactured using our processing method and can be applied to mass productionon large surface areas.

  • MEMS 공정을 이용한 굴절렌즈 제작을 위하여, 슬릿 패턴을 갖는 마스크를 이동시키며 노광을 하는 가변 속도 이동식 마스크에 의한 노광 방법을 제안하였다. 감광제 면이 굴절렌즈의 곡면을 이루려면 감광제의 위치에 따른 노광 에너지의 분포를 조절해야 한다. 마스크의 패턴 형태와 이동 속돈 방향에 따라 감광제의 위치에 따른 노광 에너지의 분포를 이론적으로 분석하였으며, 감광제 박막에 임의의 곡면을 갖는 굴절렌즈 형상을 형성할 수 있음을 실험적으로 확인하였다. $100 {\mu}m$ 이상의 후막 감광제를 이용하거나, 혹은 곡면 형상을 갖는 얇은 감광제 형상을 마스크로 하여 이온식각을 수행하여 수백 ${\mu}m$ 정도의 최대높이를 갖는 렌즈 곡면형상을 제작 할 수 있었다.

  • Recently, expansion of micro-technology parts requires micro-precision machining technology. Micro-groove machining is important to fabricate micro-grating lens and many micro-parts such as microscope lens, fluidic graphite channel etc. Conventional groove fabrication methods such as etching and lithography have some problems in efficiency and surface integrity. But, mechanical micromachining methods using single crystal diamond tools can reduce these problems in chemical process. For this reason, microfabrication methods are expected to be very efficient, and widely studied. This study deals with machinability in micro-precision V-grooves machining of nickel plated layer using non-rotational single crystal diamond tool and 3-axis micro stages. Micro V-groove shape, chip formation and tool wear were investigated for the analysis of machinability of Ni plated layer.

  • The mathematical properties of gravitational lens equations are examined in the frame work of gravitational micro-lensing effects. The caustics of the gravitational lens may be defined in terms of "cusp" and "folding" in general. In some cases for overfocussing, however, the critical curves (caustics) have no cusp and no folding. If the observer is in the overfocussed region, he may not see any lensed image.
