  • Patent number: 7268949
    Abstract: A microlens array sheet and a manufacturing method thereof. The microlens array sheet comprises: a transparent substrate; bases formed on the transparent substrate, the bases having the same height as a result of a planarization process conducted for the upper portions of the bases, microlenses formed on the bases; and a gap-filling film applied on the resulting structure, in which the bases have the same height. The method comprises the steps of: depositing base-forming molds on a transparent support substrate or film and loading a material to be used as bases between the base-forming molds; polishing the upper portion of the material for use as bases so as to form bases having the same level, and removing the base-forming molds; depositing microlenses on the formed bases; and depositing a gap-filling film on the resulting structure.

  • Patent number: 7123791
    Abstract: An optical fiber coupling system is provided which minimizes beam loss. The system includes a substrate with a laser beam emitting unit attached at one end, a first fine lens which focuses or collimates a vertical beam emitted by the laser beam emitting unit, a set of second fine lenses which focus or collimate a horizontal beam emitted by the laser beam emitting unit, and a beam output unit which outputs the beam focused or collimated by the first and second fine lenses. This arrangement reduces an alignment error associated with this type of optical system and improves a degree of beam focus. Additionally, the optical fiber coupling system can be made compact and available for mass-production.

  • Publication number: 20060126185
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a microlens array sheet using micro machining and a method for manufacturing the same. The microlens array sheet comprises a microlens array having a convex and concave surface including curved portions and boundary grooves formed between respective neighboring microlenses via laser micro machining, and a void filler layer stacked on the microlens array. The microlens array sheet can be manufactured with a reduced number of process steps using laser micro machining, whereby improved productivity as compared to a conventional sequential semiconductor process can be accomplished. Using the laser micro machining, also, enables the manufacture of a desired three-dimensional micro shape. Therefore, the microlens array sheet is applicable as an optical sheet of a display system requiring a delicate surface shape.
