Abstract: The present invention discloses a microlens array sheet of a projection screen including a lens sheet having a predetermined area, microlenses arranged on one surface of the lens sheet in the horizontal and vertical directions, a black matrix including apertures corresponding to the microlenses, and being adhered to the other surface of the lens sheet, an optical diffusing layer formed on the lens sheet to cover the black matrix, for widening a viewing angle, and a protecting film for protecting the optical diffusing layer. The microlens array sheet of the projection screen is manufactured by using a process for manufacturing a semiconductor device, a reflow process and a plating process for a mold, thereby improving luminance and definition of the projection screen at a low unit cost of production.

Abstract: An aspherical microlens arrays comprise a base, and a plurality of aspherical microlens arranged on the base and having different curvature radiuse and conic coefficient respectively, along two orthogonal axes on the base perpendicular to an optical axis, by which a degree of refraction, namely, a numerical aperture can be easily adjusted depending on each axial direction, a spherical aberration can be reduced, and concentration efficiency can be improved. In addition, in case of applying the aspherical microlens arrays to a projection screen, an image sensor, or the like, it is advantageous to improve sensitivity and resolution thereof.

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.

The microlens array sheet comprises: a transparent substrate to be arrayed with microlenses; bases formed on the transparent substrate to a height determined by a user, the bases being formed at the same positions as microlenses to be formed later; microlenses formed on the bases; and a gap-filling film applied on the resulting structure, in which the bases have the same height as a result of a planarization process conducted for the upper portion of the bases.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a microlens array sheet having a black matrix and a method for manufacturing the same. The manufacturing method includes a) the step of defining the regions of light apertures, through which condensed light passes, in a negative-type light-sensitive resin layer by radiating and condensing parallel light after sequentially laying a microlens array layer, a transparent support substrate or film layer and the negative-type light-sensitive resin layer one on top of another, and b) eliminating portions other than the regions of the light apertures formed in the light-sensitive resin layer, and forming a black matrix layer in regions where the portions have been eliminated.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a projection screen having a microlens array. The projection screen includes a substrate, a light blocking layer, a light diffusion layer, and a protection layer. The substrate is formed to mount a plurality of microlenses thereon. A microlens array is formed of the microlenses that are arranged and formed on the entire surface of the substrate. The light blocking layer is formed on the rear of the surface on which the microlens array of the substrate is formed. The light diffusion layer is formed on the bottom of the light blocking layer. The protection layer is formed on the bottom of the light diffusion layer.
