  • Microlens cells of Ge-doped BPSG (Boro-Phospho-Silicate Glass) are fabricated by dicing the film produced by FHD (Flame Hydrolysis Deposition). Microlens arrays of $53.4{\mu}m$ square unit are produced by the thermal reflow of the diced unit cells at $1200^{\circ}C$. The gap between the microlenses was about $70{\mu}m,$ and the thickness of the produced lens was about $28.4{\mu}m$. We analyzed the reflowed shape of the microlens cell by an image-process technique, and the focal length was about $62.2{\mu}m$. This method of fabricating a microlens is simple and inexpensive compared to the conventional method using the photolithographic process. Also, the control of the radius of curvature of the microlens is easier and a more precise microlens way of various types can be fabricated using this method.

  • We have investigated the acceptance angle and imaging performance of a curved artificial compound eye (ACE), depending on the sag height of the microlens array to maximize its sensitivity to light. When the h/r values increased from 0.22 to 0.37, the acceptance angle of the curved ACE was expanded from 28.70° to 49.02°, which is an enhancement by 70.8%. With the designed optical system, it was demonstrated that a microlens located at the 23rd position from the center of the main lens could still focus an incident beam tilted at 56.35°, so that the letter F was clearly observed.

  • There have been many technologies and materials proposed for realizing microlens array, and plastic injection is recognized as the most promising one because of several merits such as optical properties, impact resistance, formability, lightening and environmental adaptability. Since PR reflow for injection template fabrication enables the lens shape control easier, and the sample technology more effective for mass production, it lowers the cost, enhances integration, and reduces process steps, which leads to be environmentally benign. However injection of polymers may face the difficulty of formability depending on their properties. In order to overcome the difficulty, fast heating/cooling technology was introduced in this study, and microlenses were fabricated and evaluated. template obtained by PR reflow method was heated and cooled fast during injection to fabricate microlens array. PC and PMMA polymer materials were compared, and it was realized that PMMA showed much better formability due to its lower melting temperature. Injection parameters of pressures and velocities were driven out for injection optimization.

  • Microlens array as basic element of the optical system have been fabricated with various focal length (mainly with long focal length) depending on the purpose of application. In this paper, the microlens arrays were fabricated for observing fluorescent images within sol-gel. Though the fluorescent signal is very low, the microlens array can help obtaining clear images through extracting the fluorescent light from sol-gel. We fabricated microlens arrays with short focal length, which can extract the light using photoresist thermal reflow method. In the experiment, the diameter of microlens decreased after thermal reflow because the solvent within the photoresist was vaporized. Therefore, to compensate the shape error by this reduction, microlens diameter in photomask was altered and spin-coat recipe of photoresist were modified.

  • Outcoupling efficiency of the OLED device is improved by incorporating both a microlens array and a diffractive grating pattern. The microlens array improves the light transmission at the interface of glass and air, and the diffractive grating outcouples the guided mode propagating at the waveguide, which consists of ITO and organic layers. By using the PDMS soft mold imprinting method, the microlens array is fabricated on the glass substrate. The diffractive grating pattern is directly fabricated on the ITO surface by using laser interferometry. A microlens array with a diameter of $10{\mu}m$ improves the light coupling efficiency by 22%. The diffractive grating made of TSMR photoresist enhances the luminance power efficiency by 41% at a current density of $20mA/cm^2$.

  • 카메라 센서의 한계로 인하여 촬영 장면에 따라 한 번의 촬영으로 모든 영역의 밝기가 적절하게 촬영되지 않는 경우가 존재한다. 이러한 센서의 한계는 하이 다이나믹 레인지 이미징 기술을 통해서 극복이 가능하다. 한 장면을 다양한 노출 설정으로 여러 번 촬영하는 브라케팅은 움직이는 피사체를 찍기에 적절하지 않으며 촬영 시간이 길다는 단점이 있다. 본 연구는 한 번의 촬영으로 서로 다른 노출의 이미지를 얻을 수 있는 소형 라이트필드 카메라를 제안한다. 라이트필드 카메라는 대표적으로 두 가지 형태가 있는데, 첫 번째는 여러 대의 카메라를 어레이로 배치한 라이트필드 카메라 시스템이며, 두 번째는 대물렌즈 뒤에 마이크로 렌즈 어레이를 배치한 카메라이다. 본 연구에서 제작된 초박형 라이트필드 카메라는 센서 위에 마이크로 렌즈어레이가 부착되어있는 형태의 카메라로 각 렌즈 조리개 크기를 다르게 설계하여 한 번의 촬영으로 다른 노출의 촬영 결과를 얻을 수 있게 설계되었다. 촬영된 단일 영상들을 전처리 하여 이미지 품질을 높인 이후, HDR 알고리즘을 통해 각 단일 이미지들보다 다이나믹 레인지가 넓은 이미지를 획득하도록 구현하였다. 또한 노출 시간을 기준으로 설계된 식을 수정하여 조리개값에 따라 다른 가중치를 둘 수 있도록 바꾸었고, 이를 통해 단 한 번의 촬영을 통한 HDR 이미징을 구현하였다.

  • Glass micro molding process is the most suitable process for fabricating high precision glass microlens amy at low cost. A new glass micro molding process was proposed. Tungsten carbide mold was fabricated by imprinting and sintering process to overcome the difficulties of the conventional process. In the glass micro molding process, process conditions such as processing temperature and compression force were changed. Geometrical properties of the replicated glass microlens array were measured and compared at variety process conditions. The condition of glass micro molding process was optimized. The experimental result showed that developed process was effective to produce a glass microlens array.

  • We demonstrated roll-to-roll microcontact printed (mCP) microlens array (MLA) to enhance the light extraction of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). The commercially provided microlens array is used as a template for polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) roll stamp. The fluorinated film is formed on the PDMS roll stamp from fluorinated ink with low boiling point and printed onto the bottom side of the organic light emitting diode without high pressure and high thermal treatment. With optimized concentration of ink, the pattern which is almost identical to that of the template MLA was successfully printed. Due to the structure and low optical absorbance of microcontact printed MLA, the external quantum efficiency of OLED was improved by about 18%.
