Recently, polymeric microlens arrays have become important elements in many applications. Microlens arrays have been used to enhance luminance efficiency and luminance power efficiency of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and organic LEDs. Many processes for fabrication of microlens array are studied. Though the MLA has been fabricated by electroformed mold, LIGA process and reflow method, these methods were required masks, multiple process steps and post processing. In this paper, we proposed rapid and direct UV laser direct fabrication process using colorless liquid photopolymer, NOA60 for polarization activated microlens. The microlens arrays are formed on the NOA60 on glass, after the focused laser energy was irradiated to the material. The diameter of MLA was varied from 42 to 88 ${\mu}m$, and the height from 0.9 to 1.6 ${\mu}m$. The MLA fabricated using NOA60 shows more then 85% transmittance as well as good hardness for optical module.

Recently, with the development of bio-technology the interests in the micro-fluidic devices for analysis in the fields of biology and medical science have been steadily increasing. Although polymer is considered as one of the best materials for micro-fluidic devices. glass or silicon molds fabricated by photo-lithographic technique have been commonly used. However, it is generally perceived that the conventional photolithographic technique has the limitation for fabricating micro-channels for micro-fluidic devices. In this work, the possibility of fabrication of micro-fluidic channels on PDMS by using the mechano-chemical process and the effect of surface states on the fluid flow were investigated. Experimental results revealed that PDMS mold fabricated by the mechano-chemical process could be used effectively to replicate micro-fluidic channels with high reproducibility and dimensional accuracy. It was also found that the fluid flow generation and flow speed were largely affected by the hydrophilicity and the surface roughness of the micro-channel surfaces.

Immunoassay is one of the important analytical methods for clinical diagnoses and biochemical studies, but needs a long time, troublesome procedures and expensive reagents. In this study, therefore, we propose the micro filter chip with microbeads for immunoassay, which has pillar structures. The advantage of the proposed micro filter chip is to use simple fabrication process and cheap materials. The mold was made by the photolithography technique with Si wafer and negative photoresist SU-8. The replica was made of PDMS, bonded on the pyrex glass. The micro filter chip consists of inlet channel, filter chamber and outlet channel. HBV (Hepatitius B virus) monoclonal antibody (Ag1) labeled with biotin were immobilized onto streptavidin coated beads of 30∼50 $\mu$m size. Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled HBV monoclonal antibody (Ag8) was used to detect HBsAg (Hebatitis B virus surface Antigen), and fluorescence intensity was monitored by epi-fluorescence microscope. In this study, the immune response of less than 30 min was obtained with with the use of 100 $m\ell$ of sample.

A flat fluorescent lamp (FFL) developed as a light source for LCD TV backlight was used as a light source for general lighting application and its electro-optical characteristics were measured and evaluated. The channels of FFL were formed from a flat glass at high temperature by using a mold. The performance of FFL with lighting future was shown to improve by optimizing the channel profile of FFL. In this paper, the brightness efficiency of FFL with lighting fixture was evaluated and compared with that of the hot cathode fluorescent lamp (HCFL), the major light source for general lighting. The optical efficiency of FFL with future was shown to be 72.7[1m/W].

The control of the number and dimension of nanowires is essential for dielectrophoretic(DEP) nanoscale assembly process. However, it is difficult to control the number of nanowires assembled between the electrodes. We have developed a nanowire diluter device, which consists of a glass substrate with gold electrodes and a PDMS layer with microchannel. The diluter device is fabricated by the conventional and soft lithographies using a SU-8 mold. Nickel nanowires (30${\mu}m$-long) are fabricated by a template-directed electrodeposition process using nanoporous alumina templates. A solution containing nanowires is injected into an inlet whereby pulsed voltages are applied to 16 pairs of electrodes in this experiment. The nanowires are trapped or released depending on the pulsed electric field from inlet to outlet (the channel). Therefore, the number of nanowires can be decreased correspondingly if the fixed frequency at each electrode is decreased from electrode to electrode.

The design of a telecentric f-${\theta}$ lens with a field of view (FOV) $30^{\circ}$ and an effective focal length of 1000mm is presented. The optical stop is placed at the front plane and the design is based on a geometric ray tracing technique, and the designed system consists of a series of convex and concave lenses. The designed f-${\theta}$ lens showed a considerable reduction in weight with a simplified structure and resulted in a good performance in the designated FOV. Detail analysis of rays is also presented. 653nm (red laser), 586nm (green laser), and 468nm (blue laser) were simulated as a light source and image illuminating source. The developed optical design requires 7 pieces of lenses made of SF1, N-FK56, N-LAK33, and BK7 glass materials. With optimal parametric design, the effective focal length was calculated to be 974.839mm which is very close to the initial design target. For the manufacturing purpose, the dimensions of lens curvature and thickness were truncated with error ranging 0.1% to 3.2%. As a result, the overall error was calculated to be 3.2% which can be still tolerable for display, laser material, and machining processing.

A novel joining technology was developed to compensate the camber in polymers. The preheating laser beam circulates on the joining location and the accumulated heat serves to increase the flexibility of neighboring polymers. The temperature rises up to the glass transient temperature of the polymers and continually loading spring force closes the gap of camber. The irradiated laser was 808nm central wavelength and the power varied between 2Watt and 5Watt. The laps were adjusted between 3 and 10 and the optimum process parameters were 3Watt and 5 laps for the specific application. An FEM analysis was introduced to understand the mechanism of joining by the transient temperature distribution on the polymers. Thermocouples experiments were also tried to correlate the numerical analysis results and it showed the trend of heat accumulation in experiments.
