Dielectric Liquid Microlens Array with Tunable Focal Length Based on Microdroplet Array Created via Dip-Coating Method
A dielectric liquid microlens array (LMA) with a tunable focal length was fabricated by using a microdroplet array generated through the dip-coating method. The process began with treating the octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) layer with selective UV/O3 irradiation for 20 min to establish a hydrophilic-hydrophobic patterning surface. The substrate was subsequently immersed in glycerol and then withdrawn at a constant rate to create a microdroplet array. Upon filling the cell with matching oil (SL5267) and placing it within a square array of a 200 μm diameter glycerol microdroplet array, the LMA was produced. The focal length ranged from approximately -0.96 to -0.3 mm within a voltage range of 0 to 60 Vrms. The glycerol microdroplets, characterized by their shapes, sizes, curvatures, and filling factors, can be precisely controlled by designing an OTS patterning or adjusting the dip-coating speed. This approach offers a rapid and high-throughput method for preparation. Our approach to fabricating tunable LMA offers several advantages, including simplicity of fabrication, uniform structural properties, cost-effectiveness, polarization independence, and excellent optical performance. These focus-tunable LMAs hold significant potential for applications in image processing, 3D displays, medical endoscopy, and military technologies.
