On the basis of the digitalization of microfluids technology,an experimental system for the drop-on-demand(DOD)jetting fabrication of micro-lens array was constructed.The UV-curable adhesive was taken as the jetting material and it was jetted on the glass substrate coated with the hydrophobic film.Then,liquid plano convex micro-droplet could be formed on the glass substrate by surface tension and hydrophobic effect,and the micro-lens array was obtained after the UV light polymerization at a room temperature.The influences of the system parameters on the stable micro-jetting and the diameter of micro-lens were researched.Results show that the UV-curable adhesive with a viscosity of 50×10-3 Pa·s can be obtained in stable micro-jetting and the micro-lens with a diameter of 25μm is prepared.Furthermore,a 15 × 15micro-lens array is obtained by experiments with the coefficient of variation diameter of 0.64%and non-uniformity of the focal length of 1.7%.The microlens shows a good surface morphology in a Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM)and its surface roughness is 247.69nm(scanning area:29.4μm×39.3μm)by the white light interferometer(VSImode)and the profile curves of the scanning area are smooth.Through the projection image experiment of the micro-lens,the clear real image of the micro-lens array is obtained.Experimental results indicate that the DOD jetting fabrication of the micro-lens array based on the digitalization of microfluids technology has advantages of simple process,low costs,stable process parameters and the microlens has good geometry and optical performance.
