Abstract

The embossing stress and demolding temperature in the manufacturing process of the gapless hexagonal microlens array by hot embossing process are studied for large-scale manufacturing. The stress change of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) in the gapless hexagonal microlens array embossing process is simulated by finite element method. Influencing factors of adhesion strength between mold and PMMA are analyzed. The analysis results show that the normal stress decreases and reaches the lowest level at last when the demolding temperature reduces. The adhesion strength declines as the demolding temperature decreases. When the demolding temperature drops to 20°C, the height fidelity of embossing specimen reaches 94.7%, and embossing defects are eliminated in a large scale.
