ADVANTAGES OF MicroLens™ TECHNOLOGY FOR LIGHT EXTRACTION

 

MicroLens™ PATTERN DESIGN PARAMETERS:

DEPTH

  • MicroLens depths can be controlled to within +/- 2um permitting a high degree of control throughout the panel.

SHAPE

  • The angle of the reflective surface(s) for the MicroLens can be chosen to customize the angles from which the light rays exit the light guide.

DENSITY

  • Can be continuously and precisely varied to maximize brightness and optimize uniformity in 2 Dimensions.

RANDOMIZATION

  • Randomization can be introduced into MicroLens patterns to improve moiré or other undesirable visual effects.

TOP SHAPES

  • MicroLens or other light extracting features can be populated on the top (exit) surface of the light guide to maximize brightness.

ORIENTATION OR ANGLE/ROTATION

  • Light extraction features can be distributed, arranged, and optimized to work with almost any light source location.

MicroLens Versus Printed,
Chemical, Laser Etched or V-cut

  • Greater Control
  • Higher Efficency
  • Higher Repeatability
