Microlens array / MLA
Slimmer designs and greater efficiency for the automotive industry thanks to MLA light systems
Micro-optics and nanostructures are key technologies for new and continuously developed optical components. The lenses and structures are produced using imprint lithography, which enables high volumes and offers several advantages over conventional injection molding. The lens structures are imprinted in polymer materials, and corresponding adhesives are also available for bonding the individual wafers.
This technology is already being used in the automotive industry in the form of microlens arrays (MLA). These lens structures consist of transparent imprint materials, which are primarily used for MLAs in projection systems and headlights. The projection systems can be used to project logos, light carpets or warning signals for pedestrians and cyclists, for example. By using MLAs in headlights, the size of the entire module can be drastically reduced. In addition, MLA technology is increasingly finding its way into LiDAR and head-up displays (HUD).
DELO offers innovative solutions in the form of high-performance optical materials and adhesives specially developed for micro-optics and nanostructures. These materials help you overcome technical challenges and optimize your optical components.
Materials for micro-optics and nanostructures have to meet a wide range of requirements. DELO has developed products specifically for use in the automotive industry that are not only reliable but also highly efficient. Important properties:
