Abstract
A mask structure and a manufacturing method of the mask structure are provided. The mask structure includes a transparent substrate, a patterned metal layer, and a plurality of microlens structures. The patterned metal layer is disposed on the transparent substrate and exposing a portion of the transparent substrate. The microlens structures are disposed on the transparent substrate exposed by a portion of the patterned metal layer and being in contact with the portion of the patterned metal layer.
Claims4
A mask structure, comprising:
- a transparent substrate;
- a patterned metal layer having an upper surface and an opposite lower surface, wherein the lower surface is disposed on the transparent substrate and the patterned metal layer exposes a portion of the transparent substrate;
- and
- a plurality of microlens structures, disposed on the transparent substrate exposed by a portion of the patterned metal layer and being in contact with a portion of the upper surface of the patterned metal layer and the portion of the transparent substrate exposed by the patterned metal layer,
- wherein a radius of curvature and a focus exposure depth of the microlens structures are in a proportional relationship.
A manufacturing method of a mask structure, comprising:
- providing a transparent substrate;
- forming a patterned metal layer on the transparent substrate, wherein the patterned metal layer has an upper surface and an opposite lower surface, the lower surface is disposed on the transparent substrate and the patterned metal layer exposes a portion of the transparent substrate;
- and
- after the step of forming the patterned metal layer, forming a plurality of microlens structures on the transparent substrate exposed by a portion of the patterned metal layer and being in contact with a portion of the upper surface of the patterned metal layer,
- wherein a radius of curvature and a focus exposure depth of the microlens structures are in a proportional relationship,
