Sub-wavelength antireflection moth-eye structures were fabricated with Nickel mold using Roll-to-Plate (R2P) ultraviolet nanoimprint lithography (UV-NIL) on transparent polycarbonate (PC) substrates. Samples with well replicated patterns established an average reflection of 1.21% in the visible light range, 380 to 760 nm, at normal incidence. An excellent antireflection property of a wide range of incidence angles was shown with the average reflection below 4% at 50°. Compared with the unpatterned ultraviolet-curable resin coating, the resulting sub-wavelength moth-eye structure also exhibited increased hydrophobicity in addition to antireflection. This R2P method is especially suitable for large-area product preparation and the biomimetic moth-eye structure with multiple performances can be applied to optical devices such as display screens, solar cells, or light emitting diodes.
采用 Roll-to-Plate(R2P)紫外纳米压印光刻(UV-NIL)在透明聚碳酸酯(PC)衬底上用镍模具制备了亚波长抗反射 moth-eye 结构。具有良好复制图案的样品在可见光范围内(380 至 760nm)建立了平均反射率为 1.21%,入射角为 0。显示出宽入射角范围的优异抗反射性能,在 50°时平均反射率低于 4%。与未图案化的紫外光固化树脂涂层相比,所得亚波长 moth-eye 结构除了抗反射外还表现出增加的疏水性。这种 R2P 方法特别适用于大面积产品制备,并且具有多种性能的仿生 moth-eye 结构可以应用于显示屏幕、太阳能电池或发光二极管等光学器件。
