BACKGROUND

The micro-nano manufacturing is an  important field for developing the novel functional devices and systems. The researchers in the engineering center at SVG has been engaged in merging optics & nanotechnology for the innovation and application, and earned great reputation and sciencs and technolgy awards in china and abroad due to the contributions to the progresses in the micro-nano engineering. There are lots of R&D activities in the center for novel approaches of  large format fast nano-patterning, roll-to-roll nanoimprinting, nano-transferring technologies and related systems. The application fields are focused on the novel flat display & 3D imaging, nano-printing and optical security industries, the products are the functional optical films for 3Ddisplay, slim light guiding of LED's BLU, large size transparent conductive films, touch sensors and high-level security optical and holographic products.
The research center at SVG Optronics, therefore, was recognized as National United Engineering Research Center for Micro-Mano Flexible Manufacturing(CMNFM)  by the National Development & Reform Committee of China on Nove.18, 2011 due to the innovation capability and contributions to the micro-nano industrial applications.  CNMFM's goal is merge optics & nanotechnologies to promote technologies for energy-saving, environment protection, 3D display, ultra-thin  and high efficiency of opto-electro devices.
 
A new building with 6000 square meter has been built for CMNFM at SVG Optronics in the SUZHOU INDUSTRIAL PARK,where cooperated with Singapore government.
 
 
RESEARCH FIELDS
 
The researchers of the CMNFM  have been pursued the cutting edge technologies in the micro/nano flexible manufacturing and commercialization for flate display, 3D imaging, holographic products. Here, the "FLEXIBLE" means that the technologies can be modular, knowledge-intensive, scalable and quickly configured for either small or large quantity R&D and applications.
 
Four research divisions of center are as follows,
 
1. Nano-surface engineering division:  for ink-free nano-printing, optical security solutions, micro-lens array for 3D imaging and display, etc.
2. Micro/nano fabrication equipment division: for large format systems of nano-manufacturing with high efficiency & cost-effective, approaches and systems, etc. for novel 3D imaging techniques.
3. Flexible manufacturing division:  for advanced roll-to-roll nano-imprinting technologies, UV nano-imprinting on two-side of films, theholographic transferring films, etc.
4. Novel devices & films for display & lighting division: for high performance transparent conductive film(TCF) , ultra-thin light guide film(LGF) for touch panel, 3D cylindric lens and microlens films for display, etc.
 

 

RESEARCH FACILITIES

There are lots of unique mico-nano manufacturing systems in the center. The large format hybrid micro/nano patterning system can support as large as 65" nano-photonic crystal preparation. The maskless lithography system can writing 25" or more precision masks with 1 micron resolution as fast as less than 10 hours. The UV roll-to-roll nano-imprinting systems has been designed for holographic packaging materials,  flexible devices and films for display and touch panel.
 

The center's patented roll-to-roll large format manufacturing processes result in micro-optical components that are reflow compatible, low-cost and ideally suited for both high-volume and specialized applications. The center's  large format micro-nano fabrication platform enables the integration of the optics with nano-technologies and the other processing.

DEMAND-ORIENTED RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

The customized micro/nano-optics section (CMN) in the center is the pioneering world-leader in replication of large format-level micro-optics films and devices.  The excellence in the design and production of micro-optics structures on films and substrates enables SVG to produce extremely compact solutions with unmatched performance for 3D LCD, LED lighting, OLED outcoupling, optical security and bio-chip applications.
