Abstract
In order to cope with the requirements of smaller patterns, larger surfaces and lower costs in the fields of displays, optics and energy, greater attentions are now being paid to the development of micro-pattern machining technology. Compared with flat moulds, large drums with micro patterns (roll moulds) have the advantages of short delivery, ease of manufacturing larger surfaces, and continuous moulding. This paper introduced the machining process technology of the roll moulds for display industry. The environmental effects were discussed and the importance of temperature maintenance was experimentally emphasized. The real time monitoring system for micro machining was introduced. A commercial solution was used to simulate the micro grooving and a deformation model of micro machined pattern was finally introduced.
