TI  - Microlens Fabrication by Replica Molding of Electro-Hydrodynamic Printing Liquid 
      Mold.

AB  - In this paper, we synergistically combine electrohydrodynamic (EHD) printing and 
      replica molding for the fabrication of microlenses. Glycerol solution 
      microdroplets was sprayed onto the ITO glass to form liquid mold by an EHD 
      printing process. The liquid mold is used as a master to fabricate a 
      polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) mold. Finally, the desired micro-optical device can 
      be fabricated on any substrate using a PDMS soft lithography mold. We demonstrate 
      our strategy by generating microlenses of photocurable polymers and by 
      characterizing their optical properties. It is a new method to rapidly and 
      cost-effectively fabricate molds with small diameters by exploiting the 
      advantages of EHD printing, while maintaining the parallel nature of 
      soft-lithography.
