Micro light-emitting diodes (μLEDs) have been utilized in various fields such as displays, and smart devices, due to their superior stabilities. Since the applications of the μLEDs have been extended to medical devices and wearable sensors, excellent optical properties and uniformity of the μLEDs are important. Hence, several researchers have investigated to enhance the optical efficiency of the μLEDs through micro/nano lens. However, the reported methods for realizing the micro/nano lens have some drawbacks such as complex and high-cost manufacturing processes. Herein, we developed μLEDs with 3D-printed hydrogel microlenses. The printed hydrogel had high transparency and excellent adhesive strength, allowing it to attach onto top surface of the μLEDs without any additional adhesives. Microscale printing technology using a 3D printer achieved quick and fine printing in desired shapes and arrangements, showing the possibility of mass production. The 3D-printed microlens can be applied to improve not only the optical properties of μLEDs but also other optical devices.
