Abstract: The present invention provides an optical part manufacturing method and an optical part manufacturing apparatus capable of manufacturing optical parts, whereby aligning an optical part with a bonded member and bonding the optical part and the bonded member can be accomplished successively, and a mold manufacturing method and a mold manufacturing apparatus capable of manufacturing a mold that is used to mold optical parts as above.

Abstract: Molded articles, such as a lens, are produced by multiple repetitions of a transfer process composed of the transformation step of bringing a transfer member (62) provided with a transfer configuration area consisting of the same configuration as that of a lens part with aspherical configuration or the configuration opposed to the lens part with aspherical configuration into contact with a photohardening resin to thereby transform the photohardening resin in conformity with the transfer configuration of the transfer member (62); the hardening step of irradiating at least a transformed area of the transformed photohardening resin with light by the use of a light irradiation unit (60) to thereby attain hardening; and the departing step of letting the photohardened resin and the transfer member depart from each other.

Abstract: There is provided a method of molding which is capable of more highly precisely molding a molded article to be molded such as a lens than conventional technologies. A molded article such as a lens array and a mold for nanoimprinting is molded by repeating multiple times a transfer step including: a transformation step of bringing a light curable composition containing a compound having a polymerizable functional group and a polymerization initiator into contact with a transfer member 62 on which a transfer shape portion shaped equally to or reversely to an aspherical lens portion 312 is formed to transform the light curable composition to the transfer shape of the transfer member 62; a curing step of irradiating at least a transformed portion of the transformed light curable composition with light by a light irradiation unit 60 to cure the light curable composition; and a separation step of separating the cured light curable composition and the transfer member.
