  • Patent number: 10814532
    Abstract: A resin-molding device capable of preventing a resin-molded product from being non-uniform in thickness. A resin-molding device includes: a first and second platen (outside-loaded platen) which are two plate-shaped members arranged parallel to each other to allow a molding die to be arranged in a die arrangement section which is a central region between the platens; a force applier (toggle link and tie bars) for applying a force to the platens from loading points located outside the die arrangement section; a heating mechanism (lower and upper heater plates) provided between the outside-loaded platen and the molding die; and a heat-insulating member (lower and upper heat-insulating members) formed by a plurality of elastic pillar members arranged between the outside-loaded platen and the heating mechanism, the pillar members configured so that the amount of deformation of each pillar member increases from the center of the die arrangement section toward the loading point.

  • Patent number: 8771563
    Abstract: There is provided a method of sealing and molding an optical device with resin by employing a die including a top piece, a bottom piece, an intermediate piece, and a mold release film pinched between the bottom and intermediate pieces. Thus, tensioned as prescribed to cover the bottom piece's cavity, when the bottom piece is heated, the mold release film expands and thus closely contacts the cavity's entire surface along the cavity's geometry so that the optical device can be sealed in transparent set resin shaped as desired.

  • Publication number: 20100065983
    Abstract: A method of compression-molding light emitting elements is provided, which can efficiently prevent the formation of a resin burr on a frame on which LED chips (light-emitting elements) are mounted. A tape for resin burr prevention is adhered to a surface of the frame, i.e. the surface on which no light-emitting element is mounted, to form a tape-applied frame. The tape-applied frame is supplied and set onto a setting section of an upper die, with the LED chips directed downwards. A required amount of transparent liquid resin material is dripped by a dispenser into a large cavity including small cavities. Then, both the upper and lower dies are clamped with a required clamping pressure, whereby the LED chips are individually immersed in the resin contained in the small cavities inside the large cavity and compression-molded to form a molded frame (light emitters).

  • Publication number: 20100006215
    Abstract: The manufacturing efficiency of a light emitter (product) having a lens member and a light emitting device is efficiently improved. With a molding die for forming a light emitter, a frame before the molding and bonding process, with a required number of light-emitting devices mounted thereon, is set on a setting section provided in an upper die. A required amount of transparent liquid resin material is supplied by a dispenser into each of cavities of cavity blocks provided in a lower die in correspondence to the light-emitting devices, respectively. A molding die is closed so as to elastically press the mouths of the cavities onto the light emission surfaces of the light emitting devices, respectively.

  • Publication number: 20090091048
    Abstract: A top mold capable of holding a substrate and a bottom mold including a cavity having a molding portion corresponding to a geometry of a lens are prepared. Then the substrate with a plurality of chips mounted thereon is fixed to the top mold. Then a translucent resin material is introduced into the cavity and alters to be molten resin. Then the top mold and the bottom mold are closed together to immerse the plurality of chips in the molten resin and also distribute the molten resin in the cavity uniformly. Then the molten resin alters to be a translucent mold product to provide a lens member. Subsequently the top mold and the bottom mold are opened to detach from the bottom mold the substrate bearing the lens member. Then the substrate bearing the lens member is removed from the top mold.
