  • Publication number: 20180282541
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a polycarbonate resin composition for a thin optical component, which polycarbonate resin composition has favorable fluidity as well as excellent strength. This object is achieved by a polycarbonate resin composition for a thin optical component, which composition contains: 100 parts by mass of an aromatic polycarbonate resin (A) having a viscosity average molecular weight (Mv) of 10,000 to 15,000; and 2 to 100 parts by mass of an aromatic polycarbonate copolymer (B) including a carbonate structural unit (i) represented by a particular Formula (1) and a carbonate structural unit (ii) represented by a particular Formula (2), wherein the ratio of the carbonate structural unit (i) to a total of 100 mol % of the carbonate structural unit (i) and the carbonate structural unit (ii) in the aromatic polycarbonate copolymer (B) is more than 10 mol % and less than 39 mol %.
