  • Publication number: 20190049700
    Abstract: An imaging lens of the present disclosure includes, in order from object side toward image plane side, a first lens having a meniscus shape, the meniscus shape having a shape that is positioned near an optical axis and includes a convex surface that faces the object side, a second lens including a convex surface that faces, near the optical axis, the object side, and having, near the optical axis, positive refractive power, a third lens having, near the optical axis, negative refractive power, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens having, near the optical axis, positive refractive power, and a seventh lens having, near the optical axis, negative refractive power, and including a lens surface, the lens surface being positioned on the image plane side, and having an aspherical shape that has an inflection point.

  • Patent number: 10025074
    Abstract: An imaging lens according to the disclosure includes a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, and a sixth lens. The first lens includes a meniscus lens that has a convex surface facing object side and has positive refractive power near an optical axis. The second lens has a convex surface facing the object side and has negative refractive power near the optical axis. The third lens has positive refractive power near the optical axis. The fifth lens has positive refractive power near the optical axis. The sixth lens has negative refractive power near the optical axis and has an aspheric surface on the image plane side. The aspheric surface has an inflection point. The first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, the fifth lens, and the sixth lens are disposed in order from the object side toward the image plane side. The imaging lens satisfies the following conditional expressions. f/f5<1??(1) ?0.

  • Patent number: 7861624
    Abstract: A mold material is mounted on a mold material mount portion of a cutting/working apparatus and rotated about the C-axis serving as the rotation center while a cutting tool is driven and moved in directions X and Y. Then, a desired position of the mold material is cut with the cutting tool at a relatively formed desired cutting speed and elliptically vibrated/cut with the cutting tool, for forming a Fresnel lens molding cavity having an opening of a desired shape and a working surface (concave surface, for example) of a desired shape. The productivity of an optical component mold employed as the structure can be efficiently improved when the mold for molding an optical component such as a Fresnel lens is worked by cutting the mold material employed as a workpiece with the cutting tool in a four-spindle lathe-type cutting/working apparatus including X-, Y-, Z- and C-axes of rotation.

  • Publication number: 20080121078
    Abstract: In a method of working a structure, a mold material is mounted on a mold material mount portion of a cutting/working apparatus and rotated about the C-axis serving as the rotation center while a cutting tool is driven and moved in directions X and Y. Then, a desired position of the mold material is cut with the cutting tool at a relatively formed desired cutting speed and elliptically vibrated/cut with the cutting tool, for forming a Fresnel lens molding cavity having an opening of a desired shape and a working surface (concave surface, for example) of a desired shape. According to this method, the productivity of an optical component mold employed as the structure can be efficiently improved when the mold for molding an optical component such as a Fresnel lens is worked by cutting the mold material employed as a workpiece with the cutting tool in a four-spindle lathe-type cutting/working apparatus including X-, Y-, Z- and C-axes of rotation.
