  • Publication number: 20110194019
    Abstract: A single-piece optical imaging lens and an array thereof are revealed. The optical imaging lens includes a lens and an image sensor arranged at an image-side surface of the lens. The lens includes an object-side surface, an image-side surface, an optical area, and a non-optical area. The optical imaging lens satisfies the following conditions: BFL/TTL=0.55˜0.81, OH/OD=1.0˜3.6. TTL is total length from the object-side surface of the lens on the optical axis to the image sensor. BFL is back focal length of the imaging lens. OD is the distance between an object on the optical axis and the object-side surface of the lens. OH is the largest height of an object vertical to the optical axis of OD. The single-piece optical imaging lens array is used to produce a plurality of single-piece optical imaging lenses by cutting.

  • Patent number: 7965445
    Abstract: A high SAG optical lens and method for fast molding the same is disclosed, in which an optical lens is a single optical lens or an optical lens array formed by placing optical material between an upper mold and a lower mold for molding by heating and pressing processes; a formed rim is molded at the joint of the optical surface and the lens flange simultaneously. Therefore, it is convenient to fabricate the optical lens with high SAG and can eliminate the ghost phenomena effect occurring at the edge of the optical surface and the lens flange. Furthermore, since the feature of squeezing the melted optical material by the formed rim during the molding process, fast molding process can be successfully achieved.

  • Patent number: 7944630
    Abstract: A lens holder of a stacked lens module and a manufacturing method thereof are revealed. A stacked lens submodule is used as a molded molding insert to be set into a mold cavity. The molding insert is aligned in the alignment fixture and the clamp of the mold by injection molding or press molding. After molding process, a lens module included the stacked lens submodule as well as the lens holder is formed. Thereby the manufacturing method of conventional lens assemblies or lens modules is improved. Moreover, the processes are simplified and the yield rate is increased. Furthermore, the molded lens module is packed into the lens more easily so that it is suitable to be applied to camera lenses, small lenses and mobile phone lenses.

  • Patent number: 7944633
    Abstract: A lens holder for alignment of a stacked lens module and a manufacturing method thereof are revealed. A stacked lens submodule disposed with at least one first alignment fixture is used as a molding insert to be set into a mold arranged with a second alignment fixture where the first alignment fixture connects with the second alignment fixture correspondingly. Then by injection or press molding of the embedded molding insert, a lens module with the lens holder for alignment is formed. Thereby the conventional manufacturing method of the lens molder is improved, the processes are simplified and the yield rate is increased. Moreover, the molded lens module is packed into the lens more easily so that it is suitable to be applied to camera lenses, small lenses and mobile phone lenses.

  • Publication number: 20110063730
    Abstract: A disk-shaped optical lens array produced by resin injection-compression molding and a manufacturing method thereof are revealed. The disk-shaped optical lens array has at least one alignment fixture a first surface and a second optical surface. The optical surfaces respectively including a plurality of optical zones corresponding to each other so as to form a plurality of optical lens elements arranged in an array and a plurality of single optical elements is produced after cutting. At least one disk-shaped optical lens array and other optical lens element/or two disk-shaped optical lens arrays are aligned with an optical axis of an optical lens element by the alignment fixture to form a stacked disk-shaped optical lens array. Therefore the manufacturing processes of the optical lens arrays are simplified with improved precision and reduced cost.

    Abstract: A stacked disk-shaped optical lens array, a stacked lens module and a method of manufacturing the same are revealed. The stacked disk-shaped optical lens array is produced by at least tow disk-shaped optical lens arrays whose optical axes are aligned. After the optical axes of the stacked disk-shaped optical lens array being aligned by alignment fixtures, the stacked disk-shaped optical lens array is cut to produce a single stacked optical lens element. The optical lens element and optical elements required are mounted into a lens holder to form the stacked lens module. The stacked lens module produced by the method has optical lens elements whose axes are aligned precisely. The processes for manufacturing lens modules are simplified and the cost is reduced.
