  • Patent number: 11886062
    Abstract: Provided is a method for manufacturing an optical device capable of surely curing a photocurable resin composition. The method for manufacturing an optical device 1 in which an optical member 2 and a transparent panel 4 are bonded together via a cured resin layer 3 includes: a step of forming, on one of the optical member 2 and the transparent panel 4, a wall 12 surrounding a forming region for the cured resin layer 3 and having at least one opening 13; a step of laminating the optical member 2 and the transparent panel 4 to form a laminated body 10 in which a resin filling space 14 surrounded by the wall 12 is formed between the optical member 2 and the transparent panel 4; a step of filling the resin filling space 14 of the laminated body 10 with a photocurable resin composition 30; and a step of curing the photocurable resin composition 30 to form the cured resin layer 3.

  • Patent number: 11846841
    Abstract: Provide is a method for manufacturing an optical device capable of filling a curable resin composition without protrusion to the periphery even in a manufacturing process of the optical device using a transparent panel having a curved surface shape. The method includes: filling a lamination side of a transparent panel having a curved surface shape with a curable resin composition, curing the curable resin composition filling the lamination side to form a first cured resin layer, forming a dam member on an optical member, laminating the transparent panel and the optical member to form a laminate having a resin filling space surrounded by the dam member, filling the resin filling space with the curable resin composition, precuring the curable resin composition filled in the resin filling space to form a precured resin layer, and final curing the precured resin layer.

  • Patent number: 11650445
    Abstract: Provided are a method for manufacturing a transparent panel formed with a wall member having high accuracy, a uniform height from a surface to adhere to an optical member, and smoothness. This method comprises: a step of preparing a transparent panel 4 for an optical device 1 to be bonded to an optical member 2; a step of forming a mask layer 15 so as to form an opening 6 along a periphery of an outer shape of the transparent panel 4; a step of applying a curable resin material 7 to the opening 6 and the mask layer 15; a step of pressing a flat plate 10 against the curable resin material 7; a step of curing the resin composition 7 to form a cured resin layer 11; a step of detaching the flat plate 10; and a step of removing the mask layer 15 together with the cured resin layer 11 formed on the mask layer 15 to obtain a wall member 12 along the periphery of the outer shape of the transparent panel 4.

  • Publication number: 20220266553
    Abstract: An optical device producing method includes: Step A of forming a wall portion surrounding an application region for a photocurable resin composition on an optical member or a transparent panel; Step B of applying a photocurable resin composition to the application region; Step C of forming a laminate by laminating the optical member and the transparent panel via the photocurable resin composition under a reduced-pressure atmosphere lower than atmospheric pressure; and Step D of removing babbles in the photocurable resin composition by pressurizing the laminate. In Step B, at least the height of the photocurable resin composition on the side of the wall portion is made higher than the height of the wall portion, and the photocurable resin composition is applied so that the laminate formed in Step C has a plurality of separated spaces separated by bubbles formed in the thickness direction of the photocurable resin composition.
