최근 광 디스크로부터 신호를 검출하고 기록하는 핵심장치인 장 Pick-up이 점차로 고기능화, 소형화, 경량화 되면서 광 기록장치들의 발전에 크게 기여하고 있다. 초소형, 초경량 광 Pick-up을 생산하기 위해서는 광 Pick-up의 무게와 크기에 큰 영향을 미치는 렌즈의 재료를 유리에서 플라스틱으로 전환하고, 비구면 렌즈를 사용하는 것이 필요하다. 플라스틱 비구면 렌즈를 대량 생산하기 위해서 가장 많이 사용되는 방법이 사출성형이고, 소형, 경량, 휴대기능을 강조하는 제품동향으로 인하여 플라스틱 렌즈의 주요 생산기술인 사출성형의 중요성이 날로 부각되고 있다.(중략)

복굴절이란 하나의 매질로부터 다른 매질로 진입하는 파동이 그 경계면에서 나가는 방향을 바꾸는 현상으로 등방성 매질에서 이방성 매질로 나아갈 때는 경계면에서 굴절파가 두 개로 나뉘어 굴절하게 되는 것을 말한다. 휴대폰용 카메라모듈 렌즈의 사출성형공정에서 발생하는 렌즈 내의 잔류응력에 의한 복굴절률은 사출공정에서의 렌즈불량 발생의 원인이 되며, 잔류응력은 또한 사출성형 이후에 완화되어 렌즈의 외관 치수의 변형을 가져오게 된다. 그러나 플라스틱류를 사용하는 정밀가공 생산 공정 등 실생활에서는 제품의 제조에 있어서 복굴절은 광학적 특성을 결정하는 가장 중요한 요소 중의 하나로서 성형시 복굴절을 최소화할 필요가 있다. 이를 어느 정도 달성했는가의 수준에 따라 플라스틱 정밀 성형 제품의 등급이 결정되는 중요한 측정요소이다.

안경렌즈는 유리를 연마하여 제작하거나 단량체를 세라믹 금형에 넣어 캐스팅공법으로 플라스틱 렌즈를 만드는 것이 일반적인 방법이었다. 한편 사출성형에 의한 렌즈 및 안경의 제작은 광학적으로 우수한 재료 및 금형을 개발하지 못하여 국내에서는 시도조차 못하는 형편이다. 구미나 유럽의 일부 국가는 PMMA 및 PC를 이용하여 안경 및 안경렌즈를 개발하고 있으며, 이는 공정을 대폭 줄이기 때문에 대량 생산 및 원가 절감을 이룩할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 PMMA 및 PC를 이용하여 그동안 성형할 때에 가장 문제가 되었던 오목 렌즈를 제작하기 위한 근본적인 금형 설계의 문제점 해결과 이를 이용한 일체형 안경과 고강도 렌즈의 제작을 고찰하였다.

This study aims to develop a plastic aspheric lens for a 13-megapixel mobile phone camera by injection-compression molding. A mold for injection-compression molding experiments was fabricated with a movable upper plate and four springs. During cavity filling for an aspheric lens with a thickness ratio of 2, a weldline was formed under conventional injection molding, whereas no weldline was formed under injection-compression molding with a compression stroke of 0.3 mm. The flow patterns were in good agreement with the simulation results. The birefringence decreased as the compression stroke increased, and the birefringence produced by injection-compression molding was very low and more uniform compared with that produced by injection molding. In addition, the bulk birefringence of an assembly composed of four plastic lenses was significantly affected by the orientation of the lenses to be mounted.

We studied on the injection molding conditions of defect-free PMMA lens for surgical light. When the heat temperature of mold is low, more imperfect molding or weldlines and flow marks have showed. A defective lens depends on low fluidity of the PMMA resin and its temperature is high, a flexural strain has occurred. The longer cooling time of specimens, the more cracks have occurred due to resin crystallization. In this study, optimal molding conditions for defect-free PMMA lens is as follows. The heat temperature of core mold was 110 [$^{\circ}C$] and also the cooling time was 25 [sec]. PMMA materials can realized low expense to produce plastic optical lens and applications.

Subminiature lenses are currently widely used in mobile phone cameras and are usually produced by injection molding. The lens molding process has the unique feature of a runner volume that is much larger than the part volume, and this feature should be considered when determining the mold design and molding conditions. In this study, a shell-type runner was proposed as an alternative to the conventional cylindrical runner used for lens molding. An injection molding simulation was performed by applying the proposed shell runner, and the simulation results were compared with those from the cylindrical runner case. It was found that the shell runner could considerably reduce the runner cooling time with only a slight increase in the injection pressure. The effect of the runner thickness was then investigated numerically in terms of the mold filling and cooling characteristics, from which an optimal runner thickness could be determined.

There have been many technologies and materials proposed for realizing microlens array, and plastic injection is recognized as the most promising one because of several merits such as optical properties, impact resistance, formability, lightening and environmental adaptability. Since PR reflow for injection template fabrication enables the lens shape control easier, and the sample technology more effective for mass production, it lowers the cost, enhances integration, and reduces process steps, which leads to be environmentally benign. However injection of polymers may face the difficulty of formability depending on their properties. In order to overcome the difficulty, fast heating/cooling technology was introduced in this study, and microlenses were fabricated and evaluated. template obtained by PR reflow method was heated and cooled fast during injection to fabricate microlens array. PC and PMMA polymer materials were compared, and it was realized that PMMA showed much better formability due to its lower melting temperature. Injection parameters of pressures and velocities were driven out for injection optimization.

본 연구에서는 형내압 파형제어 시스템, 초고속, 사출성형, 그리고 금형진공 시스템 등을 갖춘 사출 성형기를 이용하여 정밀 구면렌즈를 성형하기 위한 실험을 수행하였다. 이 러한 목적을 위해 성형공정 변수인 사출시간 충전압력 그리고 보압시간이 성형품에 미치는 영향을 중량과 곡률반경 구면 정밀도 그리고 구면오차의 간접무늬를 측정하여 연구하였다. 그결과로서 성형품의 중량(칫수)과 곡률반경에 지대한 영향력을 행사하는 변수는 충전압력 이며 사출시간과 보압시간은 곡률반경과는 무관해 보이고 중량의 증가에는 기여하지만 공정 사이클 시간을 증가시키는 문제가 지적된다. 구면정밀도 측정실험 결과 길지도 짧지도 않는 15∼20초 사이의 보압시간 4초이내의 빠른 사출시간 그리고 860kg/cm2 이상의 높은 충전압 력에서 우수한 결과를 보여주었다, 마지막으로 구면의 형상에 대한 간접무늬 측정결과는 성 형공정을 이해하는데 강력한 도구가 됨을 발견하였다.

The present work covers three-dimensional flow simulation and deformation analysis of injection molded plastic lenses using solid elements. A numerical scheme to evaluate part deformation has been proposed from the results of injection molding analysis. Proposed scheme has been applied to the injection molding processes of optical plastic lenses: a spherical lens and an aspheric lens for a photo pick-up device. Through the simulation processes. residual stress is estimated and the final deformed patters are obtained for both products. The reliability of the proposed approach has also been verified in comparison with the results of real experiments.

Injection molding is one of the widely used polymer processing operations. It is being used for not only conventional injection molding but gas injection molding, water injection molding, and injection compression molding. Injection compression molding involves injection and compression operation, and it gives uniform physical property and high dimensional quality of product. In this study, injection compression characteristics for various product shapes have been investigated by computer simulation. Product containing side wall showed not much effective in injection compression molding since wall thickness direction was perpendicular to the compression direction. Uniform and low shrinkage was observed in injection compression molding comparing conventional injection molding. Subsequently injection compression molding can be used for molding precise product. Optimal injection compression molding condition was obtained using design of experiment for plastic lens and the results were compared with conventional injection molding.
