Recently, with the increasing lightness and miniaturization of high resolution camera phones, the demand for aspheric glass lens has increased because plastic and spherical lens are unable to satisfy the required performance. An aspheric glass lens is fabricated by the high temperature and pressure molding using a tungsten carbide molding core, so precision grinding technology for the molding core surface are required. This paper reports a development of feedrate control grinding method for aspherical molding core using parallel grinding method. A plane molding core was ground using conventional and feedrate control grinding method. The performance of the feedrate control method was evaluated by measurement of surface roughness. The result indicated that the average surface roughness was reduced to 1.5 nm, which is more efficient than the conventional grinding method.

We designed optical systems for a mobile phone camera using a spherical SELFOC lens and an aspherical plastic lens. Since the radial index distribution gives an additional design parameter for optical design, an aspheric lens could be replaced by a spherical lens. The imaging performances of the design were compared with conventional 2P design composed of two aspherical plastic lenses. In the first stage of study, we designed 1GRIN 1P lenses by using commercially available SELFOC materials. But, the conventional 2P lenses had better performance than the 1GRIN 1P lenses. In the 1GRIN 1P designs, the performance depends on index variation of GRIN material, the larger variation gives the better performance. Hence, we tried to design by using fictitious GRIN materials which have large index variation. We found if the index variation could be increased to about 3 times that of currently available SELFOC materials, the 1GRIN 1P lens will have equivalent or better performance than the conventional 2P design.

물체공간의 한점에서 출발하여 광학계에 입사한 광속은 전부 상공간의 한점에서 집속되고 물체공간의 점 과 상공간의 점은 1:1로 대응해야 하나 현실의 광학계는 필히 수차가 존재하기때문에 이상 결상을 맺지 못다. 이러한 원인으로 생기는 수차를 통상의 방법으로 제거 할 수 없을때 비구면 LENS를 사용한다. 비구 면 LENS는 축대칭성을 갖고 단면형상이 다항식으로 표현되는 곡면을 갖는 LENS로 종래의 구면체로 구성 된 광학계에서 보정될 수 없었던 수차를 근본적으로 제거한다. 또한 비구면 LENS를 사용하므로써 화질 의 향상을 기할 수 있고 LENS 매수를 줄임으로써 LENS계 전체의 COMPACT 화, COST DOWN, 중량경감이 가능한 잇점이 있다. 지금까지 이러한 장점이 있는 비구면 LENS가 사용되지 못했던 것은 설계기술보다는 생산기 술에 있었는데, 최근 비구면 LENS 가공이가능한 기계와 LASER를 이용한 측정기술, MOLD MASTER에 의한 사출기술이 발전함에따라 PLASTIC LENS의 양산이 가능하게 되었다. 본 고에서는 신 제품 개발능력 확보와 제품경쟁력 향상을 목적으로 개발한 비구면 LENS 금형의 초정밀가공 정도 (비구면 가공정도 : FORM ERROR 0.2 .mu. m 이하) 달성방법과 측정평가에 대해 논했다.

We discussed the design of lens module schematic eyes equivalent to finite model eyes, which are used to model the human eye based on spherical aberration and Stiles-Crowford effect. The optical system for head mounted display (HMD) is designed and evaluated using lens module schematic eyes. In addition to a compact HMD system, an optical system with high Performance is required. To satisfy these requirements, we used diffractive optical elements and aspheric surfaces so that the color and mono-chromatic aberrations were corrected. The optical system for HMD is composed of 0.47 inch micro-display of SVGA grade with 480,000 pixels, a plastic hybrid lens for the virtual image, and the lens module schematic eyes. The designed optical system fulfills the current specifications of HMD: such as, EFL of 31.25 mm, FOV of 24H$\times$18V$\times$30D degrees, and overall length of 59.1 mm. As a result, we could design an optical system useful for HMD; the system is expected to be comfortable while the user wears it.
