Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, in the method described in Patent Document 1, although the change in the conjugate length of the lens array can be suppressed, in the state where the rod lenses are fixed between the substrates, since the rod lenses are heated to the thermal deformation temperature or higher, the Due to the expansion of the rod lens caused by heat treatment and the curing shrinkage of the adhesive that acts against it, there is a possibility that the rod lens will be deformed. In the application of high definition of 600dpi or more, it cannot provide sufficient Heat resistance

Abstract

The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a lens array which is excellent in heat resistance without deteriorating optical properties such as sharpness when used in a high temperature environment. In this method, a plurality of plastic rod lenses having a refractive index distribution in which the refractive index decreases continuously from the center to the outer periphery are arranged in a fixed rod lens array between two substrates so that the central axes of the rod lenses become substantially parallel to each other. A method for producing a heat treatment at a temperature lower than the thermal deformation temperature of the rod lens by 20° C. or lower, and at a temperature equal to or lower than the thermal deformation temperature of the rod lens, until the aligned rod lenses are fixed with an adhesive The manufacturing method of the plastic rod lens array.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a plastic rod lens array used as an optical transmission body for scanners, image sensors, printers, etc., and a method for manufacturing a plastic rod lens used in the plastic rod lens array, and is particularly suitable for A method for manufacturing a plastic rod lens array for high-definition scanners, image sensors, and printers of 600 dpi or more, and a method for manufacturing a plastic rod lens used in the plastic rod lens array. Background technique [0002] A plastic rod lens (hereinafter, simply referred to as "rod lens") is a cylindrical lens with a refractive index distribution whose refractive index decreases continuously from the center to the outer periphery. A plurality of rod lenses are placed between two substrates, each of which is rod-shaped. The central axes of the lenses are arranged substantially parallel to each other in one row or two or more rows and are glued and fixed. ...
