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 for manufacturing a lens array that does not degrade optical properties such as sharpness and is excellent in heat resistance when used in a high-temperature environment. This method is a rod lens array in which several plastic rod lenses having a refractive index distribution in which the refractive index continuously decreases from the center to the outer periphery are arranged and fixed between two substrates so that the central axis of each rod lens becomes substantially parallel to each other. A manufacturing method of performing heat treatment at a temperature lower than the thermal deformation temperature of the above-mentioned rod lenses by 20°C or lower and at a temperature equal to or lower than the thermal deformation temperature of the above-mentioned rod lenses until the aligned rod lenses are fixed with an adhesive Manufacturing method of rod lens array made of plastic.
