Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a manufacturing system and method for an optical lens having a developing thin film article; particularly to a manufacturing system and method for an optical lens having a developing thin film article with a pattern, letter, or number; and even more particularly to a manufacturing system and method for an optical lens having a developing ultra-thin thin film article. [Previous Technology]

[0002] Regarding conventional optical lens devices with functional structures, for example, US Patent No. US-10259744, "Process for producing an optical glass with an anti-fog coating," discloses an optical lens with anti-fog multifunctionality. This anti-fog multifunctional optical lens includes a lens body, a front lens surface, a front surface anti-fog layer, and a rear lens surface.

[0003] Continuing from the above, structurally, the aforementioned U.S. Patent No. US-10259744 has a front surface anti-fog layer formed on the front lens surface of the lens body to reduce or minimize the adhesion angle of water droplets to the front surface anti-fog layer and prevent fogging from occurring on the front lens surface of the lens body.

[0004] Another conventional composite optical lens device with a functional structure, for example, is the "Composite ophthalmic lens" invention patent in US Patent No. US-5116684, which discloses a composite eyeglass lens. The composite eyeglass lens includes an inorganic glass layer, a rigid organic plastic layer and a silicone pad, and the organic plastic layer is an optically clear epoxy polymer.

[0005] Continuing from the above, the epoxy polymer of the aforementioned US Patent No. US-5116684 is made of an aliphatic and / or aromatic epoxy monomer, a curing agent, an active hydroxyl source, and an accelerator, wherein the aliphatic and / or aromatic epoxy monomer will produce a predetermined refractive index. The equivalent ratio of the curing agent to the aliphatic and / or aromatic epoxy monomer is between 2:5 and 5:4, and the equivalent ratio of the curing agent to the hydroxyl source is between 2:1 and 6:1, and the content of the accelerator is at least 0.01% but not more than 1.0%.

[0006] As above, the structure of the composite eyeglass lens in the aforementioned US Patent Publication No. US-5116684 is obviously formed by the combination of the inorganic glass layer, the rigid organic plastic layer and the silicate pad, and therefore there is no functional optical thin film layer in the inorganic glass layer, the rigid organic plastic layer and the silicate pad.

[0007] Another conventional composite optical lens device with a functional structure is, for example, U.S. Patent No. US-4793703, "Laminated Glass Lenses," which discloses a composite glass / plastic laminated optical lens structure. This composite glass / plastic laminated optical lens structure includes an inorganic glass layer, an organic plastic layer, and an adhesive layer.

[0008] As above, the inorganic glass layer in the aforementioned US Patent No. US-4793703 is a glass front surface layer, and the organic plastic layer is a plastic back surface layer.

[0009] As stated above, the composite glass / plastic layered optical lens structure of the aforementioned US Patent No. US-4793703 is obviously formed by the combination of the inorganic glass layer, the organic plastic layer and the adhesive layer. Therefore, there is no functional thin film layer in the inorganic glass layer, the organic plastic layer and the adhesive layer.

[0010] As above, the composite glass / plastic layered optical lens structure of the aforementioned US Patent No. US-4793703 includes an inorganic glass layer, a first organic plastic layer, a second organic plastic layer, a first adhesive layer and a second adhesive layer.

[0011] Obviously, the composite glass / plastic layered optical lens structure of the aforementioned US Patent No. US-4793703 is formed by combining the inorganic glass layer, the first organic plastic layer and the first adhesive layer, and is also formed by combining the inorganic glass layer, the second organic plastic layer and the second adhesive layer. Therefore, there is no functional optical thin film layer in the inorganic glass layer, the first organic plastic layer, the second organic plastic layer, the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer.

[0012] Another conventional composite optical lens device with a functional structure, for example, US Patent Publication No. US-20150049303, "Photochromic Composite Lens," discloses a photochromic composite lens. The photochromic composite lens includes a front lens, a rear lens, an intermediate layer, and a functional coating, and has a support structure between the front and rear lenses to form the intermediate layer.

[0013] Continuing from the above, in the aforementioned US Patent Publication No. US-20150049303, the front lens is located on the outer side, and the rear lens is located on the inner side. Furthermore, the intermediate layer is a photochromic layer, and the photochromic layer contains a photochromic dye. Between the front and rear lenses, the support structure can define a uniform thickness space, thus forming a uniform thickness layer when the photochromic dye is filled into this uniform thickness space.

[0014] As above, the aforementioned U.S. Patent Publication No. US-20150049303 has an outer surface on the front lens and a functional coating may be optionally bonded to the outer surface of the front lens, and has an inner surface on the rear lens and another functional coating may be optionally bonded to the inner surface of the rear lens.

[0015] Obviously, the conventional optical lens devices described in the aforementioned U.S. Patent No. US-10259744, U.S. Patent No. US-5116684, U.S. Patent No. US-4793703 and U.S. Patent Publication No. US-20150049303 all have a need for further improvement in order to provide an optical lens structure that can develop thin film objects or thin film layers.

[0016] Obviously, the aforementioned U.S. Patent Nos. US-10259744, US-5116684, US-4793703 and US-20150049303 are only for reference and explanation of the technical background of this invention and the current state of technical development, and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention.

[0017] In view of the above, in order to meet the above-mentioned needs, the present invention provides a manufacturing system and method for an optical lens having a surface-developed thin film object. The system involves supporting an optical substrate layer on a support unit, the optical substrate layer having a first surface and a second surface, and using a coating unit to coat at least one photoresist material onto the first or second surface of the optical substrate layer to form at least one photoresist film. The photoresist film is then exposed in an exposure unit to form at least one exposed film on the first or second surface of the optical substrate layer. The exposed film is then developed in a developing unit to form at least one developed film on the first or second surface of the optical substrate layer. Finally, the developed film is processed in a baking unit to form at least one developed thin film object or at least one developed thin film layer, thereby improving the technical problem that conventional optical lens devices do not have a surface-developed thin film object structure.

[0032] Figure 1 is a block diagram illustrating a manufacturing system for an optical lens with a developing thin film object according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0039] Figure 2 illustrates a flowchart of a preferred embodiment of the manufacturing method of an optical lens with a developing thin film object according to the present invention. Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the preferred embodiment of the manufacturing method of an optical lens with a developing thin film object according to the present invention includes step S1: First, for example, the optical substrate layer 1 (or optical lens body) is selected to be carried on the carrier unit 100 by appropriate technical means (e.g., automated, semi-automated or manual), and the optical substrate layer 1 (or optical lens body) has a first surface (e.g., front side) and a second surface (e.g., back side) or other surfaces to be processed.

[0040] Referring again to Figures 1 and 2, the manufacturing method of an optical lens with a developing thin film object according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes step S2: Next, for example, at least one photoresist material is applied to the first or second surface of the optical substrate layer 1 (or optical lens body) by means of appropriate technical means (e.g., automated, semi-automated or manual) on the carrier unit 100 by operating the coating unit 201 to form at least one photoresist film.

[0041] Referring again to Figures 1 and 2, the manufacturing method of an optical lens with a developing thin film object according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes step S3: Next, for example, on the carrier unit 100, the photoresist film is operated to be exposed on the exposure unit 202 by appropriate technical means (e.g., automated, semi-automated or manual) to form at least one exposed film on the first or second surface of the optical substrate layer 1 (or optical lens body).

[0042] Referring again to Figures 1 and 2, the manufacturing method of an optical lens with a developing thin film object according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes step S4: Next, for example, on the carrier unit 100, the exposed thin film is selected to be developed in the developing unit 203 by appropriate technical means (e.g., automated, semi-automated or manual) to form at least one developed thin film on the first or second surface of the optical substrate layer 1 (or optical lens body).

[0043] Referring again to Figures 1 and 2, the manufacturing method of an optical lens with a developing thin film object according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes step S5: Next, for example, on the carrier unit 100, the developed film is operated and processed in the baking unit 204 by appropriate technical means (e.g., automated, semi-automated or manual) to form at least one developing thin film object, at least one developing thin film layer or other developing thin film object on the first or second surface of the optical substrate layer 1 (or optical lens body), thereby forming the developing thin film object or developing thin film layer with an extremely thin thickness.

[0044] Referring again to Figures 1 and 2, for example, in another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the developing film object or developing film layer of the optical substrate layer 1 (or optical lens body) may be selectively subjected to several processing operations to form at least one multilayer three-dimensional developing film object or at least one multilayer three-dimensional developing film layer, thereby forming the multilayer three-dimensional developing film object or multilayer three-dimensional developing film layer with an extremely thin thickness.

[0045] Please refer again to Figures 1 and 2. For example, in another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the developing film object or developing film layer of the optical substrate layer 1 (or optical lens body) can be selected to adjust the first surface or the second surface of the optical substrate layer according to at least one surface curvature (as shown in Figure 3), so as to avoid improper pattern deformation.

[0046] Figure 3 shows a side view schematic diagram of an optical lens structure with a developing thin film object according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Figure 3, for example, the optical lens structure with a developing thin film object according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention includes an optical substrate layer 1, a predetermined processing area 10, a photoresist film 2, and a developing thin film object 20.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 3 again. For example, the optical substrate layer 1 can be selected from a single optical substrate layer or a composite film optical substrate layer. The optical substrate layer 1 can be selected to have a first thickness (i.e., uniform thickness or non-uniform thickness). The optical substrate layer 1 can be selected from a glass substrate layer, a plastic substrate layer, an environmentally friendly plastic substrate layer, a polymer substrate layer, a polycarbonate (PC) substrate layer, a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) substrate layer, a nylon substrate layer, or a substrate layer of a material with similar properties.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 3 again. For example, the optical substrate layer 1 can also be selected from a polarizing layer, an anti-reflection layer, a color-changing layer, an anti-blue light layer, an anti-blue ultraviolet light layer, an anti-infrared layer, other functional thin film layers (e.g., anti-fog layer or anti-scratch protective layer) or any combination thereof.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 3 again. For example, the optical substrate layer 1 may also be selected to provide an optical correction function (e.g., myopia correction function, hyperopia correction function, presbyopia correction function or other correction function), and a light ray or a beam of light may pass through the optical substrate layer 1.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 3 again. For example, a first surface 11 and a second surface 12 are disposed on the optical substrate layer 1. In use, the first surface 11 of the optical substrate layer 1 is located on the outer side, and the second surface 12 of the optical substrate layer 1 is located on the inner side.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 3 again. For example, the first surface 11 or the second surface 12 of the optical substrate layer 1 can be selected from a plane, a cylindrical surface, an aspherical surface, a free-form surface or any combination thereof, or the first surface 11 or the second surface 12 of the optical substrate layer 1 can be selected from an irregularly changing surface, a curved surface, a wavy surface or any combination thereof.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 3 again. For example, the predetermined processing area 10 can be selected from the area around the surface of an optical substrate, the edge area of ​​the surface of an optical substrate, the central area of ​​the surface of an optical substrate, the side area of ​​the surface of an optical substrate, the convex curved area of ​​the surface of an optical substrate, the concave curved area of ​​the surface of an optical substrate, or any combination thereof.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 3 again. For example, the first surface 11, the second surface 12, or the predetermined processing area 10 of the optical substrate layer 1 may be selected to undergo a series of pre-surface treatment operations (e.g., cleaning the surface, removing surface dust, eliminating surface static electricity, or other automatic or semi-automatic processing operations).

[0054] Referring again to Figure 3, for example, the photoresist film 2 has a predetermined thickness, which can be selected from a uniform thickness, a non-uniform thickness, a continuously varying thickness, or a non-continuously varying thickness, and the predetermined thickness can be between about 0.5 μm and about 20.0 μm or other similar thickness ranges.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 3 again. For example, the photoresist film 2 may be made of at least one photoresist material, which may be selected from a positive photoresist material or a negative photoresist material, such as a UV photosensitive agent. The photoresist material may include a resin material, a photosensitive material, a solvent, and an additive.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 3 again. For example, the photoresist material of the photoresist film 2 may be selected to have a predetermined color, such as black photoresist, red photoresist, green photoresist, blue photoresist or other colored photoresist, and the photoresist material of the photoresist film 2 may be selected to have a predetermined transmittance, such as 1% to 99% or others.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 3 again. For example, at least one photoresist material is appropriately disposed on the first surface 11 or the second surface 12 of the optical substrate layer 1 by appropriate technical means (e.g., coating, spraying, spin coating, dip coating, curtain coating, roller coating or other technical means) to form at least one or more layers of the photoresist film 2, and the photoresist film 2 is appropriately processed, such as pre-baking or other processing.

[0058] Figure 4 shows a top view schematic diagram of the optical lens structure of the developing thin film object of the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, which employs a first photomask pattern member. Referring to Figures 3 and 4, for example, the optical lens structure of the developing thin film object of the first preferred embodiment of the present invention may employ at least one first photomask pattern member 31, and the first photomask pattern member 31 has a first pattern.

[0059] Please refer to Figures 3 and 4 again. For example, the photoresist film 2 is exposed to light by at least one light source (e.g., a UV light source or a lamp with similar UV light source function) through at least one of the first photomask pattern members 31 so as to form at least one exposed film on the first surface 11 or the second surface 12 of the optical substrate layer 1.

[0060] Please refer again to Figures 3 and 4. For example, the exposed film is appropriately developed and subjected to other subsequent processing using appropriate technical means (e.g., developer of positive photoresist, developer of negative photoresist, or material with similar development function) to form at least one developed film on the first surface 11 or the second surface 12 of the optical substrate layer 1. The developed film is then processed to form at least one or more developed film objects 20, and the developed film object 20 may optionally have a first pattern (as shown in Figure 4).

[0061] Please refer to Figures 3 and 4 again. For example, in terms of pattern design, the first pattern of the developing film object 20 can be modified by the first pattern of the first photomask pattern member 31 to avoid pattern distortion on the irregular surface, curved surface or wavy surface of the first surface 11 or the second surface 12 of the optical substrate layer 1.

[0062] Please refer to Figures 3 and 4 again. For example, the first pattern of the developing film object 20 may be selected to have a predetermined width, and the predetermined minimum width is 3.0 μm. The developing film object 20 may be appropriately processed, such as post-baking or other processing. The developing film object 20 may be selected to have a predetermined hardness.

[0063] Please refer to Figures 3 and 4 again. For example, the developing film object 20 may have a predetermined pattern, a predetermined text, a predetermined number or any combination thereof, and the developing film object 20 may have a predetermined color, a predetermined color combination area, a predetermined color variation area or any combination thereof.

[0064] Figure 5 shows a side view of the optical lens structure of the developing thin film object according to the second preferred embodiment of the present invention, which corresponds to the optical lens structure of the developing thin film object in Figure 3. Referring to Figure 5, compared with the first embodiment, the optical lens structure of the developing thin film object of the second preferred embodiment of the present invention includes an optical substrate layer 1, a predetermined processing area 10a, a photoresist film 2, and a developing thin film layer 21.

[0065] Referring to Figure 5, for example, the first surface 11 of the optical substrate layer 1 has a predetermined processing area 10a, and the predetermined processing area 10a can be selected from a protruded curved surface (or a recessed curved surface) or a slightly protruded curved surface (or a slightly recessed curved surface), and the photoresist film 2 is precisely formed into a uniform thickness optical film along the protruded curved surface.

[0066] Figure 6 is a top view schematic diagram of the optical lens structure of the developing thin film object of the second preferred embodiment of the present invention, which adopts a second photomask pattern member, corresponding to the first photomask pattern member in Figure 4. Referring to Figures 5 and 6, compared with the first embodiment, the optical lens structure of the developing thin film object of the second preferred embodiment of the present invention may selectively adopt at least one second photomask pattern member 32, and the second photomask pattern member 32 has a second pattern, and the second photomask pattern member 32 has at least one predetermined through-hole or a predetermined cutoff portion.

[0067] Please refer again to Figures 5 and 6. For example, the exposed film is appropriately developed and subjected to other subsequent processing using appropriate technical means (e.g., developer of positive photoresist, developer of negative photoresist, or material with similar development function) to form at least one developed film on the first surface 11 or the second surface 12 of the optical substrate layer 1. The developed film is then processed to form at least one or more developed film layers 21. The developed film layer 21 may optionally have at least one predetermined through-hole or a predetermined notch (as shown in Figure 6).

[0068] Please refer to Figures 5 and 6 again. For example, in terms of pattern design, the second pattern of the developing film object 21 can be modified by the second pattern of the second photomask pattern member 32 to avoid pattern deformation on the irregular surface, curved surface or wavy surface of the first surface 11 or the second surface 12 of the optical substrate layer 1.

[0069] Please refer to Figures 5 and 6 again. For example, the predetermined through-hole or predetermined notch of the developing film layer 21 may have a predetermined width, and the predetermined minimum width is 3.0 μm. The developing film layer 21 may also have a predetermined hardness.

[0070] Please refer to Figures 5 and 6 again. For example, the predetermined through-hole or predetermined notch of the developing film layer 21 may have a predetermined pattern, a predetermined text, a predetermined number or any combination thereof, and the developing film layer 21 may have a predetermined color, a predetermined color combination area, a predetermined color variation area or any combination thereof.

[0071] Referring again to Figures 5 and 6, for example, in another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the developing film layer 21 may selectively form at least one film color change area, such that the film color change area of ​​the developing film layer 21 can provide an optical property.

[0072] Please refer to Figures 5 and 6 again. For example, the film color change area of ​​the developing film layer 21 includes at least one dark color block, at least one light color block and at least one color transition block. One or more of the dark color block, light color block and color transition block can be used to form the dark color block, light color block and color transition block in order to provide the function of color change design.

[0073] Figure 7 shows a side view of the optical lens structure of the object with a developing thin film according to the third preferred embodiment of the present invention, which corresponds to the optical lens structure of the object with a developing thin film in Figure 3. Referring to Figure 7, compared with the first embodiment, the third preferred embodiment of the present invention may optionally form a developing wavy-like thin film layer 22 to form a wavy optical thin film of uniform thickness precisely formed along a wavy surface 11a.

[0074] Figure 8 shows a side view of the optical lens structure of the developing thin film object according to the fourth preferred embodiment of the present invention, which corresponds to the optical lens structure of the developing thin film object in Figures 3 and 5.
