Abstract

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.

본 논문의 목적은 사출압축성형을 적용하여 13 메가 픽셀을 갖는 휴대폰 카메라용 플라스틱 비구면 렌즈를 개발하는데 있다. 사출압축성형 실험을 위하여 이동 가능한 상부 형판과 4 개의 스프링을 사용하여 금형이 제작되었다. 두께비 2를 갖는 비구면 렌즈를 대상으로 캐비티 충전 실험을 수행한 결과, 일반 사출성형에서는 웰드라인이 발생하였으나, 0.3mm의 압축스트로크가 적용된 사출압축성형에서는 웰드라인이 발생하지 않았다. 또한 미성형 실험을 통하여 얻은 충전패턴은 해석결과와 잘 일치하였다. 복굴절은 압축스트로크가 증가함에 따라 감소하였으며, 사출압축성형에서 발생한 복굴절은 일반 사출성형에 의한 값에 비하여 매우 낮고 균일한 분포를 나타냈다. 그리고 4 장의 플라스틱 렌즈로 구성된 조립체의 평균 복굴절은 장착되는 렌즈의 방향에 의하여 크게 영향을 받았다.
