Part 1 Trends in processing technology for optical elements, mainly plastic lenses, and demands for high refractive index materials [Purpose of the lecture]
Optical elements such as lenses require ultra-high precision processing technology. In order to manufacture such ultra-high precision plastic lenses, it is essential to improve the
sophistication and precision of mold processing technology and molding processing technology.
In addition, the refractive index of plastic resins has been increasing for many years.
It is a resin material that has been long-awaited, and by using high refractive index resin for plastic lenses, the possibility of developing even more highly functional optical element parts will expand. For this purpose, we will explain technical issues and development points such as injection molding and mold processing of plastic optical element lenses and diffractive optical elements. [Lecture points]
We will provide technical explanations based on concrete achievements, such as the concept of responding to the use of plastic for
ultra-precision and ultra-high precision optical elements.
[Program]
1.Optical plastics and required properties
1-1 Typical optical plastic materials
1-2 Required optical properties
2. Typical plastic optical elements

Part 3: Characteristics of cyclic olefin resin “APEL(R)” and brand development for application expansion
[Purpose of the lecture]
Since cyclic olefin resins are amorphous and transparent materials, they are used as lens materials for various optical devices such as smartphone cameras, head-mounted displays, and car cameras. We will explain the characteristics of the cyclic olefin copolymer “APEL(R)” developed by Mitsui Chemicals for use in optical lenses, and the development of a brand to expand its use.
[Lecture points]
We will explain the characteristics of APEL (R) (transparent, low birefringence, and low water absorption) and optical brands that take advantage of these characteristics.
[Program]
1.Characteristics of cyclic olefin copolymer “APEL(R)”
1.1 Synthesis method and chemical structure
1.2 Basic physical properties
1.3 Optical properties
2. Brand development aimed at expanding the use of cyclic olefin copolymer “APEL(R)”
2.1 “APEL(R)” optical brand
2.2 Brands for smartphone camera lenses
2.3 Brands for head-mounted display lenses
2.4 Brands for automotive camera lenses
3. Conclusion
