とが望まれる。With the recent trend toward lighter weight and higher performance of single-lens reflex cameras and video-integrated cameras,
In order to reduce the weight and improve the performance of the lens portion of these products, aspherical lenses have come to be used. By using an aspherical lens, weight reduction is achieved by reducing the number of lenses, and by asphericalization, high performance is achieved by removing spherical aberration of the lens. However, with the conventional method of manufacturing a lens by grinding and polishing, it is very difficult to form an aspherical surface, and mass productivity is poor, so that it is very expensive. For this reason, at present, a manufacturing method by precision press molding which does not require grinding and polishing using a precision processed mold material has come to be used. However,
The known mold materials for precision press molding are:
When the molding temperature becomes high, the material deteriorates and it becomes difficult to maintain the surface accuracy of the mold, which is not suitable for mass production of press lenses. Therefore, it is desirable that the glass to be pressed can be molded at a temperature as low as possible. That is, the precision press molding that is usually performed is the deformation temperature (At) of glass.
Therefore, it is carried out at a temperature about 30 to 50 ° C. higher. Therefore, the deformation temperature (At) of glass is desired to be as low as possible.

しているものも見られる。In addition, in the optical glass that has been conventionally used,
About 10 to 50% of lead oxide is contained as a glass component. When these optical glasses are used in precision press, lead oxide existing on the glass surface is reduced by the atmosphere because it is usually performed in a reducing atmosphere to prevent the oxidation of the mold material, and it is deposited on the press lens surface and pressed. To evaporate by heating for forming a recess on the surface of the press lens,
The evaporated lead adheres to the surface of the mold material and forms a convex portion, resulting in minute unevenness, and the surface accuracy of the press-molded lens cannot be maintained, so not only the optical performance as designed cannot be obtained. However, it was necessary to remove lead attached to the mold material, which was not suitable for mass production.
From these points, it is desired that the optical glass used for precision press molding does not contain lead oxide as a glass component and can be molded at a temperature as low as possible. In order to solve these problems, press-molding optical glass as disclosed in each of the above publications has been proposed. However, these optical glasses not only do not have the optical characteristics aimed at by the present invention, but also include those containing lead oxide.

Is a main component that constitutes the network of glass, and is effective for stabilizing and highly dispersing glass. However, if it is less than 10.0%, the glass becomes unstable, and if it is more than 50.0%, the softening temperature rises, which not only becomes unsuitable as glass for precision press lenses, but also unmelts in the glass. Give rise to. GeO 2 is a component that constitutes a glass network like SiO 2, and has the highest dispersibility among components that form a glass by itself, and is a glass having a lower softening temperature than ordinary optical glass of the same type. Has become an essential ingredient in providing. However, if it is less than 5.0%, the effect is not obtained, and if it is more than 52.0%, the chemical durability is deteriorated and the refractive index is further increased. The total amount of SiO 2 and GeO 2 is 45.
If it increases or decreases beyond 0 to 67.0%, a predetermined optical constant cannot be obtained, so it is set within a predetermined range.

範囲内とする。TiO 2 is the most important essential component in the present invention. Optical glasses with low refractive index and high dispersion are usually
To give the glass the property of low refractive index and high dispersion, P
The bO component is essential. However, since the optical glass in the present invention is a glass for precision press lenses, it is a component that adversely affects the press mold material, that is, PbO.
Can not be used. Therefore, TiO 2 is indispensable in the present invention as the most effective component that gives glass the same optical properties as PbO and does not adversely affect the pressing mold material. However, if it is less than 4.0%, the above effect cannot be obtained, and if it exceeds 25.0%, the glass becomes unstable, so the content is made within the predetermined range. Nb
2 O 5 is a component for giving glass a low refractive index and high dispersibility, instead of the PbO component, like TiO 2 . However, no effect of TiO 2 degree, since than highly disperse better effects on the high refractive index larger, in conjunction with TiO 2, and a component for adjusting the optical constants. However, if it exceeds 25.0%, the refractive index becomes higher than the predetermined optical constant, and the devitrification tendency further increases. Also TiO
2 and Nb 2 O 5 are within this range because a predetermined optical constant cannot be obtained if the total amount of Nb 2 O 5 increases or decreases beyond 10.0 to 30.0%.

る。Li 2 O is a component which has the effect of lowering the softening temperature of glass most among the alkaline components and which does not deteriorate the chemical durability of glass most. However, if the use ratio increases, the glass becomes very unstable and the crystallization tendency increases, so in the present invention, the use amount is within 1.0 to 5.0% as a small amount of an essential component. Limited. Na 2 O is Li in the alkaline component.
It is a component that has the effect of lowering the softening temperature of glass following 2 O. However, unlike Li 2 O, the stability of the glass is not impaired even if the amount used is increased, so it is the most essential alkaline component used in the present invention. However, if it is less than 5.0%, the effect is small, and it is 19.0.
%, The chemical durability of the glass deteriorates, so the content is set within the prescribed range. Compared to Li 2 O and Na 2 O, K 2 O is not effective in lowering the softening temperature of glass, and if the amount of K 2 O used is large, the chemical durability of glass is extremely deteriorated. However, since the glass has a property of having a low refractive index and high dispersibility, it is used at 8.0% or less. Cs 2 O is the most effective component in the alkali component for achieving a low refractive index and high dispersion, and does not impair the stability of the glass even if it is used in a large amount. However, it has almost no effect on lowering the softening temperature, and if it exceeds 20.0%, the chemical durability is deteriorated, so the content is set within the predetermined range. Li 2 O
, Na 2 O, K 2 O, and Cs 2 O are more effective than other components in lowering the softening temperature, and are also effective in lowering the refractive index and increasing the dispersion. However, if the total content is less than 8.0%, the effect is small, and if it exceeds 32.0%, the chemical durability of the glass is deteriorated, so the content is set within the predetermined range.

数の調整を行わせている。ZnO is effective in lowering the softening temperature, but if it exceeds 10.0%, the refractive index becomes high, so it is within the predetermined range. MgO is an effective component for lowering the refractive index, but if it exceeds 8.0%, the devitrification tendency increases. Al 2 O 3 is a component that greatly improves the chemical durability of glass, but if it exceeds 6.0%, the softening temperature rises. ZrO 2 improves the chemical durability like Al 2 O 3 , but if it exceeds 1.0%, it raises the softening temperature and the devitrification tendency increases. TeO 2 is a component effective for high refractive index and high dispersion.
Therefore, the optical constant is adjusted by adding a small amount of 3.0% or less.
