- the optical element of the present invention has a functional layer containing an inorganic component as a main component.
- the functional layer refers to a layer in which several layers containing an inorganic component as a main component are formed on the surface of a base material molded as described above.
- the film (film type) that can be formed as the functional layer is not particularly limited, but an antireflection film, an enhanced reflection film, a half mirror film, a dichroic coat, a polarizing film, an infrared cut film, a heat ray blocking film, a conductive film.
- An antireflection film is particularly suitable among them.
- the antireflection film can reduce reflection on the surface of the optical element due to light interference.
- the role of the antireflection film is listed below.
- the reflectance of the surface of the optical element depends on the refractive index, but it is 4% for a low refractive index glass material such as BK-7 and 8% for a high refractive index glass material.
- the coated optical surface has a reflectivity of about 0.1 to 1%.
- the transmittance of the lens varies greatly depending on the presence or absence of a film. If the antireflection film is formed on the optical element, the reflectance decreases, so that the amount of light transmitted through the optical element increases.
- flare and ghost refers to light that reaches the imaging plane other than the imaging light that passes through the optical system (the light that forms the image of the subject), and is a blur other than that of the subject. May form a sharp image or reduce the contrast of the subject image. If an antireflection film is formed on the optical element, flare and ghost can be reduced.
- (Iv) Lens surface protection (especially in the case of glass lenses) If a lens that has been polished is left in a humid place for a long time, a whitish cloudiness is produced on the surface of the lens. This is called “discoloration” and causes a reduction in the light amount of the lens.
- the antireflection film is an effective means for preventing this burn. After polishing, if the lens is cleaned, it will not be burned. Since the hardness of the coating film is much higher than that of glass, it is effective in protecting the optical element from scratches. In addition, the antireflection film enhances the mechanical, physical, and chemical stability of the optical element, such as reducing the charging property and reducing the influence of the external environment change on the element.

本発明において用いられる無機微粒子としては、酸化物微粒子、金属塩微粒子、半導体微粒子などが挙げられるが、特に酸化物微粒子が好ましく用いられる。これらの中から、光学素子として使用する波長領域において吸収、発光、蛍光等が生じないものを適宜選択して使用することができる。
本発明は、前記硬化性樹脂と前記無機微粒子とを含有する基材であって、更に該無機微粒子が該基材の表面に存在することを特徴とする。ここでいう基材の表面とは、基材の最表面から1μmの深さまでの範囲をいい、この中に該無機微粒子が存在することにより、該基材の表面粗さが3nm以上100nm以下となることを特徴とする。また、該無機微粒子は、該基材の表面に突出していることが更に好ましい。本発明でいう「突出」とは、基材を形成する硬化性樹脂から無機微粒子が露出している状態をいう。
本発明の樹脂材料の調製時や樹脂組成物の成型工程においては、必要に応じて各種添加剤(配合剤ともいう)を添加することができる。添加剤については、格別限定はないが、酸化防止剤、熱安定剤、耐光安定剤、耐候安定剤、紫外線吸収剤、近赤外線吸収剤などの安定剤;滑剤、可塑剤などの樹脂改質剤;軟質重合体、アルコール性化合物等の白濁防止剤;染料や顔料などの着色剤;帯電防止剤、難燃剤、フィラーなどが挙げられる。これらの配合剤は、単独で、あるいは2種以上を組み合せて用いることができ、その配合量は本発明に記載の効果を損なわない範囲で適宜選択される。本発明においては、特に、上記樹脂組成物が少なくとも可塑剤または酸化防止剤を含有することが好ましい。
可塑剤としては、特に限定はないが、リン酸エステル系可塑剤、フタル酸エステル系可塑剤、トリメリット酸エステル系可塑剤、ピロメリット酸系可塑剤、グリコレート系可塑剤、クエン酸エステル系可塑剤、ポリエステル系可塑剤等を挙げることができる。
酸化防止剤としては、フェノール系酸化防止剤、リン系酸化防止剤、イオウ系酸化防止剤などが挙げられ、これらの中でもフェノール系酸化防止剤、特にアルキル置換フェノール系酸化防止剤が好ましい。これらの酸化防止剤を配合することにより、透明性、耐熱性等を低下させることなく、成型時の酸化劣化等によるレンズの着色や強度低下を防止できる。これらの酸化防止剤は、それぞれ単独で、あるいは2種以上を組み合わせて用いることができ、その配合量は、本発明の目的を損なわない範囲で適宜選択されるが、本発明に係る重合体100質量部に対して好ましくは0.001~5質量部、より好ましくは0.01~1質量部である。
耐光安定剤としては、ベンゾフェノン系耐光安定剤、ベンゾトリアゾール系耐光安定剤、ヒンダードアミン系耐光安定剤などが挙げられるが、本発明においては、レンズの透明性、耐着色性等の観点から、ヒンダードアミン系耐光安定剤を用いるのが好ましい。ヒンダードアミン系耐光安定剤(以下、HALSともいう)の中でも、テトラヒドロフラン(THF)を溶媒として用いたGPCにより測定したポリスチレン換算のMnが1000~10000であるものが好ましく、2000~5000であるものがより好ましく、2800~3800であるものが特に好ましい。Mnが小さすぎると、該HALSをブロック共重合体に加熱溶融混練して配合する際に、揮発のため所定量を配合できなかったり、射出成型等の加熱溶融成型時に発泡やシルバーストリークが生じるなど加工安定性が低下する。また、ランプを点灯させた状態でレンズを長時間使用する場合に、レンズから揮発性成分がガスとなって発生する。逆にMnが大き過ぎると、ブロック共重合体への分散性が低下して、レンズの透明性が低下し、耐光性改良の効果が低減する。したがって、本発明においては、HALSのMnを上記範囲とすることにより加工安定性、低ガス発生性、透明性に優れたレンズが得られる。
本発明の光学素子は、無機成分を主成分とする機能性層を有することを特徴とする。該機能性層とは、上術の通り成形された基材の表面に対し、無機成分を主成分とする膜が数層形成されたものをいう。
(i)透過光量の増加
光学素子の表面の反射率は屈折率に依存するが、BK-7のような低屈折率の硝材では4%、高屈折率硝材では8%にもなる。膜の種類にもよるが、コートした光学面は反射率が0.1~1%くらいになる。ズームレンズのように、レンズ枚数が多いと、膜の有無でレンズの透過率が大幅に変わる。反射防止膜を光学素子に形成すれば、反射率が低下するから当該光学素子を透過する光量が増加する。
「フレア、ゴースト」とは、光学系を通過する結像光(被写体の像を形成する光)以外の結像面に達する光のことであり、被写体以外のぼやけた像を形成したり、被写体像のコントラストを低下させる原因になる。反射防止膜を光学素子に形成すれば、これらフレア、ゴーストを減少させることができる。
カラー写真では色の再現性(カラーバランス)が重要な評価要素であり、光学素子の分光透過率が写真の色再現に大きな影響を与える。光学素子の分光透過率は、利用するコートの選び方により幾分か変えることができ、光学素子に反射防止膜を形成すればカラーバランスの調整が可能である。
(特にガラスレンズの場合)研磨し終えたままのレンズを長時間湿気の多い場所に放置しておくと、レンズの表面に白っぽい曇りを生じる。これを「ヤケ」と呼びレンズの光量低下の原因となる。反射防止膜はこのヤケを防ぐための有効な手段である。研磨後、きれいに洗浄したレンズにコートを行うとヤケは発生しない。コーティングによる膜の硬度はガラスよりかなり大きいので、光学素子を傷から護るのに有効である。この他、帯電性の緩和、外部環境変化の素子への影響を減少させる、など反射防止膜は光学素子の機械的、物理的及び化学的な安定性を高めている。
