The material of the endoscope camera fitting portion, the endoscope fitting portion, and the closing portion was polyethylene terephthalate (PET). On the other hand, an optical film was produced by the following steps. That is, a polycarbonate film (Teijin Panlite) was prepared as a base film. Furthermore, a master having an inverted shape of the concavo-convex structure of the reflection suppressing portion was prepared. Here, the arrangement pattern of the concavo-convex structure of the reflection suppressing portion was a staggered lattice. The uneven pitch of the reflection suppressing portion was set to 230 to 270 nm. The height of the convex portion was set to 200 to 250 nm. And the reflection suppression part was formed in the front and back both surfaces of a base film using this original disk. Here, the ultraviolet curable acrylic resin composition by Toagosei Co., Ltd. was used as curable resin. This produced the optical film. Subsequently, the optical film was affixed on both front and back surfaces of the closed part using a double-sided tape (LUCIACS 25 microns manufactured by Todenko). The connection member which concerns on Example 1 was created by the above process.

Evaluation of optical properties>
Next, the optical characteristics of the connecting members according to Examples 1 to 3 and the comparative example were evaluated. Specifically, the total light transmittance (%) and haze value (%) of the central portion of the connecting member (that is, the portion where the optical film or PET film is attached) were evaluated. Here, the total light transmittance was measured according to JIS K7361, and the haze value was measured according to JIS K7136. The total light transmittance is evaluated as VG (Very Good) when the total light transmittance is (95% or more), and G when the total light transmittance is (90% or more and less than 95%). It was evaluated as (Good), and B (Bad) was evaluated when the total light transmittance was (less than 90%). As for the haze value, it is evaluated as VG (Very Good) when the haze value is (1.0% or less), and when the haze value is (over 1.0% and 1.2% or less), It was evaluated as (Good), and was evaluated as B (Bad) when the haze value was (over 1.2%).
つぎに、実施例1~3、および比較例に係る連結部材を内視鏡装置に適用した際の画像の見え方について評価した。具体的には、内視鏡(ストライカー社製PERECISIONIEラパロスコープ)と、内視鏡カメラ(ストライカー社製High Definition 1488HD)と、実施例1~3、比較例、および参考例に係る連結部材とを用いて内視鏡装置を組み立てた。内視鏡カメラ用ドレープは省略した。ついで、紙面に描かれたサンプル絵に内視鏡の先端から照射光を照射し、撮像光を内視鏡カメラに入射させた。そして、内視鏡カメラが撮像した画像を表示装置に表示させた。そして、表示装置に表示された画像の品質を目視で評価した。具体的には、参考例で得られた画像を基準として、実施例1~3、比較例で得られた画像を評価した。この結果、実施例1~3では、参考例の画像と遜色ない品質の画像が得られたが、比較例で得られた画像は、参考例の画像よりも品質が大きく低下した。特に、比較例の画像は、参考例の画像に比べてぼやけが大きくなった。また、実施例1~3を比較すると、実施例1のぼやけが最も小さくなった。このぼやけに関しては、上述した全光線透過率およびヘイズ値が大きく影響しているものと想定される。以上の結果により、実施例1~3に係る連結部材は、内視鏡装置に非常に好適であることが明らかとなった。 <3. Image evaluation>
Next, the appearance of images when the connecting members according to Examples 1 to 3 and the comparative example were applied to an endoscope apparatus was evaluated. Specifically, an endoscope (PERECISIONIE Rapaloscope manufactured by Striker), an endoscope camera (High Definition 1488HD manufactured by Striker), and connecting members according to Examples 1 to 3, Comparative Examples, and Reference Examples are provided. The endoscope apparatus was assembled using it. The drape for the endoscope camera was omitted. Next, irradiation light was applied to the sample picture drawn on the paper from the tip of the endoscope, and the imaging light was incident on the endoscope camera. And the image which the endoscope camera imaged was displayed on the display device. Then, the quality of the image displayed on the display device was visually evaluated. Specifically, the images obtained in Examples 1 to 3 and the comparative example were evaluated based on the image obtained in the reference example. As a result, in Examples 1 to 3, an image having a quality comparable to the image of the reference example was obtained, but the image obtained in the comparative example was greatly deteriorated in quality compared to the image of the reference example. In particular, the image of the comparative example was more blurred than the image of the reference example. Further, when Examples 1 to 3 were compared, the blur of Example 1 was the smallest. Regarding the blur, it is assumed that the total light transmittance and the haze value described above have a great influence. From the above results, it was revealed that the connecting members according to Examples 1 to 3 are very suitable for the endoscope apparatus.
