第5の態様または第6の態様に記載の光学部材の製造方法である。
物体側と眼球側にそれぞれ光学面を有する眼鏡レンズであって、
前記光学面の少なくとも一方に、デフォーカス部が形成されたデフォーカス領域と、前記デフォーカス部が形成されていないベース領域と、を備え、
前記デフォーカス部は、複数個所に形成され、
前記デフォーカス部がX回の回転対称の形状を有するとともに、前記デフォーカス部の配置がY回の回転対称であるとき、XとYがともに3の倍数であるか、又は、XとYがともに4の倍数である、
眼鏡レンズである。
前記眼鏡レンズを透過する光線が前記ベース領域によって焦点を結ぶ位置と、前記眼鏡レンズを透過する光線が前記デフォーカス部によって焦点を結ぶ位置とが、互いに異なるように構成された、
第8の態様に記載の眼鏡レンズである。
図1は、本実施形態に係る眼鏡レンズの要部構成例を示す側断面図である。
眼鏡レンズ1は、光学面として、物体側の面2と眼球側の面3とを有する。物体側の面2は、眼鏡レンズ1を備えた眼鏡が装用者に装用された際に物体側に位置する表面である。眼球側の面3は、その反対、すなわち眼鏡レンズ1を備えた眼鏡が装用者に装用された際に眼球側に位置する表面である。
また、個々のデフォーカス部4の形状と、複数のデフォーカス部4の配置には、相関があるように設計することも可能である。例えば、デフォーカス部4の形状がX回の回転対称であって、配置がY回の回転対称であるとき、XとYがともに3の倍数である場合、又は、XとYがともに4の倍数である場合が挙げられる。具体的には、XとYがともに6である場合、またはともに4である場合が好適に適用できる。このような相関による規則性が満たされる場合には、眼鏡レンズ1の光学的な作用に利点がある。すなわち、装用者の網膜上の像にぼけが生じる場合であっても、ぼけの生じ方が回転対称となるため、装用者には違和感が生じにくい。規則性のないぼけ像は、装用者に認識されやすいが、規則性、とくに回転対称性のぼけ像は、認識されにくく、装用者への不快感や、疲労感を生じさせにくい。
図2および図3は、デフォーカス部の配置例を模式的に示す説明図である。
例えば、図2に示すように、3回対称の立体形状(例えば三角形)をもつデフォーカス部4(図中A参照)が、3回対称(又は6回対称)の配置で配列される場合は、対称性を損なうことがないので、好ましい態様である。6回対称の立体形状(例えば六角形)をもつデフォーカス部4(図中B参照)についても同様である。ただし、4回対称の立体形状(例えば四角形)をもつデフォーカス部4(図中C参照)については、3回対称(又は6回対称)の配置で配列されると、対称性が損なわれ得る。
また、例えば、図3に示すように、4回対称の立体形状(例えば四角形)をもつデフォーカス部4(図中C参照)が、4回対称の配置で配列される場合は、対称性を損なうことがないので、好ましい態様である。ただし、3回対称の立体形状(例えば三角形)をもつデフォーカス部4(図中A参照)または6回対称の立体形状(例えば六角形)をもつデフォーカス部4(図中B参照)については、4回対称の配置で配列されると、対称性が損なわれ得る。
上述した構成の眼鏡レンズ1は、以下の手順を経て製造される。具体的には、眼鏡レンズ1は、基材形成工程と、必要に応じて膜形成工程と、を経て製造される。
具体的には、樹脂材料として、例えば、ポリカーボネート樹脂、ウレタンウレア樹脂、(チオ)ウレタン樹脂、ポリスルフィド樹脂、ポリアミド樹脂、ポリエステル樹脂、アクリルアリル樹脂、(メタ)アクリル樹脂をはじめとするスチレン樹脂、ジエチレングリコールビスアリルカーボネート樹脂(CR-39)等のアリルカーボネート樹脂、ビニル樹脂、ポリエーテル樹脂、等が挙げられる。これらの中で、ポリカーボネート樹脂(熱可塑性樹脂)は、モールド中での固化所用時間が短い(例えば、10分以下)ため、生産効率が高く、すなわち生産コスト上有利である。(チオ)ウレタン樹脂とは、イソシアネート化合物とポリチオール化合物とを反応させたチオウレタン樹脂、および、イソシアネート化合物とジエチレングリコールなどのヒドロキシ化合物との反応で得られたウレタン樹脂から選ばれる少なくとも1種を意味する。これらの中でも(チオ)ウレタン樹脂、ポリスルフィド樹脂が好ましい。これらは、高屈折率(例えば、1.6以上)の眼鏡レンズとすることができる利点をもつ。また、例えば、分子内に1つ以上のジスルフィド結合を有する(チオ)エポキシ化合物を含有する硬化性組成物を硬化した硬化物(一般に透明樹脂と呼ばれる。)であってもよい。硬化性組成物は、重合性組成物と称しても構わない。また、樹脂材料は、染色されていないもの(無色レンズ)を用いてもよく、染色されているもの(染色レンズ)を用いてもよい。上記(チオ)ウレタン樹脂を含む、熱硬化性樹脂は、成形に要する時間が長く(例えば、10~20時間程度)、モールドの占有時間が長いため、多数のモールドを使用して生産することが効率的である。したがって、比較的安価で製作の容易なガラスモールドが有利に使用できる。
なお、上述した範囲内でも、屈折率は、以下のようであることが特に好ましい。すなわち、樹脂材料によって形成されるレンズ基材は、屈折率1.50以上であることが好ましく、屈折率1.60以上のいわゆる高屈折率のものであることがより好ましい。
好ましいレンズ基材の市販品としては、アリルカーボネート系プラスチックレンズ「HILUX1.50」(HOYA株式会社製、屈折率1.50)、チオウレタン系プラスチックレンズ「MERIA」(HOYA株式会社製、屈折率1.60)、チオウレタン系プラスチックレンズ「EYAS」(HOYA株式会社製、屈折率1.60)、チオウレタン系プラスチックレンズ「EYNOA」(HOYA株式会社製、屈折率1.67)、ポリスルフィド系プラスチックレンズ「EYRY」(HOYA株式会社製、屈折率1.70)、ポリスルフィド系プラスチックレンズ「EYVIA」(HOYA株式会社製、屈折率1.74)等が挙げられる。
HC膜は、例えば、ケイ素化合物を含む硬化性材料を用いて構成されたもので、3μm~4μm程度の厚さで形成された膜である。HC膜の屈折率(nD)は、上述したレンズ基材の材料の屈折率に近く、例えば1.49~1.74程度であり、レンズ基材の材料に応じて膜構成が選択される。このようなHC膜の被覆によって、眼鏡レンズの耐久性向上が図れるようになる。HC膜の成膜は、例えば、ケイ素化合物を含む硬化性材料を溶解させた溶液を用いた浸漬法(Dipping method)によって行えばよい。
AR膜は、屈折率の異なる膜を積層させた多層構造を有し、干渉作用によって光の反射を防止する膜である。具体的には、AR膜は、低屈折率層と高屈折率層とが積層された多層構造を有して構成されている。低屈折率層は、例えば、屈折率1.43~1.47程度の二酸化珪素(SiO2)からなる。また、高屈折率層は、低屈折率層よりも高い屈折率を有する材料からなり、例えば、酸化ジルコニウム(ZrO2)、酸化錫(SnO2)、酸化ニオブ(Nb2O5)、酸化タンタル(Ta2O5)、酸化チタン(TiO2)、酸化イットリウム(Y2O3)、酸化アルミニウム(Al2O3)、これらの混合物(例えば酸化インジウムスズ(ITO))等を用いて構成される。ただし、多層構造のAR膜の最表層は、必ず低屈折率層(例えば、SiO2層)となるように構成されているものとする。このようなAR膜の被覆によって、眼鏡レンズを透した像の視認性向上が図れるようになる。AR膜の成膜は、例えば、イオンアシスト蒸着を適用して行えばよい。
次に、基材形成工程で用いる成形モールドについて、その製造方法を説明する。
図4は、本実施形態に係るモールド製造方法の手順の一例を示すフロー図である。
図例のように、本実施形態では、少なくとも、ガラスモールド準備工程(ステップ11、以下ステップを「S」と略す。)と、凹形状部形成工程(S12)と、面形状研磨工程(S13)とを経て、眼鏡レンズ1を形成する成形モールドが製造される。
短パルスレーザ光の波長は、例えば、355nmのTHG(Third Harmonic Generation)または532nmのSHG(Second Harmonic Generation)である。ただし、これに限らず、例えば、1064nmの基本波長または266nmのFHG(Forth Harmonic Generation)であってもよい。短パルスレーザ光のパルスエネルギーは、例えば、50kHzで0.1μJ以上30μJ以下(最大60μJ程度)である。短パルスレーザ光のビーム径は、例えば、10μm以上30μm以下である。
非加熱加工とは、例えばアブレーション加工とも呼ばれ、短パルスレーザ光の多光子吸収現象により非加熱で加工を行う技術である。さらに詳しくは、非加熱加工は、加工箇所周辺の熱の影響を極力抑え、大気圧下でかなりの高温でしか溶融しない材料でも短パルスレーザ光の照射箇所が瞬時に溶融し、蒸発、飛散することで行われる除去加工である。このような非加熱加工によれば、溶融された箇所が瞬時に蒸発、飛散し除去されるため、加工箇所周辺への熱影響が少なく、熱損傷(熱による変形等)を抑えた加工を行うことができる。
つまり、短パルスレーザ光を用いることで、熱影響が伝達する前に発振が終わるため熱影響がほとんど無い非加熱加工が可能となる。したがって、難加工材であるガラス材によって形成されたガラスモールドであっても、短パルスレーザ光の照射により部分的な除去加工を行って、凹形状部を形成することが可能となる。
パルススプリットモードは、短パルスレーザ光の1パルスを一つの位置に対して照射(ショット)するとともに、各ショットの照射位置をガルバノスキャナ等の利用によって二次元または三次元で移動させるモードである。
このようなパルススプリットモードにより、短パルスレーザ光のビーム径が例えば10μm以上30μm以下であっても、平面視したときの径が例えば0.6~2.0mmであるデフォーカス部4に対応する凹形状部を形成することが可能となる。つまり、凹形状部の形成に際しては、一つの凹形状部を短パルスレーザ光の複数ショットによって形成することになる。
図5は、本実施形態に係るモールド製造方法における短パルスレーザ光の複数ショットの配置例を示す説明図である。
図例では、平面視が円形状の凹形状部7の形成にあたり、短パルスレーザ光の複数ショット8の位置を円周状に並べてショット列を構成するとともに、円周の径が異なる複数のショット列を同心円状に並べて配置している。ここでは、個々のショットごとのサイズ(径)は同一としている。また、ショット列による同心円の中心は、得ようとする眼鏡レンズ1の光学中心に対応するものとしてもよい。
本実施形態によれば、以下に示す1つまたは複数の効果が得られる。
したがって、本実施形態によれば、形成すべき光学面が複雑な形状の場合であっても、その光学面の製造に用いる成形モールドを容易に得ることができ、しかも、その成形モールドは様々な種類の樹脂材料に対応可能なものとなる。
以上に本発明の実施形態を説明したが、上述した開示内容は、本発明の例示的な実施形態を示すものである。すなわち、本発明の技術的範囲は、上述の例示的な実施形態に限定されるものではなく、その要旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々変更可能である。
