Description

プラスチックレンズ、レンズユニットおよびプラスチックレンズの製造方法PLASTIC LENS, LENS UNIT AND PLASTIC LENS MANUFACTURING METHOD
　本発明は、プラスチックレンズ、レンズユニットおよびプラスチックレンズの製造方法に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a plastic lens, a lens unit, and a method of manufacturing a plastic lens.
　プラスチックレンズは、ガラスレンズに比べて、成形性等に優れている一方、傷が付きやすい。このため、レンズユニット等において最も物体側に配置されるレンズにはガラスレンズが多用される（例えば、特許文献１参照）。一方、アクリル樹脂やカーボネート樹脂からなるプラスチック製のレンズ本体の表面にハードコート層を設け、傷が付きにくくする技術が提案されている（例えば、特許文献２参照）。 Compared to glass lenses, plastic lenses have excellent moldability, but are easily scratched. For this reason, a glass lens is often used as the lens arranged closest to the object side in a lens unit or the like (see, for example, Patent Document 1). On the other hand, there has been proposed a technique of providing a hard coat layer on the surface of a plastic lens body made of acrylic resin or carbonate resin to make it less likely to be scratched (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

　特許文献２に記載のプラスチックレンズは、眼鏡レンズを対象とするものである。一方、監視カメラや車載カメラに用いられるレンズには、眼鏡レンズと比較して、温度変化が大きな環境下で使用されるため、耐久品質がより強く求められる。このため、特許文献２に記載の構成では、十分に対応することができないという問題点ある。 The plastic lens described in Patent Document 2 is intended for spectacle lenses. On the other hand, lenses used in surveillance cameras and in-vehicle cameras are required to be more durable than spectacle lenses because they are used in environments with large temperature changes. Therefore, there is a problem that the configuration described in Patent Document 2 cannot sufficiently cope with this problem.
　以上の問題点に鑑みて、本発明の課題は、例えば耐久品質をより向上することができるプラスチックレンズ、およびレンズユニットを提供することにある。 In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a plastic lens and a lens unit that can further improve durability, for example.

In addition, since the outermost layer of the antireflection layer is a silicon dioxide film, the plastic lens is less likely to be scratched in an actual usage environment, and blurring and distortion of images as a lens unit are less likely to occur. Therefore, a highly durable lens unit can be configured. Furthermore, in the present invention, since the film thickness ts of the outermost layer is 60 nm or more and 150 nm or less, the antireflection layer is excellent in chemical resistance and the antireflection properties of the optical thin film are obtained.

　　　７０％≦ＤＰ≦１００％・・・（１０）
　を満たすことが好ましい。 In the plastic lens according to the present invention, the lens body has a cyclic imide structure as a ring structure, the hard coat layer contains silica particles, and S is the content of the silica particles in the hard coat layer. When the content rate S is the following conditional expression (9)
20%≦S≦40% (9)

　ここで、ハードコート層のシリカ含有率が高くなれば、ハードコート層の表面に設けた反射防止層の硬度を高くすることができる。しかしながら、シリカ含有率が高くなると、プラスチックレンズの耐候性が低下しやすくなる。より具体的には、このプラスチックレンズを屋外で使用する場合には、温湿度変化や紫外線などによって、ハードコート層に亀裂が発生しやすい。よって、本発明によれば、ハードコート層の重合度が条件式（１０）の範囲であれば、シリカ含有率を条件式（９）の範囲まで下げても反射防止層の硬度を高くすることができる。また、シリカ含有率を下げることができるので、このプラスチックレンズを屋外で使用しても、ハードコート層に亀裂が発生しにくい。よって、プラスチックレンズの耐久品質をより向上させることができる。 Here, if the silica content of the hard coat layer increases, the hardness of the antireflection layer provided on the surface of the hard coat layer can be increased. However, when the silica content increases, the weather resistance of the plastic lens tends to decrease. More specifically, when this plastic lens is used outdoors, cracks are likely to occur in the hard coat layer due to changes in temperature and humidity, ultraviolet rays, and the like. Therefore, according to the present invention, if the degree of polymerization of the hard coat layer is within the range of conditional expression (10), the hardness of the antireflection layer can be increased even if the silica content is reduced to the range of conditional expression (9). can be done. In addition, since the silica content can be lowered, cracks are less likely to occur in the hard coat layer even when this plastic lens is used outdoors. Therefore, the durability quality of the plastic lens can be further improved.
　本発明において、前記ハードコート層の膜厚ＨＣは、以下の条件式（１１）
　　　６μｍ≦ＨＣ≦１５μｍ・・・（１１）
　を満たすことが好ましい。このようにすれば、ハードコート層の表面に設けた反射防止層の硬度を高くすることができる。 In the present invention, the film thickness HC of the hard coat layer is determined by the following conditional expression (11)
6 μm≦HC≦15 μm (11)
is preferably satisfied. By doing so, the hardness of the antireflection layer provided on the surface of the hard coat layer can be increased.
　本発明において、前記反射防止層を前記レンズ本体とは反対側から覆う防汚層、を備えることが好ましい。このようにすれば、プラスチックレンズを屋外で使用する場合に、プラスチックレンズの表面が汚れにくいので、プラスチックレンズのレンズ性能が低下することを抑制することができる。 In the present invention, it is preferable to include an antifouling layer that covers the antireflection layer from the side opposite to the lens body. In this way, when the plastic lens is used outdoors, the surface of the plastic lens is less likely to become dirty, so deterioration of the lens performance of the plastic lens can be suppressed.
　本発明において、前記レンズ本体のガラス転移温度は１２０℃以上であることが好ましい。このようにすれば、反射防止層を成膜する際に、成膜温度を低く抑えることが可能となる。これにより、反射防止層の残留応力を低減できるので、反射防止層に傷がつきにくい。 In the present invention, the glass transition temperature of the lens body is preferably 120°C or higher. By doing so, it is possible to keep the film forming temperature low when forming the antireflection layer. As a result, the residual stress of the antireflection layer can be reduced, so that the antireflection layer is less likely to be damaged.
　次に、本発明は、少なくともプラスチックレンズの一方面に反射防止層を形成する形成工程を含むプラスチックレンズの製造方法において、前記プラスチックレンズのガラス転移温度は１２０℃以上であり、前記形成工程では、前記反射防止層の成膜温度は、前記プラスチックレンズのガラス転移温度よりも低く、前記反射防止層の成膜温度と前記プラスチックレンズのガラス転移温度との差は、３０℃以上であることを特徴とする。 Next, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a plastic lens, which includes a forming step of forming an antireflection layer on at least one surface of the plastic lens, wherein the plastic lens has a glass transition temperature of 120° C. or higher, and in the forming step, The film forming temperature of the antireflection layer is lower than the glass transition temperature of the plastic lens, and the difference between the film forming temperature of the antireflection layer and the glass transition temperature of the plastic lens is 30° C. or more. and
　本発明において、反射防止層の成膜温度をプラスチックレンズのガラス転移温度より３０℃以上低く抑えることによって、ＭＴＦ変化を抑えることができ、解像度を維持することができる。また、成膜温度を低く抑えることによって、反射防止層の残留応力を低減できるので、反射防止層に傷がつきにくい。 In the present invention, by suppressing the film forming temperature of the antireflection layer to 30°C or more lower than the glass transition temperature of the plastic lens, the MTF change can be suppressed and the resolution can be maintained. In addition, since the residual stress in the antireflection layer can be reduced by keeping the film formation temperature low, the antireflection layer is less likely to be damaged.
　本発明において、反射防止層の総の総膜厚ＡＲは、２００ｎｍ以上、かつ５００ｎｍ以下であるため、プラスチックレンズの反射防止層として優れている。 In the present invention, the total thickness AR of the antireflection layers is 200 nm or more and 500 nm or less, so it is excellent as an antireflection layer for plastic lenses.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the pencil hardness of the plastic lens P shown in FIG. In FIG. 2, the pencil hardness of the plastic lens P to which the present invention is applied using a resin having a cyclic imide structure as a ring structure is indicated by C1, and is related to a comparative example using a general-purpose methacrylic resin having no cyclic imide structure. The pencil hardness of the plastic lens is indicated by C2.
　レンズ本体Ｐ１を構成するプラスチックは、ＪＩＳ－Ｋ７１２１に準拠して測定した場合のガラス転移温度（Ｔｇ）が１１０℃以上であることが好ましい。また、レンズ本体Ｐ１の成形性等を考慮すると、レンズ本体Ｐ１を構成するプラスチックは、ガラス転移温度Ｔｇが２００℃以下であることが好ましい。よって、レンズ本体Ｐ１を構成するプラスチックは、ガラス転移温度Ｔｇが１１０℃以上、かつ２００℃以下であることが好ましい。また、熱的安定性を考慮すると、レンズ本体Ｐ１を構成するプラスチックは、ガラス転移温度Ｔｇが１３０℃以上、かつ２００℃以下であることが好ましい。 The plastic constituting the lens body P1 preferably has a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 110°C or higher when measured according to JIS-K7121. Further, considering the moldability of the lens body P1, it is preferable that the plastic constituting the lens body P1 has a glass transition temperature Tg of 200° C. or less. Therefore, it is preferable that the plastic constituting the lens body P1 has a glass transition temperature Tg of 110° C. or more and 200° C. or less. In consideration of thermal stability, it is preferable that the plastic constituting the lens body P1 has a glass transition temperature Tg of 130° C. or more and 200° C. or less.

In this embodiment, the lens body P1 is composed only of the structural unit (X) and the structural unit (Y).
　かかる構造単位を含むメタクリル系樹脂は、耐熱性と光学特性との両方に優れている。より具体的には、レンズ本体Ｐ１を構成する樹脂は、環状イミド構造を有するため、透明であり、通常のメタクリル系樹脂等と比較してガラス転移温度Ｔｇが３０℃から４０℃高い。従って、レンズ本体Ｐ１は、例えば１１０℃の温度に晒されても変形せず、光透過率は９０％を超える。かかる樹脂については、例えば、日本国公開公報特開２０１８－５３０４４号公報や日本国公開公報特開２０２０－６３４３６号公報に例示されている。 A methacrylic resin containing such a structural unit is excellent in both heat resistance and optical properties. More specifically, the resin forming the lens body P1 has a cyclic imide structure, is transparent, and has a glass transition temperature Tg 30° C. to 40° C. higher than that of ordinary methacrylic resins. Therefore, the lens body P1 does not deform even when exposed to a temperature of, for example, 110° C., and the light transmittance exceeds 90%. Such resins are exemplified in, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2018-53044 and Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2020-63436.

　かかる環状イミド構造を有する樹脂を用いてレンズ本体Ｐ１を形成した場合には、環状イミド構造を有しない汎用のメタクリル樹脂を用いてレンズ本体Ｐ１を形成した場合よりレンズ面の鉛筆硬度が高い。例えば、環状イミド構造を有しない汎用のメタクリル樹脂を用いてレンズ本体Ｐ１を形成した場合、ハードコート層Ｐ２および反射防止層Ｐ３を設けた状態におけるレンズ面の鉛筆硬度は、図２に棒グラフＣ２で示すように、約５Ｈであるのに対し、環状イミド構造を有するメタクリル樹脂を用いてレンズ本体Ｐ１を形成した場合、ハードコート層Ｐ２および反射防止層Ｐ３を設けた状態におけるレンズ面の鉛筆硬度は、図２に棒グラフＣ１で示すように、約６Ｈである。なお、プラスチックレンズＰの樹脂材料には、紫外線吸収剤を添加してもよい。 When the lens body P1 is formed using a resin having such a cyclic imide structure, the pencil hardness of the lens surface is higher than when the lens body P1 is formed using a general-purpose methacrylic resin having no cyclic imide structure. For example, when the lens body P1 is formed using a general-purpose methacrylic resin that does not have a cyclic imide structure, the pencil hardness of the lens surface with the hard coat layer P2 and the antireflection layer P3 provided is represented by the bar graph C2 in FIG. As shown, while the hardness is about 5H, when the lens body P1 is formed using a methacrylic resin having a cyclic imide structure, the pencil hardness of the lens surface with the hard coat layer P2 and the antireflection layer P3 provided is , about 6H, as shown by bar graph C1 in FIG. Incidentally, the resin material of the plastic lens P may be added with an ultraviolet absorber.
（ハードコート層Ｐ２の構成）
　図１に示すプラスチックレンズＰにおいて、ハードコート層Ｐ２は、プラスチックレンズ基材に耐擦傷性を付与するとともに、レンズ本体Ｐ１を構成するプラスチック基材と反射防止層Ｐ３との密着性を高めている。 (Structure of hard coat layer P2)
In the plastic lens P shown in FIG. 1, the hard coat layer P2 imparts scratch resistance to the plastic lens base material and enhances the adhesion between the plastic base material constituting the lens body P1 and the antireflection layer P3. .
　本形態において、ハードコート層Ｐ２は、有機材料層や有機ケイ素化合物層からなるベース層を備える。また、ハードコート層Ｐ２は、ベース層に金属酸化物微粒子が分散した層からなる。金属酸化物微粒子の具体例としてはＳｉＯ２、Ａｌ２Ｏ３、ＳｎＯ２、ＴｉＯ２等の金属酸化物からなる。本形態では、金属酸化物微粒子として、ＳｉＯ２（シリカ）が用いられる。 In this embodiment, the hard coat layer P2 includes a base layer made of an organic material layer or an organic silicon compound layer. Further, the hard coat layer P2 is composed of a layer in which metal oxide fine particles are dispersed in a base layer. Specific examples of metal oxide fine particles are metal oxides such as SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , SnO 2 and TiO 2 . In this embodiment, SiO 2 (silica) is used as the metal oxide fine particles.
　有機材料層の形成には、各種樹脂層が用いられる。有機ケイ素化合物層の形成には、例えば、テトラメトキシシラン、テトラエトキシシラン、テトラプロポキシシラン、テトライソプロポキシシラン、テトラブトキシシラン、ビニルトリアルコキシシラン、アリルトリアルコキシシラン、アクリルオキシプロピルトリアルコキシシラン等が用いられる。
　ハードコート層Ｐ２を形成するための塗布液は、ベース層を形成するための液状物に金属酸化物微粒子を分散させた塗布液が用いられる。また、ハードコート層Ｐ２を形成する際、レンズ本体Ｐ１の表面に、レンズ本体Ｐ１とハードコート層Ｐ２との密着性等を向上するための酸処理やプライマー処理等の前処理が行われることがある。 Various resin layers are used for forming the organic material layer. For forming the organosilicon compound layer, for example, tetramethoxysilane, tetraethoxysilane, tetrapropoxysilane, tetraisopropoxysilane, tetrabutoxysilane, vinyltrialkoxysilane, allyltrialkoxysilane, acryloxypropyltrialkoxysilane and the like are used. Used.
As the coating liquid for forming the hard coat layer P2, a coating liquid in which metal oxide fine particles are dispersed in the liquid for forming the base layer is used. Further, when the hard coat layer P2 is formed, the surface of the lens body P1 may be subjected to pretreatment such as acid treatment or primer treatment to improve adhesion between the lens body P1 and the hard coat layer P2. be.
（ハードコート層Ｐ２の形成方法等）
　図３は、図１に示すプラスチックレンズＰのハードコート層Ｐ２を形成する条件を示す説明図である。図４は、図１に示すハードコート層Ｐ２を形成するための塗布液の粘度とハードコート層の厚さとの関係を示すグラフである。図５は、図１に示すハードコート層におけるシリカ含有率と反射防止層表面の鉛筆硬度との関係を示すグラフである。 (Method for forming hard coat layer P2, etc.)
FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing conditions for forming the hard coat layer P2 of the plastic lens P shown in FIG. FIG. 4 is a graph showing the relationship between the viscosity of the coating liquid for forming the hard coat layer P2 shown in FIG. 1 and the thickness of the hard coat layer. FIG. 5 is a graph showing the relationship between the silica content in the hard coat layer shown in FIG. 1 and the pencil hardness of the antireflection layer surface.
　ハードコート層Ｐ２を形成する工程では、ディッピング法、スピンコート法、スプレー法等の塗布方法を用いて塗膜を形成した後に、塗膜に熱、紫外線等の電磁波または電子ビームなどによって硬化させる。熱を用いる場合には、塗布液を塗布した後、４０～２００℃の温度で数時間程度、加熱乾燥する方法が例示できる。塗布液における金属酸化物微粒子の配合量が少なすぎると、形成されるハードコート層Ｐ２の耐摩耗性が不十分となる場合がある。一方、塗布液における金属酸化物微粒子の配合量が多すぎると、ハードコート層Ｐ２にクラックが生じる場合がある。 In the step of forming the hard coat layer P2, after forming a coating film using a coating method such as dipping, spin coating, or spraying, the coating is cured by heat, electromagnetic waves such as ultraviolet rays, or electron beams. When heat is used, a method of heating and drying at a temperature of 40 to 200° C. for several hours after applying the coating liquid can be exemplified. If the amount of the metal oxide fine particles in the coating solution is too small, the resulting hard coat layer P2 may have insufficient wear resistance. On the other hand, when the amount of the metal oxide fine particles blended in the coating liquid is too large, cracks may occur in the hard coat layer P2.
　ハードコート層Ｐ２の材料としては、光硬化性樹脂材料であることが好ましい。本形態において、ハードコート層形成工程では、アクリルおよび／またはウレタンから成る光硬化性樹脂材料、および金属酸化物微粒子を含む塗布液をスピンコート法によって塗布した後、塗布液からなる塗膜に熱を与えて乾燥させた後、紫外線灯の電磁波または電子ビーム等によって光硬化させ、ハードコート層Ｐ２を形成する。従って、レンズ本体Ｐ１のガラス転移温度Ｔｇ未満の温度でハードコート層Ｐ２を形成することができる。さらに、ハードコート層Ｐ２がアクリルおよび／またはウレタン等から成る光硬化性樹脂であるため、レンズ本体Ｐ１との密着性に優れており、レンズ本体Ｐ１と反射防止層Ｐ３との間で優れた緩衝層として機能する。 The material for the hard coat layer P2 is preferably a photocurable resin material. In the present embodiment, in the hard coat layer forming step, a coating liquid containing a photocurable resin material made of acrylic and/or urethane and metal oxide fine particles is applied by a spin coating method, and then a coating film made of the coating liquid is heated. After drying, the hard coat layer P2 is formed by photocuring with electromagnetic waves or electron beams from an ultraviolet lamp. Therefore, the hard coat layer P2 can be formed at a temperature lower than the glass transition temperature Tg of the lens body P1. Furthermore, since the hard coat layer P2 is a photocurable resin made of acrylic and/or urethane, etc., it has excellent adhesion to the lens body P1, and excellent buffering is achieved between the lens body P1 and the antireflection layer P3. act as a layer.
　なお、本形態では、ハードコート層Ｐ２の材料は光硬化性樹脂材料を使用したが、ハードコート層Ｐ２の材料は、光硬化性樹脂材料に替えて熱硬化性樹脂材料であってもよい。 In this embodiment, a photocurable resin material is used as the material for the hard coat layer P2, but the material for the hard coat layer P2 may be a thermosetting resin material instead of the photocurable resin material.
　スピンコート法では、レンズ本体Ｐ１の一方面Ｐａに塗布液を滴下した後、レンズ本体Ｐ１を光軸Ｌ周りに回転させて塗布液の塗膜を形成する。その際、ハードコート層Ｐ２を十分に厚く形成するには、塗布液の高粘度化が考えられるが、従来の塗布条件のまま、塗布液の粘性を高めると、塗膜の均一性が悪くなり、レンズ形状が実質的に歪んでしまう。
　従って、本形態では、粘度が２６ｍＰａ・ｓ～５０ｍＰａ・ｓの比較的高粘度の塗布液を塗布し、レンズ本体Ｐ１の表面全体に塗布液が行き渡るように、滴下した後、スピンコーターの回転を、図３に示すように制御する。 In the spin coating method, after dropping the coating liquid onto one surface Pa of the lens body P1, the lens body P1 is rotated around the optical axis L to form a coating film of the coating liquid. At that time, in order to form the hard coat layer P2 sufficiently thick, it is conceivable to increase the viscosity of the coating liquid. , the lens shape is substantially distorted.
Therefore, in this embodiment, a relatively high-viscosity coating liquid having a viscosity of 26 mPa·s to 50 mPa·s is applied, and after dropping the coating liquid so that it spreads over the entire surface of the lens body P1, the spin coater is rotated. , are controlled as shown in FIG.
　より具体的には、まず、１次回転では、スピンコーターの回転速度に所定の加速勾配を付けて徐々に加速させた後、一定速度で一定時間回転させ、その後、所定の減速勾配を付けて、徐々に減速する。より具体的には、１次回転では、加速勾配ａ１、等速回転時の角速度ｒ１、および減速勾配ｄ１を各々、以下の条件とする。
　　ａ１＝１００ｒｐｍ／ｓ～３０００ｒｐｍ／ｓ
　　ｒ１=９００ｒｐｍ～３０００ｒｐｍ
　　ｄ１=１００ｒｐｍ／ｓ～３０００ｒｐｍ／ｓ More specifically, first, in the primary rotation, the rotation speed of the spin coater is gradually accelerated with a predetermined acceleration gradient, then rotated at a constant speed for a predetermined time, and then with a predetermined deceleration gradient. , gradually decelerate. More specifically, in the primary rotation, the acceleration gradient a1, the angular velocity r1 during constant-speed rotation, and the deceleration gradient d1 are set as follows.
a1 = 100 rpm/s to 3000 rpm/s
r1=900rpm~3000rpm
d1=100rpm/s~3000rpm/s
　例えば、１次回転では、一定速度で一定時間回転させる際の角速度ｒ１を１０００ｒｐｍとし、回転時間を１０秒とする。また、角速度ｒ１が１０００ｒｐｍとなるまでの加速勾配ａ１を３３３ｒｐｍ／ｓとし、減速勾配ｄ１を２００ｒｐｍ／ｓとする。 For example, in the primary rotation, the angular velocity r1 when rotating at a constant speed for a certain period of time is 1000 rpm, and the rotation time is 10 seconds. Also, the acceleration gradient a1 until the angular velocity r1 reaches 1000 rpm is assumed to be 333 rpm/s, and the deceleration gradient d1 is assumed to be 200 rpm/s.
　次に、１次回転後の塗布状態を確認し、その確認結果によっては、１次回転より早い速度で一定時間回転させる２次回転を行う。２次回転でも、１次回転と同様、スピンコーターの回転速度に所定の加速勾配を付けて徐々に加速させた後、一定速度で一定時間回転させ、その後、所定の減速勾配を付けて、徐々に減速する。より具体的には、等速回転時の角速度ｒ２を１次回転における角速度ｒ１の２倍以上とする。 Next, the coating state after the primary rotation is checked, and depending on the confirmation result, the secondary rotation is performed for a certain period of time at a speed faster than the primary rotation. In the secondary rotation, as in the primary rotation, the rotation speed of the spin coater is gradually accelerated with a predetermined acceleration gradient, then rotated at a constant speed for a certain period of time, and then gradually applied with a predetermined deceleration gradient. slow down to More specifically, the angular velocity r2 during uniform rotation is set to be at least twice the angular velocity r1 during primary rotation.
　例えば、２次回転では、一定速度で一定時間回転させる際の角速度ｒ２を３０００ｒｐｍとし、回転時間を９秒とする。また、角速度ｒ２が３０００ｒｐｍとなるまでの加速勾配ａ２を３０００ｒｐｍ／ｓとし、減速勾配ｄ２を６００ｒｐｍ／ｓとする。 For example, in the secondary rotation, the angular velocity r2 when rotating at a constant speed for a certain period of time is 3000 rpm, and the rotation time is 9 seconds. Further, the acceleration gradient a2 until the angular velocity r2 reaches 3000 rpm is assumed to be 3000 rpm/s, and the deceleration gradient d2 is assumed to be 600 rpm/s.
　なお、１次回転および２次回転を行って塗布液の塗膜を形成する場合、２次回転では、１次回転の等速回転から減速させることなく、所定の加速勾配を付けて徐々に加速させた後、一定速度で一定時間回転させ、その後、所定の減速勾配を付けて、徐々に減速するように構成してもよい。 When the coating liquid is formed by performing the primary rotation and the secondary rotation, the secondary rotation gradually accelerates with a predetermined acceleration gradient without decelerating from the uniform rotation of the primary rotation. After that, it may be rotated at a constant speed for a certain period of time, and then gradually decelerated with a predetermined deceleration gradient.
　このような条件でハードコート層Ｐ２を形成する際、塗布液の粘度とハードコート層Ｐ２の厚さとの関係は、図４に示す通りである。図４では、標準的な粘度とした場合の結果を丸で示し、粘度を２６ｍＰａ・ｓ～５０ｍＰａ・ｓまで高粘度化した場合の結果を三角で示してある。図４から分かるように、塗布液の粘度が高い場合には、ハードコート層Ｐ２を厚くすることができる。 When forming the hard coat layer P2 under such conditions, the relationship between the viscosity of the coating liquid and the thickness of the hard coat layer P2 is as shown in FIG. In FIG. 4, the circles show the results when the standard viscosity is used, and the triangles show the results when the viscosity is increased from 26 mPa·s to 50 mPa·s. As can be seen from FIG. 4, the hard coat layer P2 can be thickened when the viscosity of the coating liquid is high.
　このように本形態では、粘度が２６ｍＰａ・ｓ～５０ｍＰａ・ｓの比較的高粘度の塗布剤を用いることによって、ハードコート層Ｐ２を厚くする。また、塗布剤を滴下した後のスピン工程の条件を上記条件に設定し、加速時および減速時の速度勾配を緩やかにすることによって、急加速および急停止を防ぐ。このため、急加速および急停止に伴う慣性モーメントを小さくすることができるので、十分な厚さのハードコート層Ｐ２を形成した場合でも、塗膜の厚さにばらつきが生じにくい。 Thus, in this embodiment, the hard coat layer P2 is thickened by using a relatively high-viscosity coating agent with a viscosity of 26 mPa·s to 50 mPa·s. Also, by setting the conditions of the spin process after dropping the coating material to the above conditions and making the speed gradient during acceleration and deceleration moderate, sudden acceleration and sudden stop can be prevented. Therefore, the moment of inertia associated with sudden acceleration and sudden stop can be reduced, so even if the hard coat layer P2 is formed with a sufficient thickness, the thickness of the coating film is less likely to vary.
　例えば、粘度が４６ｍＰａ・ｓの塗布剤を用いた場合、レンズ本体Ｐ１の一方面Ｐａの中心Ｐａ１に形成されたハードコート層Ｐ２の膜厚は７．４μｍであり、一方面Ｐａの外周Ｐａ２に形成されたハードコート層Ｐ２の膜厚は７．５５μｍであり、一方面Ｐａの中心Ｐａ１と外周Ｐａ２とに形成されたハードコート層Ｐ２の膜厚差は±０．３μｍであった。従って、透過光の光学的歪みが生じないプラスチックレンズＰを実現できる。 For example, when a coating agent having a viscosity of 46 mPa·s is used, the thickness of the hard coat layer P2 formed on the center Pa1 of the one surface Pa of the lens body P1 is 7.4 μm, and the thickness of the hard coat layer P2 is 7.4 μm. The thickness of the formed hard coat layer P2 was 7.55 μm, and the difference in thickness between the hard coat layer P2 formed at the center Pa1 and the outer circumference Pa2 of one surface Pa was ±0.3 μm. Therefore, it is possible to realize a plastic lens P that does not cause optical distortion of transmitted light.
　ここで、ハードコート層Ｐ２の膜厚ＨＣは、以下の条件式を満たすことが好ましい。
　　　２μｍ≦ＨＣ≦２０μｍ Here, the film thickness HC of the hard coat layer P2 preferably satisfies the following conditional expression.
2 µm ≤ HC ≤ 20 µm
　膜厚ＨＣが２μｍ以上であれば、高い鉛筆硬度を実現することができる。また、膜厚ＨＣが２０μｍ以下であれば、耐熱衝撃性能を高めることができる。 A high pencil hardness can be achieved if the film thickness HC is 2 μm or more. Moreover, if the film thickness HC is 20 μm or less, the thermal shock resistance can be enhanced.
　好ましくは、ハードコート層Ｐ２の膜厚ＨＣは、以下の条件式を満たすことが好ましい。
　　　５μｍ≦ＨＣ≦１０μｍ Preferably, the film thickness HC of the hard coat layer P2 satisfies the following conditional expression.
5 μm≦HC≦10 μm
　膜厚ＨＣが５μｍ以上であれば、６Ｈ以上の鉛筆硬度を実現することができる。また、膜厚ＨＣが１０μｍ以下であれば、熱衝撃によるクラックの発生をさらに抑制できる。 If the film thickness HC is 5 μm or more, a pencil hardness of 6H or more can be achieved. Also, if the film thickness HC is 10 μm or less, the occurrence of cracks due to thermal shock can be further suppressed.
　より好ましくは、ハードコート層Ｐ２の膜厚ＨＣは、以下の条件式を満たすことが好ましい。
　　　６μｍ≦ＨＣ≦９μｍ More preferably, the film thickness HC of the hard coat layer P2 satisfies the following conditional expression.
6 μm≦HC≦9 μm
　膜厚ＨＣが６μｍ以上であれば、６Ｈ以上の鉛筆硬度を確実に実現することができる。また、膜厚ＨＣが９μｍ以下であれば、－４０℃および８５℃の各々で３０分保持する熱衝撃試験を１０００サイクル行った場合でも反射防止層Ｐ３に欠陥が発生しにくい。 If the film thickness HC is 6 μm or more, a pencil hardness of 6H or more can be reliably achieved. Further, when the film thickness HC is 9 μm or less, defects are less likely to occur in the antireflection layer P3 even after 1000 cycles of a thermal shock test at −40° C. and 85° C. for 30 minutes each.
　また、レンズ本体Ｐ１の一方面Ｐａにおける中心Ｐａ１と外周Ｐａ２とにおけるハードコート層Ｐ２の膜厚差を±０．７μｍ以下とすることが好ましい。 Further, it is preferable that the difference in film thickness of the hard coat layer P2 between the center Pa1 and the outer circumference Pa2 on one surface Pa of the lens body P1 is ±0.7 μm or less.
　ここで、ハードコート層Ｐ２におけるシリカ含有率と反射防止層Ｐ３表面の鉛筆硬度との関係は、図５に示す通りである。 Here, the relationship between the silica content in the hard coat layer P2 and the pencil hardness of the surface of the antireflection layer P3 is as shown in FIG.
　また、図５から分かるように、シリカ含有率が多い程、反射防止層Ｐ３の表面の硬度が高くなる。従って、ハードコート層Ｐ２におけるシリカ粒子の含有率をＳとしたとき、含有率Ｓは以下の条件式
　　　４０％≦Ｓ≦６５％
　を満たすことが好ましい。 Further, as can be seen from FIG. 5, the higher the silica content, the higher the hardness of the surface of the antireflection layer P3. Therefore, when the content of silica particles in the hard coat layer P2 is S, the content S is the following conditional expression: 40% ≤ S ≤ 65%
is preferably satisfied.
　より具体的には、例えば、ハードコート層Ｐ２が６μｍの場合において検証したところ、シリカ含有率を４０％以上とすれば、反射防止層Ｐ３の表面の硬度を鉛筆硬度で６Ｈ以上とすることができる。ここで、ハードコート層Ｐ２のシリカ含有率が６５％を超えると、１０００サイクルの熱衝撃試験（－４０℃～８５℃、３０分）によって反射防止層Ｐ３に欠陥が発生しやすくなる。従って、ハードコート層Ｐ２は、シリカ含有率を４０％以上、かつ６５％以下とすることが好ましく、さらに、シリカ含有率を４４％以上、かつ６２％以下とすることがさらに好ましい。ハードコート層Ｐ２の膜厚ＨＣを変更した場合でも、略同様の結果が得られた。 More specifically, for example, when the hard coat layer P2 has a thickness of 6 μm, when the silica content is 40% or more, the hardness of the surface of the antireflection layer P3 can be 6H or more in pencil hardness. can. Here, when the silica content of the hard coat layer P2 exceeds 65%, defects are likely to occur in the antireflection layer P3 by a 1000-cycle thermal shock test (-40° C. to 85° C., 30 minutes). Therefore, the hard coat layer P2 preferably has a silica content of 40% or more and 65% or less, more preferably 44% or more and 62% or less. Substantially the same results were obtained even when the film thickness HC of the hard coat layer P2 was changed.
（ハードコート層Ｐ２のレンズユニットへの影響）
　以下、プラスチックレンズＰを後述するレンズユニットに用いた場合の影響を説明する。図６は、図１に示すハードコート層Ｐ２の膜厚差とＭＴＦ（Ｍｏｄｕｌａｔｉｏｎ　Ｔｒａｎｓｆｅｒ　Ｆｕｎｃｔｉｏｎ）との関係を示すグラフである。図７は、図１に示すハードコート層Ｐ２の膜厚差と画角との関係を示すグラフである。なお、図６および図７には、レンズ中心と外周の膜厚差が１μｍ、２μｍ、３μｍ、６μｍ、１０μｍ、１５μｍ、２０μｍ、２５μｍの場合の結果を実線ｔ１、ｔ２、ｔ３、ｔ６、ｔ１０、ｔ１５、ｔ２０、ｔ２５で示してある。図６および図７から分かるように、レンズ中心と外周の膜厚差が小さい程、ＭＴＦおよび画角の変化が小さい。 (Influence of Hard Coat Layer P2 on Lens Unit)
The effect of using the plastic lens P in a lens unit, which will be described later, will be described below. FIG. 6 is a graph showing the relationship between the film thickness difference of the hard coat layer P2 shown in FIG. 1 and the MTF (Modulation Transfer Function). FIG. 7 is a graph showing the relationship between the film thickness difference of the hard coat layer P2 shown in FIG. 1 and the angle of view. In FIGS. 6 and 7, solid lines t1, t2, t3, t6, t10, They are indicated by t15, t20 and t25. As can be seen from FIGS. 6 and 7, the smaller the film thickness difference between the lens center and the periphery, the smaller the change in the MTF and the angle of view.
　それ故、レンズの中心Ｐａ１におけるハードコート層Ｐ２の膜厚とレンズの外周Ｐａ２におけるハードコート層Ｐ２の膜厚との差は、１５μｍ以下であることが好ましい。かかる態様によれば、ＭＴＦの変化を小さく抑えることができるため、解像度を維持することができる。また、レンズの中心Ｐａ１の膜厚におけるＭＴＦ変化量と、レンズの外周Ｐａ２の膜厚におけるＭＦＴ変化量との差は、０．０２％以下であることが好ましい。かかる態様によれば、解像度を維持することができる。 Therefore, the difference between the thickness of the hard coat layer P2 at the center Pa1 of the lens and the thickness of the hard coat layer P2 at the outer circumference Pa2 of the lens is preferably 15 μm or less. According to this aspect, the change in MTF can be kept small, so the resolution can be maintained. Moreover, the difference between the MTF change amount in the film thickness at the center Pa1 of the lens and the MFT change amount in the film thickness at the outer circumference Pa2 of the lens is preferably 0.02% or less. According to this aspect, the resolution can be maintained.
　上記のように、従来のスピンコート方法では、レンズ中心と外周の膜厚差が１５μｍを超えるため、ユニットとしての画像がボケる。具体的には６０ｌＰ／ｍｍのＭＴＦの変化量の差が０．０２％を超える。これに対して、本形態によれば、膜厚差の変化量の差が１５μｍ以下となるため、画像がボケない。具体的には、ＭＴＦの差で０．０２％以下となる。なお、膜厚差の変化量の差は、６μｍ以下がより好ましい。 As described above, in the conventional spin coating method, the film thickness difference between the lens center and the outer periphery exceeds 15 μm, so the image as a unit is blurred. Specifically, the difference in the amount of change in MTF at 60 lP/mm exceeds 0.02%. In contrast, according to the present embodiment, the difference in the amount of change in the film thickness difference is 15 μm or less, so the image is not blurred. Specifically, the difference in MTF is 0.02% or less. In addition, the difference in the amount of change in film thickness difference is more preferably 6 μm or less.
　また、プラスチックレンズＰの一方面Ｐａの曲率半径Ｒ１１は、例えば、以下の条件式を満たすことが好ましい。
　　９．０００ｍｍ≦Ｒ１１≦１６．０００ｍｍ Moreover, it is preferable that the curvature radius R11 of the one surface Pa of the plastic lens P satisfies the following conditional expression, for example.
9.000mm≤R11≤16.000mm
　曲率半径Ｒ１１が９．０００ｍｍ未満の場合、レンズ外周での液溜まりの発生を解消しきれず、ハードコート層の膜厚差が３μｍ以上となってしまう。その結果、ＭＴＦ値が１５％以下となってしまう。これに対し、曲率半径Ｒ１１が１６．０００ｍｍを超えると、ハードコート層の膜厚差は低減できるが、魚眼レンズユニット用として不適となってしまう。 If the radius of curvature R11 is less than 9.000 mm, the occurrence of liquid pools on the outer periphery of the lens cannot be eliminated, and the thickness difference of the hard coat layer becomes 3 μm or more. As a result, the MTF value becomes 15% or less. On the other hand, if the radius of curvature R11 exceeds 16.000 mm, the film thickness difference of the hard coat layer can be reduced, but it is unsuitable for a fisheye lens unit.
　それ故、本形態のプラスチックレンズＰを第１レンズＬ１として用いたレンズユニット１００では、実使用環境においてレンズにキズがつきにくい。従って、レンズユニット１００としての画像のボケや乱れが起きにくく、耐久性が高い。また、プラスチックレンズＰであるため、レンズ形状を非球面とすることも容易である。非球面形状とすることで、レンズユニット１００とした構成にした場合、高い解像力を得ることができる。さらに本発明のコーティングをすることで、非球面形状を崩すことなくコーティングすることが可能となるため、以下に説明する反射防止層Ｐ３の効果と合わせて、鉛筆硬度６Ｈ以上を保ちつつ、高解像力なレンズユニット１００とすることができる。 Therefore, in the lens unit 100 using the plastic lens P of this embodiment as the first lens L1, the lens is less likely to be scratched in an actual usage environment. Therefore, the lens unit 100 is less likely to blur or distort images, and has high durability. Moreover, since the lens P is a plastic lens, it is easy to make the lens shape aspherical. By forming the aspherical shape, high resolution can be obtained when the lens unit 100 is configured. Furthermore, by applying the coating of the present invention, it is possible to coat without destroying the aspherical shape. Therefore, combined with the effect of the antireflection layer P3 described below, high resolution is maintained while maintaining a pencil hardness of 6H or more. lens unit 100.
（反射防止層Ｐ３の構成）
　図８は、図１に示す反射防止層Ｐ３の層構造を示す説明図である。図９は、図１に示す反射防止層Ｐ３の光学特性を示す説明図である。図１０は、図１に示す反射防止層Ｐ３のナノインデンター押込み弾性率を示す説明図である。 (Structure of antireflection layer P3)
FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing the layer structure of the antireflection layer P3 shown in FIG. FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing the optical properties of the antireflection layer P3 shown in FIG. FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing the nanoindenter indentation elastic modulus of the antireflection layer P3 shown in FIG.
　図１に示すプラスチックレンズＰにおいて、反射防止層Ｐ３は、低屈折率膜と高屈折率膜とが交互に積層された誘電体多層膜からなる。本形態においては、図８に示すように、反射防止層Ｐ３は、低屈折率膜としての二酸化珪素膜（ＳｉＯ２膜）と高屈折率膜としての四窒化三珪素膜（Ｓｉ３Ｎ４膜）とが交互に積層された誘電体多層膜からなる。 In the plastic lens P shown in FIG. 1, the antireflection layer P3 is composed of a dielectric multilayer film in which a low refractive index film and a high refractive index film are alternately laminated. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the antireflection layer P3 includes a silicon dioxide film (SiO2 film) as a low refractive index film and a trisilicon tetranitride film ( Si3N4 film) as a high refractive index film . are alternately laminated.
　本形態においては、反射防止層Ｐ３では、最上層が二酸化珪素膜であることが望ましい。また、最上層の二酸化珪素膜の膜厚は６０ｎｍ以上であることが好ましい。ここで、反射防止層Ｐ３において成膜される多層膜は、膜性能および成膜作業の効率性を考慮すると、５層または７層程度が好ましく、その反射防止層Ｐ３の総膜厚ＡＲは、以下の条件式を満たすことが好ましい。
　　２００ｎｍ≦ＡＲ≦５００ｎｍ In this embodiment, it is desirable that the top layer of the antireflection layer P3 is a silicon dioxide film. Further, the film thickness of the uppermost silicon dioxide film is preferably 60 nm or more. Here, the multilayer film formed in the antireflection layer P3 is preferably about 5 or 7 layers in consideration of film performance and efficiency of the film formation work, and the total film thickness AR of the antireflection layer P3 is It is preferable to satisfy the following conditional expressions.
200 nm≤AR≤500 nm
　好ましくは、反射防止層Ｐ３の総膜厚ＡＲは、以下の条件式を満たすことが好ましい。
　　２８０ｎｍ≦ＡＲ≦５００ｎｍ Preferably, the total film thickness AR of the antireflection layer P3 satisfies the following conditional expression.
280 nm≤AR≤500 nm
　かかる構成によれば、以下に説明するように、プラスチックレンズＰの反射防止性能に優れている。例えば、反射防止層Ｐ３の総膜厚ＡＲが５００ｎｍを超えると、反射防止層Ｐ３の応力が高すぎて被膜が割れやすくなるとともに、成膜時にレンズ本体Ｐ１の温度が過度に上昇し、レンズ面への影響が生じる。また、反射防止層Ｐ３の総膜厚ＡＲが２００ｎｍ未満であると、適正な反射防止特性が得られないとともに、反射防止層Ｐ３の硬度を確保しにくく、傷がつきやすい。また、反射防止層Ｐ３の総膜厚ＡＲを適正化することにより、反射防止層Ｐ３を成膜する際の温度上昇を抑制すると、ＭＴＦ変化を抑制することができる。それ故、高い解像度を維持することができる等、品位の高い画像を得ることができる。 According to such a configuration, as described below, the antireflection performance of the plastic lens P is excellent. For example, if the total film thickness AR of the antireflection layer P3 exceeds 500 nm, the stress of the antireflection layer P3 is too high and the film tends to crack, and the temperature of the lens body P1 rises excessively during the film formation, causing the lens surface to crack. have an impact on Further, if the total thickness AR of the antireflection layer P3 is less than 200 nm, proper antireflection characteristics cannot be obtained, and it is difficult to secure the hardness of the antireflection layer P3, and the antireflection layer P3 is easily scratched. Also, by optimizing the total film thickness AR of the antireflection layer P3 to suppress the temperature rise during the formation of the antireflection layer P3, the MTF change can be suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a high-quality image such as maintaining a high resolution.
　例えば、図８に示す実施例では、低屈折率膜としての二酸化珪素膜（ＳｉＯ２膜）と高屈折率膜としての四窒化三珪素膜（Ｓｉ３Ｎ４膜）とが交互に計８層、積層されている。最上層は、厚さが１０４．１７ｎｍの二酸化珪素膜であり、反射防止層Ｐ３の総膜厚は、２９６．１８ｎｍである。なお、図８に示す実施例では、第１層目が四窒化三珪素膜であったが、第１層目は二酸化珪素膜であってもよい。また、高屈折率膜としては、四窒化三珪素膜の他に、酸化タンタル膜、酸化チタン膜、酸化ニオブ膜であってもよい。また、低屈折率膜としては、Ａｌ２Ｏ３であってもよい。 For example, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, silicon dioxide films (SiO 2 films) as low refractive index films and trisilicon tetranitride films (Si 3 N 4 films) as high refractive index films are alternately formed into a total of eight layers. , are stacked. The top layer is a silicon dioxide film with a thickness of 104.17 nm, and the total thickness of the antireflection layer P3 is 296.18 nm. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, the first layer is a trisilicon tetranitride film, but the first layer may be a silicon dioxide film. In addition to the trisilicon tetranitride film, the high refractive index film may be a tantalum oxide film, a titanium oxide film, or a niobium oxide film. Al 2 O 3 may be used as the low refractive index film.
　また、図１０に示す実施例のように、本形態の反射防止層Ｐ３は、ナノインデンター押込み弾性率が７０ＧＰａ以上、かつ、１１０ＧＰａ以下である。図１０に示すように、ナノインデンター押込み弾性率が７０ＧＰａ未満であると、反射防止層Ｐ３に割れは生じないが、耐傷性が劣る。一方、ナノインデンター押込み弾性率が１１０ＧＰａを超えると、反射防止層Ｐ３の応力が高すぎて割れが発生するおそがある。それ故、ナノインデンター押込み弾性率が上記範囲であれば、耐傷性と膜応力を両立できる。なお、本形態では、ＥＮＴ－ＮＥＸＵＳ（株式会社エリオニクス）を用いた負荷除荷試験によって、ナノインデンター押込み弾性率を求めた。試験には、Ｂｅｒｋｏｖｉｃｈ型ダイヤモンド圧子を用いた。試験における最大荷重は、１ｍＮ以下である。 Further, as in the example shown in FIG. 10, the antireflection layer P3 of this embodiment has a nanoindenter indentation elastic modulus of 70 GPa or more and 110 GPa or less. As shown in FIG. 10, when the nanoindenter indentation elastic modulus is less than 70 GPa, cracks do not occur in the antireflection layer P3, but the scratch resistance is poor. On the other hand, if the nanoindenter indentation elastic modulus exceeds 110 GPa, the stress of the antireflection layer P3 is too high and cracks may occur. Therefore, if the nanoindenter indentation elastic modulus is within the above range, both scratch resistance and film stress can be achieved. In this embodiment, the nanoindenter indentation elastic modulus was determined by a load-unloading test using ENT-NEXUS (Elionix Co., Ltd.). A Berkovich type diamond indenter was used for the test. The maximum load in the test is 1 mN or less.
　また、反射防止層Ｐ３において、レンズ本体Ｐ１から最も離隔する最外層は二酸化珪素膜であって、最外層の膜厚をｔｓとしたとき、膜厚ｔｓは、以下の条件式
　　６０ｎｍ≦ｔｓ≦１５０ｎｍ
　を満たすことが好ましい。また、より好ましくは、膜厚ｔｓは、以下の条件式
　　６０ｎｍ≦ｔｓ≦１００ｎｍ
　を満たすことが好ましい。 In the antireflection layer P3, the outermost layer farthest from the lens body P1 is a silicon dioxide film.
is preferably satisfied. More preferably, the film thickness ts is determined by the following conditional expression: 60 nm ≤ ts ≤ 100 nm
is preferably satisfied.
　かかる構成によれば、反射防止層Ｐ３の最外層を二酸化珪素膜とし、かつ膜厚を６０ｎｍ以上とすることによって、反射防止層Ｐ３の耐薬品性等の耐久性を向上することができる。また、反射防止層Ｐ３の最外層を二酸化珪素膜としたため、実使用環境においてプラスチックレンズＰにキズがつきにくく、レンズユニットとしての画像のボケや乱れが起きにくい。それ故、耐久性の高いレンズユニットを構成することができる。 According to this configuration, the outermost layer of the antireflection layer P3 is a silicon dioxide film, and the film thickness is 60 nm or more, so that durability such as chemical resistance of the antireflection layer P3 can be improved. In addition, since the outermost layer of the antireflection layer P3 is a silicon dioxide film, the plastic lens P is less likely to be scratched in an actual use environment, and blurring and distortion of images as a lens unit are less likely to occur. Therefore, a highly durable lens unit can be configured.
　かかる反射防止層Ｐ３を設けたプラスチックレンズＰでは、図９に示すように、４２０ｎｍより長波長の可視光に対して優れた反射防止効果を発揮する。
　なお、反射防止層Ｐ３を形成した後、プラスチックレンズ表面の撥水撥油性能を向上させる目的で、含フッ素シラン化合物からなる防汚層が形成されることがある。含フッ素シラン化合物は、有機溶剤に溶解し、所定濃度に調整した撥水処理液を用いて反射防止層上に塗布する方法を採用することができる。 As shown in FIG. 9, the plastic lens P provided with such an antireflection layer P3 exhibits an excellent antireflection effect against visible light with a wavelength longer than 420 nm.
After forming the antireflection layer P3, an antifouling layer made of a fluorine-containing silane compound may be formed for the purpose of improving the water and oil repellency of the plastic lens surface. A fluorine-containing silane compound can be dissolved in an organic solvent, and a water-repellent treatment liquid adjusted to a predetermined concentration can be used to coat the antireflection layer.
（反射防止層Ｐ３の形成工程）
　図１１は、図１に示す反射防止層Ｐ３等のビッカース硬度を示す説明図である。図１１において、反射防止層Ｐ３を蒸着法で形成した場合のビッカース硬度をひし形で示し、５層構造の反射防止層Ｐ３をスパッタ法で形成した場合のビッカース硬度を三角で示し、９層構造の反射防止層Ｐ３をスパッタ法で形成した場合のビッカース硬度を丸で示してある。 (Step of forming antireflection layer P3)
FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram showing the Vickers hardness of the antireflection layer P3 and the like shown in FIG. In FIG. 11, diamonds indicate the Vickers hardness when the antireflection layer P3 is formed by a vapor deposition method, triangles indicate the Vickers hardness when the antireflection layer P3 having a five-layer structure is formed by a sputtering method, and triangles indicate the Vickers hardness when the antireflection layer P3 has a five-layer structure. Circles indicate the Vickers hardness when the antireflection layer P3 is formed by sputtering.
　本形態において、反射防止層形成工程では、真空蒸着法、スパッタリング法、イオンプレーティング法などの物理蒸着法（ＰＶＤ法）、あるいは化学蒸着法（ＣＶＤ法）などを採用することができる。ここで、蒸着されたＡＲ膜と比較して、スパッタされたＡＲ膜は引っかき傷に対する耐性が高くなり、耐擦過性が向上する。 In this embodiment, physical vapor deposition (PVD) such as vacuum deposition, sputtering, and ion plating, or chemical vapor deposition (CVD) can be employed in the antireflection layer forming step. Here, sputtered AR films are more scratch resistant and have improved scratch resistance compared to evaporated AR films.
　例えば、図１１には、スパッタ法および蒸着法で形成した反射防止層Ｐ３のビッカース硬度を比較して示してある。なお、図１１には、スパッタ法によって約２００ｎｍから約５５０ｎｍの厚さで形成した反射防止層Ｐ３のビッカース硬度を、蒸着法によって約２５０ｎｍの厚さで形成した反射防止層Ｐ３のビッカース硬度と比較して示してある。図１１から分かるように、蒸着法によれば、ビッカース硬度が４００ｋｇｆ／ｍｍ２未満の反射防止層Ｐ３しか実現できないのに対し、スパッタ法によれば、ビッカース硬度が４００ｋｇｆ／ｍｍ２を超える反射防止層Ｐ３を実現することができる。 For example, FIG. 11 shows a comparison of the Vickers hardness of the antireflection layer P3 formed by the sputtering method and the vapor deposition method. FIG. 11 compares the Vickers hardness of the antireflection layer P3 formed by sputtering to a thickness of about 200 nm to about 550 nm with the Vickers hardness of the antireflection layer P3 formed to a thickness of about 250 nm by vapor deposition. shown as As can be seen from FIG. 11, the vapor deposition method can only realize an antireflection layer P3 having a Vickers hardness of less than 400 kgf/mm2, whereas the sputtering method can realize an antireflection layer P3 having a Vickers hardness of more than 400 kgf/mm2. can be realized.
　従って、本形態では、スパッタ法によって反射防止層Ｐ３を形成する。より具体的には、例えば、マグネトロンスパッタリング装置内に２～５Ｐａ程度の圧力のアルゴンを導入し、電界で加速したアルゴンイオンをターゲットの二酸化珪素に照射し、二酸化珪素膜を形成する。また、マグネトロンスパッタリング装置内に２～５Ｐａ程度の圧力のアルゴンを導入し、電界で加速したアルゴンイオンをターゲットの四窒化三珪素に照射し、四窒化三珪素膜を形成する。 Therefore, in this embodiment, the antireflection layer P3 is formed by sputtering. More specifically, for example, argon at a pressure of about 2 to 5 Pa is introduced into a magnetron sputtering apparatus, and argon ions accelerated by an electric field are irradiated onto silicon dioxide as a target to form a silicon dioxide film. Argon is introduced into the magnetron sputtering apparatus at a pressure of about 2 to 5 Pa, and the trisilicon tetranitride target is irradiated with argon ions accelerated by an electric field to form a trisilicon tetranitride film.

　スパッタ工程において、反射防止層Ｐ３を成膜する際、温度が上昇する。その際の温度は、レンズ本体Ｐ１を構成する樹脂のガラス転移温度Ｔｇより低く、かつガラス転移温度Ｔｇと成膜温度との差が５０℃以上であることが好ましい。より具体的には、図１２に示すように、レンズ本体Ｐ１を構成する樹脂は、温度が上昇するに伴い、線膨張係数が増大する。 In the sputtering process, the temperature rises when forming the antireflection layer P3. The temperature at that time is preferably lower than the glass transition temperature Tg of the resin forming the lens body P1, and the difference between the glass transition temperature Tg and the film formation temperature is preferably 50° C. or more. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, the linear expansion coefficient of the resin forming the lens body P1 increases as the temperature rises.

　　　９０℃（Ｔｇとの差＝４０℃）　　１０７（２５℃の１．６５倍） For example, when the glass transition temperature Tg of the resin forming the lens body P1 is 130° C., the relationship between the temperature during film formation and the coefficient of linear expansion is as follows.
Temperature during film formation Coefficient of thermal expansion (65 ppm/°C)
25°C (difference from Tg = 105°C) 65
50°C (difference from Tg = 80°C) 65
70°C (difference from Tg = 60°C) 82 (1.26 times 25°C)
90°C (difference from Tg = 40°C) 107 (1.65 times 25°C)
　上記の結果から分かるように、成膜時の温度がレンズ本体Ｐ１を構成する樹脂のガラス転移温度Ｔｇより低いが、成膜時の温度とガラス転移温度Ｔｇとの温度差が５０℃未満のときのレンズ本体Ｐ１の線膨張係数は、２５℃を基準としたときの１．３倍以上である。 As can be seen from the above results, when the temperature during film formation is lower than the glass transition temperature Tg of the resin forming the lens body P1, but the temperature difference between the temperature during film formation and the glass transition temperature Tg is less than 50°C. The coefficient of linear expansion of the lens body P1 is 1.3 times or more when 25° C. is used as a reference.
　これに対して、成膜時の温度がレンズ本体Ｐ１を構成する樹脂のガラス転移温度Ｔｇより低く、かつ、成膜時の温度とガラス転移温度Ｔｇとの温度差が５０℃以上である場合、レンズ本体Ｐ１の線膨張係数は、２５℃を基準としたときの１．３倍未満である。従って、本形態では、成膜時の温度についてはレンズ本体Ｐ１を構成する樹脂のガラス転移温度Ｔｇより低く、かつ、成膜時の温度とガラス転移温度Ｔｇとの差が３０℃以上であることが好ましい。かかる条件範囲によれば、反射防止層Ｐ３を形成する際のレンズ本体Ｐ１に加わる熱応力が小さいので、反射防止層Ｐ３に発生する圧縮応力を小さくすることができる。また、本形態では、レンズ本体Ｐ１を構成する樹脂がイミド構造を有するため、ガラス転移温度Ｔｇが高く、８０℃から１００℃の温度での線膨張係数が小さい。従って、反射防止層Ｐ３とレンズ本体Ｐ１との線膨張係数の差が小さい。 On the other hand, when the temperature during film formation is lower than the glass transition temperature Tg of the resin forming the lens body P1 and the temperature difference between the temperature during film formation and the glass transition temperature Tg is 50° C. or more, The coefficient of linear expansion of the lens body P1 is less than 1.3 times that at 25°C. Therefore, in this embodiment, the temperature during film formation should be lower than the glass transition temperature Tg of the resin forming the lens body P1, and the difference between the temperature during film formation and the glass transition temperature Tg should be 30° C. or more. is preferred. According to this conditional range, since the thermal stress applied to the lens body P1 when forming the antireflection layer P3 is small, the compressive stress generated in the antireflection layer P3 can be reduced. In addition, in the present embodiment, since the resin forming the lens body P1 has an imide structure, the glass transition temperature Tg is high and the coefficient of linear expansion at temperatures from 80°C to 100°C is small. Therefore, the difference in coefficient of linear expansion between the antireflection layer P3 and the lens body P1 is small.
　また、反射防止層Ｐ３の総膜厚が厚いので、膨張もしくは収縮によって反射防止層Ｐ３に加わる応力が小さい。この場合でも、反射防止層Ｐ３の総膜厚を５００ｎｍ以下に限定したため、成膜時間が短く済む。このため、成膜時におけるプラスチックレンズＰの温度上昇を抑制することができる。 Also, since the total film thickness of the antireflection layer P3 is large, the stress applied to the antireflection layer P3 due to expansion or contraction is small. Even in this case, since the total film thickness of the antireflection layer P3 is limited to 500 nm or less, the film formation time can be shortened. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the temperature rise of the plastic lens P during film formation.
　従って、反射防止層Ｐ３で発生する圧縮応力が小さい。それ故、８５℃で３０ｍｉｎと－４０℃で３０ｍｉｎの温度サイクルを１０００サイクル行う信頼性試験に耐えることができる。それ故、実使用環境においてキズがつきにくく、レンズユニットとしての画像のボケや乱れが起きにくいので、耐久性の高いレンズユニットを構成することができる。 Therefore, the compressive stress generated in the antireflection layer P3 is small. Therefore, it can withstand a reliability test in which temperature cycles of 85° C. for 30 minutes and −40° C. for 30 minutes are performed for 1000 cycles. Therefore, the lens unit is less likely to be scratched in an actual use environment, and less likely to cause blurring or disturbance of an image as a lens unit, so that a highly durable lens unit can be constructed.
　また、反射防止層Ｐ３を成膜する際の温度は、成膜時間が長い程、上昇する。従って、反射防止層Ｐ３の膜厚は、反射防止層Ｐ３を成膜する際の温度に影響を及ぼす。ここで、反射防止層Ｐ３を成膜する際の温度が高い程、熱膨張等の影響によって光学特性が変化する。例えば、図１３および図１４に示すように、図１に示す反射防止層Ｐ３を成膜する際の温度が高い程、画角の変化量およびＭＴＦの変化量が大きい。それ故、反射防止層Ｐ３を成膜する際、温度の影響を受けにくくなるように、反射防止層Ｐ３の膜厚を薄くし、レンズ本体Ｐ１を構成する樹脂のガラス転移温度Ｔｇを高くすることが好ましい。 Also, the temperature at which the antireflection layer P3 is deposited increases as the deposition time increases. Therefore, the film thickness of the antireflection layer P3 affects the temperature at which the antireflection layer P3 is formed. Here, the higher the temperature in forming the antireflection layer P3, the more the optical characteristics change due to the effects of thermal expansion and the like. For example, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the higher the temperature at which the antireflection layer P3 shown in FIG. 1 is formed, the larger the amount of change in the angle of view and the amount of change in the MTF. Therefore, when forming the antireflection layer P3, the film thickness of the antireflection layer P3 should be reduced and the glass transition temperature Tg of the resin forming the lens body P1 should be increased so as to be less susceptible to the effects of temperature. is preferred.

　変形例としては、プラスチックレンズＰは、光軸Ｌの延在方向の像側Ｌｂに向く一方面Ｐａと、物体側Ｌａとは反対の物体側Ｌａに向く他方面Ｐｂとを備えてもよい。すなわち、変形例のプラスチックレンズＰは、光軸Ｌの延在方向の像側Ｌｂに向く一方面Ｐａを覆うハードコート層Ｐ２と、ハードコート層Ｐ２をレンズ本体Ｐ１とは反対側から覆う反射防止層Ｐ３とを備えてもよい。 (Modified example of plastic lens P)

　図１５および図１６に示すレンズユニット１０は水平画角が１２０度以上である。レンズユニット１０では、物体側から像側に向かって第１レンズＬ１、第２レンズ１２、第３レンズ１３、絞り１７、第４レンズ１４、および第５レンズ１５が順に配置されており、第５レンズ１５に対して像側には、フィルタ１８および撮像素子１９が順に配置される。第１レンズＬ１は、物体側に凸面を向けた負メニスカスレンズである。本形態において、第１レンズＬ１の凸面からなる物体側の面（第１面１）は球面であり、凹面からなる像側の面（第２面２）は非球面である。 The horizontal angle of view of the lens unit 10 shown in FIGS. 15 and 16 is 120 degrees or more.

Distance measured along the first surface (1) from the center of the first surface (1) of the first lens L1 to the radial position corresponding to the effective radius
　図１６に示すように、レンズユニット１０は、光学系全体の焦点距離ｆ０（ＥｆｆｅｃｔｉｖｅＦｏｃａＬ Ｌｅｎｇｔｈ）が０．８２２ｍｍであり、物像間距離（ＴｏｔａＬＴＲａｃｋ／光学全長）が９．２０６ｍｍであり、レンズ系全体のＦ値（Ｉｍａｇｅ Ｓｐａｃｅ Ｆ／#）が２．４であり、最大画角（Ｍａｘ． ＦｉｅＬｄ Ａｎｇｌｅ）が１９２ｄｅｇであり、水平画角（ＨＯＩＲｉｚｏｎｔａＬ ＦｉｅｌｄＡｎｇｌｅ）が１９２ｄｅｇである。 As shown in FIG. 16, the lens unit 10 has a focal length f0 (EffectiveFocaL Length) of the entire optical system of 0.822 mm, an object-to-image distance (TotaLTRack/optical total length) of 9.206 mm, and the entire lens system has an F value (Image Space F/#) of 2.4, a maximum field angle (Max. Field Angle) of 192 degrees, and a horizontal field angle (HOIRizontaL Field Angle) of 192 degrees.
　また、図１６および図１７に示すように、レンズユニット１０は、以下の条件式を全て満たしている。 Also, as shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the lens unit 10 satisfies all of the following conditional expressions.
　プラスチックレンズＰの一方面Ｐａの曲率半径Ｒ１１とプラスチックレンズＰの焦点距離ｆ１との比Ｒ１１／ｆ１は、－３．６０１であり、以下の条件式を満たしている。
　　－５．０≦Ｒ１１／ｆ１≦－１．０ The ratio R11/f1 between the radius of curvature R11 of one surface Pa of the plastic lens P and the focal length f1 of the plastic lens P is −3.601, satisfying the following conditional expression.
-5.0≤R11/f1≤-1.0
　プラスチックレンズＰの一方面Ｐａの有効半径ｓｄ１１と、一方面Ｐａの中心から有効半径に対応する半径位置まで一方面Ｐａに沿って測定したときの距離ＡＲＳ１１との比ｓｄ１１／Ｒ１１は、１．０３０であり、以下の条件式を満たしている。
　　１．０００＜ＡＲＳ１１／ｓｄ１１＜１．０１３ The ratio sd11/R11 between the effective radius sd11 of the one surface Pa of the plastic lens P and the distance ARS11 measured along the one surface Pa from the center of the one surface Pa to the radial position corresponding to the effective radius is 1.030. and satisfies the following conditional expression.
1.000<ARS11/sd11<1.013
　一方面Ｐａの曲率半径Ｒ１１とレンズ系全体の焦点距離ｆ０との比Ｒ１１／ｆ０は、１３．５０９であり、以下の条件式を満たしている。
　　８．０００≦Ｒ１１／ｆ０≦１４．０００ The ratio R11/f0 between the radius of curvature R11 of one surface Pa and the focal length f0 of the entire lens system is 13.509, satisfying the following conditional expression.
8.000≤R11/f0≤14.000
　Ｒ１１／ｆ０が下限（８．００）以上であるため、レンズパワーが強くなりすぎることを回避することができる。従って、各種収差の補正を適正に行うことができ、高い光学特性を実現することができる。また、Ｒ１１／ｆ０が上限（１４．００）以下であるため、プラスチックレンズＰからなる第１レンズＬ１のパワーが弱くなりすぎることを回避することができる。それ故、レンズユニットの小型化を図ることができる。
　半画角ωは、９５．９０１ｄｅｇであり、以下の条件式を満たしている。
　　７５ｄｅｇ≦ω≦１２０ｄｅｇ Since R11/f0 is equal to or greater than the lower limit (8.00), it is possible to avoid excessive lens power. Therefore, various aberrations can be properly corrected, and high optical characteristics can be realized. Also, since R11/f0 is equal to or less than the upper limit (14.00), it is possible to avoid the power of the first lens L1 made of the plastic lens P from becoming too weak. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the size of the lens unit.
The half angle of view ω is 95.901 deg and satisfies the following conditional expression.
75deg≦ω≦120deg
　一方面Ｐａの曲率半径Ｒ１１と一方面Ｐａの有効半径ｓｄ１１との比ｓｄ１１／Ｒ１１は、０．４１０であり、以下の条件式を満たしている。
　０．３００≦ｓｄ１１／Ｒ１１≦０．６００ A ratio sd11/R11 between the radius of curvature R11 of one side Pa and the effective radius sd11 of one side Pa is 0.410, satisfying the following conditional expression.
0.300≤sd11/R11≤0.600
　半画角ωが下限以上であるため、広画角化を図ることができる。また、半画角ωが上限以下であるため、周辺光量比が中心部分と比較して小さくなって画像の周辺部分が暗くなることを防ぐことができる。また、ｓｄ１１／Ｒ１１が上限以下であるため、プラスチックレンズからなる第１レンズＬ１の他方面の周辺部が接線となす角度が過度に小さくなることを抑制できる。したがって、プラスチックレンズＰからなる第１レンズＬ１の他方面の成形が容易になる。 Since the half angle of view ω is equal to or higher than the lower limit, it is possible to widen the angle of view. Also, since the half angle of view ω is equal to or less than the upper limit, it is possible to prevent the peripheral portion of the image from becoming dark due to the peripheral light amount ratio becoming smaller than that of the central portion. In addition, since sd11/R11 is equal to or less than the upper limit, it is possible to prevent the angle formed by the tangential line and the peripheral portion of the other surface of the first lens L1 made of a plastic lens from becoming excessively small. Therefore, molding of the other surface of the first lens L1 made of the plastic lens P is facilitated.
　このように構成したレンズユニット１０の非点収差／ディストーション（歪曲収差）、球面収差、および倍率色収差は、図１８に示す通りであり、横収差は図１９に示す通りであり、いずれも収差も小さい。 The astigmatism/distortion (distortion aberration), spherical aberration, and lateral chromatic aberration of the lens unit 10 constructed in this way are as shown in FIG. 18, and the lateral aberration is as shown in FIG. small.

（ハードコート層Ｐ２の他の実施例）
　図２４は、他のハードコート層Ｐ２におけるシリカ含有率と重合度との関係を示すグラフである。図２５は、他のハードコート層Ｐ２におけるシリカ含有率と膜厚との関係を示すグラフである。 (Other Examples of Hard Coat Layer P2)
FIG. 24 is a graph showing the relationship between the silica content and the degree of polymerization in another hard coat layer P2. FIG. 25 is a graph showing the relationship between the silica content and film thickness in another hard coat layer P2.
　ここで、上記で説明したように、ハードコート層Ｐ２のシリカ含有率が高くなれば、ハードコート層Ｐ２の表面に設けた反射防止層Ｐ３の硬度を高くすることができる。しかしながら、上記のプラスチックレンズＰを耐候性試験した結果、シリカ含有率が高くなると、プラスチックレンズＰの耐候性が低下した。すなわち、上記のプラスチックレンズＰを屋外で使用する場合には、温湿度変化や紫外線などによって、ハードコート層Ｐ２に亀裂が発生しやすい。そこで、本例のハードコート層Ｐ２は、ハードコート層Ｐ２の重合度を高くすることによって、上記のシリカ含有率より下回る範囲であっても、反射防止層Ｐ３の硬度を高くすることができるとともに、ハードコート層Ｐ２に亀裂が発生することを抑制することができる。よって、プラスチックレンズＰの耐久品質をより向上させることができる。なお、プラスチックレンズＰの耐候性については、ＪＩＳ　Ｂ７７５４－１９９１に基づいたキセノンアークランプ式耐候性試験機（キセノンアークランプ１８０Ｗ／ｍ２、ブラックパネル温度６３℃、１２０分サイクル：１０２分間の照射→１８分間の照射及び噴霧、試験時間１０００時間）を用いてプラスチックレンズＰの耐候性試験を行い、試験時間１０００時間後のプラスチックレンズＰに基づいて、プラスチックレンズＰの耐候性を評価した。 Here, as explained above, if the silica content of the hard coat layer P2 is increased, the hardness of the antireflection layer P3 provided on the surface of the hard coat layer P2 can be increased. However, as a result of a weather resistance test of the plastic lens P, the weather resistance of the plastic lens P deteriorated as the silica content increased. That is, when the plastic lens P is used outdoors, cracks are likely to occur in the hard coat layer P2 due to changes in temperature and humidity, ultraviolet rays, and the like. Therefore, by increasing the degree of polymerization of the hard coat layer P2 of the present example, the hardness of the antireflection layer P3 can be increased even if the silica content is lower than the above silica content. , the occurrence of cracks in the hard coat layer P2 can be suppressed. Therefore, the durability quality of the plastic lens P can be further improved. For the weather resistance of the plastic lens P, a xenon arc lamp type weather resistance tester based on JIS B7754-1991 (xenon arc lamp 180 W/m 2 , black panel temperature 63 ° C., 120 minute cycle: irradiation for 102 minutes → A weather resistance test of the plastic lens P was performed using irradiation and spraying for 18 minutes and a test time of 1000 hours, and the weather resistance of the plastic lens P was evaluated based on the plastic lens P after the test time of 1000 hours.
　図２４から分かるように、シリカ含有率が同じであっても、ハードコート層Ｐ２の重合度が高くなる程、反射防止層Ｐ３の表面の硬度が高くなる。従って、ハードコート層Ｐ２におけるシリカ粒子の含有率をＳとしたとき、含有率Ｓは以下の条件式
　　　２０％≦Ｓ≦４０％
　を満たし、
　ハードコート層Ｐ２の重合度をＤＰとしたとき、重合度ＤＰは以下の条件式
　　　７０％≦ＤＰ≦１００％
　を満たすことが好ましい。なお、ハードコート層Ｐ２の重合度は、重合度を求める一般的な数式により求められる。 As can be seen from FIG. 24, even if the silica content is the same, the higher the degree of polymerization of the hard coat layer P2, the higher the hardness of the surface of the antireflection layer P3. Therefore, when the content of silica particles in the hard coat layer P2 is S, the content S is the following conditional expression: 20% ≤ S ≤ 40%
The filling,
When the degree of polymerization of the hard coat layer P2 is DP, the degree of polymerization DP is the following conditional expression: 70% ≤ DP ≤ 100%
is preferably satisfied. In addition, the degree of polymerization of the hard coat layer P2 is determined by a general formula for determining the degree of polymerization.
　より具体的には、例えば、ハードコート層Ｐ２が６μｍの場合において検証したところ、重合度を７０％以上、かつ１００％以下とすれば、シリカ含有率を２０％以上、かつ４０％以下としても、反射防止層Ｐ３の表面の硬度を鉛筆硬度で６Ｈ以上とすることができる。また、シリカ含有率を低くすることができるので、プラスチックレンズの耐候性を向上させることができる。ここで、ハードコート層Ｐ２の重合度を７０％以上１００％以下とした場合に、ハードコート層Ｐ２のシリカ含有率が２０％を下回ると、反射防止層Ｐ３の表面の硬度を鉛筆硬度で６Ｈ以上とすることが困難である。また、ハードコート層Ｐ２の重合度を７０％以上１００％以下とした場合に、ハードコート層Ｐ２のシリカ含有率が４０％を超えると、１０００サイクルの熱衝撃試験（－４０℃～８５℃、３０分）によってハードコート層Ｐ２に欠陥が発生しやすくなる。さらに、ハードコート層Ｐ２の重合度が７０％を下回る場合には、シリカ含有率が４０％以下では、反射防止層Ｐ３の表面の硬度を鉛筆硬度で６Ｈ以上とすることが困難である。従って、ハードコート層Ｐ２は、シリカ含有率を２０％以上、かつ４０％以下であって、重合度を７０％以上、かつ１００％以下とすることが好ましい。 More specifically, for example, when the hard coat layer P2 has a thickness of 6 μm, when the polymerization degree is 70% or more and 100% or less, the silica content can be 20% or more and 40% or less. , the hardness of the surface of the antireflection layer P3 can be 6H or more in terms of pencil hardness. Moreover, since the silica content can be lowered, the weather resistance of the plastic lens can be improved. Here, when the degree of polymerization of the hard coat layer P2 is 70% or more and 100% or less, if the silica content of the hard coat layer P2 is less than 20%, the hardness of the surface of the antireflection layer P3 is 6H in pencil hardness. It is difficult to do the above. Further, when the degree of polymerization of the hard coat layer P2 is 70% or more and 100% or less, if the silica content of the hard coat layer P2 exceeds 40%, the thermal shock test of 1000 cycles (-40°C to 85°C, 30 minutes), defects tend to occur in the hard coat layer P2. Furthermore, when the degree of polymerization of the hard coat layer P2 is less than 70%, it is difficult to achieve a pencil hardness of 6H or more on the surface of the antireflection layer P3 when the silica content is 40% or less. Therefore, the hard coat layer P2 preferably has a silica content of 20% or more and 40% or less and a degree of polymerization of 70% or more and 100% or less.
　また、図２５から分かるように、シリカ含有率が同じであっても、ハードコート層Ｐ２の膜厚が高くなる程、反射防止層Ｐ３の表面の硬度が高くなる。従って、ハードコート層Ｐ２の膜厚ＨＣは、以下の条件式
　　　６μｍ≦ＨＣ≦１５μｍ
　を満たすことが好ましい。 Further, as can be seen from FIG. 25, even if the silica content is the same, the surface hardness of the antireflection layer P3 increases as the thickness of the hard coat layer P2 increases. Therefore, the film thickness HC of the hard coat layer P2 is determined by the following conditional expression: 6 μm≦HC≦15 μm
is preferably satisfied.
　より具体的には、例えば、ハードコート層Ｐ２の重合度が７７％の場合において検証したところ、膜厚を６μｍ以上、かつ１５μｍ以下とすれば、６Ｈ以上の鉛筆硬度を実現することができる。ここで、ハードコート層Ｐ２のシリカ含有率を２０％以上、かつ４０％以下とした場合に、ハードコート層Ｐ２の膜厚が６μｍを下回ると、反射防止層Ｐ３の表面の硬度を鉛筆硬度で６Ｈ以上とすることが困難である。従って、ハードコート層Ｐ２は、膜厚を６μｍ以上、かつ１５μｍ以下とすることが好ましい。 More specifically, for example, when the degree of polymerization of the hard coat layer P2 is 77%, a pencil hardness of 6H or more can be achieved if the film thickness is 6 μm or more and 15 μm or less. Here, when the silica content of the hard coat layer P2 is 20% or more and 40% or less, and the thickness of the hard coat layer P2 is less than 6 μm, the hardness of the surface of the antireflection layer P3 is measured in terms of pencil hardness. It is difficult to make it 6H or more. Therefore, the hard coat layer P2 preferably has a film thickness of 6 μm or more and 15 μm or less.
　なお、本例のハードコート層Ｐ２としても、上記で説明した反射防止層Ｐ３を設けることができる。また、反射防止層Ｐ３を形成した後、プラスチックレンズ表面の撥水撥油性能を向上させる目的で、含フッ素シラン化合物からなる防汚層を形成してもよい。プラスチックレンズＰの表面に防汚層を設ければ、プラスチックレンズＰを屋外で使用する場合に、プラスチックレンズＰの表面が汚れにくい。これにより、プラスチックレンズＰのレンズ性能が低下することを抑制することができる。 The antireflection layer P3 described above can also be provided as the hard coat layer P2 of this example. After forming the antireflection layer P3, an antifouling layer made of a fluorine-containing silane compound may be formed for the purpose of improving the water and oil repellency of the plastic lens surface. By providing an antifouling layer on the surface of the plastic lens P, the surface of the plastic lens P is less likely to become dirty when the plastic lens P is used outdoors. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the lens performance of the plastic lens P.

Therefore, a highly durable lens unit can be configured. Furthermore, in the present invention, since the film thickness ts of the outermost layer is 60 nm or more and 150 nm or less, the antireflection layer P3 is excellent in chemical resistance and the antireflection properties of the optical thin film are obtained.
