Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Since the lens ( 10 ) includes the alignment portions ( 14 ), the lens ( 10 ) is positioned with high precision with respect to the second mold ( 61 ) during molding of the holder member ( 40 ), and the holder member ( 40 ) and the lens ( 10 ) are positioned with each other with high precision. Further, since the positioning of the lens ( 10 ) with respect to the second mold ( 61 ) may be performed using the alignment portions ( 14 ) provided outside the second optical surface ( 13 e ), influence of the heat and pressure produced by the second mold ( 61 ) and the resin during molding of the holder member ( 40 ) on the second optical surface ( 13 e ) of the lens ( 10 ) may be reduced. Therefore, occurrence of degradation, such as distortion, in the second optical surface ( 13 e ) of the lens ( 10 ) during molding of the holder member ( 40 ) may be prevented.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An image pickup lens unit, comprising: a lens which includes a first optical surface and a second optical surface formed on the opposite side of the first optical surface; and a holder member integrally molded to hold the lens therein with the first and second optical surfaces being exposed, wherein the lens includes an alignment portion for positioning the lens with respect to a mold when the lens is placed in the mold which has a molding space for m…
