Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A lens molding apparatus of the present invention includes: a mold having a transfer surface for transferring a predetermined lens shape to a dielectric resin; a mold having a transfer surface for transferring a predetermined lens shape to the dielectric resin; a support device moving the mold; a heating device heating the dielectric resin so as to form a resin molded product, the dielectric resin having been supplied on the transfer surface; a DC power source forming an electric field by application of direct-current voltage between the mold and the mold; and switches switching a direction of the electric field between a direction from the mold to the mold and a direction from the mold to the mold.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A resin molding method comprising the steps of: (a) curing a dielectric resin material so as to form a resin molded product while a second transfer surface of a second mold is being pressed against the dielectric resin material, the dielectric resin material having been supplied on a first transfer surface of a first mold; and (b) separating the second transfer surface from the resin molded product, the step (a) including the sub-step of forming an electric field in a predetermined direction by application of direct-current voltage between the first mold and the second mold, the step (b) including the sub-step of forming an electric field in a direction that is opposite to the predetermined direction between the first mold and the second mold. 2. A resin molding method comprising the steps of: (a) curing a dielectric resin material so as to form a resin molded product while a transfer surface of a mold is being pressed against the dielectric resin material, the dielectric resin material having been supplied on a base plate; and (b) separating the transfer surface from the resin molded product, the step (a) including the sub-step of forming an electric field in a predetermined direction by application of direct-current voltage between the base plate and the mold, the step (b) including the sub-step of forming an electric field in a direction that is opposite to the predetermined direction between the base plate and the mold. 3. The resin molding method as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the resin molded product is one or more lenses.
