Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/098833
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is an optical element, such as a miniature lens or the like, wherein handling is easy and it is not necessary to detach a runner part or the like at the assembly work-site, with little impact on lens performance. The present invention includes: an element body 10 the outer dimensions of which are no more than 2.5mm; and a gate part 20 that extends out from a lateral surface of the element body 10, and that includes a handling part 21. The gate part 20 extends out from a lateral surface 12c of the support body 10 and includes the handling part 21 formed by being provided with a pair of lateral surfaces 21a, 21b and a different pair of lateral surfaces 21c, 21d which serve as pairs of support portions that extend in parallel. Because of this configuration, the handling part 21 can be utilized to convey an optical element 100, install the same in a target position, position the same, and the like, and handling becomes easier even with the miniature optical element 100. Further, because the handling part 21 is provided to the gate part 20 which becomes relatively small, the gate part 20 can be left as is, and the work of removing the runner part or the like at the assembly work-site becomes unnecessary.
