しかしながら、保護膜の形成は煩雑で作業工程や製造コストが増加すると共に保護膜が非有効光束を反射して塗膜の遮光特性を低下するという問題がある。 However, the formation of the protective film has a problem that the work process and manufacturing cost are increased, and the protective film reflects the ineffective light flux to deteriorate the light shielding property of the coating film.
本発明は、熱水浸漬処理が施される光学素子において、非光学面に遮光膜を簡単に形成すると共に遮光膜の遮光特性を維持することが可能な光学素子およびそれを有する光学機器を提供することを例示的な目的とする。 The present invention provides an optical element capable of easily forming a light-shielding film on a non-optical surface and maintaining the light-shielding characteristics of the light-shielding film and an optical apparatus having the same in an optical element subjected to hot water immersion treatment This is an exemplary purpose.

本発明によれば、熱水浸漬処理が施される光学素子において、非光学面に遮光膜を簡単に形成すると共に遮光膜の遮光特性を維持することが可能な光学素子およびそれを有する光学機器を提供することができる。 According to the present invention, in an optical element subjected to hot water immersion treatment, an optical element capable of easily forming a light shielding film on a non-optical surface and maintaining the light shielding characteristics of the light shielding film, and an optical apparatus having the optical element Can be provided.
本実施形態の光学素子の断面図である。It is sectional drawing of the optical element of this embodiment. 図1に示す光学素子を有する結像光学系の断面図である。It is sectional drawing of the imaging optical system which has an optical element shown in FIG. 図2に示す結像光学系を有する光学機器の斜視図である。FIG. 3 is a perspective view of an optical apparatus having the imaging optical system shown in FIG.
図1は、本実施形態の光学素子20の断面図である。光学素子20は光学ガラスからなるレンズであり、一例として可視域で使用される。光学素子20は、図1では凸凹レンズであるが、その形状は集光レンズの単なる例示である。 FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of the optical element 20 of the present embodiment. The optical element 20 is a lens made of optical glass, and is used in the visible range as an example. The optical element 20 is a convex / concave lens in FIG. 1, but its shape is merely an example of a condensing lens.
21、22は光学素子20の屈折作用(光学作用)を有する光学面であり、ここを物体からの有効光束が通過して集光される。光学面21は凸面で、光学面22は凹面である。光学面21、22には反射防止、カラーフィルタ、偏光分離など様々な光学作用を持たせることができる。この場合、特許文献1に記載されているように、誘電体薄膜を設けたり、使用波長以下の微細凹凸構造体を設けたりする。 Reference numerals 21 and 22 denote optical surfaces having a refractive action (optical action) of the optical element 20, through which an effective light beam from an object passes and is condensed. The optical surface 21 is a convex surface, and the optical surface 22 is a concave surface. The optical surfaces 21 and 22 can have various optical functions such as antireflection, color filters, and polarization separation. In this case, as described in Patent Document 1, a dielectric thin film is provided, or a fine concavo-convex structure having a wavelength shorter than the use wavelength is provided.
光学面21、22の少なくとも一方に(図1では光学面22に)、光学薄膜(第1の膜)23が湿式法によって形成されている。光学薄膜23は単層でも多層でもよい。湿式法は溶液状の材料を基材に塗布し、焼結や乾燥させることで薄膜を形成する方法である。湿式法で作製される膜には、ゾルゲル膜、SOG膜などがあり、湿式法にはスピンコート法やディップコート法、スプレーコート法等の手法があるが、いずれの場合も60度〜90度の熱水に5分以上浸漬する熱水浸漬処理が必要となる。 An optical thin film (first film) 23 is formed on at least one of the optical surfaces 21 and 22 (on the optical surface 22 in FIG. 1) by a wet method. The optical thin film 23 may be a single layer or a multilayer. The wet method is a method in which a thin film is formed by applying a solution-like material to a substrate and sintering or drying. Films produced by a wet method include sol-gel films, SOG films, etc., and wet methods include spin coating, dip coating, spray coating, and the like. It is necessary to perform a hot water immersion treatment in which the hot water is immersed for 5 minutes or longer.
24、25は屈折作用を有しない外周部である非光学面であり、ここには有効光束は入射しない。非光学面24は光軸AXに平行なコバ面(保持面)であり、光学面21に接している。非光学面25は光軸AXに垂直な面であり、光学面22に接している。非光学面24、25は直交して接している。 Reference numerals 24 and 25 denote non-optical surfaces which are outer peripheral portions having no refracting action, and no effective light beam is incident thereon. The non-optical surface 24 is an edge surface (holding surface) parallel to the optical axis AX, and is in contact with the optical surface 21. The non-optical surface 25 is a surface perpendicular to the optical axis AX and is in contact with the optical surface 22. The non-optical surfaces 24 and 25 are in contact with each other at right angles.
非光学面24、25には可視域において不透明な遮光膜(第2の膜)26が形成されており、特許文献1のような保護膜を含まない。ここで可視域において不透明とは、波長400〜700nmの光の0度透過率が20%以下であることをいう。遮光膜26は可視光である非有効光束を吸収、遮光する黒色の塗膜であり、非有効光束が非光学面24、25を通過して迷光となって光学素子あるいはそれを有する光学系、光学機器の光学性能が低下することを防止する。非光学面24、25が数μm以上の粗さを持つ粗面だと、遮光膜26の吸収効率が向上し、余剰散乱光の抑制に効果的であるため、望ましい。 The non-optical surfaces 24 and 25 are formed with a light-shielding film (second film) 26 that is opaque in the visible range, and does not include a protective film as in Patent Document 1. Here, being opaque in the visible region means that the 0 degree transmittance of light having a wavelength of 400 to 700 nm is 20% or less. The light-shielding film 26 is a black coating film that absorbs and shields the ineffective light beam that is visible light, and the ineffective light beam passes through the non-optical surfaces 24 and 25 to become stray light, which is an optical element or an optical system having the optical element, It prevents the optical performance of the optical device from deteriorating. It is desirable that the non-optical surfaces 24 and 25 are rough surfaces having a roughness of several μm or more, since the absorption efficiency of the light shielding film 26 is improved and effective in suppressing excess scattered light.
光学薄膜23は、一般にnmオーダーの薄膜であり、非光学面24、25の表面の少なくとも一部にも形成されることが多い。非光学面24、25を粗面にして、遮光膜26を形成する前に光学薄膜23を形成すると、非光学面24、25の粗面に光学薄膜23が入り込んで除去が困難で遮光性能が劣化するおそれがある。 The optical thin film 23 is generally a thin film on the order of nm, and is often formed on at least a part of the surfaces of the non-optical surfaces 24 and 25. If the non-optical surfaces 24 and 25 are roughened and the optical thin film 23 is formed before forming the light-shielding film 26, the optical thin film 23 enters the rough surfaces of the non-optical surfaces 24 and 25 and is difficult to remove, so that the light-shielding performance is improved. May deteriorate.
一方、非光学面24、25に遮光膜26を形成してから光学面21、22に光学薄膜23を形成すると、遮光膜26の表面の一部に溶液が塗布されるが、この場合は簡単に溶液を除去することができる。 On the other hand, when the optical thin film 23 is formed on the optical surfaces 21 and 22 after the light shielding film 26 is formed on the non-optical surfaces 24 and 25, the solution is applied to a part of the surface of the light shielding film 26. The solution can be removed.
そこで、本実施形態は、非光学面24、25に遮光膜26を形成した後で、光学薄膜23を形成している。即ち、遮光膜26が形成された後で熱水浸漬処理が行われる。しかしながら、この場合、従来の遮光膜は熱水に接触すると、その塗料成分が溶け出して損傷し、遮光特性が低下してしまう。また、塗料の溶出成分は光学素子20の光学面21、22に付着して汚染してしまう。 Therefore, in this embodiment, the optical thin film 23 is formed after the light shielding film 26 is formed on the non-optical surfaces 24 and 25. That is, the hot water immersion treatment is performed after the light shielding film 26 is formed. However, in this case, when the conventional light-shielding film comes into contact with hot water, the paint component is melted and damaged, and the light-shielding characteristics are deteriorated. The elution component of the paint adheres to the optical surfaces 21 and 22 of the optical element 20 and is contaminated.
この問題を解決するために、遮光膜を特許文献1に提案されているように保護膜で覆うこともできるが、保護膜の製造は煩雑でコストアップを招くと共に保護膜によって非有効光束が反射されて遮光膜の遮光特性が低下するおそれもある。 In order to solve this problem, the light-shielding film can be covered with a protective film as proposed in Patent Document 1, but the production of the protective film is complicated and increases the cost, and the ineffective luminous flux is reflected by the protective film. As a result, the light shielding characteristics of the light shielding film may be deteriorated.
従来の溶出成分を調べると、コールタールやコールタールピッチであることが判明した。そこで、本実施形態は、遮光膜26をこれらの水溶性成分を含まない塗料から構成することによって熱水に接触してもその成分が溶出しないようにした。これにより、保護膜が不要となり、遮光膜26の黒色塗料の表面が露出するので、表面反射も抑えた光学素子20を得ることができる。 Examination of conventional elution components revealed coal tar and coal tar pitch. Therefore, in this embodiment, the light-shielding film 26 is made of a paint that does not contain these water-soluble components, so that the components are not eluted even when contacted with hot water. As a result, a protective film becomes unnecessary and the surface of the black paint of the light shielding film 26 is exposed, so that the optical element 20 with suppressed surface reflection can be obtained.
遮光膜26は、有機材料を主成分とする樹脂、着色剤として染料および添加物を有する塗料から構成され、当該塗料の各成分は熱水に不溶性である。また、遮光膜26は、保護膜に覆われておらず外部に露出して黒色であり、表面にテカリがない。 The light shielding film 26 is composed of a resin mainly composed of an organic material, and a paint having a dye and an additive as a colorant, and each component of the paint is insoluble in hot water. Further, the light shielding film 26 is not covered with the protective film, is exposed to the outside, is black, and has no shine on the surface.
樹脂としては、エポキシ系、アクリル系、イミド系、フェノール系等の樹脂を使用することができる。樹脂量は重量比15〜40wt%程度が望ましい。15wt%以下だと塗膜にした際に十分な強度が得られず、40wt%以上だと遮光性能が低下するおそれがある。 As the resin, an epoxy resin, an acrylic resin, an imide resin, a phenol resin, or the like can be used. The amount of resin is desirably about 15 to 40 wt% by weight. If it is 15 wt% or less, sufficient strength cannot be obtained when the coating film is formed, and if it is 40 wt% or more, the light shielding performance may be lowered.
染料は、不溶性のアゾ系染料、キノン系染料などを用いることができる。特許文献2はコールタールを屈折率向上材料として使用することを許容しているが、本実施形態はコールタールやコールタールピッチを含まない点で特許文献2とは異なる。可視域全域で遮光性能を実現するために複数の材料を用いることが望ましい。染料の量としては、重量比10wt%〜30wt%が望ましい。10wt%以下だと十分な遮光性能を得るのが難しく、30wt%以上だとバインダーとして用いる樹脂の硬化を阻害するおそれがある。 As the dye, insoluble azo dyes, quinone dyes, and the like can be used. Patent Document 2 allows the use of coal tar as a refractive index improving material, but this embodiment is different from Patent Document 2 in that it does not include coal tar or coal tar pitch. It is desirable to use a plurality of materials in order to achieve light shielding performance over the entire visible range. The amount of the dye is preferably 10 wt% to 30 wt% by weight. If it is 10 wt% or less, it is difficult to obtain sufficient light shielding performance, and if it is 30 wt% or more, there is a possibility that the curing of the resin used as the binder may be inhibited.
遮光膜26は、添加物の一つとして、重量比13〜40wt%の金属酸化物微粒子を含む。この場合、金属酸化物微粒子は、可視域において透明で、SiO2、Ta2O5、TiO2、Al2O3のいずれか1つ以上を含むことが好ましい。ここで可視域において透明とは、波長400〜700nmの光の0度透過率が80%以上であることをいう。遮光膜26が金属酸化物微粒子をこの範囲で含むと、膜強度や安定性の向上と屈折率の調整を両立させることができる。 The light shielding film 26 includes metal oxide fine particles having a weight ratio of 13 to 40 wt% as one of additives. In this case, it is preferable that the metal oxide fine particles are transparent in the visible region and include any one or more of SiO 2 , Ta 2 O 5 , TiO 2 , and Al 2 O 3 . Here, “transparent in the visible region” means that the 0-degree transmittance of light having a wavelength of 400 to 700 nm is 80% or more. When the light shielding film 26 contains the metal oxide fine particles in this range, it is possible to achieve both improvement in film strength and stability and adjustment of the refractive index.
金属酸化物微粒子が重量比13wt%未満の場合は金属酸化物微粒子だけでは膜強度や高性能を得ることが難しく、材料や樹脂の選択も困難になる。また、金属酸化物微粒子が重量比40wt%よりも大きいと、樹脂の硬化を阻害する可能性があるため、好ましくない。 When the metal oxide fine particles are less than 13 wt%, it is difficult to obtain film strength and high performance only with the metal oxide fine particles, and it is difficult to select materials and resins. In addition, it is not preferable that the metal oxide fine particles are larger than 40 wt% because the resin may be hardened.
金属酸化物微粒子は、遮光膜材料に使用される樹脂と混合され易く、樹脂の骨材としての機能も果たし、膜強度向上の効果がある。また、金属酸化物微粒子は、熱水に不溶性で熱水に染み出して汚染の原因にならず安定性を維持する。また、金属酸化物は耐熱水性の効果を有する。 The metal oxide fine particles are easily mixed with the resin used for the light-shielding film material, function as an aggregate of the resin, and have an effect of improving the film strength. In addition, the metal oxide fine particles are insoluble in hot water and ooze out into the hot water and maintain stability without causing contamination. Further, the metal oxide has an effect of hot water resistance.
また、金属酸化物微粒子が使用波長よりも小さければ、微粒子の混合比を調整することで遮光膜26の屈折率を調整することができ、使用波長よりも大きければ入射光を散乱させることができる。このため、材料を選択的に使用すると、遮光膜26の反射防止性能を調整することが可能となる。なお、金属酸化物微粒子は大きすぎると散乱してしまうため、大きさとしては直径5〜120nm以下が好ましく、20〜100nmがより好ましい。 Further, if the metal oxide fine particles are smaller than the working wavelength, the refractive index of the light shielding film 26 can be adjusted by adjusting the mixing ratio of the fine particles, and if larger than the working wavelength, the incident light can be scattered. . For this reason, when the material is selectively used, the antireflection performance of the light shielding film 26 can be adjusted. In addition, since it will scatter if a metal oxide microparticle is too large, as a magnitude | size, 5-120 nm or less in diameter is preferable and 20-100 nm is more preferable.
なお、添加物としては他に反応促進剤、安定化剤、防かび剤等を種々の用途に応じて適宜選択し、追加することが可能である。また、遮光膜26の樹脂、染料、添加物の上述した重量比wt%を合計すると100%(あるいはそれ以下)となることはいうまでもない。 Other additives such as reaction accelerators, stabilizers, fungicides and the like can be appropriately selected and added according to various applications. Needless to say, the above-mentioned weight ratio wt% of the resin, dye, and additive of the light shielding film 26 is 100% (or less).
本実施形態によれば、遮光膜26を光学薄膜23を形成するよりも前に形成するので非光学面24、25を粗面にした場合でも遮光膜26の遮光特性を維持することができる。また、遮光膜26はコールタールやコールタールピッチを含まず、光学薄膜23を形成する際の熱水浸漬処理において塗料は熱水に溶け出す水溶性の着色成分を含まないので遮光特性の低下と光学素子20の汚染を防止することができる。そして、金属酸化物微粒子が耐熱水性を高めている。更に、遮光膜上に保護膜を設ける必要がないので製造コストを抑え、また、保護膜表面の反射(テカリ)による遮光特性の低下を防止することができる。 According to this embodiment, since the light shielding film 26 is formed before the optical thin film 23 is formed, the light shielding characteristics of the light shielding film 26 can be maintained even when the non-optical surfaces 24 and 25 are roughened. Further, the light-shielding film 26 does not contain coal tar or coal tar pitch, and the paint does not contain water-soluble coloring components that dissolve in hot water in the hot water immersion treatment when forming the optical thin film 23. Contamination of the optical element 20 can be prevented. And metal oxide microparticles | fine-particles have improved hot water resistance. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to provide a protective film on the light shielding film, the manufacturing cost can be reduced, and the deterioration of the light shielding characteristics due to reflection (shine) on the surface of the protective film can be prevented.
図2は、物体からの光束を結像面IPに結像する、本実施形態の結像光学系10の断面図である。本実施形態の結像光学系10は、一例として可視光で使用され、複数の光学素子を有する。この結像光学系10の構成は単なる一例であり、本実施形態は、望遠タイプの光学系に限定されず、広角系、ズーム系など種々の変形及び変更が可能であり、ミラーなどの反射部材を更に有してもよい。 FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the imaging optical system 10 of the present embodiment that forms an image of a light beam from an object on the imaging plane IP. The imaging optical system 10 of this embodiment is used with visible light as an example, and has a plurality of optical elements. The configuration of the imaging optical system 10 is merely an example, and the present embodiment is not limited to a telephoto type optical system, and various modifications and changes such as a wide-angle system and a zoom system are possible, and a reflecting member such as a mirror. May further be included.
これらの光学素子は、図1に示す光学素子(第1の光学素子)20、光量を調節する光学絞り30、レンズである他の光学素子(第2の光学素子)32、34、36を含み、光学素子20は光学絞り30よりも像側に配置されている。結像光学系10は、図内左側、つまり物体側から入射した光の光束径を光学絞り30によって制限し、結像面IPへ物体像を結像する。 These optical elements include the optical element (first optical element) 20 shown in FIG. 1, an optical diaphragm 30 for adjusting the amount of light, and other optical elements (second optical elements) 32, 34, and 36 which are lenses. The optical element 20 is disposed closer to the image side than the optical aperture 30. The imaging optical system 10 limits the light beam diameter of light incident from the left side in the figure, that is, from the object side, by the optical aperture 30 and forms an object image on the imaging plane IP.
光学素子20は、非光学面の表面の反射を良好に抑えることができる。結像光学系10は各光学素子の非光学面を保持部として、黒色部材からなる鏡筒によって保護されることが一般的である。結像光学系10は、物体側からの光を効率良く集光するため、非光学面は側面もしくは像面側に設けられることが多く、物体側から結像光学系10を覗き込んだ場合、非光学面の表面が直接見えることはない。 The optical element 20 can satisfactorily suppress reflection on the surface of the non-optical surface. The imaging optical system 10 is generally protected by a lens barrel made of a black member using the non-optical surface of each optical element as a holding portion. Since the imaging optical system 10 efficiently collects light from the object side, the non-optical surface is often provided on the side surface or the image surface side, and when looking into the imaging optical system 10 from the object side, The surface of the non-optical surface is not directly visible.
一方、像面側から結像光学系10を覗き込んだ場合、非光学面の表面が確認できる場合があり、ここに表面反射が大きな光学素子を利用すると乱反射による迷光が発生する原因となる。このような問題は光学絞り30よりも像面側に配置されている光学素子に発生しやすい。一方、光学絞り30よりも物体側に配置されている光学素子は、像面側から入射する光が光学絞り30によって切られるため、このような問題は発生しにくい。 On the other hand, when the imaging optical system 10 is viewed from the image surface side, the surface of the non-optical surface may be confirmed. If an optical element having a large surface reflection is used here, stray light due to irregular reflection is generated. Such a problem is likely to occur in an optical element disposed on the image plane side with respect to the optical aperture 30. On the other hand, in the optical element arranged on the object side relative to the optical diaphragm 30, since the light incident from the image plane side is cut by the optical diaphragm 30, such a problem hardly occurs.
そのため、光学素子20を光学絞り30よりも像面側に使用することによって迷光の発生を抑制する高品位な光学特性を有する結像光学系10を得ることができる。但し、光学絞り30よりも物体側に配置されている光学素子に上記問題がまったく発生しないわけではないので、図1に示す光学素子20は、例えば、コバ面が大きい光学素子32、34、36に適用されてもよい。 Therefore, by using the optical element 20 closer to the image plane than the optical aperture 30, the imaging optical system 10 having high-quality optical characteristics that suppress the generation of stray light can be obtained. However, since the above-described problem does not occur at all in the optical element arranged on the object side of the optical diaphragm 30, the optical element 20 shown in FIG. 1 has, for example, optical elements 32, 34, and 36 having a large edge surface. May be applied.
図3は、結像光学系10を使用可能な光学機器の一例としてのデジタルカメラの斜視図である。40はカメラ本体、41は結像光学系10を有する撮像光学系(またはレンズ鏡筒)である。42はカメラ本体300に内蔵され、撮像光学系41によって形成された光学像を光電変換するCCDセンサやCMOSセンサ等の固体撮像素子(光電変換素子)である。43は固体撮像素子42によって光電変換された情報を記録するメモリ、44は液晶ディスプレイパネル等によって構成され、固体撮像素子42上に形成された被写体像を観察するための表示素子である。光学素子20は、遮光膜26が迷光を防止するのでデジタルカメラ40は高画質な画像を提供することができる。 FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a digital camera as an example of an optical apparatus that can use the imaging optical system 10. Reference numeral 40 denotes a camera body, and reference numeral 41 denotes an imaging optical system (or lens barrel) having the imaging optical system 10. Reference numeral 42 denotes a solid-state imaging device (photoelectric conversion device) such as a CCD sensor or a CMOS sensor that is built in the camera body 300 and photoelectrically converts an optical image formed by the imaging optical system 41. Reference numeral 43 denotes a memory for recording information photoelectrically converted by the solid-state image sensor 42. Reference numeral 44 denotes a display element that is constituted by a liquid crystal display panel or the like and for observing a subject image formed on the solid-state image sensor 42. In the optical element 20, since the light shielding film 26 prevents stray light, the digital camera 40 can provide a high-quality image.
