Abstract

See full text

Technique to provide a molding die which can easily release a minute optical element in a state of favorable surface accuracy, while bending or rupture of a gate portion attached to the optical element is prevented. By making a first outer circumferential transfer surface 21A of a fixed die 20 and a first gate-forming surface 31A flush with each other, a notch shape is not formed on a portion M1 connecting an outer circumferential portion FL on the fixed die 20 side and a gate portion GP. Furthermore, by pushing out the runner portion RP at the same angle as a taper angle α of a side-surface transfer surface 23A on a second gate-forming surface 32A side, bending deformation or the like of the gate portion GP which can occur when being pushed out to a direction perpendicular to a mold mating surface PL1 can be prevented.
