Abstract
This invention provides a plastic optical lens having a sprue gate plane. An average height of the portion defined by the width of the sprue gate plane is larger than at least one portion outside of a width of the sprue gate plane of any annular cross-section centering an optical axis between an optical effective diameter region and the sprue gate plane. The plastic optical lens is formed by an injection-molding method that employs a mold comprising an inlet channel arranged between the optical effective diameter region and the sprue gate plane. The inlet channel provides a shortcut that facilitates the molten plastics to flow to the optical effective diameter region as early as possible during the lens molding process, thereby avoiding the formation of a void or a welding line in the optical effective diameter region. Consequently, the production yield for the optical lens can be improved.
