Abstract:
1. A method of making a lens assembly array, the method comprising: providing a cylindrical barrel and a platform linearly movable in the cylindrical barrel, the platform having a flat surface, the flat surface of the platform and an inner surface of the cylindrical barrel cooperatively forming a molding cavity; disposing first supporter array material on the flat surface under a condition that the flat surface is exposed, or disposing the first supporter array material above the flat surface under a condition that the flat surface is not exposed; providing a first mold; pressing the first supporter array material by the first mold to form a first supporter array, the first supporter array having a first supporting surface and a second supporting surface at opposite sides thereof, the first supporting surface being in contact with the flat surface under a condition that the flat surface was exposed, or being above the flat surface under a condition that the flat surface was not exposed; disposing first lens array material on the second supporting surface, a refraction index of the first lens array material being different from a refraction index of the first supporter array material; pressing the first lens array material by press molding to form a first lens array, the first lens array having a first bottom surface and a first top surface at opposite sides thereof, the first bottom surface being in contact with the second supporting surface, and the first supporter array and the first lens array cooperatively forming a lens assembly array; and separating the lens assembly array from the platform and removing the lens assembly array from the cylindrical barrel.
