摘要:
Stress exerted on an inner or outer circumferential side of a glass tube 6 is controlled when a glass material 3 is heated and softened by a heating element 41 provided around the glass material 3 and a piercing plug 31 is relatively pressed into a softened region of the glass material 3 to thereby form the glass material 3 into the glass tube 6 gradually. For example, the control of the stress can be carried out by controlling an internal or external pressure of the glass tube 6. As a result, the deformation of the glass tube 6 just after piercing is prevented so that the glass tube 6 can be obtained with high quality. It is also possible to solve the problem that cracks may occur easily at the time of reheating because of residual stress distribution after cooling.
摘要:
Light is directed to each photosensitive section by independently adjusting the curvature or thickness of each light converging lens above the photosensitive section, irrespective of the shape of a photosensitive element (photosensitive section), i.e., irrespective of the shape having a longer side in the row direction than the side in the column direction. Specifically, a strip layer is formed above a plurality of photosensitive sections, disposed in a row direction. Light converging lenses are formed on each strip layer to obtain a desired curvature or thickness.
