Precision dispensing apparatus and method for manufacturing thin-film optical assembly

摘要

This invention discloses a machine for automatically attaching an optical filter to a lens. The machine includes lens table for supporting the lens. The machine further includes an attachment-medium dispenser system for dispensing a plurality of gapped-dots of an attachment-medium on a top surface of the lens along a peripheral line substantially according to a bottom-surface shape of the filter. The machine further includes a surface-mounting system for mounting the optical filter onto the top surface of the lens for stamping the gapped-dots into a continuous peripheral attachment-seal for attaching the filter to the lens and for sealing a peripheral interface-edge between the filter and the lens.
