and efficient structure.
NTKJ Co., Ltd. creates high-quality,
high-precision lightweight plastic lenses
featuring a thin and efficient structure.
We produce plastic optical products of
practically any size, including Fresnel lens, lenticular lens, sheet prism, linear Fresnel lens, fly’s-eye lens (Micro Lens Array – MLA)and aspheric lenses. We also
produce diffraction grating, optical roll molds, free-form surface lenses and elliptical lenses, spheric
and aspheric lenses, UV and IR lenses, and light-guide plates.
NTKJ has the manufacturing expertise
and equipment to accommodate a broad range of customer needs, from prototype development to mass
production.
We pride ourselves on our high accuracy
production line, beginning from optical design and mold creation, to finished products and coating. NTKJ’s
engineers are ready and able to help you find or create the ideal product.
Our facilities can
accommodate a variety of materials and thicknesses. For prototype production or mass production of sheet
molding, do not hesitate to consult with our team.
We are ready and eager to manufacture lenses of
any type to conform to your individual specifications.
Ultra-Precision Mold Manufacturing for lenses
NTKJ boasts world-class level ultra-precise mold
manufacturing. Using our nano order single point diamond turning (SPDT) and machining, we are capable of
creating products with a resolution as low as 0.01 nanometer.
This extremely precise mold
manufacturing enables our lenses to be used for a variety of applications and in a variety of fields,
including:
Optics
Lighting
Medical applications
Sensing and
imaging, including remote sensing
Defense
Aerospace and Astronomy
Automotive (headlights,
LiDAR)
Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), HMD and HUD
μTAS (Micro-total analysis
systems)
Optical communication
Infra-red (IR) lenses made of HDPE (high density polyethylene),
near-IR transmitting PMMA
Ultra-violet (UV), including UVB and UVC, made of fluoropolymer or UV
transmitting PMMA
Large aperture Germanium lenses to reduce thickness and weight
Diffractive optic
elements (DOE) and diffraction grating
Multispectral and hyperspectral imaging
We welcome requests
for custom molds.

Precise Heat Compression Molding

NTKJ's mold pattern transfer rate
NTKJ’s high precision molding technology is used to
transfer fine optical patterns to various plastic materials, such as PMMA or PC.
Compared with
conventional injection molding, our precise heat compression molding can create lenses that are larger,
thinner, and have more precise detail. Specifically, the radius of our lens peaks can be configured to
be as low as 1 micron in size.
We are able to obtain a mold-to-lens pattern transfer rate nearing
100%. As the sketch on the left describes, we are able to nearly precisely replicate the designed height
(Hd) of the lens peaks through heat-compression (Hp), standing in contrast to the rounded lens peaks
created by injection molding (Hi).
Our precise heat-compression minimizes the amount of light
lost as it passes through the lens. For the best possible results, our heat compression molding is the
clear choice.
Largest-Class Lens Manufacturing
Our large size lenses retain the same level
of quality and precision that can be expected from standard-sized lenses. We produce massive lenses that
are unrivaled in quality and size.
For lenses larger than about 1600x1200mm, the direct cut method
is used to create super-large lenses. The direct cut method lens grooves being directly cut into the
lens material. The direct cut method, besides being used for super-large lenses, is also ideal for
one-off custom lenses or prototyping.
Maximum lens pattern machining size (direct cut): Φ5000
(roughly 4600x2700mm)
Maximum size for heat-compression: roughly 1600x1200mm
Maximum size for UV
molding: width of 1400mm

PRODUCTS
Recently, flat prisms with finely ruled light
guide panels are widely used in LCD backlight panels, and Fresnel lenses are increasingly employed for
magnification or collector lens applications. Customized waveguides are also used for AR/VR/MR
applications.
Large-scale transmission and reflective screens, with dimensions up to 200 inches, depend
on our sophisticated Fresnel or lenticular lenses for their superior performance.
