Optical lens and method for manufacturing same

An optical lens formed by integrally molding a lens part that is an optically effective portion and has a light incidence/emission surface, and a lens edge part that is an optically ineffective portion and has a surface thereof except the light incidence/emission surface, wherein:

• the lens edge part includes a non-transparent region in part or all thereof;
• the lens part and the lens edge part include a thermoplastic resin;
• and
• the non-transparent region in the lens edge part comprises 0.1 to 5% by mass in total of one or more of a black dye and a black pigment wherein the thermoplastic resin included in the lens part includes at least one selected from the group consisting of:
• a structural unit represented by formula (1):
• wherein in formula (1),
• R1 and R2 each independently represent a hydrogen atom;
• a fluorine atom;
• a chlorine atom;
• a bromine atom;
• an iodine atom;
• a C1-6 alkyl group;
• a C6-20 aryl group which may contain a heterocyclic atom selected from among O, N and S;
• a C2-6 alkenyl group;
• a C1-6 alkoxy group;
• or a C7-17 aralkyl group, and
• a and b each independently represent an integer of 0 to 5;
• a structural unit represented by formula (2):
• wherein in formula (2),
• R3 to R6 each independently represent a hydrogen atom;
• a fluorine atom;
• a chlorine atom;

• a C1-6 alkoxy group;
• or a C7-17 aralkyl group,
• c and d each independently represent an integer of 0 to 6, and e and f each independently represent an integer of 0 to 4;
• a structural unit represented by formula (3):
• wherein in formula (3),
• R7 to R10 each independently represent a hydrogen atom;
• a fluorine atom;
• a chlorine atom;
• a bromine atom;
• an iodine atom;
• a C1-6 alkyl group;
• a C6-20 aryl group which may contain a heterocyclic atom selected from among O, N and S;
• a C2-6 alkenyl group;
• a C1-6 alkoxy group;
• or a C7-17 aralkyl group, and
• g to j each independently represent an integer of 0 to 4;
• a structural unit represented by formula (4):
• wherein in formula (4), R represents a hydrogen atom or a C1-5 alkyl group;
• and a structural unit represented by formula (5):
• wherein in formula (5), A represents a C1-5 alkylene group, p is 0 or 1, K1 represents a hydrogen atom or a C1-5 alkyl group, K2 represents a hydrogen atom, a C1-5 alkyl group or a C6-20 aryl group, Z represents a carboxyl group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, a cycloalkyloxycarbonyl group, an aryloxycarbonyl group, a hydroxyalkylcarbonyl group, a glycidyloxycarbonyl group, a cyano group or an amide group, and q is 0 or 1.
