Abstract

The present invention relates to an optical component in which a plurality of glass optical elements are integrated thus improving the productivity and providing consistent quality. The optical component of the present invention comprises a plurality of lens parts 1 which is formed from glass material by press molding, a tubular leg part 2 which is formed during the press molding, and which bends at and extends downward from the periphery of the lens part 1, a planar part 3 which bends outwardly and extends horizontally from the tubular leg part 2 providing connection to other lens parts 1, and the cover glass 4 of the image sensor chip 5, which is fixed onto the lower surface of the planar part 3, and/or image sensor chip 5 which is disposed below the lens part 1.
