Abstract
Abstract A molded article having excellent optical characteristics and obtained by injection molding a resin composition of a bis(hydroxyphenyl)alkane polycarbonate resin having an average molecular weight of 12000 to 18000 and containing 0.005 to 0.5 wt %, based on the resin, of a phosphorous ester represented by the general formula, <IMAGE> wherein R1 and R2 independently represent an alkyl or aryl group, and R3 represents hydrogen, an alkyl or aryl group, at a resin temperature of 330 DEG to 400 DEG C. and at a mold temperature of 50 DEG to 110 DEG C., and a method for producing such articles.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
139 words
A method for producing a molded article having excellent optical characteristics, the quality of said optical characteristics being established by the fact that said article in molded disc form of 1.2 mm thickness and 120 mm in diameter has a retardation of not more than 60 mμ and a warpage of not more than 0.2 mm, comprising: injection molding, at a resin temperature of 330° to 400° C. and at a mold temperature of 50° to 110° C., a resin composition of bis(hydroxyphenyl)alkane polycarbonate having an average molecular weight of 12,000 to 18,000 and containing 0.005 to 0.5 wt. %, based on the polycarbonate resin, of a phosphorous ester of the formula: ##STR3## wherein each of R 1 and R 2 independently is an alkyl or aryl group, and R 3 is hydrogen, an alkyl group or aryl group.
