LENS ASSEMBLY AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18521098 titled 'LENS ASSEMBLY AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a lens assembly with an image sensor, four lenses, and a band pass filter with specific transmittance properties for different wavelength areas.

  • The lens assembly includes an image sensor, at least four lenses arranged along an optical axis, and a band pass filter with specific transmittance properties.
  • The band pass filter has a transmittance of 90% to 90% for light in the wavelength area of 800-1000 nm.
  • At least one lens is positioned between the band pass filter and the image sensor.
  • For light in the wavelength area of 400-700 nm, at least one lens has a transmittance of 0% to 10%, and all lenses have an average transmittance of 0% to 5%.

Potential Applications

The lens assembly could be used in various imaging devices such as cameras, medical imaging equipment, and scientific instruments.

Problems Solved

Original Abstract Submitted

A lens assembly is provided. The lens assembly includes an image sensor, at least four lenses successively arranged along an optical axis from an object side toward the image sensor side, and at least one band pass filter having a transmittance of 90% to 90% with regard to at least some of light in the wavelength area of 800˜1000 nm. At least one of the lenses is disposed between the band pass filter and the image sensor. With regard to light in the wavelength area of 400˜700 nm, at least one of the lenses has a transmittance of 0% to 10%, and all of the lenses have an average transmittance of 0% to 5%.
