SPECTRAL IMAGE SENSORS AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUSES INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18091916 titled 'SPECTRAL IMAGE SENSORS AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUSES INCLUDING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a spectral image sensor that includes various components such as lens systems, filters, and an image sensor. The sensor is designed to detect light passing through these components.
- The first lens system helps focus the light onto the sensor.
- The infrared blocking filter blocks infrared light from reaching the sensor.
- The second lens system adjusts the chief ray angle (CRA) of oblique incident light to reduce the incident angle of the light with respect to a spectral filter.
- The spectral filter allows only specific wavelengths of light to pass through.
- The image sensor detects the light that passes through the lens systems, filters, and spectral filter.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Spectral imaging: The sensor can be used in applications that require capturing and analyzing images based on specific wavelengths of light, such as medical imaging, remote sensing, and quality control in manufacturing.
- Hyperspectral imaging: By capturing a wide range of wavelengths, the sensor can be used for applications like food inspection, environmental monitoring, and material analysis.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Improved image quality: The lens systems and filters help optimize the incident angle and block unwanted light, resulting in clearer and more accurate spectral images.
- Enhanced spectral analysis: The spectral filter allows for precise selection of wavelengths, enabling detailed analysis and identification of materials or substances.
Benefits of this technology:
- Higher sensitivity: The sensor can detect and capture a wide range of wavelengths, providing more comprehensive spectral information.
- Improved accuracy: By reducing incident angles and blocking unwanted light, the sensor ensures more accurate and reliable spectral measurements.
- Versatility: The sensor can be used in various applications that require spectral imaging or analysis, making it a versatile tool for different industries.
Original Abstract Submitted
A spectral image sensor includes: a first lens system; an infrared blocking filter; a second lens system configured to adjust a chief ray angle (CRA) of oblique incident light to reduce an incident angle of the oblique incident light with respect to a spectral filter; the spectral filter; and an image sensor. The image sensor may be configured to detect light passing through the first lens system, the infrared blocking filter, the second lens system, and the spectral filter.
