LENS APPARATUS AND IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240248281 titled 'LENS APPARATUS AND IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS
The abstract describes a patent application for a lens apparatus that includes both movable and fixed lens units, an operation member for user control, and a driving unit to move the movable lens unit based on user input.
- The lens apparatus has at least one movable lens unit that moves along the optical axis and at least one fixed lens unit that remains stationary.
- An operation member is located outside the optical system and can be operated by a user in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis.
- A driving unit is controlled by the operation of the operation member to move the movable lens unit.
- The patent application satisfies a predetermined inequality.
Potential Applications: - Camera lenses - Microscopes - Telescopes
Problems Solved: - Providing user control over lens movement - Enhancing precision in optical systems
Benefits: - Improved user experience - Increased accuracy in focusing - Versatile applications in various optical devices
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Lens Apparatus for Precision Optics This technology can be used in high-end cameras, medical imaging equipment, and scientific instruments, enhancing their performance and user control.
Questions about Lens Apparatus: 1. How does the movable lens unit improve the functionality of the optical system? The movable lens unit allows for precise adjustments to focus and magnification, enhancing the overall performance of the optical system.
2. What advantages does the operation member provide in controlling the lens apparatus? The operation member enables users to easily manipulate the lens apparatus, leading to improved user experience and accuracy in optical adjustments.
Original Abstract Submitted
a lens apparatus includes an optical system including at least one movable lens unit that moves along an optical axis of the optical system and at least one fixed lens unit that does not move along the optical axis, an operation member disposed outside at least part of the optical system in a direction orthogonal to the optical axis and operable by a user, and a driving unit configured to be controlled according to an operation of the operation member, to drive the movable lens unit. a predetermined inequality is satisfied.
