OPTICAL SYSTEM AND DISPLAY APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240248300 titled 'OPTICAL SYSTEM AND DISPLAY APPARATUS
The optical system described in the patent application consists of a series of lenses with transmissive reflective surfaces that manipulate the path of light beams from the display surface to the pupil surface.
- The first lens has a transmissive reflective surface on the pupil surface side.
- The second lens is cemented with either the first or third lens.
- The third lens has a transmissive reflective surface on the display surface side.
- The light beam from the display surface passes through the second transmissive reflective surface, then through the third, second, and first lenses in sequence, is reflected by the first transmissive reflective surface, passes through the first, second, and third lenses in sequence, is reflected by the second transmissive reflective surface, passes through the third, second, and first lenses in sequence, passes through the first transmissive reflective surface, and finally enters the pupil surface.
Potential Applications: - This optical system could be used in imaging devices such as cameras or microscopes. - It could also be applied in virtual reality or augmented reality headsets for enhanced display capabilities.
Problems Solved: - The system provides a compact and efficient way to manipulate light beams within an optical device. - It allows for precise control and redirection of light paths for improved image quality.
Benefits: - Improved optical performance in devices using this system. - Compact design for space-saving applications. - Enhanced display capabilities for various imaging devices.
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Optical System for Imaging Devices This technology could be utilized in the development of high-quality cameras, microscopes, and virtual reality headsets, enhancing their performance and user experience. The compact design also makes it suitable for use in portable devices.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the transmissive reflective surface on the lenses contribute to the manipulation of light beams? 2. What are the potential limitations of this optical system in terms of scalability and mass production?
Original Abstract Submitted
an optical system includes, in order from a pupil surface side to a display surface side, a first lens having a first transmissive reflective surface on the pupil surface side, a second lens, and a third lens having a second transmissive reflective surface on the display surface side. the second lens is cemented with the first or third lens. the light beam from the display surface transmits through the second transmissive reflective surface, transmits through the third, second, and first lenses in this order, is reflected by the first transmissive reflective surface, transmits through the first, second, and third lenses in this order, is reflected by the second transmissive reflective surface, transmits through the third, second, and first lenses in this order, transmits through the first transmissive reflective surface, and enters the pupil surface.
