LENS APPARATUS AND IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240248371 titled 'LENS APPARATUS AND IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS
The patent application describes a lens apparatus with an optical system that includes a first optical member in a movable first lens unit closest to an object, and a second optical member, along with separate driving units for each member.
- The optical system includes a first optical member in a movable first lens unit and a second optical member.
- A first driving unit moves the first optical member, while a second driving unit moves the second optical member.
- The driving units are positioned so as not to overlap each other along the optical axis.
- Part of the second driving unit overlaps with the first lens unit along the optical axis.
Potential Applications: - Camera lenses for image stabilization technology - Optical systems in telescopes or microscopes
Problems Solved: - Improved image stabilization - Enhanced optical performance
Benefits: - Clearer and sharper images - Reduction of motion blur in photos and videos
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Image Stabilization Lens Technology for Cameras This technology can be used in professional cameras, surveillance systems, and medical imaging devices to ensure stable and high-quality images.
Questions about Lens Apparatus: 1. How does the separate movement of the optical members contribute to image stabilization? 2. What are the potential drawbacks of this design compared to traditional lens systems?
Original Abstract Submitted
a lens apparatus includes an optical system including a first optical member included in a first lens unit disposed closest to an object and movable in a direction including a component orthogonal to an optical axis during image stabilization, and a second optical member different from the first optical member, a first driving unit configured to move the first optical member, and a second driving unit configured to move the second optical member. the first driving unit and the second driving unit are disposed so as not to overlap each other when viewed along the optical axis of the optical system. a position, of at least part of the second driving unit, in a direction along the optical axis overlaps a position of the first lens unit, in the direction along the optical axis.
