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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240210596 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH LENS ASSEMBLY AND LENS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a lens with an anti-reflective coating layer that includes multiple stacked layers with different refractive indices, and an intermediate layer made of the same material as the coating layers.

  • The lens has an anti-reflective coating layer with alternating first and second coating layers.
  • The refractive index of the first coating layer is different from the refractive index of the second coating layer.
  • An intermediate layer, made of the same material as the coating layers, is placed between the lens unit and the anti-reflective coating layer.
  • The intermediate layer is applied using chemical vapor deposition (CVD).

Key Features and Innovation

  • Anti-reflective coating with multiple stacked layers.
  • Different refractive indices for each coating layer.
  • Intermediate layer made of the same material as the coating layers.
  • Application of the intermediate layer using chemical vapor deposition (CVD).

Potential Applications

This technology can be used in various optical devices such as cameras, microscopes, telescopes, and eyeglasses to reduce glare and improve image quality.

Problems Solved

The technology addresses the issue of reflections and glare on lens surfaces, which can distort images and reduce visibility.

Benefits

  • Improved image quality.
  • Reduced glare and reflections.
  • Enhanced visibility in optical devices.

Commercial Applications

  • Camera lenses.
  • Microscopes.
  • Telescopes.
  • Eyeglasses.

Questions about the Technology

How does the different refractive indices of the coating layers contribute to reducing reflections?

The varying refractive indices help to minimize the reflection of light off the lens surface, improving image clarity and reducing glare.

What is the significance of using an intermediate layer made of the same material as the coating layers?

The intermediate layer ensures a smooth transition between the lens unit and the anti-reflective coating layer, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the anti-reflective properties.


Original Abstract Submitted

a lens includes a lens unit; an anti-reflective (ar) coating layer, disposed on one surface of the lens unit, including a first coating layer and a second coating layer alternately stacked one or more times, wherein a refractive index of the first coating layer is different from a refractive index of the second coating layer; and an intermediate layer, disposed between the lens unit and the ar coating layer, is formed of a same material as the first coating layer or the second coating layer. the intermediate layer is disposed on the lens unit by chemical vapor deposition (cvd).
