10% oppgang i dag var ikke mer en forventet, fortsatt en fantastisk inngang! 5 mill i omsetning, gleder meg til de store oppdager denne skatten. Håper egentlig at den holder seg lav til jeg jeg for solgt bonusaksjene mine i Equinor, pengene skal selvfølgelig investeres i polight! Enormt potensial og sånn passe stor risk!

Er det bekrefte at polight er i Magic Leap, AR brillene? Kan vi forvente andre nyheter under denne CES messen?

Det er jo helt vanvittig med interesse for polight for tiden! Kan produksjon bli en flaskehals, noe ny informasjon på hvor mange linser som produseres i måneden!? Hva er dagens makskapasitet?

Beklager, så ikke at du hadde skrevet før innlegget over😬, Ja no har verden begynt å få litt mer med seg at det er et lite selskap fra horten med 30+ Dyktige folk som har fått til noe helt spesielt☺️

Det er nok en plass mellom 1.5 og 2 millioner linser pr mnd i kapasitet i dag. Dette kan skaleres opp relativt raskt ved behov, typ 2 til 3 ganger ila 9 til 12 mnd osv 👍

Nytt Samsung patent som jeg mener viser til Add-in med mulighet for både Tlens og Liquid Lens🙂


LENS ASSEMBLY AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME ApplicationPublication/Patent Number: US20230019936A1
Publication Date: 2023-01-19
Application Number: US17/723,672
Filing Date: 2022-04-19
Inventor： Lee, Jeongyeol Seo, Jungpa Choi, Sungwook
Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.
IPC: G02B3/14
Abstract: According to various embodiments disclosed herein, a lens assembly and/or an electronic device including the same may include at least four lenses which are sequentially arranged along an optical axis from an object side to a sensor side, and a tunable lens disposed between two lenses selected from among the at least four lenses and configured such that power or curvature thereof can be changed, wherein the lens assembly may satisfy Conditional Expression 1 below: 1.0=<(Htun_max)/(Htot_min)=<3.0   [Conditional Expression 1] where “Htun_max” represents a maximum height of marginal ray of the tunable lens, and “Htot_min” represents a minimum height of marginal ray of the entire lens assembly



0082] According to certain embodiments, the actuator 539a may move the pressing member 539b forward and backward in the optical axis (e.g., the optical axis O in FIG. 4) direction, and may include a piezoelectric actuator or a motor. In a default state, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the polymer plate 533 may have a substantially flat plate shape, and may be disposed in parallel to the transparent plate 531. In some embodiments, in a state in which the polymer plate 533 and the transparent plate 531 are parallel to each other, the tunable lens 503 may have power of 0 (zero). When the pressing member 539b presses the polymer plate 533 by the driving of the actuator 539a, at least a portion of the polymer plate 533 may move in the optical axis O direction to be closer to the transparent plate 531 at the contact point, as illustrated in FIG. 7. For example, since at least a portion of the polymer plate 533 is deformed, the curvature of the polymer plate 533 may be changed in the pressurized state to be different from that in the default state (e.g., the state illustrated in FIG. 6). By the pressing of the pressing member 539b, the sensor-side surface of the tunable lens 503 (e.g., the surface indicated by “S6” in FIG. 4) may become convex toward the sensor side, and the tunable lens 503 may have positive power. In another embodiment, due to the pressing, the distance between the polymer plate 533 and the transparent plate 531 may be reduced at the contact point, and the medium 537 may move in the tunable lens 503 to the central portion of the polymer plate 533 (e.g., the area located on the optical axis O in FIG. 4) so that the central portion of the polymer plate 533 may be further away from the transparent plate 531 than in the default state. For example, in the pressed state, since the lens thickness T on the optical axis O becomes larger than that in the default state and the thickness at the contact point becomes smaller, the tunable lens 503 may have positive power

Ryktene og spekulasjonene står ikke i stil med børsmeldinger syns jeg, kan det være vi har fått inn en del ordrer fra kunder uten at dette blir børsmeldes? Syns jo det er litt rart men så vilt mye aktivitet uten noen ordre.

Godt poeng det! Ser for meg at det er som tidligere hvor man mottar endel småordrer mot POC-er. Alle ordrer over en viss sum skal børsmeldes så det har nok ikke kommet noe større på lang tid.

Patentene som publiseres med Tunable lens er i stigende trend og fra flere og flere OEMs og modul-levrandører, Det tolker jeg som et tegn på aksept av denne slags teknologi. Om man tør satse på ny tek i disse tider, gjenstår å se🤞

Fokuset på High end oh fokuset på AF i Selfie cam er nok med å trigge grunnlaget. Vi får bare håpe på at det kommer noe i smartphone segmentet også snart🙂

ZOOM OPTICAL SYSTEM, IMAGE CAPTURING MODULE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Abstract
A zoom optical system (100) comprises: a first lens (L1) having a positive refractive power, with an object-side surface (S1) thereof being a convex surface; a second lens (L2) having a negative refractive power, with an image-side surface (S4) thereof being a concave surface; a third lens (L3) having a positive refractive power; and at least one lens. The zoom optical system further comprises a zoom lens (L7), which is provided on an object side of the first lens (L1) or provided between any two of the first lens (L1), the second lens (L2) and the third lens (L3). The last lens has an inflection point, and meets the following relational expression: 0.7 ≤ (|SAGL 1|+|SAGL 2|)/CTL ≤ 5, wherein SAGL 1 is the sagittal height of an object-side surface of the last lens, SAGL 2 is the sagittal height of an image-side surface of the last lens, and CTL is the center thickness of the last lens.

Utdrag;

In some embodiments, the zoom optical system 100 further includes a zoom lens L7, and the zoom lens L7 is disposed on the object side of the first lens L1, or disposed adjacent to any of the first lens L1, the second lens L2, and the third lens L3 between the two lenses. For example, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 , the zoom lens L7 is disposed on the object side of the first lens L1 . Specifically, the zoom lens L7 may be a lens capable of realizing an automatic zoom function such as a Tlens or a liquid lens. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 , the zoom lens L7 is a Tlens, and the zoom lens L7 includes a glass substrate layer 10, a polymer layer 20, and a piezoelectric film layer 30 along the optical axis 110 from the object side to the image side in sequence. Changing the voltage applied to the piezoelectric film layer 30 can deform the piezoelectric film layer 30 to change the effective focal length of the zoom lens L7 to realize the automatic zoom function. In the zoom optical system 100, the zoom lens L7 is used to realize the zoom function. Compared with the traditional setting where a motor is driven by a motor to drive the lens to move to achieve zoom, the zoom lens L7 is small in size, which is conducive to the thinner and lighter design of the zoom optical system 100. ; At the same time, it also has the advantages of low power consumption, fast focusing speed, and large focusing range, and does not need to install moving mechanical parts, and has strong shock and impact resistance.

FOCUSING METHOD AND APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Abstract
Embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of image acquisition. Disclosed are a focusing method and apparatus, and a storage medium. In the embodiments of the present application, auto-focusing is performed according to image definition scores and code reading scores of a lens of a code reading camera at different locations. Because the code reading score can represent a code reading success rate of the code reading camera. Therefore, in the embodiments of the present application, a focusing effect of the lens at the different locations is actually evaluated by combining the image definition and code reading effect of the code reading camera, so as to determine an optimal location of the lens so as to complete auto-focusing, so that not only can the definition of the image collected by the code reading camera after focusing is ensured, but also the code reading success rate of the code reading camera after focusing is ensured.



It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the code reading camera 101 may start image acquisition when a trigger signal is detected. Among them, the code reading camera 101 firstly adjusts the position of the lens by moving the lens. In this application, adjusting the position of the lens refers to adjusting the overall position of the lens, or it may refer to adjusting the local position of the lens, but the focal length of the code reading camera should be adjusted accordingly. It changes with the adjustment of the position of the lens. Exemplarily, in a possible implementation manner, the centroid of the lens may be adjusted while keeping the shape of the lens unchanged, and in another possible implementation manner, the lens is a T-Lens (variable focus) lens Or liquid lens, then can be under the situation that keeps the centroid position of the lens unchanged, adjust the relative position between each point inside the lens, namely change the shape of the adjusted lens.

Da fikk jeg et svar av Øyvind, Hans tolkning av patentet er at dette var et merkelig patent som han ikke tror er relevant for de. Da får vi følge Huawei tett for å se hva de jobber med🙂👍

Kanskje konkurrenter som prøver å gjøre noe lignende.

PoLight nevnt etter å ha lansert white paper 🙏

God dag🙂

Tok en liten gjennomgang på de selskapene som hadde patentert TLens direkte siden slutten på 2019 til no. Har ikke tatt med de som var før.

Dette er selskaper som henviser direkte til TLens fra PoLight, Har også lagt til Samsung og Honor da de viser til en løsning PoLight leverer(Add-in) Dette fordi beskrivelsen matcher på en prikk men TLens ikke direkte nevnt.

Ganske så mye interesse rundt TLens tech frem til no kan man si💪!

Om noen har flere navn som peker direkte, må dere gjerne legge ved så skal jeg få oppdatert oversikten 👍

Interessant vedrørende Athermalisation 🙂

Mail korrespondanse med Øyvind.

Dette med Athermalisation, Vil dette si at dere i prinsippet kan selge Tlens uten Piezo-elementer?
Da man kan nytte fordelen uten å kjøre actuering på den for å oppnå Athermalisation?

Kan dette i seg selv bety at dere kan stå for dette uten STMsom derigjen begrenser hvor lang leadtime dere har på slike usecaser?


Svaret fra Øyvind
Ja for noen applikasjoner kan en tenke seg at det er mulig.

---

Dette er noe jeg ser på som en flott mulighet for polight å tilby linser til ganske så lav pris da man ikke tar med Wafer delen, som sansynligvis er en av de dyreste delene ved TLens.

Automotive har kanskje bare behov for fast fokus i ryggekamera og øvrige kamera men de har behov for å få ned kosten, da er det plutselig mulig å ta bort glasslinsestacken og bytte den ut med en rimeligere stack med Plastlinser og en piezo-fri "Tlens" i front for å kompansere for temp endringer.

Spennende dette syns jeg🙂

Steinar Aandal Vanger har vert på jakt og har funnet massevis av rekevante patenter🙏

Tar seg voldsomt opp med frekvensen og med nye selskaper som patenterer TLens! Godt tegn slik jeg tolker det💪

Abstract
The invention provides a camera module and a preparation method, the camera module comprises a photosensitive component, and an optical filter and a split lens component which are sequentially arranged along a photosensitive path of the photosensitive component, the photosensitive component comprises a photosensitive chip and a molding seat which is arranged around the photosensitive chip and is provided with an opening, and the opening is located on the photosensitive path; the optical filter is arranged in the opening; the split type lens assembly comprises a zoom lens assembly, and the zoom lens assembly is arranged in the middle of the split type lens assembly and comprises a zoom lens bearing part and a zoom lens arranged in the zoom lens bearing part. The zoom lens assembly is arranged in the middle of the split type lens assembly, and the optical filter is arranged in the molding seat opening of the photosensitive assembly, so that the miniaturization of the camera module structure can be realized while the automatic focusing function of the camera module is realized.


The present application relates to the technical field of optical imaging, and more specifically, to a camera module and a method for preparing the camera module.

Background technique

With the popularization and development of mobile terminals with a camera function, the requirements for camera modules applied to mobile terminals are also getting higher and higher.

Take the front camera module used in a full-screen mobile phone as an example. In order to ensure the imaging quality of the front camera module, it is necessary to set an opening on the screen (full screen) to ensure that the camera module can receive enough light. . In addition, in order to improve the imaging quality of the front camera module, it is required that the front camera module has functions such as auto focus, anti-shake and zoom.

However, with the increase of the above-mentioned camera functions, the volume of the front camera module will also increase accordingly. If it is applied to a full-screen mobile phone, the size of the opening on the screen will also increase accordingly.

However, with the increase of the above-mentioned camera functions, the volume of the front camera module will also increase accordingly. If it is applied to a full-screen mobile phone, the size of the opening on the screen will also increase accordingly.

Therefore, there is an urgent need for a camera module and a preparation method that can solve the above problems, so as to realize miniaturization of the camera module while optimizing the camera function of the camera module.

Ikke nevnt i Key events men viktig : Hikerobot er en av de tidligere ikke nevnte aktørene innen machine vision. Dette er en meget annerkjent aktør med stort marked.

100 millioner $ innen er par år i omsetning, og det stopper ikke der sier Isaksen!
Da må det produseres oppimot 100 millioner linser, i dag klarer de 1 mill i mnd, redd for dette kan bli en flasehals. Har fått med meg at dette kan rampes opp en del, burde det ikke vært klar for det nå?

Noen som har en formening om hvor stort lager polight har nå? Det er vel der pengene går nå, og derfor de trenger en ny emisjon..

Ser lyst ut !

Det er en flott utvikling i selskapets pipeline!
Liten tvil om at Produktet TLens har fått sin plass i kjeden! Da er det artig at TWedge(PoLights neste produkt) Er på full vei frem som en problemløser! Små display og projektorer er i vinden, det tvinges frem ifbm smarte briller og Bærbare kinoer, Dette er bruksområdene Twedge potensielt kan ta med storm, her er det snakk om et produkt som har de egenskapene som skal/må til for å løse dagens problematikk(Gjøre små prosjektorer høy oppløslige). Dette produktet har et enormt potensiale ifølge CEO selv! Det blir spennende å se hvordan dette utvikler seg🙂

Selskapet er no i en opprampingsfase og er bare et lite steg fra å være inne i høyvolums modeller i smartphone økosystemet, Her ble det sakt fra CEO at første smartphone ville være en "katalysator for en ketchup effekt"😅. Dersom hans optimisme blir reflektert i det som faktisk skjer, Da er selskapet igang med å bli det som han også sa et "norsk og faktisk internasjonalt IT eventyr"🙂 Det gjenstår å se men det skal også sies at Øyvind Isaksen har en nokså forsiktig forbeholden fremtoning.

I forbindelse med selskapets videre drift, har de behov for likviditet, dette er noe vi kan forvente at selskapet tar stilling til innen Q2, Hvordan dette gjøres gjenstår å se men om man ser på potensialet oppimot hva en evt utvanning vil gjøre, så kan da en utvanning på inntil 10%, vare kjipt på kort sikt men i utgangspunktet er ikke dette noe problem ettersom man kan forvente en god opptur fremmover på bakgrunn av pipeline🙂(Min mening)

Det vil være duket for mange uforutsette meldinger i form av ordrer mot smartphones fremover om disse aktørene som sitter på gjærdet skulle slå til(Ketchup/Fast followers). Vi så at ved Q3 var det 0 i design in, ved Q4 var det PO+ Design Win😬ikke forventet av meg)

Spennende å være PoLight aksjonær og en del av et utrolig fellesskap hvor informasjonsflyt er nøkkelen for felles forståelse for hva dette selskapet er i ferd med å få til😃🙏

Merkelig at det ikke står mer om selskapet som muliggjør filming av levende mus i media🤯

Beklager tregt svar🙂

Med 45 mill+ i råvarelager er det et godt lager men hvor mange enheter er ikke godt å si🙂 Ifbm siten i Philipinene har de anskaffet testkapasitet der også no, det var dette som var flaskehalsen i utgangspunktet da det er ganske standard utstyr de gjør produksjonen med🙂. Det virker som at selskapet har fortsatt opprampingen i henhold til plan for 100 mill $ innen 2025, da kan man regne(grovt) på hva kapasitet de har i 2025 ca. Myragubben hadde en fin forklaring på dette som også ble bekreftet av CEO i Podd episoden🙏 man kan skalere opp ganske raskt fremover slik jeg forstod det👍

camera module and electronic equipment Abstract The application provides a camera module and electronic equipment. The camera module includes: an upper group lens assembly; a lower group lens assembly; a liquid lens assembly. The liquid lens assembly can move along a direction perpendicular to the optical axis and is located on the upper Between the group lens assembly and the lower group lens assembly. The technical solution of this application can accurately realize liquid lens auto-focus and optical anti-shake


For traditional lenses, different motors are usually used to drive the lens to move or rotate to achieve AF and OIS respectively. In order to meet people's needs for micro-zoom anti-shake lenses, some manufacturers have also proposed a new type of optical element that can dynamically adjust the refractive index of the lens or change the focal length and achieve optical anti-shake by changing its surface shape, that is, the liquid lens. For the liquid lens, the zoom can be achieved by changing the surface shape of the liquid lens through a driver or an electrode device. There are also some technical solutions that change the surface shape of the liquid lens by squeezing the outside of the lens surface of the liquid/polymer to achieve zooming. What’s more, different pressures applied by different drivers on the periphery can make the liquid lens The periphery of the surface of the liquid is squeezed unevenly, the curvature of the lens surface is inconsistent, and the refraction angle of the light symmetrical to the optical axis is different after passing through the liquid lens, which makes the focal point deviate from the center of the optical axis, that is, it can cause the optical axis to tilt. But in fact, due to the pressure of the driver, the pressure caused by the existing piezoelectric elements and electromagnetic elements is always limited. In addition, the tilt of the image plane caused by the offset of the optical axis may always cause inconsistent light paths falling on the photosensitive chip, resulting in There is a problem of vignetting in the photosensitive chip, which affects the clarity of the image.

To achieve different pressures, the driver needs to be equipped with different drivers for separate control, and a single driver needs a separate driver chip for control, which undoubtedly increases the cost a lot. In addition, due to the deformation of the deformed film on the surface of the extruded polymer, the surface shape changes On the one hand, the deformable film needs to ensure a certain rigidity to ensure the strength of the surface shape change. On the other hand, the shape of the deformable film should not be too complicated. The deformable film of the existing liquid lens is spherical, while the surface shape of the conventional lens can be very complicated. Aspheric surface, free-form surface, etc. can be achieved. This complex surface shape can guarantee a certain function of compensating optical aberration in design, so as to ensure the imaging quality of the lens. Obviously, liquid lenses cannot or cannot do it. OK

Therefore, the current driving device of the liquid lens cannot accurately control the displacement and deformation of the liquid lens when performing optical image stabilization, so that good auto-focus and optical image stabilization effects cannot be achieved. Now there is a need for an OIS anti-shake design with a liquid lens module, so as to meet the current needs for AF and OIS of the camera module.

The content in the background section only discloses the technology known to the inventors, and does not necessarily represent the prior art in this field.


Utdrag:

Based on the aforementioned camera module and electronic equipment, the camera module of the present application has functions of auto focus (AF) and optical image stabilization (OIS), wherein the AF function is realized by a liquid lens.

When the lens of the present application focuses automatically, the height (TTL) of the lens does not change, so the lens can be miniaturized. The liquid lens (T-lens) of the camera module is integrated inside the motor, which has a higher integration level, so that the camera module can be miniaturized.

The camera module of the present application performs anti-shake by driving a liquid lens (T-lens), which can ensure a larger anti-shake angle and improve imaging vignetting and image quality.

The camera module of this application does not need to be provided with additional conductive surface lines of the liquid lens (T-lens), so there will be no external static electricity that is transmitted to the circuit board through the external lines due to the external lines being exposed on the lens surface. The electronic components on the board break down and conduct electricity through the first elastic piece and/or the second elastic piece. In addition, the first elastic piece and/or the second elastic piece will guide some plastic parts for insulation treatment, so as to prevent the electronic components on the circuit board from being broken down, thereby ensuring the reliability of the liquid lens (T-lens) conducting electricity.

Spennende Seanse med Xenocor🙂

https://youtu.be/r0T_R3oWs3U

Medical er et område hvor TLens har gjort et betydelig inngrep når det kommer til teknologisk fremskritt, Her er Mini2p beviset. En annen ting er Xenocor sitt saberscope!

Dette er noe som blir lagt merke til av flere selskaper, Blandt dem er Sunny optical🙂

Sunny optical har X antall Patenter med TLens i alt fra Selfiecamera,Zoom camera,Vidvinkel til droner.

Helt nylig fikk jeg tilsendt dette patentet av AandalVanger🙏 Dette viser at Sunny virkelig har sett TLens som en nøkkel-komponent i flere settinger🙂

Det fine med Sunny er at de er modul-levrandør som kan selge bredt(Kan velge å selge til mange forskjellige OEMs) Dette gjør at et sammarbeid med Sunny kan aleine ha et meget godt potensiale.

Det kan tenkes at Sunny har planer for TLens i Automotive også🙂

Compact Robotic Endoscope
Abstract
A medical endoscope that has a reusable portion to which either of two different single-use portions can be snapped in by hand to thereby form two different assembled endoscopes. When one of the single-use portions is assembled with the reusable portion, a motor in the reusable portion robotically rotates a cannula about a proximal end of the single use portion. When the other single-use portion is assembled with the reusable portion, the motor robotically angulates the distal end of the cannula. Another medical endoscope is single-use in its entirety and has motor-driven angulation of the cannula's distal end. Another has manually controlled angulation.



0038] This patent specification relates to endoscopy instruments and methods. More particularly, some embodiments relate to portable instruments that include a reusable portion and a releasably attached single-use portion.

BACKGROUND
[0039] Endoscopes have long been used to view and treat internal tissue. In the case of both rigid and flexible conventional endoscopes, the optical system and related components are relatively expensive and are intended to be re-used many times. Therefore, stringent decontamination and disinfection procedures need to be carried out after each use, which adds significant expense in equipment and labor.

0040] In recent years, disposable endoscopes have been developed and improved, typically comprising a single-use portion that includes a cannula with a camera at the distal end. The cannula releasably attaches to a reusable portion that includes image processing electronics and a display. Disposable or single-use endoscopy significantly lessens the risk of cross-contamination and hospital acquired diseases and eliminates the expense and time for decontamination and disinfection that non-disposable endoscopes require. The disposable endoscopes find applications in medical procedures such as imaging and treating the male and female urinary system and the female reproductive system and other internal organs. Examples of disposable or single-use endoscopes are discussed in the patents and application incorporated by reference.

0042] As described in the initially presented claims but subject to amendments thereof in prosecuting this patent application, according to some embodiments a compact robotic endoscope comprises: a reusable portion that is configured for being grasped by hand and has an elongated slot that has an open side extending along a cannula axis; a single-use portion comprising a cannula that extends along the cannula axis; wherein said single use portion has distal and proximal ends and comprises: an imaging module at the distal end, comprising one or more cameras and one or more light sources; a proximal port at the proximal end, a distal port at the distal end, and an internal channel extending from the proximal port to the distal port; a driven element at the proximal end, configured to selectively change a physical parameter of the cannula when driven; and a single-use electrical contact at the proximal end; wherein said reusable portion comprises: an internal power source; an internal motor; a gear shaft extending into said slot and coupled with the motor to be selectively rotated thereby; a reusable electrical contact that is inside said slot; one or more manually operated motor control buttons coupled with the power source and the motor to cause the motor to drive the gear shaft in selected angular directions; one or more manually operated image control buttons configured to control said imaging module; wherein said proximal end of the single-use portion is configured to fit into said slot of the reusable portion in a direction transverse to the cannula axis to thereby in a single motion mate said electrical contacts with each other and to mate the gear shaft with the driven element and thereby form an assembled endoscope; and wherein in the assembled endoscope: said one or more image control buttons are configured to selectively control transfer of image data from the imaging module for display thereof; and said one or more motor control buttons are configured to selectively control at least one of (a) robotic rotation of the cannula about the cannula axis in a selected angular direction and through a selected angle and (b) robotic angulation of the distal portion of the cannula in a selected direction relative to the cannula axis and through a selected angle relative to the cannula axis.

0079] FFCs 306 can be provided with autofocus facilities that can be the type used in contemporary smartphones, and with lenses that can be electronically focused for varying object heights and working distances. The lenses of FFCs 306 can be liquid lenses, which are small, mechanically of electrically controlled cells containing optical-grade liquid. When a current or voltage is applied to a liquid lens cell, the shape of the cell changes. This change occurs within milliseconds and causes the optical power, and therefore focal length and working distance to the object being imaged, to shift. In the embodiment of FIG. 3 , the lenses of FFCs 306 can be controlled by the autofocus facilities of the FFCs. Alternatively, the FFCs 306 can be provided with lenses configured to move relative to the camera's image plane using Voice Coil Motor working principle that involves a permanent magnetic field and controlling a spring by changing DC current of the coil, thereby driving the lens toward or away from the image plane. Voice Coil Motor (VCM) is widely used in contemporary camera modules. Another option is the poLight® TLens technology that is believed to out-compete many traditional VCM features. A migration from VCM technology to the new poLight® technology is foreseen for smartphones, wearables, consumer devices as well as for demanding industrial or medical applications. The fundamental structure of the TLens® is very different from the VCM technology: Whereas the VCM technology moves the lens barrel to create focus, the TLens® does not require the lens barrel to move but only gets attached to it opto-mechanically, then creates the focusing lens effect to tune the optical characteristics of the combined lens stack.

The invention relates to a device for receiving radiation from a detection area that can be provided in the interior of the vehicle or in the vicinity of the vehicle. For the various applications in the automotive sector, it is necessary to optically scan individual areas in the interior of a vehicle or in the vicinity of the vehicle. An application example in the interior of the vehicle is gesture recognition for operating vehicle components. In the area around a vehicle, the detection of obstacles in parking assistance systems or the detection of the blind spot areas of the rear-view mirror of a vehicle are possible application examples. [0003] A large number of such systems have in common the optical detection of radiation reflected from the respective detection area. In this regard, camera systems with photo sensors are mostly used, which have the highest possible number of pixels and are manufactured using semiconductor technology

The larger the detection range, the larger the angular range or solid angle range should be from which the camera receives radiation. Large angular ranges require photo sensors with a higher resolution than those of camera systems for smaller angular ranges, ie with a higher number of pixels. However, higher resolution photosensors are more expensive to manufacture

The object of the invention is to provide a device for receiving radiation from a detection area in the interior of a vehicle or in the vicinity of a vehicle in which, despite a comparatively large-angle detection area of the camera, photosensors can be used that have a comparatively small number of pixels feature


a sensor having pixels for detecting radiation coming from the detection area and - an optical unit upstream of the sensor with an optical axis on which the sensor is arranged, - wherein the optics unit has a refractive or reflective deflection optics element arranged on the optical axis, which can be automatically moved in one or two dimensions and/or rotated in one or two dimensions and/or automatically tilted and/or can be moved automatically, e.g. circling and tumbling.


With regard to the movable arrangement of the deflection optical element, it is advantageous if this is arranged on a transparent, deformable carrier material for the radiation to be received, which is in particular a gel or a polymer material, the carrier material being Movement of the deflection optical element deformed. The carrier material for the deflection optical element serves, so to speak, as a deformable and in particular as an elastic cushion, which deforms when the deflection optical element is moved. The carrier material itself is transparent to the radiation to be received. Such polymer optical systems are offered by the companies Optotune Switzerland AG and PoLight AS, among others

Utdrag :

In some implementations, lens system 110 is a fixed focus lens. However, in some embodiments, the camera 100 may include an optical actuator component, such as an optical microelectromechanical system (MEMS), located in front of the lens system 110 (i.e., on the object side of the lens), the optical actuator component An auto focus (AF) function is provided for the camera 100 . In some embodiments, optical actuators may include, but are not limited to, substrates (eg, transparent glass or plastic substrates), flexible optical elements (eg, flexible lenses), and actuator components configured to change The shape of the flexible optical element provides adaptive optics functionality for the camera without physically moving the camera lens 110 . Optical functions provided by optical actuators may include autofocus (AF) functions. In some embodiments, optical actuators may provide other optical functions for camera 100, such as tilt and/or optical image stabilization (OIS) functions. Optical actuators may also be referred to as SSAF (Solid State Autofocus) components or modules. In some embodiments, the adaptive optics functionality for camera 100 is provided by optical actuators that change the shape of the flexible optical element to affect the passage of light from the object field through the flexible optical element to the camera lens, rather than The camera lens 110 is physically moved.

However, as photosensors have become more compact and powerful, the demand for compact imaging lens systems with improved imaging quality performance has increased. Additionally, small form factor cameras are increasingly expected to feature higher pixel counts and/or larger pixel size image sensors (either or both of which may require larger image sensors), while still remaining compact enough to fit into Module height in portable electronic devices. Therefore, the challenge from the perspective of optical system design is to provide imaging lens systems capable of capturing high brightness, high resolution images within the physical constraints imposed by small form factor cameras.

Hei!
Jeg har fortsatt PLT aksjer men har vektet meg ned en del, synes denne prosessen går veldig tregt, tror jeg har god tid til å kjøpe meg opp igjen til en lavere pris..

Hvis en sammenligner polight med Elabs! Elabs er allerede i 8 mobilene og nærmere 20 laptop’ er. Omsetningen til Elabs var av den grunn langt fra imponerende med 33 mill siste kvartal..

Da tenker jeg at det må være lenge, lenge til PLT har samme omsetning, ettersom de kun er i en mobil og litt andre småting..

Synspunkter?
