| 20080212204 | Lens Module - Combining one or more elements of a beam shaping assembly in a lens module to, for example, reduce the mechanical tolerances in construction of the assembly. An exemplary lens module comprises a molded plastic lens with alignment features, a cylindrical surface, a focusing surface, and an aperture. The aperture is formed by surface positioned on the lens module at an angle greater than the angle for total internal reflection. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20100053769 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MICROMACHINED CYLINDRICAL LENSES - Systems and methods are operable to focus light. An exemplary embodiment has a MEMS substrate, a first cylindrical lens having a first cylindrical surface, and a second cylindrical lens having a second cylindrical surface that is oriented perpendicular to the first cylindrical surface. Light passing through the first and second cylindrical lenses is focused. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100177405 | Optical Fiber Micro Array Lens - An optical fiber micro array lens is provided along with an associated fabrication method. The micro array lens is fabricated from a mesh of optical fibers. The mesh includes a first plurality of cylindrical optical fibers. Each fiber from the first plurality has a flat bottom surface and a hemicylindrical top surface. The top and bottom surfaces are aligned in parallel with a central fiber axis. The mesh also includes a second plurality of cylindrical optical fibers. Each fiber from the second plurality has a hemicylindrical bottom surface overlying and in contact with the top surfaces of the first plurality of optical fibers, and a flat top surface. The top and bottom surfaces are aligned in parallel with a central fiber axis. Each contact of the first and second plurality of optical fibers forms a lens assembly in a micro array of lenses. | 07-15-2010 |

| 20100182706 | Optical-Deflection Accelerating Device - An optical-deflection accelerating device is provided. The device comprises an incident light source for generating an incident light-beam with a deflection speed, an emergent-light capturing device for capturing an emergent light-beam, and a reflective device which is a curved-surface reflective mirror for reflecting the incident light-beam to the emergent-light capturing device. When the incident light-beam enters to a reflective point on the curved-surface reflective mirror in sequence, an incident angle and a reflective angle are altered with locations of the reflective point on the curved-surface reflective mirror, and are increased with an increased curvature of the reflective point. When the incident light-beam is deflected with a tiny initial deflection angle, the reflective light-beam is deflected therewith and the deflection angle is enlarged. The curvature of the curved-surface reflective mirror can be adjusted to obtain different accelerated deflections. | 07-22-2010 |
| 20120063009 | LENS SHEET, DISPLAY PANEL, AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS - To suppress bad shaping generated due to fusion of neighboring cylindrical lenses in a lens sheet formed by using an ultraviolet curable resin, for example. A lens sheet includes: a substrate formed with a transparent material; a plurality of protruded lines provided on the substrate in parallel at a specific pitch; and a plurality of cylindrical lenses, each of which is provided between the plurality of protruded lines on the substrate. The protruded line for forming the lens is designed to be constituted with a set of two lines, i.e., a left protruded line and a right protruded line, to suppress fusion of the neighboring lenses. | 03-15-2012 |
| 20140347744 | LENS AND LASER PROCESSING APPARATUS EQUIPPED WITH THE LENS - A member having an arbitrary shape having a closed curve can be easily subjected to laser processing within a short time. A lens and a laser processing apparatus equipped with the lens are for cutting a material to be cut into a member having an arbitrary shape having a closed curve and include a convex cylindrical lens which is molded to have a closed path so that a line that connects vertices of a cylindrical surface of the convex cylindrical lens has the same form as the arbitrary shape having the closed curve. | 11-27-2014 |
| 20160033774 | DEVICE FOR HOMOGENIZING A LASER BEAM - Device for homogenizing a laser beam including a first substrate with a first lens array including a plurality of cylindrical lenses and a second substrate with a second cylindrical lens array, which is arranged in the beam path downstream of the first substrate and includes a plurality of cylindrical lenses. Exactly one of the cylindrical lenses of the second lens array is assigned to each of the cylindrical lenses of the first lens array. Center-to-center distances between the cylindrical lenses of the first lens array are greater than the center-to-center distances between the cylindrical lenses of the second lens array. A lens vertex of a central one of the cylindrical lenses of the first lens array is aligned with a lens vertex of a central one of the cylindrical lenses of the first lens array that is assigned thereto. Lens vertices of the other cylindrical lenses of the second lens array and the lens vertices of the cylindrical lenses of the first lens array that are assigned thereto have an outwardly increasing vertex offset proceeding from the center of the second lens array. | 02-04-2016 |
