  • Patent number: 7382543
    Abstract: The present invention mainly relates to the structure and manufacturing process of a new f? lens in LSU, which is plastic lens produced through injection molding. Its optical surface is made of multi-sections, and the optical surface of each section, according to the angles formed between the sections and the laser beams ripping-in, are designed with a specified coefficient set. Therefore, this new f? lens, with high tolerance in assembling and high performance in scanning, avoids the demerit of conventional f? lens, each optical surface of which has only one coefficient set. According to the curve fall formed at the border of every two optical surfaces, we find out a way to ascertain the best continuing surface profile, which is curve fitting simulation and optical simulation.

  • Patent number: 7268959
    Abstract: A lens module includes a lens set, a rotation base, an outer case, elastic members, a driving device having a stepping motor and a base frame. The lens set is fixed inside the rotation base that is elastically arranged between an upper case and a lower case by elastic members. By clockwise/counterclockwise rotation of the stepping motor outside the rotation base, the rotation base is driven to rotate. Furthermore, a plurality of sloped grooved surface that goes from shallow to deep and faces downwards is disposed on circular bottom surface of the rotation base and each sloped grooved surface presses homogeneously on a corresponding supporting point of the power case by elastic members. When the rotation base rotates, the sloped grooved surface moves relative to the supporting point so that the gap between the shallow and deep grooved surfaces becomes focusing travel. Furthermore, the base frame assembles or disassembles with the lens module by a fastening mechanism.

  • Patent number: 7190499
    Abstract: A laser scanning unit mainly includes a semiconductor laser, a collimator, a micro electronic mechanic system (MEMS) oscillatory mirror, and an f? lens or an f sin ? lens. The MEMS oscillatory mirror is disposed between the collimator and the f? lens to replace a conventional rotary polygonal mirror for controlling a direction in which laser beams are projected from the oscillatory mirror to the f? lens. With the MEMS oscillatory mirror, the cylindrical lens may be omitted from the laser scanning unit and noises produced by the polygonal mirror rotating at high speed may be avoided. Moreover, the MEMS oscillatory mirror allows bi-directional scanning to therefore enable increased scanning frequency, simplified structure, and improved scanning efficiency.
