  • Publication number: 20240064276
    Abstract: The image forming optical system is capable of forming an image on a conjugated plane on a reduction side as an intermediate image and re-forming the intermediate image as a magnified image on a conjugated plane on a magnification side. The image forming optical system includes: a first adjustment group that moves along an optical axis in adjusting an image formation position of a region of the magnified image including a farthest point from the optical axis; and a second adjustment group that moves along the optical axis in adjusting an image formation position of a region of the magnified image including a nearest point from the optical axis. An optical element disposed closest to the magnification side is a lens. The second adjustment group has a positive refractive power as a whole, and is disposed closest to the reduction side.

  • Patent number: 11856337
    Abstract: A projection-type display device includes: a display element including a rectangular displayable region in which an image is displayable; and a projection optical system. Assuming that a focal length of the projection optical system is f and a length of a long side of the displayable region is w, 0.15<|f|/w<0.45 is satisfied. An absorption layer that absorbs light is provided in at least a portion of a non-optically effective surface of a lens which is disposed closer to a reduction side than a first lens closest to an enlargement side in the projection optical system and at least a part of a portion which is irradiated with light that has been emitted from an image and reflected by an enlargement-side surface of the first lens or a reduction-side surface of the first lens.

  • Patent number: 11835697
    Abstract: A zoom lens forms an intermediate image at a position conjugate to a reduction side imaging plane and forms the intermediate image again on a magnification side imaging plane. The zoom lens includes a plurality of lens groups including at least two movable lens groups, which move by changing spacings between the groups adjacent to each other in a direction of an optical axis during zooming, at a position closer to the reduction side than the intermediate image. Among the plurality of lens groups, a final lens group closest to the reduction side has a positive refractive power, and remains stationary with respect to the reduction side imaging plane during zooming. The zoom lens satisfies predetermined conditional expressions (1) and (2) about the focal lengths of the movable lens groups.

  • Patent number: 11796824
    Abstract: An image forming optical system consists of a first optical system and a second optical system in order from a magnification side. An intermediate image is formed between the first optical system and the second optical system. Among the aspherical lenses included in the first optical system, a specific lens, which is the aspherical lens closest to the intermediate image on the optical path, has a meniscus shape of which a surface is convex toward the reduction side in a paraxial region. The image forming optical system satisfies a maximum image height, a focal length, and predetermined conditional expressions for the specific lens.
