Patent number: 11002534Abstract: A patterned light irradiation apparatus is enclosed. The patterned light irradiation apparatus comprises a light source, a pattern grating, an aperture, wherein the pattern grating includes a striped shape in a form including repetition of a transmission part and a shielding part, and the aperture includes an opening having a sinusoidal wave-shaped cross section. When the patterned light irradiation apparatus irradiates patterned light to a subject, the patterned irradiation apparatus performs defocusing and thus can irradiate patterned light having an ideal sinusoidal form to the subject. Therefore, a three-dimensional image of high quality can be acquired.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2017Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: KOH YOUNG TECHNOLOGY INC.Inventor: Jong Kyu Hong

Patent number: 9046498Abstract: An apparatus for inspecting a board is shown. The board inspection apparatus includes at least one illuminating module, an imaging lens, a first beam splitter, a first camera, and a second camera. The illuminating module provides light to an inspection board and the imaging lens transmits a light reflected from the inspection board. The first beam splitter transmits a portion of the light transmitted from the imaging lens and reflects the rest of the transmitted light. The first camera image-captures by receiving the light that transmits the first beam, and the second camera image-captures by receiving the light reflected from the first beam splitter. Therefore, by using one imaging lens to inspect the inspection board, the decrease in accuracy caused by the different optical axis or magnification may be prevented.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2011Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: KOH YOUNG TECHNOLOGY INC.Inventors: Jong-Kyu Hong, Moon-Young Jeon, Hong-Min Kim, Jung Hur, Sang-Kyu Yun
