  • Patent number: 8345359
    Abstract: A lens system includes, from an object-side to an image-side, a first lens with positive refractive power, an aperture stop, a second lens with positive refractive power, a third lens with negative refractive power, a color filter, and an image plane. The first lens includes a first surface facing the object-side and a second surface facing the image-side. The second lens includes a third surface facing the object-side and a fourth surface facing the image-side. The imaging lens satisfies the following conditions: 0.26<R1/F1<0.35; and ?0.65<R2/F2<?0.35. Wherein: R1 is a radius of curvature of the first surface; R2 is a radius of curvature of the second surface; F1 is a focal length of the first lens; F2 is a focal length of the second lens.

  • Patent number: 7777970
    Abstract: An exemplary super-wide-angle lens includes a lens barrel, a set of imaging lenses, and a prism. The set of imaging lenses is received in the lens barrel. The prism has three light incident surfaces, each of which is coated with a unique color filter for exclusively transmitting a predetermined color light, and a light emissive surface. The prism is positioned such that each of the light incident surfaces is configured for receiving light from a unique field of view of the super-wide-angle lens and the light emissive surface faces the set of imaging lenses, and is structured so that light transmitting in the prism is directed from the light incident surfaces to the light emissive surface.
