Patent number: 10955648Abstract: A front projection display device is provided including an image-generating source configured to generate an image, a wide angle lens system adapted to receive the image, and a screen. The wide angle lens system may be configured to increase distortion of the image in a first stage and decrease distortion of the image in a second stage. The screen may be configured to receive the image from the wide angle lens system on a first side and reflect the image back to a viewer on the first side. In another embodiment, a screen is provided for a front projection system, the screen may be configured to receive light from a steep angle and may include any number of surface topographies configured to reflect light back to the viewer along a desired viewing plane.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2018Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: SEIKO EPSON CORPORATIONInventors: Mark D.

Publication number: 20100321494Abstract: A compact video capture system is provided with a folded optical assembly to reduce a relative system size while providing improved lens performance. The folded lens and optical assembly allow for an improved lens resolution and zoom capability while not overly restricting an F number in a compact dome camera. These compact video systems may be implemented in CCTV dome cameras or digital security cameras to improve image recording while being small enough to be discretely mounted. In one instance, the optical assembly includes a first lens system with a light gathering entrance oriented in a first optical axis direction, an image sensor configured to detect light gathered by the lens system oriented in a second optical axis direction, and an optical folding element disposed along the optical path to redirect light along the optical path by changing a traveling direction of the light.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 18, 2010Publication date: December 23, 2010Applicant: Theia Technologies, LLCInventors: Mark D.

Patent number: 7768715Abstract: A lens system for forming a final image of an object, said system having an object side and an image side and forming a first intermediate real image between the object and final image, said system comprising a moving lens group containing the intermediate real image as the magnification of the final image is changed. The lens system is configured as a whole system so that optical aberrations at the intermediate real image, including field curvature, focus, astigmatism, distortion and color separation, are allowed to be of substantially greater magnitude than the corresponding optical aberrations of the final image.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2008Date of Patent: August 3, 2010Assignee: Theia Technologies, LLCInventors: Jeffrey A. Gohman, Mark D. Peterson
