  • Publication number: 20210397013
    Abstract: The invention relates to a projector module. In particular, the invention relates to a projector module for the use in mobile devices, wherein a most compact, stable and reliable module structure with high module efficiency can be achieved. A projector module according to the invention comprises a beam path with a laser source, designed to emit coherent electromagnetic radiation with a divergent beam profile; a collection optics, designed to collimate or focus the divergent radiation emitted by the laser source convergently into an image plane; and a diffractive optical element, DOE, designed to generate a projection pattern from the radiation collimated or focused by the collection optics; wherein a deflector, designed to deflect the divergent radiation emitted by the laser source from a first direction into a second direction deviating from the first direction, is arranged in front of the collection optics or is designed as a collection optics.

  • Patent number: 10456530
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a supplementary device for attachment to an injection device including an imaging arrangement configured to capture an image of a moveable number sleeve of the injection device, a plurality of light sources, and a processor arrangement configured to control operation of the imaging arrangement and the plurality of light sources and to receive image data from the imaging arrangement. In some instances, the processor arrangement is configured to activate the plurality of light sources sequentially and to combine multiple images captured by the imaging apparatus under different illumination conditions into a single image.

  • Patent number: 10451246
    Abstract: The invention relates to a microlens arrangement (12) and an illumination device (10) for uniformly illuminating of an area (F), with a light source (11) and a microlens arrangement (12). In order to illuminate the area (F) to be illuminated as homogeneously as possible, the at least one microlens (1) of the microlens arrangement (12) has an entrance face (2) which is shaped such that monochromatic light incident on the microlens (1) and propagating parallel to the optical axis (O) is refracted by the entrance face (2) such that back focal lengths (S1, S2, S3) of the light with the optical axis (O) increase with the height of incidence (E1, E2, E3).

  • Patent number: 9920902
    Abstract: A laser source is described. The laser source is configured for providing collimated laser beams arranged in a ring-shape for exiting a phosphor. The laser source has laser diodes arranged in a ring-shaped manner around a symmetry axis. Parallel parts of the laser beams form a hollow tube. Further, a light source is described. The light source has a phosphor, an optical element and a light source configured for providing collimated laser beams arranged in a ring-shape for exiting the phosphor. The light source is arranged such that the collimated laser beams are directed opposite to the collimated luminance.
