  • Patent number: 7889429
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical ocular system having imaging optics that map an image generated in an object plane such that a user can perceive the same in an image plane, wherein the imaging optics comprise a first lens having negative refractive power, and a deflection element having positive refractive power, which is connected downstream of the first lens, effecting a folding of the optical path by means of a single reflection, wherein the first lens and the object plane form a first optical group, and a displacement unit is provided, which can change the distance between the first optical group and the displacement element for the correction of spherical ametropia of the user.

  • Patent number: 7016120
    Abstract: An objective has a front group, a focus group displaceable along the optical axis and a follow-on lens group having a diaphragm. The front group is arranged at the objective end. The lens group having the diaphragm includes at least two composite lenses and/or two positive lenses and/or the back focus can be adjusted. An objective series is presented wherein all objectives of the series have a uniform appearance and/or the diaphragm is arranged in all objectives proceeding from the image plane at the same location.

  • Patent number: 6903875
    Abstract: An HMD device is provided, comprising an image element for generating an image and imaging optics projecting the image such that it is perceivable by a user wearing said HMD device, wherein said imaging optics comprise a first optical group including a first lens, which has negative refractive power, and a second lens, which has positive refractive power, a deflecting element arranged following the first optical group as well as a second optical group following the deflecting element, said second optical group comprising a third lens, and wherein, for correction of astigmatism and distortion, at least one surface of the first and second lenses is aspheric and, for correction of the spherical aberration, at least one surface of the third lens is aspheric.

  • Patent number: 6856468
    Abstract: A zoom lens comprises in a direction of light propagation a front lens group (G1) having positive refractive power, a variator lens group (G2) having negative refractive power, a compensator lens group (G3) having positive refractive power, and a base lens group (G4) having positive refractive power. The base lens group (G4) comprises a first base lens group (G4.1) and a second base lens group (G4.2). The front lens group (G1), the variator lens group (G2), the compensator lens group (G3) and the first base lens group (G4.1) are arranged along a common straight first optical axis (23). The second base lens group (G4.2) is arranged along a second optical axis 23?) inclined with respect to the first optical axis (23) at a first angle ? different from 0° and 180°. A beam deflector (18) is arranged between the first base lens group (G4.1) and the second base lens group (G4.2).
