  • Patent number: 7575340
    Abstract: A light-emitting diode light source system includes a plurality of light-emitting diode modules for providing light beams; a light-combining unit including a plurality of light incident sides and a light emerging side, the light beams from the light-emitting diode modules entering the light-combining unit via the light incident sides, respectively, and emerging out of the light-combining unit via the light emerging side; a plurality of primary lens units disposed between the light-emitting diode modules and the light incident sides, respectively; a secondary lens unit disposed to confront the light emerging side; and a focusing lens disposed adjacent to the secondary lens unit, the secondary lens unit being disposed between the light-combining unit and the focusing lens, the light beams from the light-emitting diode modules passing through the primary lens units, the light-combining unit, the secondary lens unit and the focusing lens to be projected onto a light valve.

  • Patent number: 5734513
    Abstract: A foldable screen display for displaying screen images is disclosed which comprises: (a) at least two sub-displays; (b) a hinging member for pivotally connecting the sub-displays together on a side-by-side manner; (c) a magnifying optical element provided on top of each of the sub-displays, the magnifying optical element providing a magnifying power of between about 1.05 and about 1.3 so as to cause images displayed on the sub-displays to be perceived by a user as if they were from a single display; and (d) a membrane covering both of the sub-displays and the hinging member, the membrane being made of a transparent and resilient material. In a preferred embodiment, the magnifying optical element is a zone plate type magnifying optical element and is constructed to provide a magnifying power approximately equalling to one plus the ratio between the width of the hinging member and the width of sub-display.

  • Patent number: 5216548
    Abstract: A compound lens system specifically designed for use in a handy scanner of a computer system for photographing a printed object. The compound lens is capable of photographing the printed object up to a width of 128 mm, (5.04 in). The compound lens system encompasses four lenses which include a positive lens with a convex surface and a non-concave surface, two biconcave lenses, and a biconvex lens.

  • Patent number: 4962984
    Abstract: A constant-speed scanning lens system composed of two lens components. One lens component is a biconcave negative lens having the function of diverging parallel rays. The other lens component is a biconvex positive lens having the function of focusing diverging rays. The constant-speed scanning lens system is of a compact size and has a wider scanning angle than previously attainable.
