  • Patent number: 8351125
    Abstract: A directional light distributing optical element includes a light incident surface and a light emission curved surface. The light incident surface receives a light emitted by a light source. The light emission curved surface and a first plane are intersected to form a first curve. The first curve has a plurality of first curve segments, and each first curve segment includes at least three first tangent points. After passing each first tangent point along a connecting line of the light source and each first tangent point, the light exits along a first axis, and an included angle formed between the first axis and an optic axis is greater than ?15° and smaller than 15°. Thus, the light after passing the directional light distributing optical element forms a one-dimensional directional light.

  • Publication number: 20110235865
    Abstract: An adjustable range finder and the method thereof are disclosed, in which the method comprising: projecting a first beam containing information of an object on a refractive optical element, being comprised a liquid-crystal layer, electrically connected to a voltage device, and a transmission blazed grating, so as to generate a second beam; enabling the voltage device to provide a first voltage to the liquid-crystal layer for forming an energy-concentrated Mth-order diffraction image by the projection of the second beam; adjusting and enabling the voltage device to provide a second voltage to the liquid-crystal layer for forming an energy-concentrated Nth-order diffraction image by the projection of the second beam; forming a series of images by the use of the Mth-order diffraction image and the Nth-order diffraction image; comparing the disparity between corresponding points in the series of images for obtaining the distance between the object and the refractive optical element.

  • Publication number: 20110090317
    Abstract: A stereovision system is disclosed, which comprises: at least one diffractive optical element and an optical imaging device. Each of the diffractive optical element is used for allowing a first beam containing information relating to an object to pass through and thus transforming the same into a second beam containing information relating to the object. The optical imaging device is used for receiving the second beam so as to concentrate the energy thereof for forming an Mth-order diffraction image. By combining the aforesaid Mth-order diffraction image with another energy-concentrated Nth-order diffraction image, a series of images can be formed. Accordingly, by comparing the disparity between corresponding points in the series of images, the distance between the object and the diffractive optical element can be obtained. It is noted that the aforesaid M and N represent the order of diffraction.

  • Publication number: 20080152901
    Abstract: A nano-structure optical insulating membrane includes a substrate, a nano-structure layer formed on the substrate, and a metal layer formed on the nano-structure layer is disclosed. Upon exposure to light, the nano-structure layer increases visible light transmission but reduces internal reflection, and the metal layer blocks infrared light and thereby provides thermal insulation. The nano-structure optical insulating membrane of the present invention enhances illumination, spares lighting equipment, saves energy, and enables users to see farther.
