  • Patent number: 7312933
    Abstract: A rectangular monobloc optical lens and a manufacturing method thereof are disclosed. A monobloc optical lens includes a rectangular surround and a central mirror-surface area. The rectangular surround is mounted inside a clipping part of a lens holder. The central mirror-surface area consists of a convex aspherical surface and a concave aspherical surface while the convex aspherical surface faces an image side and the concave aspherical surface faces an object side. The manufacturing method includes the steps of: cutting a sheet made from glass material into a plurality of rectangular sheet units; then setting the rectangular sheet unit into a mold for lens for hot pressing. Thereby, the manufacturing process is simplified and the cost is reduced. Moreover, the lens has high resolution and the volume of the lens is effectively reduced so as to increase the applications of the lens.

  • Patent number: 7262927
    Abstract: An auto-focus lens module uses electromagnetic force to drive a lens moving for focusing. The auto-focus lens is composed by a lens holder, a coil and an upper frame clipped on outer circumference of a lens so as to form a lens holder set. And the coil is fixed between the lens holder and the upper frame so as to reduce diameter and volume of the coil. Two arched magnets are disposed on left and right sides of the coil and are positioned by a top cover so that the volume of the magnets is reduced. Two springs are disposed on two guide pins on opposite angles, elastically supported between the lens holder and the inner surface of the top cover for providing the lens holder homogeneous support while moving for focusing. Thereby, the components of the lens module are simplified, the volume of the device is minimized, and the lens holder moves stably for focusing.

  • Publication number: 20070176084
    Abstract: An in-line laser scanning unit (LSU) with multiple light beams is disclosed. The LSU includes a minimized in-line mirror set composed by a plurality of vertically stacked Micro Electronic Mechanical System (MEMS) oscillatory mirrors and a linear corresponding scanning lens set formed by a plurality of F-Sin ? lens stacked vertically so as to correct the variation of reflective angle of the oscillatory mirror that is sinusoidal in time. Thus the scanning speed of multiple laser beams on the image plane is constant. Therefore, the volume of color printers is effectively reduced and the scanning efficiency is improved when the LSU in accordance with the present invention is applied to the optical engines of color printers.

  • Publication number: 20070147461
    Abstract: A laser device applied to a light source of laser scanning units (LSU) includes a laser diode disposed on an accommodation hole of a flange. A collimator lens is arranged on one end of an inner tube part of a holder while the other end of the inner tube part faces the laser diode so that the laser beam passes through the inner tube part of the holder and the collimator lens, then projects out. A lug extends radially from outer surface of the holder and a plurality of axial guide slots is disposed on the lug. A plurality of guide pins corresponding to the guide slots is arranged on the flange. By displacement between the guide pins and the guide slots, and adhesion of the UV-curing type adhesive, the laser diode and the collimator lens are assembled and calibrated. Thus the adhesion strength is enhanced and prevent the collimator lens from contacting the adhesive while coating the UV-curing type adhesive by conventional techniques.

  • Patent number: 7190499
    Abstract: A laser scanning unit mainly includes a semiconductor laser, a collimator, a micro electronic mechanic system (MEMS) oscillatory mirror, and an f? lens or an f sin ? lens. The MEMS oscillatory mirror is disposed between the collimator and the f? lens to replace a conventional rotary polygonal mirror for controlling a direction in which laser beams are projected from the oscillatory mirror to the f? lens. With the MEMS oscillatory mirror, the cylindrical lens may be omitted from the laser scanning unit and noises produced by the polygonal mirror rotating at high speed may be avoided. Moreover, the MEMS oscillatory mirror allows bi-directional scanning to therefore enable increased scanning frequency, simplified structure, and improved scanning efficiency.
