Patent number: 9864179Abstract: An iris recognition lens system including a first lens and a second lens disposed on an optical axis and sequentially from an object to take an image of an iris and a pupil. A front part of the first lens includes a reflecting area in a central portion and a transmitting area in a circumferential portion. A rear part of the first lens includes a concave transmitting area in a central portion and a reflecting area in a circumferential portion. The second lens is disposed at a rear of the transmitting area in the central portion of the rear part of the first lens. A plurality of reflecting areas and a plurality of transmitting areas are provided in a single lens in order to reduce the length of the lens and increase a focal length, thereby reducing the length of the entire iris recognition lens system.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2015Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Assignee: SEKONIX CO., LTD.Inventors: Soon Chul Choi, Chang S. Jegal, Yang S. Kim, Young J. Lee

Publication number: 20160187630Abstract: A telephoto lens system including a lens disposed on an optical axis from an object. A front part of the lens includes a reflecting area in a central portion and a transmitting area in a circumferential portion. A rear part of the lens includes a concave transmitting area in central portion and a reflecting area in a circumferential portion. The lens is formed of a single material. A single lens has a plurality of reflecting areas and a plurality of transmitting areas in order to reduce the length of the lens and increase a focal length, thereby reducing the length of the entire telephoto lens system. The angle of light with respect to the optical axis is controlled to improve imaging, thereby improving the performance of the optical system. A small but high-definition telephoto lens system is provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2015Publication date: June 30, 2016Applicant: Sekonix Co., Ltd.Inventors: Soon Chul Choi, Hyeoung S.

Patent number: 9042026Abstract: Disclosed is an optical system for a head-mounted display, in which image rays provided from a display device are diverged to form and provide an enlarged image. First, second, and third lenses or first, second, third, and fourth lenses are sequentially disposed from an object along an optical axis and provide the enlarged image on an image plane, and angles of principal rays are gradually increased from the optical axis toward an edge of the image plane. Thus, as the angles of principal rays increase, the angle of view is improved to provide a large image so that it is possible to appreciate a vivid image due to an increase in the sense of presence and the degree of involvement. The size of the entire optical system can be reduced, thus a head-mounted display can be made compact and lightweight.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2013Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: Sekonix Co., Ltd.Inventors: Soon Chul Choi, Jung Hee Hwangbo
