  • Patent number: 11933954
    Abstract: A zoom lens system includes: a first lens group having positive power; a second lens group having negative power; a third lens group having positive power; a fourth lens group having positive power; a fifth lens group having negative power; and a following lens group following the fifth lens group. The first to fifth lens groups and the following lens group are arranged in this order such that the first lens group is located closest to an object and that the following lens group is located closest to an image. While the zoom lens system is zooming, intervals between the respective lens groups change. While the zoom lens system is focusing from an infinity focus point through a shortest shooting range, a plurality of negative lens groups included in the fifth lens group and the following lens group move.

  • Publication number: 20230393384
    Abstract: An eyepiece optical system has an optical axis for guiding a light beam between a pupil of a user and a display surface, and includes: a first lens element having, on a display side, a polarizing reflective surface reflecting or transmitting an incident light beam according to polarization of the incident light beam; and a second lens element disposed between the first lens element and the display surface, and having a partial reflection surface reflecting a part of the incident light beam and transmitting a remaining part thereof. The first lens element has, on a pupil side, an aspherical surface including a convex region having a convex shape opposite to the polarizing reflective surface with the optical axis being positioned therein. The aspherical surface satisfies 0.05<SagH/BF<0.25 with a sag amount SagH at a maximum image height of the display surface and a back focus BF of the eyepiece optical system.
