Patent number: 8134780Abstract: A prism includes a light incident portion that has first and second convex portions, the first and second convex portions each are a convex portion that refracts rays of light incident to a prism body and reduces a spread angle after incidence to the prism body via the convex portion to be smaller than that before the incidence, the spread angle is an angle between a given two of the rays, a first reflecting surface, provided on the prism body, that can reflect a first ray of light that has entered the prism body via the first convex portion, a first emitting portion, provided on the prism body, that emits, to the outside, the first ray reflected by the first reflecting surface, and a second emitting portion that emits, to the outside, a second ray of light that has entered the prism body via the second convex portion.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2010Date of Patent: March 13, 2012Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hiroyuki Ominato, Takeshi Kitakata, Shunsuke Ichizawa

Publication number: 20100149655Abstract: The present invention provides a zoom lens having fewer constituting lenses and capable of easily keeping telecentricity. From a projection plane side, lens groups ranging from a first lens group to a fourth lens group are disposed, sequentially. The first lens group consists of the three lenses, one negative lens, one positive lens and one negative lens arranged sequentially from the projection plane side, and has a negative power. The second lens group consists of three lenses in total, that is, one positive lens, one compound lens and one compound lens arranged sequentially from the projection plane PL side and has a positive power. The third lens group consists of one negative lens. The fourth lens group consists of one positive lens. At power varying, the first lens group and the second lens group are moved with the third lens group and the fourth lens group kept fixed. The third lens group is moved for focusing.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2006Publication date: June 17, 2010Applicant: BROTHER KOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Takeshi Kitakata, Takahiro Sugiyama

Publication number: 20090244723Abstract: This invention is to enable a viewing angle of 110° or more with low chromatic aberration of magnification and distortion, while using a low number of lenses, such as 5 lenses. There is provided a first lens group and a second lens group arranged in order from a light incident side. The first lens group comprises a single negative lens, and a cemented lens that is a single positive lens and a single negative lens cemented together, and has negative power. The second lens group comprises two positive lenses and has positive power. The first lens group and the second lens group respectively include a single aspheric lens. Further, this wide-angle imaging lens satisfies the following conditional expression (1). 0.7?|F1/F2|?2.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2009Publication date: October 1, 2009Applicant: BROTHER KOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Takeshi KITAKATA, Takahiro SUGIYAMA
