Publication number: 20020008918Abstract: When a projection lens system used for a rear projection type image display apparatus has a first lens group having an aspherical lens surface, a second lens group, a third lens group sharing almost all the positive refractive power of the overall system, a fourth lens group having an aspherical lens surface, a fifth lens group, and a sixth lens group including a lens having a profile of aspherical surface in which the concave surface thereof faces the screen side and the refractive power in the marginal area is weaker than the refractive power around the optical axis, a projection lens system having a large aperture ratio (low F-number), high focus, wide field angle, and sufficient marginal light amount ratio can be realized at a low cost. When a predetermined opening portion is formed in the projection lens and lens barrel, the lens elements are cooled by air suction and exhaust and the lowering of the lens performance due to temperature change can be prevented.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2001Publication date: January 24, 2002Applicant: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Koji Hirata, Naoyuki Ogura, Shigeru Mori, Takahiro Yoshida, Kazunari Nakagawa

Publication number: 20010050819Abstract: A Gaussian lens for photography includes, in order from the object side, a front lens group, a stop, and a rear lens group. The front lens group is formed of, in order from the object side, a first lens element and a second lens element, each of positive meniscus shape with their convex surfaces on the object side, and a third lens element that has a negative meniscus shape with its convex surface on the object side. The rear lens group is formed of, in order from the object side, a fourth lens element which has a negative meniscus shape with its concave surface on the object side, and fifth and sixth lens elements each of which is a positive meniscus lens with its convex surface on the image side. Each lens element surface is spaced from any adjacent lens elements so that no lens element surfaces are joined to form a combined lens.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2001Publication date: December 13, 2001Inventor: Kazunori Ohno
