摘要:
Projection lenses for use with pixelized panels, e.g., LCD panels, are provided. The lenses have a large focus range, e.g., a focus range of greater than 0.05 and in many cases greater than 0.1, and a limited (mini) zoom range, e.g., a zoom range of less than 15% (± 7.5% from the center of the range). By limiting the zoom range, complex lens structures involving large numbers of lens elements are avoided. In particular, the lenses employ at most one additional lens element and in many cases no additional lens elements compared to non-zooming lenses having a similar focus range.

An optical system (Fig. 4) to project an image from an illuminated object to an image plane (4) with a selected magnification factor. This system includes a lens system (6') having a fixed magnification factor and at least one flat plate (28) that is optically compatible with the lens system and which when bent into a cylindrical shape varies the fixed magnification factor of the lens system along one axis of the image. This variable magnification technique is applicable to all lens system types, including Wynne Dyson optical projection system. In addition, a Wynne Dyson optical projection system that includes an optical block in place of the usual fold prism (10) is discussed. The optical block (32) reduces changes in distortion caused by heat transferred from the reticle (2). The block permits the inclusion of a dichroic beamsplitter (34) diagonally through the optical block which presents minimal attenuation of the exposure illumination.

In this way it is possible to realize a bright projection type liquid crystal display device having a small size and a good image quality performance.
摘要:
A projection exposure apparatus achieves good imaging performance as securing a sufficient working distance. This projection exposure apparatus has a projection optical system for projection-transferring a real-size image of a first object onto a second object, which is disposed between the first object and the second object. This projection optical system has a cemented lens consisting of a plano-convex lens (L 2 ) and a first negative meniscus lens (L 3 ), a second negative meniscus lens (L 4 ), and path-bending prisms (P 1 , P 2 ) for guiding light from the first object to the plano-convex lens and for guiding light from the concave mirror (M) to the second object. The present invention is based on finding of appropriate ranges of refractive powers of the first and second negative meniscus lenses and appropriate ranges of Abbe numbers of glass materials for the first and second negative meniscus lenses.
摘要:
A video projector is used in target projection apparatus, for use with air defence training equipment, air traffic control training equipment, or other apparatus, where aircraft or other objects of interest (targets) are displayed on a large, normally spherical, projection screens. The projector incorporates a condenser for concentrating light from a source onto a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel. Zoom optics are arranged to receive and project light transmitted by the LCD panel onto the projection screen. The condenser itself includes a hollow body having an internal reflecting surface of revolution about an optical axis, the arrangement being such that light from the source entering the condenser is emitted as a beam within an emergent cone angle suited to the f-number of said zoom optics.

An illumination optical system includes a beam dividing device (2) for dividing a radiation beam into plural illumination beams, and an optical arrangement (5) for superposing the illumination beams one upon another on a surface (6,9) to be illuminated, the optical arrangement having different focal distances in substantially orthogonal first and second directions, and the optical arrangement being adapted to focus each of the illumination beams on the surface in the first direction while defocusing the same in the second direction, whereby a linear illumination region is defined on the surface.

A projection optical apparatus comprises an illuminating device (1,20) for illuminating an image (5), and a projecting device (6) for projecting the image illuminated by the illuminating device onto a screen. In the projection optical apparatus, the projecting device has a numerical aperture (NA) on a side of the screen changed depending upon a projection magnification of the image onto the screen.

Catadioptric area-of-interest display projectors (1) produce displays having resolution of substantially less than 10 arc minutes per line over a wide field of view. Such projectors (1) include an external entrance pupil (21) for receiving images of substantially collimated light, and optics (2-17) for conveying such light onto and through an opening (19) in the surface (35) of an aspheric mirror (18), and then through an opening (20) in a spherical mirror (33) so that light emerging from the opening (20) in the spherical mirror (33) is displayed on a curved screen surface with such high resolution. A projector system includes this projector (1) and a mirror for steering collimated light from the entrance pupil (21) of the projector (1) into the projector optics. This system, when placed in a flight simulator at the periphery of a flight simulator dome for projection of such light images onto the inner curved surface of the dome, provides high resolution images to viewers located at the center of the dome.
