20180224715 · 2018-08-09 · ·

A Fresnel lens includes multiple different zones. At least one of the zones may be an asymmetric zone that is radially asymmetric. The asymmetric zone may redirect light received from a light source located within a focal length of the Fresnel lens to a portion of a field of view of an image sensor. In some embodiments, multiple asymmetric zones may be implemented within the same Fresnel lens, which may have different radial asymmetry.

Camera flash with fresnel optic

A camera flash is provided with a lens element adjacent a light source, wherein the lens element has a plurality of concentric ridges projecting from a surface of the generally planar member to define facets of a Fresnel lens, and wherein the plurality of concentric ridges define a generally square or rectangular shape having rounded corners.

Apparatus for a security camera

A security camera and assembly include a camera lens assembly, a lens tilt locking mechanism, and a grab handle having LEDs mounted thereon. Embodiments include a lens tilt locking mechanism coupled to the camera lens assembly for setting a field of view (FOV) for a camera lens of the camera lens assembly. The grab handle is pivotally coupled to the camera lens assembly via a pivoting mechanism. The grab handle having LEDs mounted thereon pivots to provide independent control of illumination to the FOV without shifting the FOV. In a further embodiment, the grab handle may further include an antenna embedded therein.

MAGNIFICATION-PURPOSE EXTERNAL OPTICAL MODULE EXTERNAL TO PORTABLE TERMINAL WITH CAMERA, AND MAGNIFICATION IMAGEING DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME
20180210323 · 2018-07-26 · ·

Provided is a magnification-purpose external optical module external to a portable terminal at which a camera is installed, and a magnification imaging device including the module. An external optical module of the present invention may use an LED and a camera internal to a portable terminal such as a smart phone and thus capture a a high magnification image without a separate lighting source. Furthermore, an external optical module of the present invention does not need to use a separate lighting source because its thickness is implemented to be significantly thin and thus its focal length is designed to be significantly short, and it is possible to sufficiently illuminate a subject with a relatively distant LED in contrast to a thinned thickness.
