TLens the next generation lens for a wide range of applications

Offentlig prosjektsammendrag

TLens poLight Auto Focus (AF) products can be considered as revolutionary products and has penetrate different markets today ranging from Webcam, Industrial and AR-VR application, the mobile application are the next big step, and more opportunities are coming. Therefore, the next generation products must have new features and performance parameters in different aspect to secure future market opportunities. The trends of miniature optics are clear. All applications are requesting even higher performances from all aspect such as optical quality and more demanding reliability requirements. Further sensors size increase and lower FN (i.e. better light sensitivity) is pushing the need towards bigger aperture tuneable optic (Auto Focus (AF) in particular). It is also important to consider that some market like the medical application will required smaller footprint tuneable optic. This request is mainly driven by the endoscope application. In this project the R&D work is focused on the different elements of the lens that are crucial for the performance, quality and life time. This typically involve improved properties of the polymer, high force in the actuator, better mechanical strength and a more optimized design of the final lens stack/camera
