LCD Module Lens and Lens Modules
  Why does the image look obscure?
 
a. Improper adjustment of back focal length
b. Incompatible lenses specification with sensor type c. Stained lenses.
   
  Why are not the lenses fixed properly?
 
The screws or other interfaces between holders and barrels are not coincident. The solutions are that we provide the barrels and holders or design the barrel complying with the holder.
   
  How to protect the lenses?
 
Lenses are fragile components. Please handle with care and protect free of dust. We suggest using of dust proof covers to prevent the damage or contamination. For the plastic material, the physical limitations are listed as follows:

  How to calculate angle of view(field of view) ?
 
Answer: See the figure shown below, where w is angel of view, f indicates focal length and y stands for image size. In trigonometric function, tan(w/2)=(y’/2)/f, therefore, w=2tan-1(y’/2f).

   
  Aberration-see terminology for explanations.
 
Aberrations are summarized as below, and you can find the terminology for details.

a. Spherical aberration.
b. Coma aberration (comatic aberration)
c. Chromatic aberration.
d. Astigmatism.
e. Field curvature.
f. Distortion.
g. Flare/ Ghost image.

   
  Definition of pixel number?
 
Answer: CIF-100,000 pixels, 640*480 VGA300,000 pixels, 800*600 SVGA480,000, 1024*768 XGA 780,000pixels, 1280*1024 SXGA 1,300,000 pixels, 1600*1200 UXGA 1,920,000 pixels.
   
  Definition of image sensor size?
 
The size of an image sensor is called its format. The name of a format does not correspond to any dimension. Historically, a one-half inch format is the size of the sensing area of a Vidicon tube, which is one-half inch in diameter. It is important to choose a lens that covers the camera format. For a given field of view (FOV), the camera format determines the required magnification. A larger sensor requires a larger magnification for a given FOV.

   
  Design trade off between performance and cost.
 
As we described previously, aberrations always exist in optical system. We can decrease the aberration only by using more lenses in product design. Besides, wider field of view, higher resolution, larger illumination or magnification surely lead cost higher.
