Our F1.0 darklight lens 4mm PL100 demonstrates significant advantages in stray light suppression, edge imaging sharpness and light transmittance, with higher yield and better consistency. It can still clearly capture details in low-light conditions.
The aperture of F1.0 is nearly the physical limit for traditional optical lenses, with the key challenges lying in:
1) Design Challenges:
- Extremely shallow depth of field (DOF): The DOF of an F1.0 lens is approximately 0.25 times that of a traditional F2.0 lens. In optical design, this demands:
- Ultra-high manufacturing precision for components.
- Submicron-level assembly accuracy.
- Mitigation of image blur caused by thermal expansion/contraction of plastic/metal/CMOS materials.
- Requires profound optical design expertise.
- Stray light suppression:
- Advanced simulation tools and empirical feedback are critical for iterative design optimization to minimize stray light.
2) Component Manufacturing Precision:
- Component tolerances for F1.0 lenses are ~5x stricter than F2.0 lenses.
- Key components require:
- Dimensional accuracy <0.6 microns.
- High cavity-to-cavity consistency in injection molding.
- Demands end-to-end ultra-precision manufacturing and metrology capabilities.
3) Cost Control:
- Achieving cost-effectiveness requires:
- Industry-wide precision component manufacturing.
- High assembly yield and consistency.
- Automation-driven production scalability.
**Note:**
Only 2-3 companies globally have comparable products. Benchmark tests show our product excels in:
- Superior stray light suppression.
- Marginal improvements in edge sharpness and transmittance.
- Higher first-pass yield than competitors.
