Our F1.0 black light 4mm lens PL100 can still clearly capture the details of objects even in low-light conditions. At the same time, it demonstrates significant advantages in stray light suppression, edge image clarity and light transmittance, and has a higher yield rate and better product consistency.
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 terms of optical design, there are several challenges involved:
- Ultra-high manufacturing precision for components.
- Submicron-level assembly accuracy.
- Eliminate image blur caused by Contraction of Plastic/Metal/CMOS materials.
- Profound optical design expertise.
- Suppress stray light.
- Advanced simulation tools and experience feedback for continuous iterative design optimization.
2) Component Manufacturing Precision:
- Component tolerances for F1.0 lenses are ~5x stricter than F2.0 lenses.
The key components need to meet several important requirements:
- The dimensional accuracy is less than 0.6 micrometers.
- The consistency between the main cavity and the secondary cavity in injection molding must be very high.
- It requires end-to-end capabilities for ultra-precise manufacturing and measurement.
3) Cost Control:
- Achieving cost-effectiveness required:
- High assembly rate and consistency.
- Automation-driven production scalability.
*Note:*
Only a few lens manufacturing companies worldwide have similar products. Benchmark tests show our product excels in:
- Excellent suppression of stray light.
- Outstanding edge sharpness and transmittance.
- The first-pass yield that far exceeds of the competitors.
