OPTICAL ARRANGEMENT FOR SMALL SIZE WIDE ANGLE AUTO FOCUS IMAGING LENS FOR HIGH RESOLUTION SENSORS

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for capturing an image of at least one object appearing in a field of view (FOV). A housing has an image sensor an autofocusing lens assembly fixedly mounted relative thereto. The autofocusing lens assembly employs multiple lens groups and a liquid lens. The lens groups, liquid lens, and the image sensor are aligned such that light received within the FOV passes through the lens groups and liquid lens and impinges onto the image sensor. The image sensor generates an electrical signal indicative of the received image.
