Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of optical lens technology, specifically to a glass-plastic hybrid high-definition scanning imaging system. Background Technology

[0002] Current industry demands that scanning imaging systems provide consistent imaging across the entire scanning plane (typically a line or a rectangular area). Key performance indicators include: extremely low distortion (<0.1%), high telecentricity (principal ray angle close to 0 degrees), high MTF to resolve details, and excellent chromatic aberration correction to avoid color fringing.

[0003] Traditional scanning lenses are mostly all-glass multi-element designs, which have excellent performance, but are complex in structure, expensive and heavy, making them unsuitable for consumer-grade or mass-production industrial equipment. All-plastic lenses cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of low distortion, high telecentricity and low chromatic aberration. The thermal expansion and refractive index drift of plastic materials can cause the position of the scanning line and the focal plane to drift, resulting in poor stability when scanning at high speed or when the environment and document change.
