Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If multi-piece lens structure is adopted to improve imaging quality, then optical performance is improved, but device complexity and size increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimaging qualityVSAvoidlens structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The optical system is divided into six separate lens elements with alternating positive and negative refractive powers, allowing each element to be optimized for specific aberration correction while maintaining overall system performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Each lens element is designed with specific curvature radii and refractive power characteristics tailored to its position in the optical train, with the first lens having positive power for converging light, followed by negative power lenses for diverging and correcting aberrations, creating localized optical functions throughout the system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If lens structure is refined to correct aberrations, then imaging quality is improved, but manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaberration correctionVSAvoidcurvature radius control
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent specifies precise parameter ranges for curvature radii (R1 through R12) and their ratios, along with thickness ratios (d1/TTL, d3/TTL, etc.), providing manufacturing guidance that balances optical performance with manufacturability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The lens system uses multiple lens elements with different refractive indices and Abbe numbers, allowing chromatic aberrations to be corrected through the combined optical properties of different materials rather than relying solely on precise geometric shaping

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Length of moving object

If ultra-thin design is implemented to meet portability requirements, then device thickness is reduced, but optical performance and aberration correction become more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetotal optical lengthVSAvoidoptical characteristics
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs aspheric surfaces on multiple lens elements, allowing the curvature to vary dynamically across the surface rather than maintaining a constant radius, which enables better aberration correction in a compact form factor

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent controls the axial spacing between lens elements (d2, d4, d6, d8, d10) as a critical dimension, using precise spacing to achieve the desired optical path length and aberration correction while minimizing the overall total optical length

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
