OPTICAL EXPOSURE SYSTEM

Optical exposure systems incorporated into printers, scanners, and MFPs (multifunctional peripherals). By adopting plastic lenses, Konica Minolta has succeeded in unifying optical exposure unit which had been composed of numerous glass lenses. In consequence, products became compact while maintaining high quality. The resulting products have contributed to more effective utilization of limited office space.

By replacing the conventional refractive plane with combinations of a reflection plane and a diffraction plane, adverse effects due to temperature variation are minimized, whereby image quality is further enforced.

PICKUP LENSES

Utmost reliability is must for pickup lenses used in CD, DVD, and MD. Konica Minolta's reliable aspherical plastic lenses for optical disks are highly accepted, and have secured extremely high worldwide market share.

Double-sided aspherical plastic lenses have been developed through fusing ultra-high precision technologies at nanometer level. The lenses not only meet the needs of various applications, but also meet such requirements as heat resistance, moisture resistance, lower birefringence, multimedia and multi-wavelength.

Furthermore, development and production of glass-mould lenses for the next generation DVDs are also underway.

OPTICS FOR DIGITAL PROJECTORS

Digital projectors have received attention for their broad applications such as presentations at business meetings, and digital broadcasting, home theater for viewing video and DVD, and large screen TVs at home. Konica Minolta is infinitely pursuing and providing higher luminance, higher contrast, and higher resolution by adopting advanced opt-mechanical technologies such as advanced optical design, aspherical lens molding, and highly functional thin film.

Konica Minolta offers highly value-added optics for digital projectors which meet various needs such as to improve brightness and contrast through low distortion, low color aberration and high MTF lenses.
