We explored a method to evaluate imaging performance for the optimal assembly of an endoscopic miniature lens and a sensor constituting an imaging module at the distal end of gastrointestinal endoscopy. For the assembly of the imaging module, the image sensor was precisely located at the focal plane when collimated light passed through the endoscopic lens. As another method, the distance between the lens and sensor was adjusted to obtain the highest focus index from images measured the star chart of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard at various positions. We analyzed the slanted-edge modulation transfer function (MTF), corresponding depth of field, and number of line pairs for MTF 50% and 20% at each working distance within the range of 5-100 mm for imaging modules assembled in different ways. Assembly conditions of the imaging module with better MTF performance were defined for each working distance range of 5-30 mm and 30-100 mm, respectively. In addition to the MTF performance, the focus index of each assembled module was also compared. In summary, we examined the performance of imaging modules assembled with different methods within the suggested working distance and tried to establish the optimal assembly protocol.

When a manufacturing system is designed, various kinds of evaluation methods are used for selecting the best alternative. Net present value, inner rate of return and payback period are popular quantitative measures for the economic assessment, but other qualitative measures should be considered for evaluation. The analytic hierarchy process(AHP) has been used as the popular method for the multi criteria decision making problem that considers both quantitative and qualitative criteria. This paper explains the process of economic assessment, and how to use the AHP for evaluating the designs of the assembly lines for lens module installed in mobile phone.

This study proposed an auto focusing method for a multi-focus image in assembling lens modules in digital camera phones. A camera module in a camera phone is composed of a lens barrel, an IR glass, a lens mount, a PCB board and aspheric lenses. Alignment among the components is one of the important factors in product quality. Auto-focus is essential to adjust image quality of an IR glass in a lens holder, but there are two focal points in the captured image due to thickness of IR glass. So, sharpness, probability and a scale factor are defined to find desired focus from a multi-focus image. The sharpness is defined as clarity of an image. Probability and a scale factors are calculated using pattern matching with a registered image. The presented algorithm was applied to a lens assembly machine which has 5 axes, two vacuum chucks and an inspection system. The desired focus can be determined on the local maximum of the sharpness, the probability and the scale factor in the experiment.

The tiny camera module used in a modern cellular phone requires precise assembly processes. To meet the requirement of high resolution and functionality, the number of parts used in a camera module becomes larger and larger. As the market grows rapidly, an automatic camera phone assembly process is required. However, diverse production line and short life cycle make it difficult to build an affordable assembly line. To attack this problem, a flexible and expandable lens assembly system is proposed. To save the manufacturing line set-up time, modular concept is adopted. Also, each module is designed to have intelligence to simplify the set-up process. The assembly system is built up on the standard flat-form that includes a vibration free base, air and electric supplies, and electronic controllers, etc. Furthermore, the assembly cell has the capability of handling tiny, thin, or transparent parts which are very difficult to identify without machine vision.

최근 렌즈 가공 및 측정 기술의 발전에 따라 렌즈의 제작 조립 기술이 개선되었다. 그럼에도 불구하고 렌즈 제작 조립 기술의 상향에 따른 비용 및 제작 기간의 증가, 온도 및 진동 등의 사용 환경 의존도를 해결하지 못해 이에 따른 불안정해지는 성능 등을 극복하지 못하였다. 또한, 초정밀 광학계에서 효과적으로 민감도를 줄이는 방법은 다수의 보상자를 이용하는 방법인데, 특히 내시경 같은 초소형 렌즈의 경우 렌즈 경통 크기 제약으로 인하여 상거리 보상자 이외 추가적인 보상자 사용에 어려움이 있다. 따라서 렌즈 설계에 있어 공차에 대한 렌즈의 민감도를 최소화하는 것은 무엇보다도 중요한 기술인 바 이를 위한 노력이 필요하며, 렌즈 설계 소프트웨어에서도 민감도를 줄일 수 있는 기능들이 추가되는 추세이다. 본 논문에서는 우선 성능이 최적화된 설계를 도출하고, 이 설계의 민감도를 분석하여 민감도가 높은 요소들을 다중 구성(multi-configuration)에 적용한 뒤 다시 최적화함으로써 렌즈 민감도를 최소화하였으며 사례를 들어 다중 구성 방법이 민감도 저감에 매우 효과적임을 보여주었다.

Development of die technology for holder and barrel dies is necessary according to minimization of lens assembly, image sensor, and connectors. In these cases, there are two technical problems arising from die design. One is determination of knock-out pin location in die set. Minimization of lens assembly size make it difficult to obtain ejecting space. The other is whether or not high-precision die technology is possible to reduce torque variation when holer and barrel products is assembled. In this study, multi-cavity die set was developed taking advantage of gear-driven ejecting method. In the developed technology, die manufacturing technology was guaranteed with a high-precision level.

Despite of outstanding optical performance of glass lens, glass lens have not been widely used because of poor productivity and high cost due to manufacturing process i.e. grinding, polishing. However, press-forming method of glass lens overcomes this disadvantage because of mass production. When glass lens is produced by press-forming method using closed die, it is needed that the volume of glass lens preform precisely measured in order to prevent incomplete products and to increase in life of die. The present paper shows the shortcoming of forming process with closed die, and performs FEM simulation of forming process with open die in order to overcome this shortcoming. The design parameter of open die is selected in standard of assembly with optical module and maintenance of optical performance. FEM simulation is carried out with selected parameter of open die and two basic preform. According to distribution of effective strain in glass lens, optical property of glass lens formed at each set of die and preform is compared.
