Abstract
The disclosure relates to a viewing optic. In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to a viewing optic having an integrated display system. In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to a viewing optic having an integrated display system for generating images that are projected into the first focal plane of an optical system.
Claims24
A viewing optic comprising:
- (i) a main body with an optical system having a moveable optical element for generating an image of an outward scene, a turret for adjustment of the moveable optical element and a beam combiner and (ii) a base coupled to the main body and having an active display for generating an image and a reflective material for directing the generated image to the beam combiner for simultaneous viewing of the generated image and image of the outward scene in a first focal plane of the optical system, wherein the generated image from the active display is in focus regardless of the turret position.
A viewing optic comprising:
- a main body having (i) an optical system having an objective lens system that focuses a target image from an outward scene to a first focal plane, an erector system that inverts the target image, a second focal plane, and (ii) a beam combiner that is placed between the objective lens system and the first focal plane;
- and
- a base that couples to the main body having (i) an active display that generates an image and a lens system that collects the light from the active display, and (ii) a reflective material that directs the generated image from the active display to the beam combiner, and wherein the generated image from the active display and the target image from the objective lens system are viewed in the first focal plane, and further wherein the generated image from the active display is in focus regardless of adjustment of the erector system.
A viewing optic comprising a main body with an optical system for viewing an outward scene and a base that couples to a bottom portion of the main body, the base having a cavity with an active display for generating an image, wherein the generated image is combined into an image of the outward scene in a first focal plane of the optical system, wherein one end of the base attaches near a magnification adjustment ring of the main body and the other end of the base attaches near the objective assembly of the main body.
