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.
Claims16
A viewing optic comprising:
- (i) a main body with an optical system having a moveable optical element for viewing an image of an outward scene, a beam combiner located between an objective assembly of the main body and a first focal plane, a turret for adjustment of the moveable optical element and (ii) a base coupled to the main body and having an active display configured to generate a digital aim point that is viewed in a first focal plane of the optical system, wherein the digital aim point is unaffected by adjustment of the turret.
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, and (ii) a beam combiner 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 configured to generate a digital aim point and a lens system configured to collect light from the active display, and (ii) a reflective material configured to direct the digital aim point from the active display to the beam combiner, wherein the digital aim point from the active display and the target image from the objective lens system are viewed in the first focal plane, and further wherein the digital aim point from the active display is unaffected by adjustment of the erector system.
A viewing optic comprising a main body with an optical system for viewing a target image from an outward scene, an erector system that inverts the target image, a beam combiner located between an objective assembly of the main body and a first focal plane and a base that couples to the main body, the base having an active display configured to generate a digital aim point, wherein the digital aim point is combined into the target image of the outward scene in a first focal plane of the optical system, and further wherein the digital aim point is unaffected by adjustment of the erector system.
