Abstract
A micro-optics system for non-rotational scanning includes a plurality of micro-optical elements having different inclination patterns. The different inclination patterns are implemented such that a plurality of light rays incident from a light source are increasingly refracted by 1 degree in an outward direction from a center of the plurality of micro-optical elements.

A micro-optics system for non-rotational scanning, the micro-optics system comprising a plurality of micro-optical elements having different inclination patterns,
- wherein the different inclination patterns are implemented such that a plurality of light rays incident from a light source are increasingly refracted by 1 degree in an outward direction from a center of the plurality of micro-optical elements,
- wherein the plurality of micro-optical elements comprise a first micro-optical element, a second micro-optical element, and a third micro-optical element,
- the first micro-optical element comprises:
- a first surface which is flat;
- and
- a second surface which includes a first region, a second region, and a third region arranged with respect to the center, and
- each of the first region, the second region, and the third region includes a first inclination pattern implemented such that the plurality of light rays are increasingly refracted in a range of 1 to 15 degrees from the center.
A micro-optics system for non-rotational scanning, the micro-optics system comprising a plurality of micro-optical elements having different inclination patterns, wherein
- the plurality of micro-optical elements are classified into three zones,
- a first zone among the three zones includes a first micro-optical element that is included in the plurality of micro-optical elements and that includes a first inclination pattern such that a plurality of light rays incident from a light source are refracted in a range of 1 to 15 degrees from a center,
- a second zone among the three zones includes a second micro-optical element that is included in the plurality of micro-optical elements and that includes a second inclination pattern such that the plurality of incident light rays are refracted in a range of 16 to 30 degrees from the center, and
- a third zone among the three zones includes a third micro-optical element that is included in the plurality of micro-optical elements and that includes a third inclination pattern such that the plurality of incident light rays are refracted in a range of 31 to 45 degrees from the center.
A micro-optics system for non-rotational scanning, the micro-optics system comprising:
- a first micro-optical element including a first surface and a second surface;
- a second micro-optical element including a third surface and a fourth surface;
- and
- a third micro-optical element including a fifth surface and a sixth surface,
- wherein
- the first surface is flat,
- the second surface includes a first region, a second region, and a third region arranged with respect to a center,
- each of the first region, the second region, and the third region includes a first inclination pattern implemented such that a plurality of light rays incident from a light source are refracted in a range of 1 to 15 degrees in an outward direction from the center,
- light incident from the center is not refracted,
- the third surface includes a fourth region, a fifth region, and a sixth region that face the first region, the second region, and the third region, respectively,
- the fourth region is flat,
- each of the fifth region and the sixth region includes a second inclination pattern implemented such that the light refracted through the second region and the third region is refracted in a range of 16 to 30 degrees,
- the fifth surface includes a seventh region, an eighth region, and a ninth region that correspond to the fourth region, the fifth region, and the sixth region, respectively,
- the seventh region is flat,
- the eighth region and the ninth region include an inclination pattern, and
- the fifth surface includes a third inclination pattern implemented such that the light refracted through the sixth region is refracted in a range of 31 to 45 degrees.
