Chapter 772: Next-Generation Lens Technology

Seeing Wu Hao's arrival, everyone who was busy greeted him one after another. When the two young people who were leaning over to work saw him, they immediately greeted him: "Mr. Wu." ”

Peng Fei, Zihua, I heard that your project has made progress. Wu Hao asked with a smile.

These two young people are about 30 years old, both are PhDs in optical technology, both graduated from famous domestic science and engineering colleges, and both are engaged in the field of optical technology research.

Sun Pengfei, who is shorter among them, also worked for a short time in the optical research of a well-known camera company in the country, but because he couldn't accept his special corporate culture, he finally chose to resign.

Yao Zihua, on the other hand, has been engaged in research work in technical theory at the school, and after refusing the invitation to stay at the school to teach, he joined the company and was jointly responsible for the research work of the optical imaging technology laboratory with Sun Pengfei.

In terms of optical imaging technology research, or cameras, there are too many famous companies in the world, such as Laika, Suha, Olin Bas, Binde, which are well known through mobile phone photography technology, as well as Jia Neng, Soni, Nikang, Fushi and so on.

These companies produce not only cameras, but also a wide variety of lenses, as well as cameras and other photosensitive components.

These cameras, lenses, and photosensitive components are also used in a wide range of fields, from remote sensing satellites in the sky, to various cameras, surveillance cameras, and cameras that we all use, as well as various digital products and camera technology in our mobile phones, etc., all come from these companies.

Although our country has achieved good technical research results in various fields, it is seriously lagging behind the world powers in optical imaging technology.

Today's optical imaging technology has also become one of the important areas in which the West has blockaded us, and we are still strictly restricted. The technical knowledge we can use, the civilian technology in the ordinary market, and some high-end optical imaging technology and equipment products are strictly limited to us.

Of course, under such a strict blockade, we have also achieved good results in this field, such as lenses, our domestic lens manufacturers, the grinding of high-precision lenses has reached the international leading level, and is widely used in all kinds of products of these famous camera companies.

It seems that this market is very prosperous, but in fact, this is just the benefit of mobile devices, especially mobile phone digital products.

Traditional camera products are being squeezed by these new products, such as smartphones, tablets, webcams, and Wu Hao's smart AR glasses, and their living space is getting smaller and smaller.

In fact, camera technology has not made a big change for many years, and the current camera technology is similar to the lawsuit a few decades ago, but with the progress of science and technology, it has also been iteratively upgraded, and the technology is still the original technology.

Take the most important lens of a camera, what is the difference between the latest lens now and the lens of decades or even hundreds of years ago? It's just that the workmanship is better and more lenses are used.

In order to pursue higher shooting quality, major mobile phone manufacturers can be said to rack their brains to continuously improve the camera technology of mobile phones.

The development of mobile phone lenses also began, and constantly gave birth to new products and technologies, even the pixels of these mobile phone cameras, from the initial hundreds of thousands of pixels to millions of pixels, to today's hundreds of millions of pixels.

However, the photos taken are still like that, and they can't be compared with a single reflex of one or two hundred million.

Why can SLR have such a good imaging effect, this is mainly the lens, which is the biggest feature that distinguishes it from general digital cameras. The digital camera, which used to be very popular, has gradually died out under the huge wave of smartphones, but the SLR is still strong and is the threshold of professional photography.

It's like if you don't have a DSLR, you're embarrassed to tell people that you're a professional photographer.

In order to pursue higher shooting quality, or to catch up with SLR, smartphones have also made a lot of efforts over the years, and one of the biggest breakthroughs or phenomena is that there are more lenses on mobile phones.

One doesn't work, two doesn't work, two doesn't work four, and there are even mobile phones with five cameras and six cameras. In line with the principle that I have more lenses than yours, so it's better to take pictures than you, crazy to add cameras to it. Some companies have even added some low-end cameras to make up the numbers.

What ultra-wide-angle, ultra-telephoto, macro, depth of field, black and white, etc., is to show their own lenses.

If it weren't for Wu Hao's strong debut of their smart AR glasses, I'm afraid this smartphone would still be rushing to ten cameras. In fact, some mobile phones have already reached, double selfies on the front, six cameras on the back, which is already eight shots.

Everyone is now releasing smart AR glasses, but smartphones are not extinct, and there are still some new mobile phone routes being released.

In fact, even big manufacturers such as H Wei and Blue-Green Factory have not given up the research and development of mobile phones while developing AR glasses.

Now the blue-green factory and H Wei are staring at Wu Hao's mobile phone transparent screen, hoping that this transparent screen can be successfully applied to the mobile phone.

It's just that the current output of this transparent screen is relatively low, and it can only supply Wu Hao's demand for transparent tablets, so he did not agree to the other party's request for the time being.

It seems that now the lens technology has stagnated, and there are only a few items in how to transform, and what the major lens manufacturers are doing now is nothing more than brushing data, and there are not many real new technologies, or even none.

Even a few years ago, H was the first to use the latest periscope telephoto lens technology on his mobile phone, in fact, it is also a very early technology, this technology can be traced back to World War I and World War II, from the periscope observation scope used on the battlefield to observe the battlefield environment in the trench.

Later, this technology was also used on submarines, which is a very representative periscope on submarines.

The innovation of H is that it uses this technology to successfully realize the ultra-telephoto function of the thin and light mobile phone.

Other than that, there seems to be nothing more. In recent years, mobile phone manufacturers or lens manufacturers have not competed with mobile phone pixels, which are actually in terms of photosensitive components.

Therefore, countless optical technology researchers are thinking about what the next generation of lens technology will be and what kind of changes will occur in lens technology.

Everyone is thinking about it, and they are constantly exploring, although some theories and views have been put forward one after another, but until today, there is no unified consensus.
