Plastic Aspheric Lenses for Vitual Reality Head Sets

14 Jun 2017

Knight Optical offer a range of Stock Plastic Aspheric Lenses for use within Virtual Reality Head Sets.

Plastic Aspheric Lenses are relatively cheap as they are mass produced, moulded or pressed, plastic. The surface quality of plastic aspheric lenses is worse than most conventionally polished lenses. However the surface departs from the traditional spherical shape which controls some of the aberrations. These aspheric lenses are extremely effective at focusing point sources such as low powered laser beams and LED light sources.

Virtuality Reality headsets which are typically know as HMDs (head mounted displays) consist of a pair of lenses which typically forms an image directly into the eyes of the wearer. The lenses shape and focus the picture for each eye thus creating a stereoscopic 3D image.

Knight Optical can supply competitive quotes on plastic lenses with low cost tooling for low quality though to high quality production runs by utilising single and multi-cavity tooling to suite your application, please enquire. We also have the facility to offer low run CNC manufacturing for small quality designs.
