Description
特許文献１及び２には、屈折率分布型レンズを用いることは記載されていない。特許文献３～５に記載の屈折率分布型レンズは大きな開口角を有している。このことは、屈折率分布型レンズにおいて大きな被写界深度を実現する観点から有利とは言い難く、特許文献３～５に記載の屈折率分布型レンズの被写界深度は小さいと考えられる。屈折率分布型レンズの被写界深度が小さいと、例えば、対象物の厚みにばらつきがある場合に対象物において焦点が合う部分と焦点が合わない部分とが発生しうる。 Patent Documents 1 and 2 do not describe the use of a refractive index distribution type lens. The refractive index distribution type lenses described in Patent Documents 3 to 5 have a large aperture angle. This cannot be said to be advantageous from the viewpoint of realizing a large depth of field in the refractive index distribution type lens, and it is considered that the depth of field of the refractive index distribution type lens described in Patent Documents 3 to 5 is small. When the depth of field of the refractive index distribution type lens is small, for example, when the thickness of the object varies, a portion of the object that is in focus and a portion that is out of focus may occur.
このような事情に鑑み、本発明は、対象物の厚みにばらつきがある場合でも対象物において焦点が合う部分と焦点が合わない部分とが発生しにくい、屈折率分布型レンズを提供する。 In view of such circumstances, the present invention provides a refractive index distribution type lens in which a focused portion and an out-of-focus portion are less likely to occur in an object even if the thickness of the object varies.
