DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In order to overcome the problem that there are two or more colors of target images reflected by the lens or lens group or cemented lens into the human eye because the existing sighting device has a wide light-emitting band of the LED chip, and the problem that the light emitted from the lens or the lens group or the cemented lens is too strong, leading to reduced concealment. Specifically, in the past, light was only filtered through the reflective film of the lens, but this filtering method has a problem that the efficiency of entering the human eye after external light passes through the lens is reduced, on the one hand, if the high efficiency of human eyes observing the external light is ensured, it will result in part of the light energy filtered out of the LED will be unclean; on the other hand, if it can ben filtered out, the light passing part will lose color more seriously (the human eye will look blue or red when observing the outside through the lens), and the light passing efficiency will decrease, which will affect the human eye's observation of the outside world.

This embodiment provides a reflective inner red dot sight optical system shown in FIG. 1 that can improve monochromaticity and concealment, which includes an LED chip 1 and a lens 3 for reflecting the light emitted from the LED chip 1 (LED light-emitting chip), a filter 2 plated with a narrow-band interference filter film is provided near the LED chip 1 and located between the LED chip 1 and the lens 3; the narrow-band filter 2 is used to filter out the light of the wider waveband except the center wavelength emitted by the LED chip 1, which improves the monochromaticity of the light waves entering the human eye and weaken the light energy emitted from the lens 3, thereby effectively avoiding being discovered and improving concealment, at the same time, the lens 3 only needs to be plated with a cutoff film for the light passing through the filter 2, so that the cutoff range of the light spectrum that enters the human eye through the lens 3 is small, and there is no obvious color loss, which improves the efficiency of the incident light, and the human eye observation is more comfortable.

The closer the filter is disposed to the LED chip, the greater the light-emitting angle of the light entering the filter, the more wavebands are filtered out, and the narrower the wavebands entering the cemented lens (lens), from the A direction, the human eye sees the light emitted from the LED light-emitting chip is in a narrower band. In this embodiment, the distance between the LED chip 1 and the filter 2 is preferably in the range of 0 to 4 mm, the closer the filter 2 is to the LED light-emitting chip, the better the effect, such as 2 mm, 1.5 mm, 1 mm, or 0.5 mm or 0.2 mm, and even adhere to the surface of the LED chip by optical bonding.

The principle and effect of adding the filter 2 can be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 to 6 in order to understand the design concept and technical solution of this embodiment.

Refer to FIG. 2, this figure shows a graph of a wavelength of the light emitted directly from the LED chip in the related art (without filter), and the light band of the emitted light is 560±80 nm, and FIG. 3 is a graph of the wavelength when the narrow-band interference filter film is plated on the filter, and the transmitted light waveband is 545+8 nm, and the other wavebands cannot be transmitted, and FIG. 4 is a graph showing the wavelength of the superimposed two light waves generated after the filter 2 is disposed near the LED chip, obviously, the wavelength range of the light emitted from the filter 2 is 545±8 nm, this 545±8 nm band will be incident on the cemented lens (lens), the wavelength range of the incident light will be narrowed, and the monochromaticity will be improved and ensured, at the same time, because of the effect of the filter, the light energy of non-central wavelength light incident on the lens is reduced or filtered, thereby reducing the light energy emitted after the lens 3, thereby avoiding being easily discovered by outsiders and improving the concealment of the sight.

Without filter 2, the light of the 560±80 nm wavelength band emitted by the LED chip is incident on the cemented lens (lens), the wavelength range is wider, and the monochromaticity is reduced, since the light energy emitted from the lens is not filtered by more optical components, the spectrum of the emitted light is wider and the energy is stronger, and it is easy to be found by people looking from the direction B shown in FIG. 1, reducing the concealment.

FIG. 5 shows a graph of wavelength of the light passing through the cemented lens, the negative lens is in the cemented lens plated with a narrow-band interference filter film with a center wavelength of 545±15 nm and a long-wavelength cutoff filter film with a wavelength greater than 600 nm.

FIG. 6 shows the superposition of the light emitted from the filter and the light emitted from the lens, it can be seen from this figure that the narrow band of green light of 545±8 nm is reflected by the lens into the human eye, and the human eye only sees a green target image, which improves the monochromaticity. Viewing from the direction B, the light waves in the 560±80 nm wavelength band emitted by the LED are not emitted from the lens, which improves the concealment of the sight.

It should be particularly noted that the wavelength range involved in the present disclosure is not limited to the above example wavelengths, and may also be other wavelengths.

In order to understand the above embodiments more intuitively and better, this embodiment provides two different sights as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. This figures clearly show that the filter 2 is installed near the LED chip 1 or at the light exit hole (see FIG. 9) in the direction of the light path to achieve the first filtering of the wavelength of the light emitted by the LED chip 1, filter out too wide and useless wavelength band light, thereby improving the monochromaticity and light energy control, the light filtered by the filter 2 is incident on the lens 3, and then reflected again and enters the human eye, that is, side A shown in FIG. 1. Due to the double filtering of the filter 2 and the lens 3, the light energy passing through the lens 3 is effectively reduced, thereby avoiding the perception of people at B shown in FIG. 1, thereby enhancing the concealment of the sight.

In order to overcome the problems of complex structure, large weight and volume of the existing multi-beam sights and the cost is high and inportability, this embodiment provides a two-light three-color optical system shown in FIG. 10, which includes a green light chip module 4, a red light chip module 5, and a cube prism 6; the green light chip module 4 and the red light chip module 5 are arranged perpendicular to each other, and they are independent of each other, through controlling the circuit, the emitted green light or red light can be shared, in order to generate the third color light, in this embodiment, the geometric center of the cube prism 6 is arranged at the intersection of the light emitted from the green light chip module 4 and the red light chip module 5, and the diagonal surface 8 of the cube prism 6 extending along the angle bisector of the angle between the light emitted from green light chip module 4 and the red light chip module 5 is plated with a composite film, the composite film is used to totally reflect the emitted red light of the red light chip module 5 and transmit the emitted green light of the green light chip module 4, (It is not difficult to see that the composite film is composed of red light total reflection and green light antireflection film, this is a general existing technology and will not be introduced too much) In this way, it is realized that the emitted light of red light is totally reflected by 90° and is parallel to the emitted light of green light, and all exit from the eyepiece of the sight shown in FIG. 11.

The incident surface C and the exit surface B (the side opposite to the incident surface A is the exit surface B) perpendicular to the emitted red light of the red light chip module 5 are coated with a broadband anti-reflection coating to ensure that the red light and green light are emitted through the cube prism 6 without loss.
