Abstract

The disclosure relates to a viewing optic comprising: a body (210) having an ocular lens system (360) and an objective lens system (310) that focuses a target image from an outward scene to a first focal plane having a first reticle (not shown); an erector lens system (330), wherein the first focal plane is located between the objective lens system (310) and the erector lens system (330); a beam combiner (320) that is placed between the objective lens system (310) and the first focal plane; a turret (12) for adjustment of the erector lens system (330); and a base (220) that couples to a bottom portion of the body (210) having an active display (1210) that generates an image and a collector lens system (1220) that collects the light from the active display (1210). The collector lens system (1220) is located between the active display (1210) and a reflective material (1230). The reflective material (1230) is configured to direct the generated image from the active display (1210) to the beam combiner (320) where the image from the active display (1210) and the target image from the objective lens system (310)are combined into the first focal plane, and further wherein the generated image is unaffected by adjustment of the turret (12). Conventional scopes combine the display image into a second focal plane in the optic system. The current invention combines the display image into the same focal plane as the reticle, which allows for magnification adjustment with a single magnification setting.

Claims (8)

CLAIMS :
1. A viewing optic comprising: a body having an ocular lens system and an objective lens system that focuses a target image from an outward scene to a first focal plane having a first reticle; an erector lens system, wherein the first focal plane is located between the objective lens system and the erector lens system; a beam combiner that is placed between the objective lens system and the first focal plane; a turret for adjustment of the erector lens system; and a base that couples to a bottom portion of the body having an active display that generates an image and a collector lens system that collects the light from the active display, the collector lens system located between the active display and a reflective material, the reflective material configured to direct the generated image from the active display to the beam combiner where the image from the active display and the target image from the objective lens system are combined into the first focal plane, and further wherein the generated image is unaffected by adjustment of the turret.
2. The viewing optic of Claim 1, wherein one end of the base attaches near a magnification adjustment ring of the body and the other end of the base attaches near the objective lens system of the body.
3. The viewing optic of Claim 1, wherein the base is from 40% to 65% the length of the body.
4. The viewing optic of Claim 1, wherein the collector lens system is a five lens system.
5. The viewing optic of Claim 4, wherein the first lens of the five lens system is located within 2 mm of the active display.
6. The viewing optic of Claim 1, wherein the active display is selected from the group consisting of: a transmissive active matrix LCD display (AMLCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display, a Light-Emitting Diode (LED) display, an e-ink display, a plasma display, a segment display, an electroluminescent display, a surface-conduction electron- emitter display, and a quantum dot display.
7. The viewing optic of Claim 1, wherein the image generated by the active display is selected from the group consisting of: text, alpha-numerics, graphics, symbols, video imagery, icons, active target reticles, range measurements, wind information, GPS and compass information, firearm inclination information, target finding, recognition and identification (ID) information, external sensor information, temperature, pressure, humidity, real time ballistic solutions, and next round ballistic correction through in-flight tracer round detection and tracking.
8. The viewing optic of Claim 1, wherein the beam combiner is located from 5 to 25 mm from the objective lens system.
