First Claim
Patent Images
1. A lens system comprising:
- a diffractive optical power region comprising a plurality of concentric diffractive structures, wherein a greater fraction of light incident on a diffractive structure near the center point of the concentric diffractive structures contributes to the optical power of the diffractive optical power region than light incident on a diffractive structure peripherally spaced therefrom, wherein the diffractive optical power region is cropped so as to include at least one discontinuous diffractive structure and at least one diffractive structure with a complete closed curve.

Abstract
A lens system is presented having a diffractive optical power region. The diffractive optical power region has a plurality of concentric surface relief diffractive structures. A greater portion of light incident on a diffractive structure near the center point contributes to the optical power than light incident on a diffractive structure peripherally spaced therefrom.
