Automotive ADAS Lens Portfolio

The forward-facing automotive camera is a rapidly developing application.  The first systems were relegated to simple functions such as intelligent headlamp control (IHC), lane departure warning (LDW), or rain-sensing.  Succeeding generations of forward-facing cameras incorporate multiple advanced functions such as adaptive cruise control (ACC), forward collision warning (FCW), traffic sign recognition (TSR), pedestrian detection, obstacle detection, and night vision.

These demanding applications require spiraling improvements in image processing, sensors, and lenses. Sunex is at the forefront of lens technology for forward-facing camera systems.  A typical optical performance requires high resolution, low F-number, low distortion, and minimal package size.  In addition, with the use of high- or wide dynamic range (HDR or WDR) sensors, special attention must be paid to veiling glare and stray light effects.

Key Technologies

Industry-leading 8MP Designs
We are leveraging best-in-class design expertise and are constantly driving process improvements and manufacturing innovation for our global customer base to push the boundaries of what is possible. Our optical and mechanical engineering teams apply their proven engineering know-how to create new products and novel solutions to support your project goals. From Design To Cost (DTC), Design for Manufacturing (DFM), and Design for Reliability (DFR), we always have the full product development cycle and your specific business case in mind.

Multiple HFOVs and Fovea Distortion
In automotive Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), FOVEA distortion lens designs play a crucial role in enhancing safety and precision. These specialized lenses are engineered to minimize image distortion and optimize visual clarity across varying fields of view, essential for applications like lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and pedestrian detection. By maintaining accurate imaging and minimizing aberrations, FOVEA lenses ensure that critical data captured by ADAS camera

Advanced Mechanical Designs
Sunex’s renowned excellence in Optical Design is complemented by its extensive experience in optomechanical design. From m12 threaded aluminum barrels, to barrels with glue flange for active alignment, to the more advanced solutions featuring aluminum or plastic unibodies. We always see the optical path as one component of a larger system that, together, needs to be optimized.

Reliability and Environmental Testing
Often, it is not the challenge to create a design “that works” but to find a solution that can scale to mass production (DFM), meets required price targets (DTC), and delivers on performance and quality (DFR). Our deep design and manufacturing experience comes from servicing some of the most demanding markets and applications, and combined with consistent quality and global on-time delivery, Sunex is the preferred partner for many.
