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.

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.

“Scaling” as a lens design tool
“Scaling’ refers to a method where a known lens design is proportionally enlarged or reduced geometrically to meet a different image size requirement.
