`• Stated mo#va#on – to reduce vigne=ng – fails
`• Only change was to make L2 image side surface convex, BUT
`• Whether lens is convex or concave does not affect vigne+ng
`• Vigne+ng is due to aspherics at edge of lens, not meniscus or biconcave shape
`• No evidence POSITA would associate vigne+ng with meniscus shape

`IX. OBVIOUSNESS OF CHALLENGED CLAIMS 4 AND 6-12
`
`A. GROUND 2 - The Petition Fails to Demonstrate that Ogino in
`view of Chen II renders claims 1 and 4 unpatentable.
`
`1.
`Claim 1 and 4
`Pe$$oner’s Mo$va$on Fails Because Nothing Ties Meniscus Lens to
`87. Dr. Sasián describes Chen II as “showing the benefits of the L2 lens
`VigneNng
`being meniscus shape as it provides less vignetting.” (Ex. 1003, Sasián Decl.,
`
`¶46). However, Chen II does not discuss vignetting, nor does it discuss the
`
`advantages of L2 being meniscus with respect to vignetting. The fact that the
`
`front surface of L2 of Example 1 in Chen II is convex with respect to the
`
`object has nothing to do with vignetting. The vignetting in this lens is deter-
`
`mined far away from the center of the lens, near the edge of the L2, as shown
`
`by the arrow from the ‘No Vignetting’ box in the figure in Par 52 of Ex. 1003,
`
`which is reproduced below. The shape of the front surface of L2 in this region
`
`is determined by the strong aspheric coefficients along with the base radius,
`Ex. 2001, ¶ 87.
`while the surface shape in the center of the lens is determined by the radius.

`
`
`VigneNng Has Nothing to Do With L2 Being Convex in Chen II (Ex. 1008)
`
`Case No. IPR2020-00896
`U.S. Patent No. 10,317,647
`
`• Vigne<ng occurs at the
`edges of the lens
`Shape at the radius has no
`effect on vigne<ng
`
`•
`
`
`
`Ex. 2001, p. 46.
`It is the sign of the radius of the front surface that determines if the
`
`surface is concave (- sign) or convex (+ sign) toward the object side. Ex.
`IPR2020-00896 | SLIDE 24
`
`2001, Milster Decl., ¶88. In Chen II, the fact that the front surface is convex
`
`toward the object side (+ sign) has nothing to do with vignetting, because ei-
`
`ther a plus (+) sign or a minus (-) sign can produce effectively the same result.
`
`The aspheric coefficients can be adjusted in either case to provide no vignet-
`
`
`
`two lenses of Ogino Example 5 (second lens concave object side) and
`
`Ogino/Chen Example 5 (second lens convex object side) (Ex. 1003, Sasián

`Reasons to combine Ogino and Bareau
`
`A POSITA would have found it obvious to modify Ogino’s Example 5 lens
`
`assembly based on Bareau’s specifications for cell phone camera lenses desiring an
`
`F#=2.8 or less for ¼” and smaller pixel image sensors. APPL-1003, ¶74. Such a
`
`combination would have been nothing more than applying Bareau’s specification
`
`for a bright lens system, according to known lens design and modification methods
`
`(as taught in APPL-1017, p.172), to yield a predictable result of Ogino’s Example
`
`5 lens assembly likewise supporting an f-number of 2.8 or lower for a ¼” sensor
`
`format. APPL-1003, ¶74; see id., pp.3-4. A POSITA would have found it obvious
`
`to lower the f-number of Example 5 whether original or modified with a meniscus
`Pet. at p. 47.
`
`L2 lens for the same reasons discussed below. APPL-1003, ¶74. This is shown in

`If we were able to simply scale the 35 mm lens design by 1/10x, we would encounter a few issues:
`
`1) Smaller entrance pupil: Depth of field will be much greater, but diffraction will limit performance sooner than with
`larger formats.
`
`2) Surface figure tolerances: Figure tolerances (fringes of irregularity, for example) will be somewhat tighter, because
`spatial frequencies of interest are higher, but because the surfaces are smaller, they will be easier to achieve in practice.
`3) Geometric tolerances: Scaling the system’s size requires linear tolerances to scale as well. So center thickness

`The scale of cell phone camera systems creates particular challenges for the lens designer that are unique to this format.
`Fig.8: Relative Illumination and Cos^4 as a Function of Field Angle
`
`Both the size and the low-cost requirements have many implications for the design, fabrication and assembly processes.
`Ex. 1012 - Bareau at 3.
`
`FOV - The field of view for these systems is typically 60 to 66 degrees across the sensor diagonal, but the design must

`50% at the edge of the field. This corresponds roughly to cos^4, so there is rarely enough corner illumination to allow
`
`vignetting for aberration control. If relative illumination meets the requirements, the final image is corrected
`Image Circle - This is the diameter of the image over which the lens has to be well corrected to allow for lateral

`displacement of the sensor relative to the optical axis. Lens to sensor centration errors are caused mostly by uncertainty
`a slight decenter of the sensor relative to the optical axis will cause one corner of an image to appear noticeably dark.
`in the placement of the sensor on its circuit board. To allow for those errors, the lens image circle is increased by at least
`0.2 mm. As sensors get smaller sensor placement accuracy must improve.

`Each additional element adds tolerances that will degrade the as-built performance. But each element also adds
`
`variables that can be used to increase nominal performance while meeting system and manufacturing constraints.

`Fig.1: This 3.6um pixel VGA camera module is 6.05 x 6.05 x 4.5 mm.
`The most critical dimension is the 4.5 mm axial length.

`
`For those of us who have been involved in the design and manufacturing of consumer and commercial imaging systems
`using lens elements with diameters in the 12-40mm range, the switch to much smaller elements with diameters in the 3-
`5mm range takes some adjustment. When designing a camera module lens, it is not always helpful to begin with a
`traditional larger-scale imaging lens. Scaling down such a lens will result in a system that is unmanufacturable. If the
`design includes molded plastic optics, a scaled down system will result in element edge thicknesses shrinking to the

`accumulates at the end of the screw it is injected at an appropriate speed and pressure into the mold. This causes the
`material to flow into the mold to fill the cavities. The molding machine provides complete control over this process,
`governing the size of the shot, injection speed, injection pressure, backpressure, cushion, and other critical variables that
`will determine the final outcome of the optic. After an appropriate cooling time, the moveable platen moves away from
`the fixed platen, and the mold opens. This allows the optics (still attached to the runner system) to be removed. After
`the shot is removed, the cycle starts over again.

`Other equipment is often found along side the molding machine. For parts that require a large amount of material, auto
`loading hoppers are used to feed material into the machine. Also, the thermoplastics must be dried before being fed into
`the injection unit. It is common to see desiccating equipment located near the press for this purpose. Once the molding
`cycle is completed it is desirable to promptly remove the shot so that the entire molding process may be repeated with
`regularity. To aide in this, a robotic arm is frequently used to ensure that the removal is done on time. This enables the
`entire process to go into a steady state. Depending on the nature of the program, additional automation or end of
