The current trend that calls for miniaturization of the optical components used in digital and cellular phone cameras will continue to play an important role. Aspherical lenses are taking on greater importance because a single asphere can be used to replace several spherical lenses and, thus, reduce the overall size and weight of the optics. At the same time, aspheres allow for an improved image quality and a higher resolution of the phone camera system.
