Abstract

A reflex sight is provided, including a first lens module, a first light source, and a second light source. The first light source projects a first reticle image to the first lens module, and the first lens module reflects the first reticle image to a viewer. When the first light source is inactive, the second light source projects a second reticle image to the first lens module, and the first lens module reflects the second reticle image to the viewer.

Claims (12)

1. A reflex sight, comprising:

a first lens module;

a first light source, projecting a first reticle image to the first lens module, wherein the first reticle image is reflected by the first lens module to a viewer;

a second light source, projecting a second reticle image to the first lens module when the first light source is inactive, wherein the second reticle image is reflected by the first lens module to the viewer; and

an optical grating device, blocking light from the second light source when the first light source is active.

2. The reflex sight as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first light source comprises an LED.

3. The reflex sight as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second light source is a fiber optic light source.

4. The reflex sight as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second light source comprises an ambient light collector for receiving ambient light.

5. The reflex sight as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first lens module comprises a dichroic mirror or beam splitter.

6. The reflex sight as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the reflex sight further comprises a second lens module reflecting the first reticle image from the first light source to the first lens module.

7. The reflex sight as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the second lens module comprises a dichroic mirror or beam splitter.

8. The reflex sight as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the optical grating device is disposed between the second light source and the second lens module.
