[0002] With the continuous development of intelligent and safe driving of automobiles, the requirements for on-board monitoring imaging lenses are constantly increasing. Under the premise of maintaining the lens's high detail resolution ability in a small field of view and the lens being short and lightweight, the requirements for the lens's environmental stability and the restoration of monitoring facts, stray light, ghosting and other factors are getting higher and higher. Although there are low-cost glass-plastic hybrid structures among the only small-field-of-view monitoring lenses currently available, for driver status monitoring lenses with strict environmental performance requirements, full-glass structures with small distortion and good environmental stability are still the preferred choice for on-board monitoring lenses. However, existing optical lenses cannot meet the above requirements for the time being. Summary of the invention
