[0002] This invention relates to an optical lens assembly for image acquisition, and more particularly to an optical lens assembly for image acquisition that can simultaneously meet the requirements of large photosensitive elements, miniaturization, and high imaging quality. Background Technology

[0003] With advancements in semiconductor technology, the performance of electronic image sensors has improved, and pixels can be made smaller. As a result, optical lenses with high image quality have become an indispensable component.

[0004] As technology advances rapidly, electronic devices equipped with optical lenses are being used in a wider range of applications, leading to more diverse requirements for these lenses. Because traditional optical lenses often struggle to balance requirements such as image quality, sensitivity, aperture size, size, and viewing angle, this invention provides an optical lens that meets these needs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides an optical lens assembly for image acquisition. The optical lens assembly comprises nine lenses sequentially from the object side to the image side along the optical path. Under certain conditions, the optical lens assembly for image acquisition provided by this invention can simultaneously meet the requirements of a large image sensor, miniaturization, and high image quality.

[0006] This invention provides an optical lens assembly for image acquisition, comprising nine lenses. The nine lenses, arranged sequentially from the object side to the image side along the optical path, are a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, a seventh lens, an eighth lens, and a ninth lens. Each of the nine lenses has an object-side surface facing the object side and an image-side surface facing the image side. The total number of lenses in the optical lens assembly is nine. The first lens has positive refractive power. The second lens has negative refractive power. The image-side surface of the ninth lens is concave near the optical axis and has at least one inflection point. The radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the ninth lens is R17, the radius of curvature of the image-side surface of the ninth lens is R18, the distance from the object-side surface of the first lens to the imaging plane on the optical axis is TL, the maximum imaging height of the imaging optical lens group is ImgH, the focal length of the imaging optical lens group is f, the entrance pupil diameter of the imaging optical lens group is EPD, the sum of the optical axis spacing between all adjacent lenses in the imaging optical lens group is ΣAT, the optical axis spacing between the second and third lenses is T23, and the optical axis spacing between the eighth and ninth lenses is T89. These conditions must be met.

[0007] -0.90 < (R17 + R18) / (R17 - R18) < 2.50;

[0008] 0.50 < TL / ImgH < 1.55;

[0009] 0.80 < f / EPD ≤ 1.89; and

[0010] 1.20 < ΣAT / (T23 + T89) ≤ 1.94.

[0011] The present invention further provides an imaging optical lens group, including nine lenses. The nine lenses are, in order from the object side to the image side along the optical path, the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, the fifth lens, the sixth lens, the seventh lens, the eighth lens, and the ninth lens. The nine lenses respectively have an object-side surface facing the object side and an image-side surface facing the image side. The total number of lenses in the imaging optical lens group is nine. The first lens has a positive refractive power. The second lens has a negative refractive power. The image-side surface of the ninth lens is concave near the optical axis, and the image-side surface of the ninth lens has at least one inflection point. The radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the ninth lens is R17, the radius of curvature of the image-side surface of the ninth lens is R18, the distance from the object-side surface of the first lens to the imaging surface on the optical axis is TL, the maximum imaging height of the imaging optical lens group is ImgH, the focal length of the imaging optical lens group is f, the entrance pupil diameter of the imaging optical lens group is EPD, and the maximum refractive index among all the lenses of the imaging optical lens group is Nmax, which satisfies the following conditions:

[0012] -0.90 < (R17 + R18) / (R17 - R18) < 2.50;

[0013] 0.50 < TL / ImgH < 1.55;

[0014] 0.80 < f / EPD ≤ 1.89; and

[0015] 1.67 < Nmax < 1.78.

[0016] When (R17 + R18) / (R17 - R18) satisfies the above conditions, it helps to adjust the surface shape of the ninth lens to enhance the light control ability of the image-side surface of the ninth lens and improve the image quality.

[0017] When TL / ImgH satisfies the above conditions, it can ensure a sufficient light-receiving area while compressing the total length to avoid vignetting at the periphery of the image.

[0018] When f / EPD satisfies the above conditions, it can effectively control the entrance aperture and the amount of incident light of the imaging optical lens group to improve the image brightness.

[0019] When ΣAT / (T23+T89) meets the above conditions, the spatial configuration can be adjusted to achieve a balance between the volume of the imaging optical lens group and the assembly yield.

[0020] When Nmax meets the above conditions, the manufacturing difficulty of the lens can be reduced, thereby increasing the possibility of commercializing the optical lens assembly for image capture.

[0119] The imaging optical lens assembly may comprise three lens groups, which are arranged sequentially from the object side to the image side along the optical path as a first lens group, a second lens group, and a third lens group. The first lens group may comprise at least two lenses, the second lens group may comprise at least three lenses, and the third lens group may comprise at least three lenses. All lenses in the imaging optical lens assembly have an object-side surface facing the object side and an image-side surface facing the image side.

[0120] At least four lenses in the imaging optical lens group can be made of plastic; this effectively reduces production costs and increases manufacturing speed, thereby increasing the possibility of mass production and enhancing design freedom, which is beneficial for optimizing off-axis aberrations. All lenses in the third lens group can be made of plastic. Half of the maximum angle of view in the imaging optical lens group can be greater than 35 degrees; this meets the needs of general users and increases market acceptance.

[0121] In the first lens group, at least two lenses may each have a convex object-side surface near the optical axis and a concave image-side surface near the optical axis. This helps to improve coma and astigmatism.

[0122] In the second lens group, at least one lens may have at least one aspherical surface, either its object-side surface or its image-side surface. This effectively corrects system aberrations and controls the overall thickness of the second lens group to avoid occupying excessive space.

[0123] In the third lens group, at least two lenses may each have convex object-side surfaces near the optical axis and concave image-side surfaces near the optical axis; thereby increasing the effective radius of the image-side lens of the imaging optical lens group to correct peripheral aberrations. All lenses in the third lens group may have at least two lens surfaces with at least one critical point off-axis, wherein the at least two lens surfaces may be the lens surface of the same lens or the lens surfaces of different lenses; thereby correcting off-axis aberrations and reducing image curvature. Please refer to... Figure 31 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the critical point C of the seventh lens 170, the eighth lens 180, and the ninth lens 190 at the off-axis according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 31 The critical points of the seventh, eighth, and ninth lenses at the off-axis are illustrated in the first embodiment as an example. However, in other embodiments of the present invention, in addition to the seventh, eighth, and ninth lenses, other lenses may also have one or more critical points at the off-axis.

[0124] In the following, among all the lenses in the imaging optical lens group, the lens closest to the object side is defined as the object-side lens, and the lens closest to the image side is defined as the image-side lens or the last lens. In one embodiment, the first lens group may contain three lenses, the second lens group may contain three lenses, the third lens group may contain three lenses, and the imaging optical lens group may contain nine lenses. The nine lenses are arranged sequentially from the object side to the image side along the optical path as the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, the fifth lens, the sixth lens, the seventh lens, the eighth lens, and the ninth lens. Each of the nine lenses has an object-side surface facing the object side and an image-side surface facing the image side. That is, the first lens closest to the object side is the object-side lens, and the ninth lens closest to the image side is the image-side lens or the last lens.

[0125] The first lens may have positive refractive power; thereby, it can provide the main converging power to effectively compress the space of the imaging optical lens group and achieve the requirement of miniaturization. The object-side surface of the first lens may be convex near the optical axis; thereby, it can reduce the angle between the light and the object-side surface of the first lens to avoid total internal reflection.

[0126] The second lens can have negative refractive power; thereby, it can balance the aberrations produced by the first lens, and thus correct spherical aberration and chromatic aberration. The object-side surface of the second lens can be convex near the optical axis, and the image-side surface of the second lens can be concave near the optical axis; thereby, it can effectively balance the aberrations produced by the first lens, so as to improve image quality.

[0127] The image-side surface of the third lens can be concave near the optical axis. This allows for a balance between the angle of view and the volume of the imaging optical lens group, thus meeting product requirements.

[0128] The sixth lens can have negative refractive power. This allows for a balance of the refractive power configuration of the imaging optical lens group, resulting in better image quality.

[0129] The object-side surface of the seventh lens can be convex near the optical axis, and the image-side surface of the seventh lens can be concave near the optical axis. This balances the light path directions in the meridional and sagittal directions, which helps to correct astigmatism.

[0130] The eighth lens may have positive refractive power; thereby, it can balance the refractive power of the ninth lens to reduce overall aberration. The image-side surface of the eighth lens may be concave near the optical axis; thereby, it can help compress the back focal length and avoid excessive volume. In one embodiment, when the object-side surface of the eighth lens is convex near the optical axis and the image-side surface of the eighth lens is concave near the optical axis, the effective radius of the eighth lens can be increased to correct peripheral light.

[0131] The ninth lens can have negative refractive power; this facilitates miniaturization of the module, making it suitable for use in electronic devices with stringent size constraints. The image-side surface of the ninth lens can be concave near the optical axis; this helps to shorten the back focal length to meet miniaturization requirements. In one embodiment, when both the object-side and image-side surfaces of the ninth lens are concave near the optical axis, it helps to maintain good image quality at different object distances.

[0132] Among the first to ninth lenses, there are no other interposed solid lenses between each lens. That is to say, there are no other solid lenses between two adjacent lenses, but other optical elements such as air lenses or light shields may be included.

[0133] In the imaging optical lens group disclosed by the present invention, at least three lenses each have at least one inflection point on at least one of their object-side surface and image-side surface; thereby, it helps to correct image curvature to meet the miniaturization characteristics and make the Petzval Surface of the imaging optical lens group flatter. Among them, at least one lens in the second lens group has at least one inflection point on at least one of its object-side surface and image-side surface; thereby, off-axis field aberration can be corrected. Among them, at least one lens in the third lens group has at least one inflection point on at least one of its object-side surface and image-side surface; thereby, it is beneficial to correct off-axis aberration and reduce the volume of the imaging optical lens group.

[0167] In the imaging optical lens group disclosed by the present invention, the material of the lens can be glass or plastic. If the material of the lens is glass, the freedom of refractive power configuration of the imaging optical lens group can be increased, and the influence of the change in the external environmental temperature on imaging can be reduced, and the glass lens can be made by techniques such as grinding or molding.

Therefore, the additives can prevent specific wavelengths of light from interfering with imaging. Furthermore, the additives can be uniformly mixed into plastic and manufactured into lenses using injection molding technology.

[0170] In the imaging optical lens assembly disclosed in this invention, if the lens surface is convex and the position of the convex surface is not defined, it means that the convex surface can be located near the optical axis of the lens surface; if the lens surface is concave and the position of the concave surface is not defined, it means that the concave surface can be located near the optical axis of the lens surface. If the refractive power or focal length of the lens is not defined in its region, it means that the refractive power or focal length of the lens can be the refractive power or focal length of the lens near the optical axis.

[0172] In the imaging optical lens group disclosed in this invention, the imaging surface of the imaging optical lens group can be a plane or a curved surface with any curvature, depending on the corresponding electronic photosensitive element, especially a curved surface with the concave surface facing the object side.

[0173] In the imaging optical lens assembly disclosed in this invention, one or more imaging correction elements (such as planar elements) can be selectively disposed between the lens closest to the imaging surface and the imaging surface in the imaging optical path to achieve the effect of correcting image curvature (such as image distortion). The optical properties of this imaging correction element, such as curvature, thickness, refractive index, position, and surface type (convex or concave, spherical or aspherical, diffractive surface, and Fresnel surface, etc.), can be adjusted according to the requirements of the imaging device. Generally, a preferred configuration of the imaging correction element is to place a thin plano-concave element with a concave surface in the object-side direction close to the imaging surface.

[0174] In the imaging optical lens assembly disclosed in this invention, at least one reflective element with a deflecting optical path function, such as a prism or a mirror, can be selectively disposed between the subject and the imaging surface in the imaging optical path. This provides a more flexible spatial configuration for the imaging optical lens assembly, allowing the thinning and lightening of electronic devices to be unrestricted by the total optical length of the imaging optical lens assembly. For further explanation, please refer to... Figure 32 and Figure 33 ,in Figure 32 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an arrangement of reflective elements according to the present invention within an image-collecting optical lens assembly, and Figure 33 This is a schematic diagram illustrating another configuration of the reflective element according to the present invention within an image-collecting optical lens assembly. For example... Figure 32 and Figure 33 As shown, the imaging optical lens group can travel along the light path from the subject (not shown) to the imaging plane IM, and sequentially includes a first optical axis OA1, a reflective element LF, and a second optical axis OA2, wherein the reflective element LF can be as follows: Figure 32 The image shown is a lens group LG positioned between the subject and the image-capturing optical lens group, or as... Figure 33 The diagram shows the lens group LG positioned between the image-capturing optical lens assembly and the imaging plane IM. Furthermore, please refer to... Figure 34 and Figure 35 ,in Figure 34 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an arrangement of two reflective elements in an image-collecting optical lens assembly according to the present invention, and Figure 35 A schematic diagram illustrating another configuration of the two reflective elements according to the present invention in an image-collecting optical lens assembly is shown. Figure 34 and Figure 35 As shown, the imaging optical lens group can also travel along the light path from the subject (not shown) to the imaging plane IM, and sequentially includes a first optical axis OA1, a first reflective element LF1, a second optical axis OA2, a second reflective element LF2, and a third optical axis OA3. The first reflective element LF1 is disposed between the subject and the lens group LG of the imaging optical lens group, and the second reflective element LF2 is disposed between the lens group LG of the imaging optical lens group and the imaging plane IM. The direction of light travel along the first optical axis OA1 can be as follows: Figure 34 The direction shown is the same as the direction of light travel along the third optical axis OA3, or as... Figure 35 The direction shown is opposite to the direction of light travel along the third optical axis OA3. Additionally, please refer to... Figure 36 A schematic diagram illustrating one arrangement of the three reflective elements according to the present invention within an image-collecting optical lens assembly is shown. Figure 36As shown, the imaging optical lens group can also be arranged along the optical path from the subject (not shown) to the imaging plane IM, and sequentially includes a first optical axis OA1, a first reflective element LF1, a second optical axis OA2, a second reflective element LF2, a third optical axis OA3, a third reflective element LF3, and a fourth optical axis OA4. The first reflective element LF1 is disposed between the subject and the lens group LG of the imaging optical lens group, and the second and third reflective elements LF2 and LF3 are disposed between the lens group LG of the imaging optical lens group and the imaging plane IM. The imaging optical lens group can also optionally be configured with more than four reflective elements; the present invention is not limited to the type, number, and position of the reflective elements disclosed in the accompanying drawings.

[0175] The imaging optical lens group disclosed in this invention may be provided with at least one aperture stop, which may be located in front of the first lens, between the lenses, or after the last lens. The aperture stop may be of the type such as a glare stop or a field stop, which can be used to reduce stray light and help improve image quality.

[0176] In the imaging optical lens assembly disclosed in this invention, the aperture can be configured as a front aperture or a central aperture. A front aperture means the aperture is positioned between the subject and the first lens, while a central aperture means the aperture is positioned between the first lens and the imaging plane. A front aperture allows for a longer distance between the exit pupil and the imaging plane, resulting in a telecentric effect and increasing the efficiency of image reception by the CCD or CMOS sensor. A central aperture helps to expand the field of view of the imaging optical lens assembly.

[0177] This invention may appropriately incorporate a variable aperture element, which can be a mechanical component or a light-regulating element, and whose aperture size and shape can be controlled electrically or by electrical signals. The mechanical component may include movable parts such as a blade assembly or a shielding plate; the light-regulating element may include a filter element, an electrochromic material, a liquid crystal layer, or other masking materials. This variable aperture element can enhance image adjustment capabilities by controlling the amount of light entering the image or the exposure time. Furthermore, this variable aperture element can also be the aperture of this invention, allowing image quality, such as depth of field or exposure speed, to be adjusted by changing the aperture value.

[0178] Based on the above implementation methods, specific embodiments are presented below and described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0453] <Thirteenth Embodiment>

[0454] Please refer to Figure 25 This is a perspective view illustrating an image-capturing device according to a thirteenth embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the image-capturing device 10 is a camera module. The image-capturing device 10 includes an imaging lens 11, a driving device 12, an electronic photosensitive element 13, and an image stabilization module 14. The imaging lens 11 includes an optical lens group, a lens barrel (not otherwise labeled) for supporting the optical lens group, and a support device (Holder Member, not otherwise labeled). The optical lens group may be the image-capturing optical lens group of the first embodiment described above, or the optical lens group may be the image-capturing optical lens group of other embodiments described above, and the present invention is not limited thereto. The image-capturing device 10 uses the imaging lens 11 to focus light to generate an image, and cooperates with the driving device 12 to focus the image, finally imaging it on the electronic photosensitive element 13 and outputting it as image data. The electronic photosensitive element 13 has, for example, more than 40 million pixels, thereby providing the user with better image detail.

[0455] The driving device 12 may have an auto-focus function, and its driving method can use a driving system such as a voice coil motor (VCM), microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), piezoelectric systems, and shape memory alloys. The driving device 12 allows the imaging lens 11 to achieve a better imaging position, enabling clear images to be captured even when the subject is at different object distances. In addition, the imaging device 10 is equipped with a high-sensitivity and low-noise electronic image sensor 13 (such as CMOS or CCD) located on the imaging surface of the imaging optical lens group, which can truly present the good imaging quality of the imaging optical lens group.

[0456] The image stabilization module 14 is, for example, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, or a Hall effect sensor. The drive unit 12 can work in conjunction with the image stabilization module 14 to form an optical image stabilization (OIS) device. By adjusting the changes in different axes of the imaging lens 11, it compensates for the blurry image caused by shaking during shooting, or uses image compensation technology in the image software to provide electronic image stabilization (EIS), further improving the image quality of shooting in dynamic and low-light scenes.

[0457] <Fourteenth Embodiment>

[0458] Please refer to Figures 26 to 28 ,in Figure 26 A perspective view of one side of an electronic device according to the fourteenth embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 27 Draw Figure 26 A three-dimensional diagram of the other side of the electronic device, and Figure 28 Draw Figure 26 System block diagram of an electronic device.

[0459] In this embodiment, the electronic device 20 is a smartphone.

Image capturing devices 10b, 10c, 10d, and the user interface 24 are all located on the other side of the electronic device 20, and the user interface 24 is a display device, allowing image capturing devices 10b, 10c, and 10d to function as front-facing cameras for selfies; however, this invention is not limited to this. Furthermore, image capturing devices 10a, 10b, 10c, and 10d all have a similar structural configuration to image capturing device 10. Specifically, each of image capturing devices 10a, 10b, 10c, and 10d includes an imaging lens, a driving device, an electronic photosensitive element, and an image stabilization module. Each imaging lens of image capturing devices 10a, 10b, 10c, and 10d includes an optical lens group, a lens barrel for supporting the optical lens group, and a support device.

[0460] Image capturing device 10 is a wide-angle image capturing device, image capturing device 10a is an ultra-wide-angle image capturing device, image capturing device 10b is a wide-angle image capturing device, image capturing device 10c is an ultra-wide-angle image capturing device, and image capturing device 10d is a Time-of-Flight (ToF) image capturing device. In this embodiment, image capturing device 10 and image capturing device 10a have different viewing angles. Specifically, the maximum viewing angle of image capturing device 10 and the maximum viewing angle of image capturing device 10a can differ by at least 20 degrees. This allows the electronic device 20 to acquire images of different ranges and levels of detail to meet various shooting scenarios. Additionally, image capturing device 10d can acquire depth information of the image. The above-described electronic device 20 is exemplified by including multiple image capturing devices 10, 10a, 10b, 10c, and 10d, but the number and configuration of the image capturing devices are not intended to limit the invention.

[0461] When the user takes a picture of the subject 26, the electronic device 20 uses the image capturing device 10 or image capturing device 10a to focus the light, activates the flash module 21 for supplemental lighting, and uses the subject distance information of the subject 26 provided by the focus assist module 22 for fast focusing. In addition, the image signal processor 23 performs image optimization processing to further improve the image quality produced by the optical lens group used for image capturing. The focus assist module 22 can use an infrared or laser focus assist system to achieve fast focusing. Furthermore, the electronic device 20 can also use the image capturing devices 10b, 10c, or 10d for taking pictures. The user interface 24 can use a touch screen or a physical shooting button, combined with the diverse functions of the image software processor 25 for image capturing and image processing. The image processed by the image software processor 25 can be displayed on the user interface 24.

Furthermore, image capturing devices 10e and 10f have a similar structural configuration to image capturing device 10, and will not be described further here.

[0465] Image capturing device 10 is a wide-angle image capturing device, image capturing device 10e is a telephoto image capturing device, and image capturing device 10f is an ultra-wide-angle image capturing device. In this embodiment, image capturing devices 10, 10e, and 10f have different viewing angles. Specifically, half of the maximum viewing angle of image capturing device 10 can be greater than 35 degrees, and half of the maximum viewing angle of image capturing device 10e can be less than 25 degrees. That is, the maximum viewing angle of image capturing device 10 and the maximum viewing angle of image capturing device 10e can differ by at least 20 degrees; furthermore, the maximum viewing angle of image capturing device 10 and the maximum viewing angle of image capturing device 10f can also differ by at least 20 degrees.
