Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photographing equipment, and in particular to a free-form surface periscope telephoto lens. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, users have higher and higher requirements for the camera performance of the camera modules of electronic devices, and telephoto lenses play an increasingly important role in modern smartphones. The optical zoom function of current smartphones usually relies on integrating multiple lenses in the camera system, each with a different focal length, so as to achieve different zoom magnifications. Among them, telephoto lenses play a key role in providing higher zoom magnifications. However, as the zoom magnification increases, especially when a higher magnification telephoto lens is required, the challenge is the limitation of smartphone design. The design of smartphones tends to be thin and light, which limits the physical size and length of a single telephoto lens, because traditional telephoto lenses require a long optical path when providing high-magnification zoom, which often causes the camera to protrude from the back of the phone, increasing the overall thickness of the phone. In this case, periscope cameras become a solution.

[0003] However, the current common telephoto camera design usually uses two right-angle prisms to fold the optical path, and cooperates with multiple plastic aspherical lenses. The role of the right-angle prism is to fold the optical path within a limited thickness to reduce the thickness of the module. However, in order to achieve the requirements of high resolution and optical performance, multiple complex aspherical lenses are required to correct optical distortion and chromatic aberration, which leads to an increase in the overall length and limits the optimization space of the design.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a free-form periscope telephoto lens to reduce the overall length of the lens and optimize the volume and structure of the lens. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a free-form periscope telephoto lens, which reduces the overall length of the lens and optimizes the volume and structure of the lens.

[0007] The first free-form prism is used to bend the light 90 degrees:

[0008] A first lens having negative refractive power;

[0009] a second lens having positive refractive power;

[0010] The second free-form surface prism is used to fold the light 90 degrees again.

[0011] Furthermore, the first free-form surface prism and the second free-form surface prism each include: a light incident surface, a reflection surface and a light emitting surface;

[0012] The curved surface expressions of the light incident surface, the reflection surface and the light emitting surface are all:

[0013] ;

[0014] Where: x is the x-axis coordinate value, y is the y-axis coordinate value, z is the z-axis coordinate value, c is the curvature of the free-form surface vertex, r is the radial distance from the vertex of the surface to a point on the surface, k is the cone coefficient, N is the total number of Zernike polynomials, A is the coefficient of the Zernike polynomial, E i (x, y) is a Zernike polynomial.

[0016] The second free-form surface prism has a focal length ranging from -5 mm to 30 mm.

[0017] Furthermore, the first lens and the second lens are aspherical lenses;

[0018] The combined focal length of the first lens and the second lens is in the range of 5 mm to 50 mm.

[0019] The present invention also provides a free-form surface periscope telephoto lens, comprising: along the optical axis from the object plane to the image plane, the following are included in sequence:

[0020] The first free-form surface prism is used to refract light, and the range of the refracted light is greater than or equal to 60 degrees and less than 90 degrees;

[0021] The second free-form surface prism is used to refract the light, and the range of the refracted light is greater than or equal to 60 degrees and less than 90 degrees;

[0022] A first lens having negative refractive power;

[0023] The second lens has positive refractive power.

[0024] Furthermore, the first free-form surface prism and the second free-form surface prism each include: a light incident surface, a reflection surface, a secondary reflection surface and a light emitting surface;

[0025] The curved surface expressions of the light incident surface, the reflection surface, the secondary reflection surface and the light emitting surface are all:

[0026] ;

[0027] Where: x is the x-axis coordinate value, y is the y-axis coordinate value, z is the z-axis coordinate value, c is the curvature of the free-form surface vertex, r is the radial distance from the vertex of the surface to a point on the surface, k is the cone coefficient, N is the total number of Zernike polynomials, A is the coefficient of the Zernike polynomial, E i (x, y) is a Zernike polynomial.

[0028] Furthermore, the secondary reflection surface is used for total reflection.

[0029] Furthermore, the first free-form surface prism has a focal length range of 3 mm to 20 mm;

[0030] The second free-form surface prism has a focal length ranging from -5 mm to 30 mm.

[0031] Furthermore, the first lens and the second lens are aspherical lenses;

[0032] The combined focal length of the first lens and the second lens is in the range of 5 mm to 50 mm.

[0033] The embodiments of the present invention have the following technical effects:

[0034] The present invention can significantly simplify the optical path by introducing two free-form prisms to replace the traditional right-angle prisms. The free-form prisms can more effectively fold the optical path, reducing the number and complexity of the required lenses, thereby optimizing the overall optical structure. The free-form prisms can more effectively fold the optical path, thus significantly reducing the physical volume of the module, which is particularly important for thin and light devices such as smartphones, and can improve the compactness of product design and user experience while maintaining performance.

[0035] At the same time, the introduction of free-form prisms can more accurately control the refraction and reflection of the light path, which helps to reduce optical distortion and improve image clarity and color performance. Adding a small amount of plastic aspherical lenses can further improve optical performance and ensure high resolution and high-quality output of the camera. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
