[0067] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other implementations obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0068] like Figure 1As shown, a refractive-diffractive hybrid high-image-quality lens of the present invention consists of five lenses, with a simple structure, small size, low distortion, high image quality, and low chromatic aberration. By combining lenses with different structures and diffractive elements and reasonably distributing the optical powers of each lens, it is possible to ensure high image quality while having low distortion, low chromatic aberration, and a large field angle. Along the optical axis from the object side to the image side, it sequentially includes a first lens L1, an aperture STO, a second lens L2, a third lens L3, a fourth lens L4, a fifth lens L5, an IR, and an imaging surface IMA.

[0069] The first lens L1 has a negative optical power. The object side surface S1 of the first lens L1 is concave, and the image side surface S2 is convex.

[0070] The second lens L2 has a positive optical power. The object side surface S4 of the second lens L2 is convex, and the image side surface S5 is convex.

[0071] The third lens L3 has a negative optical power. The object side surface S6 of the third lens L3 is convex, and the image side surface S7 is concave.

[0072] The fourth lens L4 has a positive optical power. The object side surface S8 of the fourth lens L4 is concave, and the image side surface S9 is convex.

[0073] The fifth lens L5 has a positive optical power. The object side surface S10 of the fifth lens L2 is convex, and the image side surface S11 is concave.

[0074] By adopting the above lens design, the lens has high image quality and low chromatic aberration, and at the same time, the optical system has a large field angle. The lens adopts an all-plastic design, which reduces costs and effectively reduces the weight of the lens. <00​​​​​​​​​​​​In addition, in some embodiments, the lens may also satisfy the following conditional formula:

[0080] -1 <R1 / R2<1.5;

[0081] -3 <R3 / R4<2;

[0082] 0 <R5 / R6<3;

[0083] -1 <R7 / R8<2;

[0084] Wherein, R1 is the radius of curvature of the object side of the first lens,

[0085] R2 is the curvature radius of the image side of the first lens,

[0086] R3 is the radius of curvature of the object side of the second lens,

[0087] R4 is the curvature radius of the image side of the second lens,

[0088] R5 is the radius of curvature of the object side of the third lens,

[0089] R6 is the curvature radius of the image side of the third lens,

[0090] R7 is the radius of curvature of the object side of the fourth lens,

[0091] R8 is the curvature radius of the image-side surface of the fourth lens.

[0092] The lens combination structure that satisfies the above curvature relationship can reasonably control the shape of each lens in the optical system, which helps to achieve a larger field of view and higher image quality.

[0093] In addition, in some embodiments, the lens may also satisfy the following conditional formula:

[0094] 0.85 <FNO / ENPD<1.8;

[0095] Where FNO is the aperture of the lens, and ENPD is the entrance pupil diameter of the lens. By satisfying the above relationship, the optical system has a larger aperture.

[0096] In addition, in some embodiments, the lens may also satisfy the following conditional formula:

[0097] 3.1 <TTL / tanHFOV<3.5;

[0098] Where TTL is the on-axis distance from the object-side surface of the first lens to the imaging plane, and HFOV is the half-angle of view of the lens's maximum field of view. Satisfying this relationship allows the optical system to have a larger field of view while maintaining a constant overall length, thereby controlling both the system's volume and field of view.

[0099] The first through fourth lenses are all aspherical. Due to the wide range of freedom offered by aspherical surfaces, their ability to deflect light and correct aberrations is significantly superior to spherical surfaces, improving lens resolution and correcting lens distortion. This also helps correct the angle of light exiting the lens, ensuring a better match with the sensor.

[0100] In addition, the lens can also meet the following conditions:

[0101] DFOV ≥ 110°,

[0102] Wherein, DFOV is the full field of view of the lens.

[0103] In addition, the lens can also meet the following conditions:

[0104] The lens satisfies the following conditional formula:

[0105] 50≤Vd1≤60,

[0106] 50≤Vd2≤60,

[0107] 20≤Vd3≤30,

[0108] 20≤Vd4≤61,

[0109] 20≤Vd5≤30,

[0110] Wherein, Vd1 is the Abbe number of the first lens,

[0111] Vd2 is the Abbe number of the second lens,

[0112] Vd3 is the Abbe number of the third lens,

[0113] Vd4 is the Abbe number of the fourth lens,

[0114] Vd5 is the Abbe number of the fifth lens.

[0115] Below, a high-quality diffractive-refractive hybrid lens is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0116] Example 1

[0117] In this embodiment, lenses L1-L4 are all aspherical. Leveraging the wide range of freedom offered by aspherical surfaces, they offer superior correction capabilities for light deflection and aberration compared to spherical surfaces, further enhancing lens resolution and correcting lens distortion. This also helps correct the angle of light exiting the lens, ensuring a better match with the photosensitive element.

[0118] In the diffractive-refractive hybrid high-image-quality lens of this embodiment, by using a diffractive surface, the diffractive element has the characteristic of negative dispersion, which can correct the chromatic aberration of the optical system and thus improve the image quality of the optical system.

[0119] In this embodiment, the lens combination structure that satisfies the above curvature relationship can reasonably adjust the shape of each lens of the optical system, which helps to achieve a larger field of view angle and higher image quality.

[0120] Note: A negative aperture thickness does not represent the actual aperture thickness, but refers to the relative position, the position of the system aperture relative to the L2S1 surface.

[0121] Standard surface: When the surface radius is infinite and the cone coefficient is 0, it is a plane.

[0122] The lens design parameters of this embodiment can be shown in the following table.

[0124] In the table above, the surface radius and thickness are in millimeters; the surface marked with "*" indicates an aspheric surface. The surface shape of the aspheric lens satisfies the following relationship:

[0125]

[0126] Wherein, parameter c is the curvature corresponding to the lens radius, y is the radial coordinate, the unit of the radial coordinate is the same as the unit of the lens length, and k is the coefficient of the conic quadratic curve; when the k coefficient is less than -1, the surface curve of the lens is a hyperbola, when the k coefficient is equal to -1, the surface curve of the lens is a parabola; when the k coefficient is between -1 and 0, the surface curve of the lens is an ellipse, when the k coefficient is equal to 0, the surface curve of the lens is a circle, and when the k coefficient is greater than 0, the surface curve of the lens is an oblate ellipse; a4, a6, a8, a 10 、a 12 、a 14 、a 16 These are the surface coefficients corresponding to the radial coordinates of the fourth, sixth, eighth, tenth, twelfth, fourteenth, and sixteenth orders, respectively. The values ​​of the conic coefficient k are shown in the table above, and the other detailed aspheric parameters are shown in the table below.

Figure 3This is the MTF curve of the system, with the horizontal axis representing frequency. As shown in the figure, at the high frequency band of 110, the MTF reaches a minimum of 55%. When shooting, the resolution of the image center and surrounding areas is high, and the overall clarity is high. Figure 4 This is the system's spot diagram, which uses diffuse spots to represent the system's aberrations. The smaller the diffuse spot, the smaller the system aberrations and the better the image quality. As shown in the figure, the system's maximum diffuse spot is 4.2 microns, indicating high image quality. Figure 5 The chromatic aberration curves of the system at different wavelengths are shown in the figure. As shown in the figure, the curves of all wavelengths are within the Airy disk, indicating that the imaging chromatic aberration of the system is small and not easy to detect.

[0133]

[0134]

[0135] like Figures 7 to 10 As shown, Figure 7 The distortion curve of this embodiment is shown. As shown in the figure, the optical distortion of the system is less than 1.9%, so that the image deformation during shooting is extremely low and difficult to be detected by the human eye. Figure 8 This is the MTF curve of the system. As shown in the figure, at the high frequency band of 110 frequencies, the MTF reaches a minimum of 52%.

Figure 10 The chromatic aberration curves of the system at different wavelengths are shown in the figure. As shown in the figure, the curves of all wavelengths are within the Airy disk, indicating that the imaging chromatic aberration of the system is small and not easy to detect.

[0141]

[0142] like Figures 12 to 15 As shown, Figure 12 The distortion curve of this embodiment is shown. As shown in the figure, the optical distortion of the system is less than 1.8%, so that the image deformation during shooting is extremely low and difficult to be detected by the human eye, thus meeting the needs of photography. Figure 13 This is the MTF curve of the system. As shown in the figure, at the high frequency band of 110 frequencies, the MTF reaches a minimum of 50%. When shooting, the resolution of the image center and the surrounding areas is high, and the overall clarity is high. Figure 14 This is the point diagram of the system. As shown in the figure, the maximum diffuse spot of the system is 2.2 microns, and the image quality is relatively high.
