[0040] It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present application can be combined with each other without conflict. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0041] The optical lens provided by the embodiments of the present application has four lenses with optical power, which are sequentially arranged along the optical axis from the object side to the imaging surface as the first lens, the second lens, the third lens and the fourth lens.

[0042] In some embodiments, the first lens can have positive optical power, the object side surface thereof can be a concave surface, and the image side surface thereof can be a convex surface. The second lens can have positive optical power, the object side surface thereof can be a convex surface at the near optical axis, and the image side surface thereof can be a convex surface. The third lens can have positive optical power, the object side surface thereof can be a concave surface at the near optical axis, and the image side surface thereof can be a convex surface at the near optical axis. The fourth lens can have negative optical power, the object side surface thereof can be a concave surface at the near optical axis, and the image side surface thereof can be a convex surface at the near optical axis.

[0043] In some embodiments, the optical lens can further include a diaphragm, which can be located between the object plane and the first lens. It can be understood that the diaphragm is used to limit the amount of light to change the brightness of the imaging. When the diaphragm is located between the object plane and the first lens, the correction of the diaphragm aberration is facilitated.

[0044] In some embodiments, the optical lens can further include a filter and a protective glass, which are sequentially arranged along the optical axis between the fourth lens and the imaging surface. The filter is used to filter out the interference light to prevent the interference light from reaching the imaging surface of the optical lens and affecting the normal imaging. The protective glass plays a role of protecting the optical lens, prevents the photosensitive chip from being damaged, and can improve the impact resistance and scratch resistance of the optical lens, while having little effect on the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0045] In some embodiments, the real image height IH corresponding to the maximum field of view angle of the optical lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 1.3 < IH / f < 1.6; the object side surface radius of curvature R7 of the fourth lens and the image side surface radius of curvature R8 of the fourth lens satisfy: -0.45 < (R7-R8) / (R7+R8) < -0.2. Satisfying the above range is conducive to realizing large target surface imaging of the lens and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens. At the same time, it is conducive to reducing the aberration generated by the front end lens. More specifically: 1.32 < IH / f < 1.51; -0.42 < (R7-R8) / (R7+R8) < -0.21.

[0046] In some embodiments, the total optical length TTL of the optical lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 2.2 < TTL / f < 2.6; the total optical length TTL of the optical lens and the real image height IH corresponding to the maximum field of view angle of the optical lens satisfy: 1.6 < TTL / IH < 1.8. Satisfying the above range is conducive to achieving a balance between miniaturization and large image of the optical lens, so that the lens has a smaller total length. More specifically: 2.3 < TTL / f < 2.49; 1.64 < TTL / IH < 1.76.

[0047] In some embodiments, the maximum field of view angle FOV of the optical lens and the aperture value Fno of the optical lens satisfy: 30° < FOV / Fno < 43°; the real image height IH corresponding to the maximum field of view angle of the optical lens and the entrance pupil diameter EPD of the optical lens satisfy: 2.7 < IH / EPD < 3.1; the real image height IH corresponding to the maximum field of view angle of the optical lens, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the radian value θ of the maximum half field of view angle of the optical lens satisfy: 1 < (IH / 2) / (f x θ) < 1.1; the real image height IH corresponding to the maximum field of view angle of the optical lens, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the maximum field of view angle FOV of the optical lens satisfy: 0.88 < (IH / 2) / (f x Tan(FOV / 2)) < 1. Satisfying the above range is conducive to realizing more light quantity, ensuring that high-definition imaging can be realized in a dim environment, thereby facilitating the acquisition of more scene information. And the optical lens can satisfy that the edge field of view has sufficient image plane brightness, preventing the occurrence of dark corners, thereby improving the imaging quality. At the same time, it can control the optical lens to have smaller distortion, which can provide clear imaging effect. More specifically: 31.63° < FOV / Fno < 42.12°; 2.84 < IH / EPD < 2.94; 1.07 < (IH / 2) / (f x θ) < 1.1; 0.88 < (IH / 2) / (f x Tan(FOV / 2)) < 0.97.

[0048] In some embodiments, the optical total length TTL of the optical lens, the real image height IH corresponding to the maximum field of view angle of the optical lens, and the maximum field of view angle FOV of the optical lens satisfy: 14 < 180°xTTL / (IH / 2) / (FOV / 2) < 19; the effective focal length f of the optical lens, the maximum field of view angle FOV of the optical lens, and the real image height IH corresponding to the maximum field of view angle of the optical lens satisfy: 50° < f x FOV / IH < 55°. Satisfying the above ranges is conducive to balancing the relationship among the total length, the image height, and the field of view angle of the optical lens. Meanwhile, it is also conducive to balancing the relationship among the focal length, the field of view angle, and the image height of the optical lens. More specifically, 14.88 < 180°xTTL / (IH / 2) / (FOV / 2) < 18.07; 52.33° < f x FOV / IH < 53.27°.

[0049] In some embodiments, the half light passing diameter d1 of the object side of the first lens, the real image height IH corresponding to the maximum field of view angle of the optical lens, and the maximum field of view angle FOV of the optical lens satisfy: 1 < d1 / (IH / 2) / Tan(FOV / 2) < 1.15; the half light passing diameter d1 of the object side of the first lens and the half light passing diameter d8 of the image side of the fourth lens satisfy: 0.4 < d1 / d8 < 0.44. Satisfying the above ranges can reasonably arrange the overall geometric shape of the optical lens and improve its structural stability. Meanwhile, it can ensure smooth transmission of light beams, improve light efficiency, be conducive to complete imaging, and avoid missing of edge pictures.

Satisfying the above ranges reasonably limits the power ratio and surface shape of the first lens, which can converge light rays, lower the height of peripheral light rays, and be conducive to reducing the aperture of the rear lens. More specifically, 2.07 < f1 / f < 5.95; -0.67 < R1 / f < -0.55; -0.8 < R2 / f < -0.48.

Satisfying the above ranges, the proportion of the refractive power of the second lens and the surface shape thereof are reasonably limited, which is beneficial to light convergence, makes the light trend transition smoothly to the rear, reduces the height of the light incident to the rear, slows down the upward trend of the light, and is beneficial to improving the illumination of the edge field of view. More specifically, 0.83 < f2 / f < 1.18; 0.91 < R3 / f < 1.41; and -1.44 < R4 / f < -0.52.

[0052] In some embodiments, the focal length f3 of the third lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.9 < f3 / f < 2.1; the object-side surface curvature radius R5 of the third lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -0.75 < R5 / f < -0.2; the image-side surface curvature radius R6 of the third lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -0.6 < R6 / f < -0.2; and the object-side surface curvature radius R5 of the third lens and the image-side surface curvature radius R6 of the third lens satisfy: 0 < (R5-R6) / (R5+R6) < 0.2. Satisfying the above ranges, the proportion of the refractive power of the third lens and the surface shape thereof are reasonably limited, which can optimize the spherical aberration and realize high-quality imaging. More specifically, 0.95 < f3 / f < 2.02; -0.71 < R5 / f < -0.25; -0.53 < R6 / f < -0.25; and 0.01 < (R5-R6) / (R5+R6) < 0.16.

Satisfying the above ranges, the proportion of the refractive power of the fourth lens and the surface shape thereof are reasonably limited, which can effectively correct the aberration of the optical lens and improve the imaging quality. Meanwhile, the difficulty of aberration correction in the edge field of view can be reduced.

[0056] In some embodiments, the focal length f1 of the first lens and the focal length f3 of the third lens satisfy: 2 < f1 / f3 < 3.2. Satisfying the above range, the proportion of the refractive power of the first lens and the third lens is reasonably distributed, which is beneficial to accurately adjusting the total focal length, coordinating the light efficiency and improving the imaging brightness in a low-light environment. More specifically, 2.15 < f1 / f3 < 2.96.

[0057] In some embodiments, the focal length f1 of the first lens and the focal length f4 of the fourth lens satisfy: -4 < f1 / f4 < -2.1.

More specifically: -3.86 < f1 / f4 < -2.29.

[0058] In some embodiments, the image-side surface curvature radius R2 of the first lens and the object-side surface curvature radius R3 of the second lens satisfy: -14 < (R2-R3) / (R2+R3) < -2.

Compared with the spherical structure, the aspherical structure can effectively reduce the aberration of the optical system, thereby reducing the number of lenses and the size of the lenses, and better realizing the miniaturization of the lens. More specifically, the first lens in the optical lens provided by the present application can adopt a spherical lens or an aspherical lens, and the second lens, the third lens, and the fourth lens can adopt an aspherical lens.
