[0009] According to one exemplary embodiment of the present application, the effective focal length f2 of the second lens and the distance EP02 of the first side end surface of the lens barrel and the second spacer element along the optical axis satisfy: -25.74 ≤ f2 / EP02 ≤ -15.8.

[0010] According to one exemplary embodiment of the present application, the radius of curvature R2 of the second side surface of the first lens and the inner diameter d2s of the first side surface of the second spacer element satisfy: -2.00 ≤ R2 / d2s ≤ -1.15.

[0011] According to one exemplary embodiment of the present application, the radius of curvature R6 of the second side surface of the third lens and the inner diameter d0m of the second side end surface of the lens barrel satisfy: 0.88 ≤ R6 / d0m ≤ 1.27.

[0040] The first aspect of the present application provides such an optical imaging system, which can include an imaging group. The imaging group can include, in order from a first side to a second side along an optical axis, a linear polarizing film, a reflective polarizing element, a quarter-wave plate, a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, and a partially reflective layer. The optical imaging system has a number of lenses with optical power of four. The catadioptric of the light path can be achieved by using the reflective polarizing element, the quarter-wave plate, and the partially reflective layer, effectively shortening the body length of the optical imaging system, reducing the volume and weight of the optical imaging system, and realizing the lightweight of the optical imaging system.

[0041] In an example embodiment, the first lens and the second lens are cemented to form a cemented lens. The third lens and the fourth lens are cemented to form a cemented lens.

[0042] In an example embodiment, the first lens can have a positive optical power or a negative optical power. The second lens can have a negative optical power. The third lens can have a negative optical power. The fourth lens can have a positive optical power.

[0043] In an example embodiment, the first side surface of the first lens can be a concave surface or a plane, and the second side surface can be a convex surface. The first side surface of the first lens is provided as a concave surface, which can increase the maximum field angle of the optical imaging system, thereby increasing the field range of the optical imaging system.

[0044] In an example embodiment, the second side surface of the second lens can be a convex surface. In the case where the third lens has a small central thickness, by providing the second side surface of the second lens as a convex surface, the second side surface of the second lens can converge the light rays, so that the light rays of the image surface of the second side are as much as possible to converge, ensuring that the optical imaging system has a small image height, which is conducive to reducing the size of the display screen of the second side and reducing the weight and cost of the optical imaging system.

[0045] In an example embodiment, the first side surface of the third lens can be a convex surface, and the second side surface can be a concave surface.

[0046] In an example embodiment, the first side of the fourth lens can be convex, and the second side of the fourth lens can be convex. In the case that the third lens has a small central thickness, by setting the second side of the fourth lens to be convex, the second side of the fourth lens can converge light rays, so that the light rays of the image plane of the second side are converged as much as possible, ensuring that the optical imaging system has a small image height, which is conducive to reducing the size of the display screen of the second side, and reducing the weight and cost of the optical imaging system.

[0047] In an example embodiment, the linear polarizing film can be disposed on and at least partially conform to the first side of the reflective polarizing element. The reflective polarizing element can be disposed on and at least partially conform to the first side of the quarter-wave plate. The quarter-wave plate can be disposed on and at least partially conform to the first side of the first lens.

[0048] In an example embodiment, the partially reflective layer can be disposed on and at least partially conform to the second side of the fourth lens. The partially reflective layer can have a semi-transmissive and semi-reflective effect on light rays. By setting the partially reflective layer on the second side of the fourth lens, in combination with the reflective polarizing element and the quarter-wave plate, the light rays can be folded and reflected multiple times, effectively reducing the length of the optical imaging system.

[0049] In an example embodiment, the optical imaging system can further include a stop, which can be disposed on the first side of the first lens. As an example, the stop can be, for example, the eye pupil of a user. The image light from the second side passes through the partially reflective layer, the fourth lens, the third lens, the second lens, the first lens, the quarter-wave plate, the reflective polarizing element, the linear polarizing film, and the like multiple times, and is finally projected to the eye of the user on the first side.

[0050] In an example embodiment, the first side can be, for example, the side of the human eye, and the second side can be, for example, the side of the display screen. Accordingly, the first side of each element (such as the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, the partially reflective layer, the quarter-wave plate, the reflective polarizing element, and the linear polarizing film) can be referred to as the near-eye side, and the second side can be referred to as the near-screen side.

[0051] In the example embodiment, the second side of the optical imaging system can be provided with an image plane. The image plane can be provided with a display screen. Light from the display screen passes through the fourth lens, the third lens, the second lens, the first lens, the quarter wave plate, reaches the reflective polarizer, and is reflected at the reflective polarizer to form first reflected image light. The first reflected image light passes through the quarter wave plate, the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, reaches the partially reflective layer of the second side of the fourth lens, and is reflected at the partially reflective layer to form second reflected image light. The second reflected image light passes through the fourth lens, the third lens, the second lens, the first lens, the quarter wave plate, the reflective polarizer, the linear polarizer film, reaches the aperture, and is finally projected to the human eye. The optical imaging system provided in the present application effectively shortens the length of the optical imaging system by folding the required optical path in a combination of light reflection and refraction without affecting the projection quality.

[0052] In the example embodiment, the optical imaging system can further include a second spacer element. The second spacer element can be disposed on the second side of the second lens and at least partially in contact with the second side of the second lens. Reasonable use of the spacer element can effectively avoid stray light risk, reduce interference with image quality, and thus improve the imaging quality of the optical imaging system.

[0053] In the example embodiment, the optical imaging system can further include a lens barrel. The imaging group and the second spacer element are disposed in the lens barrel. The end face of the lens barrel closest to the first side is the first side end face of the lens barrel, and the end face of the lens barrel closest to the second side is the second side end face of the lens barrel.

[0054] In the example embodiment, the outer peripheral surface of at least one lens in the imaging group can have a cut edge portion and a non-cut edge portion, and the outer diameter of the cut edge portion of the lens can be smaller than the outer diameter of the non-cut edge portion of the lens. When the outer peripheral surface of the lens has a cut edge portion, the outer diameter of the lens generally refers to the outer diameter of the non-cut edge portion of the lens. For example, the outer diameter of the first side of the lens refers to the outer diameter of the portion of the non-cut edge portion of the lens closest to the first side, and the outer diameter of the second side of the lens refers to the outer diameter of the portion of the non-cut edge portion of the lens closest to the second side.

[0055] In the example embodiment, the outer peripheral surface of the second spacer element can have a cut edge portion and a non-cut edge portion, and the outer diameter of the cut edge portion of the second spacer element can be smaller than the outer diameter of the non-cut edge portion of the second spacer element. When the outer peripheral surface of the second spacer element has a cut edge portion, the outer diameter of the second spacer element generally refers to the outer diameter of the non-cut edge portion of the second spacer element. For example, the outer diameter of the first side of the second spacer element refers to the outer diameter of the portion of the non-cut edge portion of the second spacer element closest to the first side, and the outer diameter of the second side of the second spacer element refers to the outer diameter of the portion of the non-cut edge portion of the second spacer element closest to the second side.

[0056] In the example embodiment, the outer diameter D0m of the second side end surface of the lens barrel and the outer diameter D2m of the second side surface of the second spacer element satisfy: 4.51 mm≤D0m-D2m≤5.8 mm; the inner diameter d2m of the second side surface of the second spacer element, the inner diameter d2s of the first side surface of the second spacer element, and the on-axis distance T23 from the second side surface of the second lens to the first side surface of the third lens satisfy: 0.97≤(d2m-d2s) / T23≤2.79. By controlling the difference range of the outer diameter of the second side end surface of the lens barrel and the outer diameter of the second side surface of the second spacer element, the ghost image of the optical imaging system can be reduced, however, in this case, the center thickness of the second lens is limited, thereby leading to poor assembly stability of the second lens, poor field curvature of the optical imaging system, and affecting the imaging quality of the optical imaging system. Therefore, by reasonably configuring the relationship between the inner diameter of the second side surface of the second spacer element, the inner diameter of the first side surface of the second spacer element, and the on-axis distance T23 from the second side surface of the second lens to the first side surface of the third lens, the assembly stability of the second lens can be improved, the assembly deformation amount of the second lens can be reduced, the field curvature of the optical imaging system can be reduced, and the imaging quality of the optical imaging system can be improved.

[0057] Table 1 is a structure sensitivity analysis table of the second side surface of the second lens. Table 2 is an optical sensitivity and comprehensive sensitivity analysis table of the second side surface of the second lens. In Table 1, surface S4 is the second side surface of the second lens, and ΔS4PV (i.e., structure sensitivity) is the surface profile variation of the second side surface of the second lens. Under the action of stress, the center point and the edge point of the second side surface of the second lens will be offset, thereby causing the surface profile PV of the second side surface of the second lens to change. The smaller the absolute value of ΔS4PV is, the smaller the surface profile variation of the second side surface of the second lens is, and the better the structure sensitivity of the second side surface of the second lens is. The center point and the edge point of the second side surface of the second lens can refer to the center point and the edge point of the second side surface of the second lens in the example embodiment.

[0058] In Table 1, surface S4 is the second side surface of the second lens, and ΔS4PV (i.e., structure sensitivity) is the surface profile variation of the second side surface of the second lens. Under the action of stress, the center point and the edge point of the second side surface of the second lens will be offset, thereby causing the surface profile PV of the second side surface of the second lens to change. The smaller the absolute value of ΔS4PV is, the smaller the surface profile variation of the second side surface of the second lens is, and the better the structure sensitivity of the second side surface of the second lens is. The center point and the edge point of the second side surface of the second lens can refer to the center point and the edge point of the second side surface of the second lens in the example embodiment. Figure 1 .

[0059] In Table 2, the S-direction peak can be the S-curve peak of the MTF curve at a 0.4 field of view, and the M-direction peak can be the M-curve peak of the MTF curve at a 0.4 field of view. "S" represents the sagittal curve, and "M" represents the meridional curve. When the ΔS4PV changes, the S-direction peak and / or the M-direction peak will change accordingly. The amount of change in the S-direction peak and / or the M-direction peak can be the optical sensitivity. The overall sensitivity can be the product of the structural sensitivity and the optical sensitivity. It should be understood that the smaller the absolute value of the optical sensitivity, the better the optical sensitivity; the smaller the absolute value of the overall sensitivity, the better the overall sensitivity. MTF stands for Modulation Transfer Function.

[0062] Table 1

[0063]

[0064] Table 2

[0065] Structural sensitivity indicates the amount of change in the surface profile of the second side of the second lens of a lens when a certain load is applied to the lens. The same load is applied to Lens 1, Lens 2, and Lens 3, and Lens 1, Lens 2, and Lens 3 are each subjected to the same external force on the second side of the second lens. Under the influence of stress, the center and edge points of the second side of the second lens will shift, causing the surface profile PV of the second side of the second lens to change. For example, referring to Table 1, through simulation, the structural sensitivity of Lens 1, Lens 2, and Lens 3 were 0.0188um, 0.783um, and 0.190um, respectively. It can be seen that Lens 1 has a smaller structural sensitivity, that is, a smaller amount of surface profile change, and Lens 1 has a better structural sensitivity.

[0066] Optical sensitivity indicates the change in the lens's MTF peak value for a given change in surface shape. Lenses 1, 2, and 3 all have the same surface shape change. For example, referring to Table 2, simulations show that when ΔS4PV increases by 1μm, the changes in the 0.4-field MTF peak values ​​for Lenses 1, 2, and 3 in the S direction are -0.46%, -0.66%, and -0.91%, respectively, and in the M direction are -0.38%, -0.83%, and -0.61%, respectively. When ΔS4PV decreases by 1μm, the changes in the 0.4-field MTF peak values ​​for Lenses 1, 2, and 3 in the S direction are 0.95%, 0.46%, and 0.63%, respectively, and in the M direction are 0.81%, 0.49%, and 0.47%, respectively. This indicates that Lens 1's MTF peak value is less affected by surface shape change, indicating that Lens 1 has superior optical sensitivity.

[0067] Comprehensive sensitivity indicates the effect of surface shape variation on the lens's MTF peak. For example, referring to Table 2, the comprehensive sensitivities in the S direction for Lenses 1, 2, and 3 are -0.00865μm, -0.517μm, and -0.173μm, respectively, and in the M direction are -0.00714μm, -0.650μm, and -0.116μm, respectively. This indicates that Lens 1 experiences minimal surface shape variation, and its effect on the MTF peak is minimal. Consequently, Lens 1 exhibits a low comprehensive sensitivity and exhibits superior assembly stability.

[0068] Based on the above analysis, it can be seen that by ensuring that the optical imaging system satisfies "0.97≤(d2m-d2s) / T23≤2.79", the second side surface of the second lens can be guaranteed to have a smaller surface profile variation, thereby reducing the structural sensitivity and optical sensitivity of the optical imaging system, thereby reducing the overall sensitivity of the optical imaging system and improving the assembly stability of the optical imaging system.

[0069] In an exemplary embodiment, the radius of curvature R4 of the second side surface of the second lens, the outer diameter D2s of the first side surface of the second spacer element, and the refractive index N2 of the second lens satisfy the following equation: -2.78 ≤ R4 / (D2s × N2) ≤ -1.8. By controlling this conditional equation, the focal length of the second lens can be constrained within a certain range, thereby controlling the angle of incidence of light emitted from the second lens and reducing the angle of incidence of light on the display screen. Furthermore, the outer diameter of the first side surface of the second spacer element can be limited, improving the workability of the second spacer element.

[0070] In the example implementation, the maximum thickness CP2 of the second spacing element, the distance EP02 of the first side end surface of the lens barrel and the second spacing element along the optical axis, and the on-axis distance T23 from the second side surface of the second lens to the first side surface of the third lens satisfy: 10.07≤(CP2+EP02) / T23≤15.74. By controlling the above conditional expression, the center thickness and the edge thickness of the second lens and the third lens can be constrained in a reasonable range, on the basis of ensuring that the second lens and the third lens have good processability, the assembly stability of the two groups of cemented lenses is improved; at the same time, the on-axis distance from the second side surface of the second lens to the first side surface of the third lens can also be limited, the field curvature is effectively corrected, and the imaging quality of the optical imaging system is improved.

[0071] In the example implementation, the center thickness CT3 of the third lens along the optical axis, the center thickness CT4 of the fourth lens along the optical axis, the distance L of the first side end surface of the lens barrel and the second side end surface of the lens barrel along the optical axis, and the distance EP02 of the first side end surface of the lens barrel and the second spacing element along the optical axis satisfy: 0.72≤(CT3+CT4) / (L-EP02)≤1.4. By controlling the above conditional expression, the thickness ratio of the third lens and the fourth lens can be constrained in a reasonable range, which is beneficial to the molding and cementing of the third lens and the fourth lens; at the same time, the distance of the first side end surface of the lens barrel and the second side end surface of the lens barrel along the optical axis can also be limited, the total length of the optical imaging system is reduced, the weight of the optical imaging system is reduced, the miniaturization of the optical imaging system is realized, and the wearing experience of the user is improved.

[0072] In the example implementation, the radius of curvature R5 of the first side surface of the third lens and the inner diameter d2m of the second side surface of the second spacing element satisfy: 4.45≤R5 / d2m≤5.45. Reasonably configuring the ratio of the radius of curvature of the first side surface of the third lens and the inner diameter of the second side surface of the second spacing element can constrain the overall shape of the third lens, reduce the sensitivity of the third lens, and improve the assembly yield of the third lens; at the same time, the degree of refraction of light by the second spacing element and the third lens can also be matched, in the case that the second spacing element intercepts non-effective light, the occlusion of effective light by the second spacing element is reduced as much as possible, the stray light is reduced, and the light efficiency of the optical imaging system is improved.

[0073] In the example implementation, the effective focal length f2 of the second lens and the distance EP02 of the first side end surface of the lens barrel and the second spacing element along the optical axis satisfy: -25.74≤f2 / EP02≤-15.8. By controlling the above conditional expression, the power of the second lens can be reasonably distributed, the aberration contribution of the second lens can be effectively constrained, so that the aberration generated by the second lens is balanced with the aberration generated by other optical elements, and the aberration of the optical imaging system is ensured to be at a reasonable level; meanwhile, the maximum thickness of the second spacing element can also be limited, so that the second spacing element and the lens adjacent thereto are stably supported, and the assembly stability and assembly yield of the optical imaging system are improved.

[0074] In the example implementation, the curvature radius R2 of the second side surface of the first lens and the inner diameter d2s of the first side surface of the second spacing element satisfy: -2.00≤R2 / d2s≤-1.15. By controlling the above conditional expression, the overall shape of the first lens can be constrained, which is conducive to reducing the sensitivity of the first lens and improving the assembly yield of the first lens; meanwhile, the degree of refraction of light by the second spacing element and the first lens can be matched, and in the case that the second spacing element intercepts the non-effective light, the obstruction of the effective light by the second spacing element is reduced as much as possible, the stray light is reduced, and the light efficiency of the optical imaging system is improved.

[0075] In the example implementation, the curvature radius R6 of the second side surface of the third lens and the inner diameter d0m of the second side end surface of the lens barrel satisfy: 0.88≤R6 / d0m≤1.27. By controlling the above conditional expression, the overall shape of the third lens can be constrained, which is conducive to reducing the sensitivity of the third lens and improving the assembly yield of the third lens; meanwhile, the degree of refraction of light by the lens barrel and the third lens can be matched, and in the case that the lens barrel intercepts the non-effective light, the obstruction of the effective light by the lens barrel is reduced as much as possible, the stray light is reduced, and the light efficiency of the optical imaging system is improved, in addition, it is also conducive to the molding of the lens barrel and the assembly feasibility of the third lens.

[0076] In the example implementation, the distance L of the first side end surface of the lens barrel and the second side end surface of the lens barrel along the optical axis, the central thickness CT1 of the first lens on the optical axis, and the central thickness CT2 of the second lens on the optical axis satisfy: 2.53≤L / (CT1+CT2)≤3.89. By controlling the ratio of the distance of the first side end surface of the lens barrel and the second side end surface of the lens barrel along the optical axis to the sum of the central thicknesses of the first lens and the second lens within a certain range, the optical total length of the optical imaging system can be reduced, and miniaturization of the optical imaging system can be realized.

[0077] In the example embodiment, the combined focal length f34 of the third lens and the fourth lens and the outer diameter D0m of the second side end face of the lens barrel satisfy: 1.57≤f34 / D0m≤2.69. By controlling the above condition formula, the combined focal length of the third lens and the fourth lens can be constrained within a reasonable range, so that the cemented lens formed by cementing the third lens and the fourth lens produces negative spherical aberration and balances the positive spherical aberration produced by other lenses, thereby improving the imaging quality of the optical imaging system; at the same time, the outer diameter of the second side end face of the lens barrel can also be limited, which ensures that it plays a limiting role on the fourth lens while improving the processability of the lens barrel.

[0078] The optical imaging system according to the above embodiment of the present application can adopt multiple lenses, for example, the four lenses described above. By reasonably allocating the parameters of the linear polarizing film, the reflective polarizing element, the quarter-wave plate, the partial reflection layer, the lenses, the lens barrel, and the second spacing element, the body length of the optical imaging system can be reduced, and the processability, assembly stability, and imaging quality of the optical imaging system can be improved. The optical imaging system configured in the above manner has the characteristics of miniaturization and good imaging quality, and can well meet the use requirements of various portable electronic products in the projection scene. The optical imaging system and the electronic device containing the optical imaging system have a rear gravity center, which improves the wearing experience of the user.

[0079] In the example embodiment, at least one of the surfaces of each of the first lens to the fourth lens is a non-spherical surface. The characteristic of the non-spherical lens is that the curvature is continuously changed from the center of the lens to the periphery of the lens. Unlike the spherical lens which has a constant curvature from the center of the lens to the periphery of the lens, the non-spherical lens has better curvature radius characteristics, and has the advantages of improving the distortion aberration and improving the astigmatism aberration. After using the non-spherical lens, the aberration that occurs during imaging can be eliminated as much as possible, thereby improving the imaging quality.

[0080] The second aspect of the present application provides an optical imaging system which can include a lens barrel and an imaging group assembled in the lens barrel. The imaging group can include, in order from a first side to a second side along an optical axis, a linear polarizing film, a reflective polarizing element, a quarter-wave plate, a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, and a partial reflection layer. The optical imaging system has a number of lenses with optical power of four.

[0081] The combined focal length f34 of the third and fourth lenses and the outer diameter D0m of the second side end surface of the lens barrel satisfy the following condition: 1.57≤f34 / D0m≤2.69. By controlling this conditional expression, the combined focal length of the third and fourth lenses can be constrained within a reasonable range, resulting in negative spherical aberration in the cemented lens formed by the third and fourth lenses, which balances the positive spherical aberration generated by the other lenses, thereby improving the imaging quality of the optical imaging system. Furthermore, the outer diameter of the second side end surface of the lens barrel can be limited, ensuring that it serves as a position limit for the fourth lens while improving the machinability of the lens barrel.

[0082] Those skilled in the art should understand that, without departing from the technical solution claimed in the present application, the number of lenses and spacer elements constituting the optical imaging system can be changed to obtain the various results and advantages described in this specification.

[0094]

[0095] wherein x is the sag of the aspherical surface at a height h along the optical axis, c is the paraxial curvature of the aspherical surface, c = 1 / R (i.e., the paraxial curvature c is the inverse of the radius of curvature R in Table 3 above), k is the conic coefficient, and Ai is the correction coefficient of the i-th order of the aspherical surface.
