Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an optical element, and more particularly to an optical imaging lens. Prior Technology
[0002] The specifications of consumer electronics products are constantly evolving, and the pursuit of thinner and smaller designs has never slowed down. Therefore, key components of electronic products, such as optical lenses, must continuously improve in terms of specifications to meet consumer demands. The most important characteristics of optical lenses are image quality and size; in addition, features such as improved field of view and wider aperture are becoming increasingly important. Regarding image quality, with the advancement of image sensing technology, consumers' requirements for image quality will also increase. Therefore, in the field of optical lens design, in addition to pursuing lens thinness, it is also necessary to consider lens image quality and performance.
[0003] However, optical lens design is not simply a matter of scaling down a high-quality lens to create one that combines image quality with miniaturization. The design process involves not only material properties but also practical production considerations such as manufacturing and assembly yield. In particular, the technical difficulty of miniaturized lenses is significantly higher than that of traditional lenses. Therefore, how to manufacture optical lenses that meet the needs of consumer electronics products and continuously improve their image quality has long been a goal that industry, government, and academia in this field have been striving to achieve.

Implementation
[0012] The optical system described in this specification includes at least one lens that receives imaging rays incident on the optical system, ranging from parallel to the optical axis to within a half-field of view (HFOV) angle relative to the optical axis. The imaging rays are imaged on an imaging plane by the optical system. The phrase "a lens has a positive refractive index (or a negative refractive index)" means that the paraxial refractive index of the lens, calculated using Gaussian optics theory, is positive (or negative). The phrase "object-side (or image-side) of the lens" is defined as the specific range through which the imaging rays pass on the lens surface. The imaging rays include at least two types of rays: the chief ray (Lc) and the marginal ray (Lm) (as shown in Figure 1). The object-side (or image-side) of the lens can be divided into different regions depending on its location, including the optical axis region, the circumferential region, or one or more relay regions in some embodiments, which will be described in detail below.
[0013] Figure 1 is a radial sectional view of lens 100. Two reference points are defined on the surface of lens 100: a center point and a transition point. The center point of the lens surface is the intersection of the surface with the optical axis I. As illustrated in Figure 1, the first center point CP1 is located on the object-side surface 110 of lens 100, and the second center point CP2 is located on the image-side surface 120 of lens 100. A transition point is a point on the lens surface whose tangent is perpendicular to the optical axis I. The optical boundary OB of the lens surface is defined as the point where the outermost radially outermost edge ray Lm passing through the lens surface intersects the lens surface. All transition points are located between the optical axis I and the optical boundary OB of the lens surface. In addition, if a single lens surface has multiple transition points, these transition points are named sequentially from the first transition point in the radially outward direction. For example, the first transition point TP1 (closest to the optical axis I), the second transition point TP2 (as shown in Figure 4), and the Nth transition point (farthest from the optical axis I).
[0014] The region from the center point to the first conversion point TP1 is defined as the optical axis region, which includes the center point. The region radially outward from the Nth conversion point farthest from the optical axis I to the optical boundary OB is defined as the circumferential region. In some embodiments, a relay region may be additionally included between the optical axis region and the circumferential region; the number of relay regions depends on the number of conversion points.
[0015] When a ray parallel to optical axis I passes through a region, if the ray bends towards optical axis I and the intersection point with optical axis I is located on the image side A2 of the lens, then that region is a convex surface. When a ray parallel to optical axis I passes through a region, if the extension of the ray intersects optical axis I at the object side A1 of the lens, then that region is a concave surface.
[0016] In addition, referring to Figure 1, lens 100 may also include an assembly portion 130 extending radially outward from optical boundary OB. Assembly portion 130 is generally used for assembling lens 100 to a corresponding element (not shown) in an optical system. Imaging rays do not reach assembly portion 130. The structure and shape of assembly portion 130 are merely illustrative examples of the invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Assembly portion 130 of the lens discussed below may be partially or entirely omitted in the figures.
[0017] Referring to Figure 2, the region between the center point CP and the first conversion point TP1 is defined as the optical axis region Z1. The region between the first conversion point TP1 and the optical boundary OB of the lens surface is defined as the circumferential region Z2. As shown in Figure 2, after passing through the optical axis region Z1, the parallel ray 211 intersects the optical axis I on the image side A2 of the lens 200, meaning the focal point of the parallel ray 211 passing through the optical axis region Z1 is located at point R on the image side A2 of the lens 200. Since the ray intersects the optical axis I on the image side A2 of the lens 200, the optical axis region Z1 is convex. Conversely, the parallel ray 212 diverges after passing through the circumferential region Z2. As shown in Figure 2, the extension line EL of the parallel ray 212 after passing through the circumferential region Z2 intersects the optical axis I on the object side A1 of the lens 200, meaning the focal point of the parallel ray 212 passing through the circumferential region Z2 is located at point M on the object side A1 of the lens 200. Since the extension line EL of the light ray intersects the optical axis I at the object side A1 of the lens 200, the circumferential region Z2 is concave. In the lens 200 shown in Figure 2, the first conversion point TP1 is the boundary between the optical axis region and the circumferential region, that is, the first conversion point TP1 is the boundary point between the convex surface and the concave surface.
[0018] On the other hand, the convexity / concavity of the optical axis region can also be determined using the method commonly used by those knowledgeable in the field: judging the convexity / concavity of the lens's optical axis region by the sign of the paraxial radius of curvature (R value). The R value is commonly used in optical design software, such as Zemax or CodeV. It is also frequently found in lens data sheets within optical design software. For the object-side, a positive R value indicates a convex optical axis region, while a negative R value indicates a concave optical axis region. Conversely, for the image-side, a positive R value indicates a concave optical axis region, while a negative R value indicates a convex optical axis region. This method yields results consistent with the aforementioned method using the intersection of a ray / ray extension with the optical axis, where the focal point of a ray parallel to the optical axis is located on either the object-side or image-side of the lens to determine the convexity / concavity. The terms "a region is convex (or concave)," "a region is convex (or concave)," or "a convex (or concave) region" used in this specification may be used interchangeably.
[0019] Figures 3 to 5 provide examples of determining the surface shape and region boundaries of the lens region in various situations, including the aforementioned optical axis region, circumferential region, and relay region.
[0020] Figure 3 is a radial sectional view of lens 300. Referring to Figure 3, the image-side surface 320 of lens 300 has only one transition point TP1 within the optical boundary OB. The optical axis region Z1 and the circumferential region Z2 of the image-side surface 320 of lens 300 are shown in Figure 3. The R value of this image-side surface 320 is positive (i.e., R>0), therefore, the optical axis region Z1 is concave.
[0021] Generally, the surface shape of each region bounded by the transition point will be opposite to that of the adjacent region. Therefore, the transition point can be used to define the change in surface shape, that is, from the transition point, the surface changes from concave to convex or from convex to concave. In Figure 3, since the optical axis region Z1 is concave, and the surface shape changes at the transition point TP1, the circumferential region Z2 is convex.
[0022] Figure 4 is a radial sectional view of lens 400. Referring to Figure 4, the object-side surface 410 of lens 400 has a first conversion point TP1 and a second conversion point TP2. The area between the optical axis I and the first conversion point TP1 is defined as the optical axis region Z1 of the object-side surface 410. The R value of this object-side surface 410 is positive (i.e., R>0), therefore, the optical axis region Z1 is a convex surface.
[0023] The area between the second conversion point TP2 and the optical boundary OB of the object side surface 410 of the lens 400 is defined as a circular region Z2, which is also a convex surface. In addition, the area between the first conversion point TP1 and the second conversion point TP2 is defined as a relay region Z3, which is also a concave surface. Referring again to Figure 4, the object side surface 410, radially outward from the optical axis I, sequentially includes the optical axis region Z1 between the optical axis I and the first conversion point TP1, the relay region Z3 between the first conversion point TP1 and the second conversion point TP2, and the circular region Z2 between the second conversion point TP2 and the optical boundary OB of the object side surface 410 of the lens 400. Since the optical axis region Z1 is convex, and its surface shape changes from the first conversion point TP1 to concave, the relay region Z3 is concave. Furthermore, its surface shape changes back to convex from the second conversion point TP2, so the circular region Z2 is convex.
[0024] Figure 5 is a radial sectional view of lens 500. The object-side surface 510 of lens 500 has no transition point. For a lens surface without a transition point, such as the object-side surface 510 of lens 500, the optical axis region is defined as 0-50% of the distance from the optical axis I to the optical boundary OB of the lens surface, and the circumferential region is defined as 50-100% of the distance from the optical axis I to the optical boundary OB of the lens surface. Referring to the lens 500 shown in Figure 5, the optical axis region Z1 of the object-side surface 510 is defined as 50% of the distance from the optical axis I to the optical boundary OB of the lens surface. The R value of this object-side surface 510 is positive (i.e., R>0), therefore, the optical axis region Z1 is convex. Since the object-side surface 510 of lens 500 has no transition point, the circumferential region Z2 of the object-side surface 510 is also convex. Lens 500 may further have an assembly portion (not shown) extending radially outward from the circumferential region Z2.

When light emitted from an object to be photographed enters the optical imaging lens 10 and passes through the aperture 0, the first lens 1, the second lens 2, the third lens 3, the fourth lens 4, the fifth lens 5, the sixth lens 6, the seventh lens 7, and the filter 9 in sequence, an image is formed on an image plane 99. The filter 9 is disposed between the seventh lens 7 and the image plane 99. It should be noted that the object side A1 is the side facing the object to be photographed, while the image side A2 is the side facing the image plane 99.
[0026] In this embodiment, the first lens 1, second lens 2, third lens 3, fourth lens 4, fifth lens 5, sixth lens 6, seventh lens 7, and filter 9 of the optical imaging lens 10 each have an object-side surface 15, 25, 35, 45, 55, 65, 75, 95 facing the object side A1 and allowing imaging light to pass through, and an image-side surface 16, 26, 36, 46, 56, 66, 76, 96 facing the image side A2 and allowing imaging light to pass through.

Furthermore, the optical imaging lens 10 can be designed to utilize the concave circular region 654 on the object-side surface 65 of the sixth lens 6 and the convex optical axis region 661 on its image-side surface 66, which helps correct aberrations.
[0090] Third, by combining the first lens 1, the third lens 3, and the fourth lens 4, the material of these lenses can meet the condition of -10.000≦V1-(V3+V4), which can shorten the length of the lens system and ensure the image quality. The preferred range of V1-(V3+V4) is -10.000 to 20.000.
