Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an optical element, and more particularly to an optical imaging lens. Prior Technology
[0002] In recent years, optical imaging lenses have continuously evolved, with applications becoming increasingly diverse. Besides requiring lenses to be lightweight and compact, smaller aperture values (Fno) are beneficial for increasing light throughput, and a wider field of view is also becoming a trend. Furthermore, to successfully capture images in low-light conditions, the lens's image height must be increased, allowing for the use of larger image sensors to receive imaging light and meet high-resolution requirements. Simultaneously, market standards for lens chromatic aberration and aberration reduction are becoming increasingly stringent. Therefore, designing an optical imaging lens that combines lightweight compactness with a small aperture, wide field of view, large image height, and excellent image quality has become a challenge and a problem that must be solved.

[0010] The terms "optical axis region," "circumferential region," "concave surface," and "convex surface" used in this specification and the claims should be interpreted based on the definitions listed in this specification.
[0011] 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-angle of view (HFOV) relative to the optical axis. The imaging rays are imaged on an imaging plane by the optical system. The statement "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 statement "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.
[0012] 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 an 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, the surface of lens 100 may have no transition points or at least one transition point. 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).
[0013] When the lens surface has at least one transition point, the area from the center point to the first transition point TP1 is defined as the optical axis region, which includes the center point. The area radially outward from the transition point farthest from optical axis I (the Nth transition point) to the optical boundary OB is defined as the circumferential region. In some embodiments, a relay region may be included between the optical axis region and the circumferential region; the number of relay regions depends on the number of transition points. When the lens surface does not have a transition point, 0% to 50% of the distance from optical axis I to the optical boundary OB of the lens surface is defined as the optical axis region, and 50% to 100% of the distance from optical axis I to the optical boundary OB of the lens surface is defined as the circumferential region.
[0014] 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.
[0015] 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.
[0016] 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.
[0017] 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.
[0018] 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.
[0019] 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.
[0020] 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, the surface shape changes at the transition point TP1, so the circumferential region Z2 is convex.
[0021] 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.
[0022] 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.
[0023] 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% to 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% to 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.

Figures 7A to 7D are diagrams of longitudinal spherical aberration and various aberrations of the optical imaging lens of the first embodiment.

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, an image is formed on an image plane 99. The filter 9 is disposed between the image side 76 of 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. In this embodiment, filter 9 is an infrared cut filter.
[0025] 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.

The system length refers to the distance from the object side surface 15 of the first lens 1 to the imaging surface 99 on the optical axis I.
[0035] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the object-side surfaces 15, 25, 35, 45, 55, 65, 75 and the image-side surfaces 16, 26, 36, 46, 56, 66, 76 of the first lens 1, second lens 2, third lens 3, fourth lens 4, fifth lens 5, sixth lens 6 and seventh lens 7, totaling fourteen surfaces, are aspherical.

Furthermore, the combination of materials with V3+V4+V5+V6+V7≦195.000 further eliminates the chromatic aberration caused by the first lens 1 and the second lens 2, giving the optical imaging lens 10 excellent imaging quality. The optimal range for V3+V4+V5+V6+V7 is 135.000≦V3+V4+V5+V6+V7≦195.000.

The preferred implementation range of V4+V5+V6+V7 is 120.000≦V4+V5+V6+V7≦170.000.
[0072] In addition, when the first lens 1 has a positive refractive index, it allows light rays at large angles to enter the optical imaging system smoothly.

When the materials of the fourth lens 4 to the seventh lens 7 satisfy V4+V5+V6+V7≦170.000, chromatic aberration can be effectively eliminated and unnecessary stray light reduced. Combined with the ratio limit of D22t71 / D42t61≧3.600, the lens size can be effectively controlled, achieving a lightweight effect. The optimal ranges for V4+V5+V6+V7 and D22t71 / D42t61 are 120.000≦V4+V5+V6+V7≦170.000 and 3.600≦D22t71 / D42t61≦8.600, respectively.
