[0072] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0073] The features, principles and other aspects of the present application are described in detail below.

[0074] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens includes, for example, seven lenses having optical power, namely, a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, and a seventh lens, which are arranged in sequence from the object side to the image side along the optical axis.

[0075] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens may further include a photosensitive element disposed on the imaging surface. Optionally, the photosensitive element disposed on the imaging surface may be a charge coupled device (CCD) or a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS).

[0076] In an exemplary embodiment, the first lens may have a negative optical power. The first lens may have a convex-concave surface. This optical power setting of the first lens can prevent the object-side light from being too divergent, which is beneficial to controlling the aperture of the rear lens and realizing a miniaturized design. This surface setting of the first lens can collect as much light of a large field of view as possible, enter the rear optical system, and increase the amount of light passing through. The object side of the first lens is designed to be convex, which is beneficial to the sliding of water droplets in actual use environments such as rainy and snowy weather, reducing the impact on imaging. Preferably, the first lens has a higher refractive index (such as Nd1≥1.7) and a higher hardness, which is beneficial to reducing the front port aperture and improving the imaging quality.

[0077] In an exemplary embodiment, the second lens may have a negative optical power. The second lens may have a concave-convex surface. Such an optical power setting of the second lens is conducive to further diverging the light passing through the first lens. Such a surface setting of the second lens is conducive to a smooth transition of the light to the rear optical system. Preferably, the second lens has an aspherical mirror surface, which can improve the lens resolution.

[0078] In an exemplary embodiment, the third lens may have positive optical power. The third lens may have a convex-convex surface type or a convex-concave surface type. Such optical power and surface type of the third lens are conducive to light convergence. The third lens is preferably made of a high refractive index material (Nd3≥1.65), which is conducive to reducing the front port diameter and improving the imaging quality. Preferably, the third lens has an aspherical mirror surface, which can improve the lens resolution.

[0079] In an exemplary embodiment, the fourth lens may have positive optical power. The fourth lens may have a convex-convex surface. Such optical power and surface configuration of the fourth lens is conducive to converging light and making the light smoothly transition to the rear optical system. By controlling the effective focal length of the fourth lens, the light trend from the first lens to the fourth lens can be controlled, making the system structure compact. Preferably, the fourth lens has an aspherical surface.

[0080] Mirror can improve the resolution of the lens.

[0081] In an exemplary embodiment, the seventh lens may have positive power or negative power. The seventh lens may have a concave-convex, convex-concave, convex-convex or concave-concave surface type. Preferably, the seventh lens has an aspherical mirror surface, which can further improve the resolution quality and correct aberrations.

[0082] In an exemplary embodiment, at least two lenses among the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, and the seventh lens may have an aspherical mirror surface, which may improve lens resolution.

[0083] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens according to the present application may satisfy: TTL / F≤9, wherein TTL is the distance from the object side of the first lens to the imaging surface of the optical lens on the optical axis, and F is the total effective focal length of the optical lens. More specifically, TTL and F may further satisfy: TTL / F≤8.5. Satisfying TTL / F≤9 is conducive to miniaturization.

[0084] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens according to the present application may satisfy: TTL / H / FOV≤0.1, wherein TTL is the distance from the object side of the first lens to the imaging surface of the optical lens on the optical axis, H is the image height corresponding to the maximum field of view of the optical lens, and FOV is the maximum field of view of the optical lens. More specifically, TTL, H and FOV may further satisfy: TTL / H / FOV≤0.05. Satisfying TTL / H / FOV≤0.1 is conducive to miniaturization, and can make the lens size smaller under the same imaging surface and the same image height.

[0085] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens according to the present application may satisfy: D / H / FOV≤0.025, where D is the maximum aperture of the object side of the first lens corresponding to the maximum field of view of the optical lens, H is the image height corresponding to the maximum field of view of the optical lens, and FOV is the maximum field of view of the optical lens. More specifically, D, H, and FOV may further satisfy: D / H / FOV≤0.02. Satisfying D / H / FOV≤0.025 is conducive to a smaller front port diameter.

[0086] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens according to the present application may satisfy: 0.5≤|F+ / F-|≤3, where F+ is the effective focal length of the lens with positive power in the cemented lens, and F- is the effective focal length of the lens with negative power in the cemented lens. More specifically, F+ and F- may further satisfy: 0.8≤|F+ / F-|≤2.5. Satisfying 0.5≤|F+ / F-|≤3 makes the focal length values ​​of the lenses in the cemented part similar, which helps to smoothly transition the light and correct chromatic aberration.

[0087] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens according to the present application may satisfy: |F7 / F|≥1.5, where F7 is the effective focal length of the seventh lens and F is the total effective focal length of the optical lens. More specifically, F7 and F may further satisfy: |F7 / F|≥2. Satisfying |F7 / F|≥1.5 is helpful in correcting chromatic aberration.

[0088] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens according to the present application may satisfy: 0≤T67 / TTL≤0.2, wherein T67 is the distance between the sixth lens and the seventh lens on the optical axis, and TTL is the distance from the object side of the first lens to the imaging surface of the optical lens on the optical axis. More specifically, T67 and TTL may further satisfy: 0.01≤T67 / TTL≤0.1. Satisfying 0≤T67 / TTL≤0.2 facilitates the assembly of the optical lens and helps improve ghost images.

[0089] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens according to the present application may satisfy: |R3-R4-d3|≥1.5mm, where R3 is the radius of curvature of the object side of the second lens, R4 is the radius of curvature of the image side of the second lens, and d3 is the center thickness of the second lens on the optical axis. More specifically, R3, R4 and d3 may further satisfy: |R3-R4-d3|≥1.8mm. Satisfying |R3-R4-d3|≥1.5mm helps to smoothly transition the light and facilitates processing.

[0090] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens according to the present application may satisfy: 0.05≤d3 / TTL≤0.3, wherein d3 is the center thickness of the second lens on the optical axis, and TTL is the distance from the object side of the first lens to the imaging surface of the optical lens on the optical axis. More specifically, d3 and TTL may further satisfy: 0.1≤d3 / TTL≤0.25. Satisfying 0.05≤d3 / TTL≤0.3 helps light to pass smoothly through the second lens.

[0091] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens according to the present application may satisfy: (FOV×F) / H≤70, where FOV is the maximum field of view of the optical lens, F is the total effective focal length of the optical lens, and H is the image height corresponding to the maximum field of view of the optical lens. More specifically, FOV, F, and H may further satisfy: (FOV×F) / H≤65. Satisfying (FOV×F) / H≤70 is conducive to the optical lens having less distortion and can match a larger chip.

[0092] like Fig. 9 A schematic diagram of the vector height SAG of the object side surface S of the lens E of the present application is shown. D is the half-aperture of the maximum clear aperture of the object side surface S of the lens E corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens, and the vector height SAG is the distance A on the optical axis from the intersection a of the object side surface S of the lens E and the optical axis to the maximum clear aperture of the object side surface S of the lens E. In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens according to the present application may satisfy: 0.5≤arctan(SAG3 / D3) / arctan(SAG4 / D4)≤3, wherein D3 is the half-aperture of the maximum clear aperture of the object side surface of the second lens corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens, SAG3 is the distance on the optical axis from the intersection of the object side surface of the second lens and the optical axis to the maximum clear aperture of the object side surface of the second lens, D4 is the half-aperture of the maximum clear aperture of the image side surface of the second lens corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens, and SAG4 is the distance on the optical axis from the intersection of the image side surface of the second lens and the optical axis to the maximum clear aperture of the image side surface of the second lens. More specifically, SAG3, D3, SAG4 and D4 may further satisfy: 1≤arctan(SAG3 / D3) / arctan(SAG4 / D4)≤2.5. Satisfying 0.5≤arctan(SAG3 / D3) / arctan(SAG4 / D4)≤3 is conducive to smooth transition of peripheral light and to reducing lens sensitivity.

[0093] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens according to the present application may satisfy: Vd+ / Nd+≥40, wherein Nd+ is the refractive index of the lens with positive power in the cemented lens, and Vd+ is the Abbe number of the lens with positive power in the cemented lens. More specifically, Vd+ and Nd+ may further satisfy: Vd+ / Nd+≥50. Satisfying Vd+ / Nd+≥40 makes the lens with positive power in the cemented piece preferably made of ultra-low refractive index and ultra-low dispersion materials, which is beneficial for correcting chromatic aberration.

[0094] In an exemplary embodiment, a stop for limiting the light beam may be provided between the third lens and the fourth lens to further improve the imaging quality of the optical lens. Setting the stop between the third lens and the fourth lens is conducive to increasing the stop aperture, effectively converging the light entering the optical lens, and reducing the lens aperture. In an embodiment of the present application, the stop may be provided near the image side surface of the third lens, or near the object side surface of the fourth lens. However, it should be noted that the position of the stop disclosed herein is only an example and not a limitation; in alternative embodiments, the stop may also be provided at other positions according to actual needs.

[0095] In an exemplary embodiment, as needed, the optical lens according to the present application may further include a filter disposed between the seventh lens and the imaging plane to filter light with different wavelengths. The optical lens according to the present application may further include a protective glass disposed between the seventh lens and the imaging plane to prevent the image-side element (e.g., chip) of the optical lens from being damaged.

[0096] As known to those skilled in the art, cemented lenses can be used to minimize or eliminate chromatic aberration. Using cemented lenses in optical lenses can improve image quality and reduce reflection loss of light energy, thereby achieving high resolution and improving the clarity of lens imaging. In addition, the use of cemented lenses can also simplify the assembly process during the lens manufacturing process.

[0097] In an exemplary embodiment, the fifth lens and the sixth lens are glued together to form a glued lens. The fifth lens and the sixth lens have opposite optical powers. For example, if the fifth lens has positive optical power, the sixth lens has negative optical power; or if the fifth lens has negative optical power, the sixth lens has positive optical power. The lens with positive optical power is preferably a lens of low refractive index and low dispersion material, which is beneficial to eliminate chromatic aberration. The fifth lens with a concave image side surface is glued with the sixth lens with a convex object side surface, or the fifth lens with a convex image side surface is glued with the sixth lens with a concave object side surface, which is beneficial to correct various aberrations of the optical system, and realize the improvement of system resolution, optimization of distortion and CRA and other optical performances under the premise of compact optical system structure. The above-mentioned gluing method between lenses has at least one of the following advantages: reducing the self-chromatic aberration, reducing the tolerance sensitivity, and balancing the overall chromatic aberration of the system through the residual partial chromatic aberration; reducing the spacing between the two lenses, thereby reducing the total length of the system; reducing the assembly components between the lenses, thereby reducing the process and reducing costs; reducing the tolerance sensitivity problems such as tilt / eccentricity caused by the lens unit during the assembly process, and improving the production yield; reducing the light loss caused by reflection between lenses, and improving the illumination; further reducing the field curvature, and effectively correcting the off-axis point aberration of the optical lens. Such a gluing design shares the overall chromatic aberration correction of the system, effectively corrects the aberration to improve the resolution, and makes the overall optical system compact to meet the requirements of miniaturization.

[0098] In an exemplary embodiment, the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, the fifth lens, the sixth lens and the seventh lens may all have an aspherical mirror surface. The characteristic of the aspherical lens is that the curvature changes continuously from the center of the lens to the periphery. Unlike a spherical lens with a constant curvature from the center of the lens to the periphery, the aspherical lens has a better curvature radius characteristic and has the advantages of improving distortion aberration and improving astigmatism aberration. After adopting the aspherical lens, the aberration that occurs during imaging can be eliminated as much as possible, thereby improving the imaging quality of the lens. The setting of the aspherical lens helps to correct the system aberration and improve the resolution. Specifically, at least one lens among the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, the fifth lens, the sixth lens and the seventh lens is an aspherical lens, which is beneficial to improving the resolution quality of the optical system.

[0099] According to the optical lens of the above-mentioned embodiment of the present application, by reasonably setting the shape and focal length of each lens, the optical system can achieve at least one beneficial effect of small chromatic aberration, high resolution (up to more than 8 million pixels), miniaturization, small distortion, small front port diameter, small ghost image and good imaging quality when only 7 lenses are used. At the same time, the optical system also takes into account the low-cost requirements of small lens volume, low sensitivity and high production yield. The optical lens also has a long focal length, and the central area has a large angular resolution, which can improve the recognition of environmental objects and specifically increase the detection area of ​​the central part. At the same time, the optical lens has good temperature adaptability, small changes in imaging effects under high and low temperature environments, and stable image quality.

[0100] According to the optical lens of the above-mentioned embodiment of the present application, a cemented lens is provided to share the overall chromatic aberration correction of the system, which is beneficial for correcting the system aberration, improving the system resolution quality, reducing the coordination sensitivity problem, and making the overall structure of the optical system compact to meet the miniaturization requirements.

[0101] In an exemplary embodiment, the first to seventh lenses in the optical lens may all be made of glass. An optical lens made of glass can suppress the deviation of the back focus of the optical lens with temperature changes to improve system stability. At the same time, the use of glass material can avoid lens imaging blur caused by high and low temperature changes in the use environment, which affects the normal use of the lens. Specifically, when focusing on resolution quality and reliability, the first to seventh lenses may all be glass aspherical lenses. Of course, in applications where temperature stability requirements are lower, the first to seventh lenses in the optical lens may also all be made of plastic. Using plastic to make optical lenses can effectively reduce production costs.

[0102] However, those skilled in the art should understand that, without departing from the technical solution claimed in the present application, the number of lenses constituting the lens can be changed to obtain the various results and advantages described in this specification. For example, although seven lenses are described as an example in the embodiment, the optical lens is not limited to including seven lenses. If necessary, the optical lens may also include other numbers of lenses.
