Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a lens, and in particular to an ultra-large aperture, low-distortion, large target surface, high-definition fixed-focus lens. Background Art

[0002] A major technical challenge facing the security surveillance and vehicle-mounted systems is improving image quality at night and in low-light conditions. One solution is to reduce the frame rate and extend the exposure time to improve image quality. However, this can result in blurred images for moving targets or in mobile environments, limiting its application. Another solution is to add infrared fill lights, currently the most common operating mode. This light compensates for insufficient ambient brightness and switches the camera to infrared mode. This mode offers the advantages of simplicity and ease of implementation. However, in real-world applications, infrared fill lights have a limited range, making it difficult to see targets outside their effective range. Furthermore, in certain scenarios, the fill light cannot be used to prevent exposure. Consequently, infrared fill light is no longer suitable for high-quality surveillance.

[0003] Advances in chip technology, the application of new photosensitive materials, and back-illumination techniques have significantly improved night vision image quality with high-sensitivity imaging chips. Pairing these with wide-aperture lenses can significantly improve night vision image quality. However, such applications are rare in existing technology. Furthermore, the typical wide-aperture lenses on the market typically have a maximum aperture of F1.4, with a limited number reaching F1.1 or below. However, these lenses exhibit significant distortion, often exceeding 20%, which can cause visual fatigue after prolonged observation. Furthermore, some plastic aspherical lenses can experience poor imaging performance at temperatures below -40°C.

[0004] Based on this, there is an urgent need to improve an ultra-large aperture, low distortion, large target area, high-definition fixed-focus lens that can achieve a larger aperture, smaller distortion, higher pixels, and a larger imaging target area to meet the observation of target scenes under low light conditions and below, thereby promoting the application development in the night vision field of the security and automotive markets.
