AI Technical Summary
When existing optical lenses change in the environment (such as temperature and humidity), axial deviation between the lens and the through-hole element is prone to occur on the imaging optical path, resulting in a decrease in imaging quality.
An imaging lens is designed, which includes a first lens and a through-hole element. The through-hole element surrounds the imaging optical path and forms a through-hole, facing the object side or image side solids of the first lens. The first and second conical surfaces of the through-hole element are surrounded by the imaging optical path as the axis. By adjusting the contact relationship between the conical surface and the lens at different temperatures and humidity, secondary alignment is achieved and the risk of axial offset is reduced.
By aligning the lens and through-hole elements under different environmental conditions, the resistance of the imaging lens to changes in external factors is improved, the risk of axial offset is reduced, and the imaging quality is improved.

[0002] With the further improvement of semiconductor process technology, the performance of electronic photosensitive elements has been improved, and pixels can reach a smaller size. Therefore, an optical lens with high imaging quality has become an indispensable part. In addition, with the rapid development of technology, the application range of mobile phone devices equipped with optical lenses is more extensive, and the requirements for optical lenses are also more diverse.

[0125] The detailed features and advantages of the present invention are described in detail in the following embodiments. The content is sufficient for any person skilled in the relevant art to understand the technical content of the present invention and implement it accordingly. And according to the content, protection scope and drawings disclosed in this specification, any person skilled in the relevant art can easily understand the relevant purposes and advantages of the present invention. The following embodiments further illustrate the viewpoints of the present invention in detail, but do not limit the scope of the present invention in any way.
[0126] The present invention provides an imaging lens, which includes a first lens and a through-hole element. The first lens has an optical portion, and an imaging optical path of the imaging lens passes through the optical portion. The through-hole element surrounds the imaging optical path and forms a through-hole, and the through-hole element faces and physically contacts the object side or the image side of the first lens.
[0127] One side of the through-hole element facing the first lens includes a first conical surface, a second conical surface and a bearing surface. The first conical surface surrounds the imaging optical path with the imaging optical path as the axis. The second conical surface surrounds the imaging optical path with the imaging optical path as the axis, and the second conical surface is closer to the through-hole than the first conical surface. The bearing surface is substantially perpendicular to the imaging optical path, and the bearing surface physically contacts the first lens. Wherein, the through-hole element can have the function of light shielding, used to shield or absorb non-imaging light, thereby improving the imaging quality. In addition, the through-hole element can have functions such as maintaining the lens spacing and fixing the lens.
[0128] When the imaging lens is in a first environment, the first conical surface is in solid contact with the first lens, the second conical surface is spaced from the first lens, and the through hole is aligned with the optical part. When the imaging lens is in a second environment, the second conical surface is in solid contact with the first lens, the first conical surface is spaced from the first lens, and the through hole is aligned with the optical part. Among them, the first environment and the second environment have at least one of the following relationships: a temperature dependence relationship, where the temperature of the first environment is Ta and the temperature of the second environment is Tb, which satisfies the following conditions: 6 Kelvin (K) ≤ |Ta - Tb| ≤ 198 K; and a humidity dependence relationship, where the relative humidity of the first environment is RHa and the relative humidity of the second environment is RHb, which satisfies the following conditions: 14% ≤ |RHa - RHb| ≤ 81%. Further explanation, the through hole element and the lens have different volume change ratios in the first environment and the second environment. The reason can be that the through hole element and the lens have different thermal expansion coefficients, or that the through hole element and the lens have different water absorption rates or different sensitivities of humidity to volume change, or that the spatial configuration of the imaging lens causes a gradient change in temperature or humidity inside the imaging lens resulting in different volume change ratios, and the through hole element and the lens can further be of the same material. Thereby, the relative radial offset between the lens and the through hole element is restricted at different temperatures and / or different humidities to achieve the function of secondary alignment, which can reduce the risk of axial offset. And, by the feature that the first conical surface and the second conical surface do not contact the lens body simultaneously, the interference of the mechanism on the cooperation between the lenses can be avoided. Among them, in the case where the first environment and the second environment have a temperature dependence relationship, the following conditions can also be satisfied: 10 K ≤ |Ta - Tb| ≤ 100 K. Among them, in the case where the first environment and the second environment have a temperature dependence relationship, the following conditions can also be satisfied: 15 K ≤ |Ta - Tb| ≤ 50 K. Among them, in the case where the first environment and the second environment have a humidity dependence relationship, the following conditions can also be satisfied: 20% ≤ |RHa - RHb| ≤ 60%. The statement "when the imaging lens is in an environment" can be defined as that the imaging lens is set in the environment for a period of time and there is no obvious "changing" situation. For example, in the case of the temperature dependence relationship, it can mean that the imaging lens is set at a specific environmental temperature for a period of time, and it is confirmed that there is basically no obvious heating or cooling in this environment, for example, the temperature difference is maintained within 6 K.
[0129] Through the above configuration, when the imaging lens is affected by environmental changes, the alignment between the lens and the through hole element on the imaging optical path can be maintained, and the cooperation can be maintained when the environment is restored, thereby improving the resistance of the imaging lens to changes in external factors. And, the imaging lens can further resist external forces such as dropping impact and vibration. In addition, the bearing surface of the through hole element is in solid contact with the first lens under the condition of environmental change. The environmental change can be temperature change, humidity change or a long-term high temperature and high humidity environment, etc.
[0130] The first lens may further include a first corresponding conical surface and a second corresponding conical surface. The first corresponding conical surface is disposed corresponding to the first conical surface, and the second corresponding conical surface is disposed corresponding to the second conical surface. Wherein, in a cross-section perpendicular to the imaging optical path and passing through the first conical surface, the first corresponding conical surface, the second conical surface, and the second corresponding conical surface, the shortest distance between the first conical surface and the second conical surface is D, and the shortest distance between the first corresponding conical surface and the second corresponding conical surface is d, which may satisfy the following conditions: 0.2 μm ≤ |D - d| ≤ 19.8 μm. Thus, by controlling the spacing distance (|D - d|) between the conical surfaces, an optimized design can be made for the actual situation. Among them, the following conditions may also be satisfied: 1.0 μm ≤ |D - d| ≤ 9.8 μm. Among them, the following conditions may also be satisfied: 2.0 μm ≤ |D - d| ≤ 3.5 μm. Please refer to Figure 6 , which is a schematic diagram showing the parameters D and d in the first embodiment of the present invention.
[0131] The first lens may further include an opaque portion, and the opaque portion surrounds the optical portion and forms the first corresponding conical surface and the second corresponding conical surface. Thus, the opaque portion can further block non-imaging light from entering the electronic photosensitive element to form glare, thereby improving the imaging quality. The opaque portion and the optical portion may be integrally formed into the first lens by two-shot molding. The opaque portion and the optical portion may be of the same material, and the opaque portion is formed by adding an opaque pigment. Thus, the bonding property between the opaque portion and the optical portion is improved. The opaque portion and the optical portion may also be of different materials, and the opaque portion and the optical portion may be further combined by an embedding method. Thus, the bonding property between the optical portion and the opaque portion is improved.
[0132] The included angle between the first conical surface and the second conical surface in a cross-section parallel to the imaging optical path is θ, which may satisfy the following conditions: 12° ≤ θ ≤ 145°. Thus, the force direction between the lens and the through-hole element can be controlled to avoid bending during expansion and contraction. Among them, the following conditions may also be satisfied: 15° ≤ θ ≤ 90°. Among them, the following conditions may also be satisfied: 20° ≤ θ ≤ 60°. Please refer to Figure 6 , which is a schematic diagram showing the parameter θ in the first embodiment of the present invention.
[0133] The imaging lens disclosed in the present invention may further include a second lens. The through-hole element may further include an inner side surface. The inner side surface surrounds the imaging optical path and forms a through hole, and the second lens is disposed in the through hole and is in physical contact with the inner side surface. Thus, the through-hole element can simultaneously have the functions of blocking non-imaging light and fixing the lens, thereby reducing the use of parts and improving production efficiency.
[0134] The through-hole element may further include an anti-reflection structure, and the anti-reflection structure covers at least a part of the inner side surface. Thereby, the anti-reflection structure can reduce the glare formed by the non-imaging light reflected by the inner side surface. Among them, the anti-reflection structure can be a peak-valley structure with multiple protrusions. In addition, the anti-reflection structure can also be a coating with light-absorbing properties, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0135] The second lens and the through-hole element can be integrally formed by secondary injection molding. Thereby, the secondary injection molding can reduce the assembly process of the second lens and the through-hole element and further reduce the assembly tolerance.
[0136] The first lens can be a reflective lens, which sequentially includes an incident light surface, at least one reflective surface and an exit light surface from the object side to the image side along the imaging optical path, and the imaging optical path turns at at least one reflective surface. Thereby, the lens can further have the function of turning the optical path, so as to reduce the height of the imaging lens.
[0137] The imaging lens disclosed by the present invention can further include a light-shielding element, and the light-shielding element is disposed between the first lens and the through-hole element. Thereby, the light-shielding element can block the non-imaging light to reduce the generation of glare, which helps to improve the imaging quality.
[0138] At least one of the first conical surface and the second conical surface may not completely surround the imaging optical path. Thereby, the size of the imaging lens can be reduced to further reduce the size of the electronic device. In addition, it can also correspond to non-circular lenses (such as prisms or lenses with reduced surfaces) and through-hole elements. Among them, the first conical surface and the second conical surface can be in a C shape.
[0139] The through-hole element can be an opaque component. For example, the through-hole element can be an opaque plastic part, ceramic part or metal part, but the present invention is not limited to the materials listed above.
[0140] The imaging lens disclosed by the present invention can further include a third lens, wherein the third lens is spaced from the first lens, and the through-hole element is disposed between the first lens and the third lens. Thereby, the through-hole element can have the function of spacing the two lenses.
[0141] The imaging lens disclosed above includes a through-hole element that can be used to limit the radial offset of the lens, but the physical contact between the through-hole element and the lens is not used to limit the present invention. The present invention further provides an imaging lens, which includes a first through-hole element and a second through-hole element. The first through-hole element surrounds an imaging optical path of the imaging lens and forms a first through-hole. The second through-hole element surrounds the imaging optical path and forms a second through-hole, and the second through-hole element faces and physically contacts the object side or the image side of the first through-hole element.
[0142] One side of the first through-hole element facing the second through-hole element includes a first conical surface, a second conical surface, and a bearing surface. The first conical surface surrounds the imaging optical path with the imaging optical path as the axis. The second conical surface surrounds the imaging optical path with the imaging optical path as the axis, and the second conical surface is closer to the first through-hole than the first conical surface. The bearing surface is substantially perpendicular to the imaging optical path, and the bearing surface is in physical contact with the second through-hole element. Among them, the through-hole element can have the function of light shielding, used to block or absorb non-imaging light, thereby improving the imaging quality. In addition, the through-hole element can have functions such as maintaining the lens spacing and fixing the lens.
[0143] When the imaging lens is in a first environment, the first conical surface is in physical contact with the second through-hole element, the second conical surface is spaced from the second through-hole element, and the first through-hole is aligned with the second through-hole. When the imaging lens is in a second environment, the second conical surface is in physical contact with the second through-hole element, the first conical surface is spaced from the second through-hole element, and the first through-hole is aligned with the second through-hole. Among them, the first environment and the second environment have at least one of the following relationships: a temperature dependence relationship, where the temperature of the first environment is Ta and the temperature of the second environment is Tb, and they satisfy the following conditions: 6K ≤ |Ta - Tb| ≤ 198K; and a humidity dependence relationship, where the relative humidity of the first environment is RHa and the relative humidity of the second environment is RHb, and they satisfy the following conditions: 14% ≤ |RHa - RHb| ≤ 81%. Thereby, the relative radial offset amount between the through-hole elements is restricted from each other at different temperatures and / or different humidities to achieve the effect of secondary alignment, and the risk of axial offset can be reduced. And, due to the characteristic that the first conical surface and the second conical surface do not come into physical contact with the second through-hole element simultaneously, the cooperation between the lenses can be prevented from being affected by mechanical interference. Among them, in the case where the first environment and the second environment have a temperature dependence relationship, the following conditions can also be satisfied: 10K ≤ |Ta - Tb| ≤ 100K. Among them, in the case where the first environment and the second environment have a temperature dependence relationship, the following conditions can also be satisfied: 15K ≤ |Ta - Tb| ≤ 50K. Among them, in the case where the first environment and the second environment have a humidity dependence relationship, the following conditions can also be satisfied: 20% ≤ |RHa - RHb| ≤ 60%.
[0144] Through the above configuration, when the imaging lens is affected by environmental changes, the alignment of the through-hole elements on the imaging optical path can be maintained, and the cooperation can be maintained when the environment recovers, thereby improving the resistance of the imaging lens to changes in external factors. And, the imaging lens can further resist external forces such as dropping impact and vibration. In addition, the bearing surface of the first through-hole element remains in physical contact with the second through-hole element under the condition of environmental change. The environmental change can be temperature change, humidity change, or a long-term high-temperature and high-humidity environment, etc.
[0145] The second through-hole element may further include a first corresponding conical surface and a second corresponding conical surface. The first corresponding conical surface is disposed corresponding to the first conical surface, and the second corresponding conical surface is disposed corresponding to the second conical surface. Wherein, in a cross-section perpendicular to the imaging optical path and passing through the first conical surface, the first corresponding conical surface, the second conical surface, and the second corresponding conical surface, the shortest distance between the first conical surface and the second conical surface is D, and the shortest distance between the first corresponding conical surface and the second corresponding conical surface is d, which may satisfy the following conditions: 0.2 μm ≤ |D - d| ≤ 19.8 μm. Thus, by controlling the spacing distance (|D - d|) between the conical surfaces, an optimized design can be made for the actual situation. Among them, the following conditions may also be satisfied: 1.0 μm ≤ |D - d| ≤ 9.8 μm. Among them, the following conditions may also be satisfied: 2.0 μm ≤ |D - d| ≤ 3.5 μm.
[0146] The included angle between the first conical surface and the second conical surface in a cross-section parallel to the imaging optical path is θ, which may satisfy the following conditions: 12° ≤ θ ≤ 145°. Thus, the force direction between the through-hole elements can be controlled to avoid bending during expansion and contraction. Among them, the following conditions may also be satisfied: 15° ≤ θ ≤ 90°. Among them, the following conditions may also be satisfied: 20° ≤ θ ≤ 60°.
[0147] The imaging lens disclosed in the present invention may further include a first lens. The first through-hole element may further include an inner side surface, wherein the inner side surface surrounds the imaging optical path and forms a first through-hole, and the first lens is disposed in the first through-hole and is in physical contact with the inner side surface. Thus, the through-hole element can simultaneously have the functions of shielding non-imaging light and fixing the lens, so as to reduce the use of parts and improve production efficiency.
[0148] The first through-hole element may further include an anti-reflection structure, and the anti-reflection structure covers at least a part of the inner side surface. Thus, the anti-reflection structure can reduce the glare formed by the reflection of non-imaging light on the inner side surface. The anti-reflection structure may be a peak-valley structure with multiple protrusions. In addition, the anti-reflection structure may also be a coating with light-absorbing properties. The present invention is not limited thereto.
[0149] The first lens and the first through-hole element may be integrally formed by two-shot molding. Thus, the assembly process of the first lens and the through-hole element can be reduced by two-shot integral molding and the assembly tolerance can be further reduced. The first lens and the first through-hole element may be of the same material. Thus, the bonding property between the first lens and the first through-hole element is improved. The first lens and the first through-hole element may also be of different materials, and the first lens and the first through-hole element may be further combined by an embedding method. Thus, the bonding property between the optical part and the opaque part is improved.
[0150] The first lens may be a reflective lens, which sequentially includes an incident light surface, at least one reflective surface, and an exit light surface along the imaging optical path from the object side to the image side, and the imaging optical path turns at at least one reflective surface. Thus, the lens can further have the function of turning the optical path, thereby reducing the height of the imaging lens.
[0151] The imaging lens disclosed in the present invention may further include a light-shielding element, and the light-shielding element is disposed between the first through-hole element and the second through-hole element. Thus, the light-shielding element can shield non-imaging light to reduce the generation of glare, which helps to improve the imaging quality.
[0152] At least one of the first conical surface and the second conical surface may not completely surround the imaging optical path. Thus, the size of the imaging lens can be reduced to further reduce the size of the electronic device. In addition, it can also correspond to non-circular lenses (such as prisms or lenses with reduced surfaces) and through-hole elements. Among them, the first conical surface and the second conical surface may be C-shaped.
[0153] The first through-hole element and the second through-hole element may both be opaque components. For example, the through-hole element may be an opaque plastic part, ceramic part, or metal part, but the present invention is not limited to the materials listed above.
[0154] The imaging lens disclosed above is additionally provided with independent through-hole elements, but the present invention can also form a structure similar to the aforementioned through-hole elements on the lens. The present invention further provides an imaging lens, which includes a first lens and a second lens. The first lens has a first optical portion, and an imaging optical path of the imaging lens passes through the first optical portion. The second lens includes a second optical portion and an opaque portion. The imaging optical path passes through the second optical portion. The opaque portion is farther from the imaging optical path than the second optical portion, and the opaque portion faces and physically contacts the object side or the image side of the first lens.
[0155] The side of the opaque portion facing the first lens includes a first conical surface, a second conical surface, and a bearing surface. The first conical surface surrounds the imaging optical path with the imaging optical path as the axis. The second conical surface surrounds the imaging optical path with the imaging optical path as the axis, and the second conical surface is closer to the second optical portion than the first conical surface. The bearing surface is substantially perpendicular to the imaging optical path, and the bearing surface physically contacts the first lens. Among them, the opaque portion can have the function of light shielding to shield or absorb non-imaging light, thereby improving the imaging quality. In addition, the through-hole element can have functions such as maintaining the lens spacing and fixing the lens.
[0156] When the imaging lens is in a first environment, the first conical surface is in solid contact with the first lens, the second conical surface is spaced apart from the first lens, and the first optical portion is aligned with the second optical portion. When the imaging lens is in a second environment, the second conical surface is in solid contact with the first lens, the first conical surface is spaced apart from the first lens, and the first optical portion is aligned with the second optical portion. Among them, the first environment and the second environment have at least one of the following relationships: a temperature dependence relationship, where the temperature of the first environment is Ta and the temperature of the second environment is Tb, which satisfies the following conditions: 6K ≤ |Ta - Tb| ≤ 198K; and a humidity dependence relationship, where the relative humidity of the first environment is RHa and the relative humidity of the second environment is RHb, which satisfies the following conditions: 14% ≤ |RHa - RHb| ≤ 81%. Among them, in the case where the first environment and the second environment have a temperature dependence relationship, the following conditions may also be satisfied: 10K ≤ |Ta - Tb| ≤ 100K. Among them, in the case where the first environment and the second environment have a temperature dependence relationship, the following conditions may also be satisfied: 15K ≤ |Ta - Tb| ≤ 50K. Among them, in the case where the first environment and the second environment have a humidity dependence relationship, the following conditions may also be satisfied: 20% ≤ |RHa - RHb| ≤ 60%.
[0157] Through the above configuration, the imaging lens can maintain the alignment of the lenses on the imaging optical path when affected by environmental changes, and can maintain the cooperation when the environment recovers, thereby improving the resistance of the imaging lens to changes in external factors. The environmental changes can be temperature changes, humidity changes, or a long-term high-temperature and high-humidity environment, etc. In addition, the imaging lens can further resist external forces such as drop impacts and vibrations. And, the bearing surface of the opaque portion of the second lens remains in solid contact with the first lens under the condition of environmental change.
[0158] The first lens may further include a first corresponding conical surface and a second corresponding conical surface, the first corresponding conical surface is disposed corresponding to the first conical surface, and the second corresponding conical surface is disposed corresponding to the second conical surface. Among them, in the cross-section perpendicular to the imaging optical path and passing through the first conical surface, the first corresponding conical surface, the second conical surface, and the second corresponding conical surface, the shortest distance between the first conical surface and the second conical surface is D, and the shortest distance between the first corresponding conical surface and the second corresponding conical surface is d, which may satisfy the following conditions: 0.2 μm ≤ |D - d| ≤ 19.8 μm. Thereby, by controlling the interval distance (|D - d|) between the conical surfaces, an optimized design can be made for the actual situation. Among them, the following conditions may also be satisfied: 1.0 μm ≤ |D - d| ≤ 9.8 μm. Among them, the following conditions may also be satisfied: 2.0 μm ≤ |D - d| ≤ 3.5 μm.
[0159] The included angle between the first conical surface and the second conical surface on the cross-section parallel to the imaging optical path is θ, which can satisfy the following conditions: 12 degrees ≤ θ ≤ 145 degrees. Thereby, the force direction between the lenses can be controlled to avoid bending during expansion and contraction. Among them, the following conditions can also be satisfied: 15 degrees ≤ θ ≤ 90 degrees. Among them, the following conditions can also be satisfied: 20 degrees ≤ θ ≤ 60 degrees.
[0160] The opaque part may further include an inner side surface and an anti-reflection structure. The inner side surface faces the imaging optical path, and the anti-reflection structure covers at least a part of the inner side surface. Thereby, the anti-reflection structure can reduce the glare formed by the reflection of non-imaging light through the inner side surface. Among them, the anti-reflection structure can be a peak-valley structure with multiple protrusions. In addition, the anti-reflection structure can also be a coating with light-absorbing properties. The present invention is not limited thereto.
[0161] At least one of the first lens and the second lens can be a reflective lens, which sequentially includes an incident light surface, at least one reflective surface, and an exit light surface along the imaging optical path from the object side to the image side, and the imaging optical path turns at at least one reflective surface. Thereby, the lens can further have the function of turning the optical path to reduce the height of the imaging lens.
[0162] The imaging lens disclosed in the present invention may further include a light-shielding element, and the light-shielding element is disposed between the first lens and the second lens. Thereby, the light-shielding element can block non-imaging light to reduce the generation of glare, which helps to improve the imaging quality.
[0163] At least one of the first conical surface and the second conical surface may not completely surround the imaging optical path. Thereby, the size of the imaging lens can be reduced to further reduce the size of the electronic device. In addition, it can also correspond to non-circular lenses (such as prisms or lenses with reduced surfaces) and through-hole elements. Among them, the first conical surface and the second conical surface can be in a C shape.
[0164] The opaque part and the second optical part can be integrally formed into the second lens by secondary injection molding. Among them, the opaque part and the optical part can be of the same material and the opaque part is formed by adding an opaque pigment. Thereby, the bonding property between the opaque part and the optical part is improved. The opaque part and the optical part can also be of different materials, and the opaque part and the optical part can be further combined by an embedding method. Thereby, the bonding property between the optical part and the opaque part is improved. The opaque part can be a through-hole element, and the opaque part surrounds the imaging optical path and forms a through hole. For example, the through-hole element can be an opaque plastic part, a ceramic part, or a metal part, but the present invention is not limited to the materials listed above.

The image captured in this case can be referred to Figure 45 , which is a schematic diagram of the image captured by the electronic device 7 with an equivalent focal length between 11 mm and 14 mm, and the captured image includes the entire church, surrounding buildings, and people on the square. Figure 45 The image of has a larger viewing angle and depth of field, but often has a larger distortion. The wide - angle imaging module 7c has a maximum viewing angle of 70 degrees to 90 degrees, and it can achieve an image with an equivalent focal length between 22 mm and 30 mm. The image captured in this case can be referred to Figure 46 , which is a schematic diagram of the image captured by the electronic device 7 with an equivalent focal length between 22 mm and 30 mm, and the captured image includes the entire church and the people in front of the church. The telephoto imaging module 7e has a maximum viewing angle of 10 degrees to 40 degrees, and it can achieve an image with an equivalent focal length between 60 mm and 300 mm, and the telephoto imaging module 7e can be regarded as providing a 5 - fold magnification. The image captured in this case can be referred to Figure 47 , which is a schematic diagram of the image captured by the electronic device 7 with an equivalent focal length between 60 mm and 300 mm, and the captured image includes flocks of birds flying in front of the church.Figure 47 The image has a smaller viewing angle and depth of field, enabling the telephoto imaging module 7e to be used for photographing moving objects. The lens driving module drives the imaging lens to perform fast and continuous autofocus on the object, so that the object will not become blurred due to moving away from the focus position. When taking images, the telephoto imaging module 7e can further perform optical zoom on the shooting subject to obtain a clearer image. The magnification of the imaging module is defined as the ratio of the maximum focal length to the minimum focal length. Taking this imaging module as an example, the magnification is 5 times. The ultra-telephoto imaging module 7a has a maximum viewing angle of 4 degrees to 8 degrees, and it can achieve an image with an equivalent focal length between 400 mm and 600 mm. The image captured in this case can be referred to Figure 48 , which is a schematic diagram of the image captured by the electronic device 7 with an equivalent focal length between 400 mm and 600 mm. The captured image includes an angel statue and a cross above the church spire. Figure 48 The image has an even smaller viewing angle and depth of field, making the imaging lens of the ultra-telephoto imaging module 7a more prone to defocus due to jitter. Therefore, when the lens driving module provides a driving force to focus the imaging lens of the ultra-telephoto imaging module 7a on the object, it can simultaneously provide a feedback force to correct jitter to achieve the effect of optical image stabilization. In addition, the imaging module 7h can obtain the depth information of the image. The above electronic device 7 takes the example of including multiple imaging modules 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d, 7e, 7f, 7g, 7h, but the number and configuration of the imaging modules are not used to limit the present invention. The equivalent focal length corresponding to the above imaging module is an estimated value after conversion, and it may be different from the actual focal length due to the design of the imaging lens and the size of the electronic photosensitive element.
[0254] When the user photographs the object OBJ, the electronic device 7 uses the imaging module 7a, imaging module 7b, imaging module 7c, imaging module 7e or imaging module 7f to collect light and take images, activates the light-emitting element 72 for fill light, and uses the object distance information of the object OBJ provided by the focus assist module 73 for fast focusing. Coupled with the image signal processor for image optimization processing, the image quality generated by the imaging lens is further improved. The focus assist module 73 can adopt an infrared or laser focus assist system to achieve fast focusing.
[0255] In addition, the electronic device 7 can also use the imaging module 7f, imaging module 7g, or imaging module 7h for shooting. When the imaging module 7f, imaging module 7g, or imaging module 7h is shooting, a reminder light 7k can emit light to remind the user that the electronic device 7 is in the process of shooting. The display device 75 can adopt a touch screen or physical shooting buttons such as a zoom control button 751 and a focus and shoot button 752, and cooperate with the diverse functions of the image software processor to perform image shooting and image processing. The image processed by the image software processor can be displayed on the display device 75. The user can also replay the previously shot image through the image playback button 753 of the display device 75, can also select a suitable imaging module for shooting through the imaging module switching button 754, and can also adjust the suitable shooting conditions for the current shooting scene through the integrated menu button 755.
[0256] Furthermore, the electronic device 7 further includes a circuit board 78, and the circuit board 78 carries a plurality of electronic components 79. The imaging modules 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d, 7e, 7f, 7g, 7h are electrically connected to the electronic components 79 through the connector 781 on the circuit board 78, and the electronic components 79 may include a signal transmission module, and the image can be transmitted to other electronic devices or cloud storage through the signal transmission module. Among them, the signal transmission module can be a Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) module, a Bluetooth module, an infrared module, a network service module, or an integrated module of the above multiple signal transmissions. The present invention is not limited thereto.
[0257] The electronic component 79 may also include a storage unit, a random access memory to store image signals, a gyroscope, and a position locator to facilitate the navigation or positioning of the electronic device 7. In this embodiment, the image signal processor, the image software processor, and the random access memory are integrated into a single chip system 74, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. In some other embodiments, the electronic components may also be integrated into the imaging module or may be disposed on one of the multiple circuit boards. In addition, the biometric sensor 77 can provide functions such as powering on and unlocking the electronic device 7.
[0258] The imaging lens of the present invention is not limited to being applied to smart phones. The imaging lens can also be applied to a mobile focusing system as required, and has the characteristics of excellent aberration correction and good imaging quality. For example, the imaging lens can be applied to various electronic devices such as three-dimensional (3D) image capture, digital cameras, mobile communication devices, tablet computers, smart TVs, network monitoring devices, dash cams, reverse imaging devices, multi-lens devices, identification systems, motion sensing game consoles, and wearable devices. The above-mentioned electronic devices are only exemplary illustrations of the actual application examples of the present invention, and do not limit the application scope of the imaging lens of the present invention.

Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the scope defined by the appended claims.
