Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of lens technology, and in particular to an internal focusing imaging lens. Background Technology

[0002] As imaging products develop towards specialization, integration, and convenience, the imaging lenses required to match them are becoming increasingly professional and mature. For example, current mobile phone camera focusing technology has achieved "internal focusing" technology with the help of voice coil motor (VCM) technology and multi-group imaging lenses: that is, during the focusing process, the total length of the lens group remains unchanged, and multiple lens groups complete the focusing with the cooperation of the voice coil motor (usually the front and rear lens groups of the three-group lens group remain stationary, while the middle lens group moves back and forth).

[0003] Traditional mobile phone focusing relies on a small aperture and the large depth of field of a wide-angle lens to achieve a basically clear image. This type of simple camera utilizing hyperfocal distance has a very limited application range, and the image quality is relatively poor. As we know from optical principles, light is refracted after passing through an imaging lens; the point where these light rays intersect is called the focal point. The plane that forms the image of all points at the point of sharpness is usually called the focal plane. The farther away an object is from the focal plane, the blurrier the image becomes. Therefore, essentially, traditional mobile phone focusing is a data calculation method integrated into the phone's ISP (Image Signal Processor). It cannot adjust the image sensor, has obvious limitations, and is a compromise made for miniaturized imaging systems and cost.

[0004] Therefore, to further improve the imaging quality of mobile phones, various terminals are gradually adopting technologies such as "active focusing," "internal focusing," and "variable focal length lenses" in their flagship products. The principle behind these technologies is to use optical elements to generate spatial displacement or angular deflection, enabling the entire optical system to reach its theoretically optimal imaging state and changing the optical focal length to ensure the focal plane falls on the image plane (image sensor). As physical focusing continues to evolve, ensuring imaging stability and balancing costs have become crucial factors for all manufacturers. Summary of the Invention

In this embodiment, by controlling the reflectivity of the ink used for applying the ink to R < 1%, the reflected light from the sidewalls and cut edges can be absorbed more effectively, thereby improving the appearance and reducing stray light.
