Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to an imaging optical lens and an image capturing device, and more particularly to an imaging optical lens and an image capturing device that are used in electronic devices and have good anti-reflective properties. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional anti-reflective coating (ARC) technology is insufficient in reducing reflectivity across a wide wavelength range, and strong light in the long wavelength region leads to image quality degradation. When the incident angle increases, the increased internal light path length results in insufficient optical path difference between coating layers to achieve destructive interference conditions, thus failing to solve the severe reflection problem caused by light incident on the lens surface at large angles. Regarding the properties of glass materials, lower dispersion provides a clearer image. While this significantly helps with dispersion correction in large-aperture photographic lenses, its resistance to oxidation from atmospheric water and oxygen is relatively poor. Traditional anti-reflective coating technology mainly relies on the solidification or deposition of coating materials on the contact surface. The uniformity and density of the coating are directly related to the particle size of the material and the flatness of the contact surface. Therefore, traditional anti-reflective coating technology is often limited by optical lenses with drastic surface shape changes, making it unable to meet the requirements of high-end optical systems for reducing lens reflectivity. Therefore, in high-end optical systems with greater freedom of surface shape changes, developing coating technologies with excellent substrate protection and good anti-reflective effects has become an important goal.

The anti-reflective coating comprises a high- and low-refractive-index film and a graded-refractive-index film, with the high- and low-refractive-index film disposed between the optical lens and the graded-refractive-index film. The high- and low-refractive-index film comprises at least one high-refractive-index film layer and at least one low-refractive-index film layer, which are alternately stacked. The low-refractive-index film layer contacts the optical lens, and the main material of the low-refractive-index film layer is aluminum oxide.

[0105] This disclosure describes the application of multilayer coating technology to the surface of imaging optical lenses. By alternately stacking multiple high-refractive-index layers and low-refractive-index layers, light is reduced by destructive interference at the film surface. Furthermore, the gradually varying hole structure and gradient refractive index of the graded-index film effectively provide anti-reflection effects across a wide wavelength range and solves the problem of severe reflection at large angles of incidence. This disclosure creates a uniform and dense anti-reflection film on the surface of the imaging optical lens, significantly enhancing the oxidation resistance of optical lenses with insufficient water and acid resistance, thus contributing to a wide-wavelength anti-reflection effect and meeting the requirements of imaging optical lenses demanding high image quality.

[0151] The method for testing the water resistance value of the optical lens of the present disclosure is based on the test method of GB / T 171292.

[0152] The antireflective film disclosed herein is a multilayer thin film deposited on a glass surface using physical vapor deposition (PVD), such as evaporation deposition or sputtering deposition, or chemical vapor deposition (CVD), such as ultra-high vacuum chemical vapor deposition, microwave plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition, plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition, or atomic layer deposition (ALD).

[0153] The anti-reflective coating disclosed herein can be applied to both sides, or it can be applied to only one suitable surface. By applying the technology disclosed herein to the surface of the optical lens with drastic changes in surface shape, the atomic layer deposition coating can be optimized to achieve a balance between cost and quality. By applying it to the surface of the most suitable optical lens material, the anti-reflective effect can be maximized.

[0154] The pore-forming process disclosed herein can effectively improve the surface pore distribution, increasing the gaps between pores, creating a sponge-like pore structure, or altering pore density. The pore-forming effect also changes with depth; for example, the outer side exposed to air has a larger pore structure, while the deeper inner side has a relatively smaller pore structure. These pores are composed of spaces between irregular nanofiber structures, allowing air to be trapped or connected within them. The outer and inner sides of the antireflective film, as shown in the cross-sectional view, represent the side furthest from the optical lens and the inner side closest to it. The pores (notches, gaps) distributed on the outer side are relatively larger than those on the inner side. This can also be explained by the sparser distribution density of the irregular branched structure on the outer side and the denser distribution density of the irregular branched structure on the inner side under the same plane. The pore-forming process can utilize plasma etching, chemical reaction etching, time-controlled crystallization particle size techniques, or high-temperature solution treatment, such as immersion in alcohols or water at temperatures above 50 degrees Celsius.

[0155] The main material of the gradient refractive index film disclosed herein is a metal oxide, which may be aluminum oxide, or aluminum nitride (AlN), aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)3), or an aluminum-containing mixture.

[0156] The high and low refractive index films disclosed herein can also have an additional film layer added between the high refractive index film layer and the low refractive index film layer. Through the configuration design of the coating, the refractive index between the film layers can be varied by gradient, which also satisfies the difference between high and low refractive indices and achieves the purpose of reducing reflected light through destructive interference, effectively improving the anti-reflection effect in a wide wavelength range.

[0157] The gradient variation disclosed herein can be a polynomial function (including linear and curvilinear functions) or a Gaussian function of the relationship between refractive index and position, or a combination thereof.

[0158] The high-refractive-index or low-refractive-index film disclosed herein can be a film layer that contacts optical lenses or optical elements, and its main material is aluminum oxide, or it can be aluminum nitride, aluminum hydroxide or an aluminum-containing mixture; or it can be zinc oxide or magnesium oxide; or it can be a mixture of at least one of the above-mentioned aluminum oxide, zinc oxide, and magnesium oxide with other metal oxides. It has the characteristics of a dense structure, which can enhance the adhesion between the material and the optical lens, so as to avoid the coating from falling off, achieve the surface protection effect of the optical lens in the coating process, and effectively enhance the environmental weather resistance of the optical lens.

[0159] The high-refractive-index layer in the antireflective coating disclosed herein has a refractive index greater than 2.0, and the low-refractive-index layer has a refractive index less than 1.8. The materials of the high-refractive-index layer and the low-refractive-index layer (refractive index at a wavelength of 587.6 nm) can be, for example, magnesium fluoride (MgF2, 1.3777), silicon dioxide (SiO2, 1.4585), thorium fluoride (ThF4, 1.5125), silicon monoxide (SiO, 1.55), cerium fluoride (CeF3, 1.63), aluminum oxide (Al2O3, 1.7682), yttrium trioxide (Y2O3, 1.79), and hafnium dioxide (HfO2, 1.8935).

Alternatively, it may be a mixture of magnesium fluoride and silicon dioxide (MgF2-SiO2), wherein the content ratio of each component may be, for example, [SiO2] > [MgF2].

[0160] The electronic device disclosed herein may also be an automotive device, a mobile device, an aviation device, or a surveillance device, etc.

[0161] This disclosure provides an electronic device that includes the aforementioned image capturing device. This improves image quality. Preferably, the aforementioned electronic device may further include a control unit, a display unit, a storage unit, a random access memory, or a combination thereof.

[0162] The imaging optical lenses disclosed herein can also be used in various electronic devices such as three-dimensional (3D) image capture, digital cameras, mobile products, digital tablets, smart TVs, network monitoring equipment, motion-sensing game consoles, dashcams, reversing cameras, wearable products, or drones.

[0247]

[0248] <Anti-reflective film configuration>

[0249] The following provides a further explanation and comparison of the antireflective film configurations for the first to third comparative examples and the first to third embodiments. The antireflective film configurations for the first and second comparative examples are listed in Table 14 below.

[0250]

[0251]

[0252] The configuration of the antireflective film in the third comparative example and the first embodiment is listed in Table 15 below.

[0253]

[0254] The first film layer of the first embodiment disclosed herein is in contact with the surface of the optical lens. It is made of Al2O3, has a thickness of 36 nm, and a refractive index of 1.64. The second film layer is above and in contact with the first film layer. It is made of TiO2, has a thickness of 9 nm, and a refractive index of 2.31. The third film layer is above and in contact with the second film layer. It is made of SiO2, has a thickness of 63 nm, and a refractive index of 1.47. The fourth film layer is above and in contact with the third film layer. It is made of TiO2, has a thickness of 5 nm, and a refractive index of 2.31. The fifth film layer is above and in contact with the fourth film layer. It is made of Al2O3, has a thickness of 224 nm, and its refractive index varies in a gradient, decreasing as it moves further away from the optical lens.

[0255] In this disclosure, TNL represents the total thickness of the overall low-refractive-index film, TL1 represents the thickness of the first film layer, and TL3 represents the thickness of the third film layer. In the first embodiment, TNL is the sum of TL1 and TL3, i.e., TNL = TL1 + TL3, which satisfies the condition: TNL = 99 nm.

[0256] In this disclosure, TNH represents the total thickness of the overall high refractive index film, TL2 represents the thickness of the second film, and TL4 represents the thickness of the fourth film. In the first embodiment, TNH is the sum of TL2 and TL4, i.e., TNH = TL2 + TL4, which satisfies the condition: TNH = 14 nm.

[0257] In this disclosure, TNG represents the thickness of the graded refractive index film, and TL5 represents the thickness of the fifth film layer. In the first embodiment, TNG is TL5, so TNG / tTK = TL5 / tTK, which satisfies the condition: TNG / tTK = 0.66.

[0258] The antireflective film configurations of the second and third embodiments are listed in Table 16 below. The parameter definitions in Table 16 are the same as those in the preceding paragraphs, and will not be repeated here.

[0259]

[0260]

[0261] All the above results were obtained using incident light with a reference wavelength of 510 nm and an incident angle of 0 degrees.

[0262] As can be seen from Tables 14 to 16, the antireflective film disclosed herein has an appropriate film layer configuration. By controlling the film thickness of the gradient refractive index film, it maintains the optimal pore structure and effectively achieves the optimal gradient refractive index design to enhance the antireflective effect of light incident at large angles and avoid reducing the antireflective effect due to insufficient film thickness. Furthermore, by controlling the high refractive index film layer and the low refractive index film layer to achieve a specific thickness, it makes it easy for reflected light to produce destructive interference phenomena on the surface of the spaced film layers, which helps to improve the antireflective effect.

[0263] <Measurement results of antireflective coating thickness>

[0264] The antireflective film of the first comparative example and the first to third embodiments were measured below. The total thickness (Tc) of the antireflective film located at the center of the optical lens and the total thickness (Tp) of the antireflective film located at the periphery of the optical lens are listed in Table 17 below.

[0265]

[0266] As can be seen from Table 17, the total thickness difference of the anti-reflective film at the center and periphery of the optical lens is very small, which proves that the thickness of the anti-reflective film is quite uniform. It not only effectively solves the defect of reflected light caused by the inability to uniformly coat the film when the peripheral surface shape changes drastically, but also helps to improve the anti-reflective effect of the surface where light is incident at a large angle.

[0267] <Reflectance Measurement Results at Different Wavelengths>

[0268] The reflectance at different wavelengths was measured for the first comparative example, the third comparative example, and the first to third embodiments. The reflectance measurement results of the first comparative example and the third comparative example are listed in Table 18 below.

[0269]

[0270]

[0271]

[0272]

[0273]

[0274] The reflectance measurement results of the first to third embodiments are listed in Table 19 below.

[0275]

[0276]

[0277]

[0278]

[0279]

[0280]

[0281] Please refer to the above as well. Figures 2 to 6 , Figure 2 This is a graph showing the relationship between reflectivity and wavelength for the first comparative example. Figure 3 This is a graph showing the relationship between reflectivity and wavelength for the third comparative example. Figure 4 This is a graph showing the relationship between reflectivity and wavelength in the first embodiment. Figure 5 This is a graph showing the relationship between reflectivity and wavelength in the second embodiment. Figure 6 This is a graph showing the relationship between reflectivity and wavelength in the third embodiment. (See Tables 18 and 19.) Figures 2 to 6 It can be seen that the imaging device disclosed herein can effectively provide anti-reflection effects over a wide wavelength range and solve the problem of severe reflection of light when incident at large angles.

[0282] <Antioxidant Properties Test>

[0283] Please refer to the above as well. Figure 7A and Figure 7B , Figure 7A This is a surface quality diagram of the optical lens substrate for the second comparative example. Figure 7B This is a surface quality diagram of the optical lens substrate in the first embodiment. From... Figure 7A and Figure 7B As can be seen, the optical lens substrate of the second comparative example is obviously oxidized, and the surface shows spot defects, while the optical lens substrate of the first embodiment has an anti-oxidation effect and excellent surface quality, indicating that the anti-reflective film of the imaging device disclosed herein can provide the anti-oxidation effect of the optical lens substrate.

This provides more perspectives to reduce blind spots, thereby helping to improve driving safety.

[0304] This disclosure describes the application of multilayer coating technology to the surface of optical lenses or optical elements in imaging optical lenses. The combination of high and low refractive index films and graded refractive index films achieves excellent anti-reflection effects, reducing the problem of severe reflection in the peripheral area of ​​the optical lens when light is incident on the surface of the optical lens at a large angle, effectively improving the light transmittance of the imaging optical lens, and achieving the best anti-reflection effect.

[0305] This disclosure utilizes a uniform and dense anti-reflective coating to significantly enhance the material's oxidation resistance, thereby protecting optical lenses and components. Through atomic layer deposition (ALD) technology, this disclosure achieves precise control of film thickness and maintains overall coating uniformity, making it suitable for high-end imaging optical lenses with high design freedom for curved surfaces.

[0306] This disclosure utilizes the optical interference phenomenon by alternating stacks of multiple high-refractive-index and low-refractive-index film layers. Through the design of different refractive indices and appropriate film thicknesses, light is destructively interfered with the film surface to reduce reflected light. Furthermore, the gradient refractive index film features a gradually changing hole structure and its gradient refractive index, effectively providing anti-reflection effects over a wide wavelength range and solving the problem of severe reflection of light at large angles of incidence.

[0307] This disclosure utilizes atomic layer deposition (ALD) technology to achieve atomic-level precision, freeing it from the limitations of the surface geometry of imaging optical lenses. It enables precise control over film thickness and uniform coating capabilities, enhancing the design freedom of optical lens surfaces. Furthermore, it allows for the deposition of a uniform and dense anti-reflective film on the imaging optical lens surface, effectively preventing further contact between airborne water and oxygen. This significantly improves the oxidation resistance of optical lenses with insufficient water and acid resistance, contributing to the overall quality improvement of optical lenses and components to meet the requirements of high-quality imaging optical lenses.

[0308] Although the present disclosure has been presented above with reference to embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present disclosure. Any person skilled in the art may make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present disclosure shall be determined by the scope defined in the appended claims.
