[0048] To better understand the present invention, more detailed descriptions will be made for various aspects of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these detailed descriptions are only descriptions of the embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the scope of the present invention in any way. Throughout the specification, the same reference numerals refer to the same elements. The expression "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0049] It should be noted that in this specification, the expressions such as first, second, and third are only used to distinguish one feature from another feature and do not represent any limitation on the features. Therefore, without departing from the teachings of the present invention, the first lens discussed below may also be referred to as the second lens or the third lens.

[0050] In the accompanying drawings, for the convenience of illustration, the thickness, size, and shape of the lens have been slightly exaggerated. Specifically, the shapes of the spherical or aspherical surfaces shown in the drawings are shown by way of example. That is, the shapes of the spherical or aspherical surfaces are not limited to the spherical or aspherical shapes shown in the drawings. The drawings are only examples and are not drawn strictly to scale.

[0051] In this article, the paraxial region refers to the region near the optical axis. If the lens surface is convex and the position of the convex surface is not defined, it means that the lens surface is convex at least in the paraxial region; if the lens surface is concave and the position of the concave surface is not defined, it means that the lens surface is concave at least in the paraxial region. The surface of each lens closest to the object to be photographed is called the object side surface of the lens, and the surface of each lens closest to the imaging surface is called the image side surface of the lens.

[0052] It should also be understood that the terms "comprise", "comprising", "have", "including" and / or "containing", when used in this specification, denote the presence of the stated features, elements and / or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, elements, components and / or combinations thereof. In addition, when an expression such as "at least one of..." appears after a list of listed features, it modifies the entire list of listed features rather than individual elements in the list. In addition, when describing embodiments of the present invention, the use of "may" means "one or more embodiments of the present invention". Also, the term "exemplary" is intended to refer to an example or illustration.

[0053] Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. It should also be understood that terms (such as those defined in a common dictionary) should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.

[0054] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present invention and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0055] The optical lens according to an embodiment of the present invention sequentially includes, from the object side to the image side: a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, a seventh lens, as well as a filter and a protective glass.

[0056] In some embodiments, the first lens may have a negative optical power, which is beneficial to reducing the inclination angle of the incident light, thereby effectively sharing the large field of view on the object side. The object side surface of the first lens is convex, and the image side surface is concave, which is beneficial to obtaining a larger field of view angle range. In addition, in practical applications, considering the outdoor installation and use environment of vehicle-mounted application lenses, the lens will be in harsh weather such as rain and snow. Setting the first lens as a meniscus shape with the convex surface facing the object side can facilitate the sliding of water droplets and the like, and can reduce the influence on the imaging of the lens. The first lens may have an aspherical mirror surface, which is beneficial to the large-angle resolution of the edge region of the optical lens and can improve the resolution of the edge field of view region.

[0057] In some embodiments, the second lens may have a negative optical power, capable of sharing the negative optical power at the front end of the optical lens, thereby facilitating the avoidance of excessive light deflection caused by over-concentration of the optical power of the first lens and reducing the difficulty of chromatic aberration correction of the optical lens. The object side of the second lens is convex and the image side is concave, which is beneficial to improving the light collection ability of the marginal field of view while reducing the working aperture of the second lens, thus facilitating the miniaturization of the volume at the rear end of the optical lens; in addition, it can effectively avoid the lateral chromatic aberration caused by excessive light deflection angle of the marginal field of view during the process of light transmission from the first lens to the second lens, reducing the difficulty of chromatic aberration correction of the optical lens.

[0058] In some embodiments, the third lens may have a negative optical power, which is beneficial to increasing the imaging area of the optical lens and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens. The object side of the third lens is concave, which is beneficial to converging the marginal light and effectively transmitting more light beams to the rear optical system, improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0059] In some embodiments, the fourth lens may have a positive optical power, which is beneficial to reducing the light deflection angle and enabling the light to transition smoothly. Both the object side and the image side of the fourth lens are convex, which is beneficial to the smooth transition of the light path and balancing the spherical aberration generated by the fourth lens itself, improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0060] In some embodiments, the fifth lens may have a positive optical power, which is beneficial to improving the light convergence ability of the marginal field of view, effectively controlling the overall optical length and reducing the volume of the optical lens, and thus facilitating the miniaturization of the optical lens. Both the object side and the image side of the fifth lens are convex, which is beneficial to the smooth transition of the light path and balancing the spherical aberration and coma generated by the fifth lens itself, improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0061] In some embodiments, the sixth lens may have a negative optical power, which is beneficial to increasing the imaging area of the optical lens and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens. Both the object side and the image side of the sixth lens are concave, which is beneficial to balancing the astigmatism generated by the sixth lens itself, improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0062] In some embodiments, the seventh lens may have a positive optical power, which is beneficial to suppressing the angle of incidence of the marginal field of view on the imaging surface, effectively transmitting more light beams to the imaging surface, and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens. Both the object side and the image side of the seventh lens are convex, which is beneficial to improving the relative illumination of the marginal field of view and avoiding the generation of vignetting, improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0063] In some embodiments, the fifth lens and the sixth lens can be glued together to form a glued lens, which can effectively correct the chromatic aberration of the optical lens, reduce the eccentricity sensitivity of the optical lens, balance the aberration of the optical lens, and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens; it can also reduce the assembly sensitivity of the optical lens, thereby reducing the processing difficulty of the optical lens and improving the assembly yield of the optical lens.

[0064] In some embodiments, a diaphragm for restricting the light beam can be provided between the third lens and the fourth lens or between the fourth lens and the fifth lens. The diaphragm can be disposed near the object side surface of the fourth lens or the fifth lens, which can reduce the generation of ghosts in the optical lens and is beneficial to converging the light rays entering the optical system and reducing the rear port diameter of the optical lens.

[0065] In some embodiments, the aperture value FNO of the optical lens satisfies: FNO < 2.10. Meeting the above range can enable the optical lens to have a sufficiently large depth of field and meet the clear acquisition of long-distance information by the optical lens.

[0066] In some embodiments, the maximum field of view FOV of the optical lens satisfies: 190° ≤ FOV. Meeting the above range is beneficial to realizing the ultra-wide-angle characteristic, so as to be able to obtain more scene information and meet the requirements of large-range detection of the optical lens.

[0067] In some embodiments, the incident angle CRA of the principal ray of the maximum field of view of the optical lens on the image plane satisfies: 18° < CRA < 20°. Meeting the above range can make the optical lens have an appropriate allowable error range between the CRA and the CRA of the chip photosensitive element, and improve the adaptability of the optical lens to the image sensor.

[0068] In some embodiments, the total optical length TTL of the optical lens and the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field of view satisfy: 3.0 < TTL / IH < 5.0. Meeting the above range is beneficial to achieving a balance between obtaining good imaging quality and miniaturized design of the optical lens, and can meet the requirements for the optical lens under different working conditions.

[0069] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field of view satisfy: 4.2 < IH / f. Meeting the above range can not only realize the ultra-wide-angle characteristic to meet the large-range shooting requirements, but also realize the large image plane characteristic to improve the imaging quality of the optical system.

[0070] In some embodiments, the back focal length BFL of the optical lens and the effective focal length f satisfy: 1.3 < BFL / f. Meeting the above range is beneficial to achieving a balance between obtaining good imaging quality and an easily assembled back focal length, ensuring the imaging quality of the optical lens while reducing the assembly process difficulty of the camera module.

[0071] In some embodiments, the maximum field of view angle FOV of the optical lens and the effective focal length f satisfy: 115° / mm < FOV / f < 150° / mm. Meeting the above range can, while obtaining a relatively large field of view angle, also reduce the deflection angle of the outgoing light rays, lower the sensitivity of the optical lens and the correction difficulty of various aberrations, thereby improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0072] In some embodiments, the entrance pupil diameter EPD of the optical lens and the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field of view angle satisfy: 7.5 < IH / EPD < 11.0. Meeting the above range can make the width of the light beam incident on the optical lens larger, improve the brightness of the optical lens at the image plane and avoid the generation of vignetting, and at the same time can increase the imaging area of the optical lens.

[0073] In some embodiments, the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field of view angle of the optical lens and the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum half field of view angle h satisfy: 0.38 < IH h / IH < 0.45. Meeting the above range can increase the proportion of the imaging range of the edge field of view in the entire imaging range. The larger the imaging range, the more pixels occupied on the corresponding chip surface, and thus more detailed information of the edge field of view can be obtained.

[0074] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f, the maximum field of view angle θ, and the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum half field of view angle of the optical lens satisfy: 1.2 < (IH / 2) / (f×(θ / 2)) < 1.6. Meeting the above range is beneficial to controlling the smooth change of the edge distortion of the optical lens, which is convenient for later restoration through software algorithms.

[0075] In some embodiments, the maximum field of view angle FOV of the optical lens and the incident angle CRA of the chief ray of the maximum field of view angle on the image plane satisfy: 4.5 < (FOV / 2) / CRA < 5.5. Meeting the above range can enable the incident light rays to enter the image sensor at an appropriate angle while the optical lens achieves a large field of view, thereby improving the photosensitive performance of the image sensor and the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0076] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f1 of the first lens satisfy: -14.0 < f1 / f < -9.0. Meeting the above range can make the first lens have an appropriate negative optical power, which is beneficial to reducing the inclination angle of the incident light rays, thereby effectively sharing the large field of view on the object side and at the same time being able to obtain a larger field of view angle range.

[0077] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f2 of the second lens satisfy: -4.5 < f2 / f < -3.0. Meeting the above range can endow the second lens with an appropriate negative optical power, enabling it to share the negative optical power at the front end of the optical lens, thereby facilitating the avoidance of excessive light deflection caused by overly concentrated optical power of the first lens and reducing the difficulty of chromatic aberration correction of the optical lens.

[0078] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f3 of the third lens satisfy: -15.0 < f3 / f < -5.0. Meeting the above range can endow the third lens with an appropriate negative optical power, which is beneficial to increasing the imaging area of the optical lens and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0079] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f4 of the fourth lens satisfy: 2.0 < f4 / f < 6.0. Meeting the above range can endow the fourth lens with an appropriate positive optical power, which is beneficial to converging light while reducing the light deflection angle, enabling the light path to transition smoothly and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0080] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f5 of the fifth lens satisfy: 2.0 < f5 / f < 3.5. Meeting the above range can endow the fifth lens with an appropriate positive optical power, which is beneficial to improving the ability to converge light in the peripheral field of view, effectively controlling the overall optical length and reducing the volume of the optical lens, and thus facilitating the miniaturization of the optical lens.

[0081] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f6 of the sixth lens satisfy: -2.0 < f6 / f < -1.0. Meeting the above range can endow the sixth lens with an appropriate negative optical power, which is beneficial to increasing the imaging area of the optical lens and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0082] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f7 of the seventh lens satisfy: 2.0 < f7 / f < 3.0. Meeting the above range can endow the seventh lens with an appropriate positive optical power, which is beneficial to suppressing the angle of incidence of the peripheral field of view on the imaging surface, effectively transmitting more light beams to the imaging surface, and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0083] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the combined focal length f of the fifth lens and the sixth lens 56 satisfy: -50.0 < f 56 / f < -5.5. Meeting the above range can make the cemented lens formed by the fifth lens and the sixth lens have an appropriate negative optical power, which is beneficial to balancing the chromatic aberration of the optical lens and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0084] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens, the curvature radius R1 of the object side surface of the first lens, and the curvature radius R2 of the image side surface respectively satisfy: 12.0 < R1 / f, R2 / f < 6.0. Meeting the above ranges is beneficial to achieving the ultra-wide-angle characteristic, so that more scene information can be obtained, meeting the requirements of the large-range detection of the optical lens.

[0085] In some embodiments, the sagittal height Sag3 and the clear aperture semi-diameter d3 of the object side surface of the second lens and the sagittal height Sag4 and the clear aperture semi-diameter d4 of the image side surface of the second lens satisfy: 0.28 < (Sag3 / d3) / (Sag4 / d4) < 0.40. Meeting the above ranges is beneficial to compressing the central field of view of the optical lens, making the imaging quality of the edge field of view better.

[0086] In some embodiments, the total optical length TTL of the optical lens and the sum ∑CT of the central thicknesses of the first lens to the sixth lens along the optical axis respectively satisfy: 0.50 < ∑CT / TTL < 0.70. Meeting the above ranges can effectively compress the total length of the optical lens, and is beneficial to the structural design and production process of the optical lens.

[0087] To enable the system to have better optical performance, multiple aspherical lenses are used in the lens, and the surface shapes of the aspherical surfaces of the optical lens satisfy the following equation:

[0088]

[0089] Where z is the distance between the curved surface and the vertex of the curved surface in the optical axis direction, h is the distance from the optical axis to the curved surface, c is the curvature of the vertex of the curved surface, K is the conic coefficient, and A, B, C, D, E, F are the second-order, fourth-order, sixth-order, eighth-order, tenth-order, and twelfth-order surface coefficients respectively.
