[0108] 1) This invention provides a day and night confocal vehicle-mounted lens, which has a simple structure and advantages such as high resolution, large target area, small size, high relative illumination and high pixel imaging. It improves the uniformity of illumination and image clarity, and the lens head is smaller, which can capture a wider field of view and reduce the production cost of the day and night confocal vehicle-mounted lens.

[0109] 2) This invention provides a day and night confocal vehicle lens, which adopts a combination structure of 1 glass spherical lens, 1 glass aspherical lens and 4 plastic aspherical lenses. Its structure is simple, meets the imaging requirements of 5 million pixels, and has an optical head size of 6.0mm. It has a small lens head size and can shoot a maximum field of view of up to 142°, which is a wider field of view.

[0110] 3) The present invention provides a day and night confocal vehicle-mounted lens, which has high resolution and clear imaging;

[0111] 4) The present invention provides a day and night confocal vehicle lens, which has a small optical field curvature, small distortion, and clear image;

[0112] 5) The present invention provides a day and night confocal vehicle lens, wherein the first lens has negative optical power, its object side is convex and its image side is concave, and the first lens is meniscus, which is beneficial for collecting light and reducing distortion, thereby improving image quality; the aperture stop is set between the second and third lenses, which is beneficial for reducing the lens aperture; the second lens has positive optical power, its object side is concave and its image side is convex, which is beneficial for receiving refracted light more smoothly, reducing aberrations, reducing lens sensitivity, and also beneficial for reducing the lens aperture; the third lens is an aspherical lens with positive optical power, which is beneficial for refracting light and reducing the lens length; the fourth and fifth lenses are cemented doublet lenses, which are beneficial for correcting chromatic aberration and improving image quality; the sixth lens is a meniscus lens with negative optical power, which is beneficial for increasing the image plane size, correcting the CRA chip, and realizing a large target area of ​​the lens;

[0113] 6) The present invention provides a day and night co-focus vehicle lens. When the maximum field of view of the day and night co-focus vehicle lens is 142°, the relative illumination is >0.6, which reflects that the lens has a high relative illumination and a better uniformity of image illumination.
