[0054] For a better understanding of the present invention, various aspects of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these detailed descriptions are merely illustrative of embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention in any way. Throughout this specification, like reference numerals refer to like elements. The expression "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0055] It should be noted that in this specification, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used solely to distinguish one feature from another and do not limit the features. Thus, the first lens discussed below could also be referred to as the second lens or the third lens without departing from the teachings of the present invention.

[0056] In the drawings, the thickness, size, and shape of the lenses are slightly exaggerated for ease of illustration. Specifically, the shapes of the spherical and aspherical surfaces shown in the drawings are provided by way of example. That is, the shapes of the spherical and aspherical surfaces are not limited to those shown in the drawings. The drawings are for illustration only and are not drawn strictly to scale.

[0057] In this article, the paraxial region refers to the area near the optical axis. If a lens surface is convex and the location of the convex surface is undefined, it means that the lens surface is convex at least in the paraxial region. If a lens surface is concave and the location of the concave surface is undefined, it means that the lens surface is concave at least in the paraxial region. The surface of each lens closest to the subject is called the object-side surface of the lens, and the surface of each lens closest to the imaging plane is called the image-side surface of the lens.

[0058] It should also be understood that the terms "comprises," "including," "having," "includes," and / or "comprising," when used in this specification, indicate 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. Furthermore, when expressions such as "at least one of..." appear after a list of listed features, they modify the entire list of features, rather than modifying the individual elements in the list. Furthermore, when describing embodiments of the invention, "may" is used to mean "one or more embodiments of the invention." Furthermore, the term "exemplary" is intended to refer to an example or illustration.

[0059] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs. It should also be understood that terms (such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries) should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant technology and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly defined as such herein.

[0060] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0061] The optical lens according to the embodiment of the present invention includes, from the object side to the image side, a first lens, an aperture, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, a seventh lens, a filter, and a protective glass.

[0062] In some embodiments, the first lens element may have negative optical power, which helps reduce the inclination angle of the incident light, thereby effectively sharing the large object-side field of view. Both the object-side and image-side surfaces of the first lens element are concave, which can reduce the effective working aperture of the first lens element while preventing excessive light divergence that would otherwise increase the aperture of the lens element behind the optical lens element. This also reduces the impact of the coma aberration generated by the first lens element on the optical lens element, thereby improving the imaging quality of the optical lens element.

[0063] In some embodiments, the second lens element may have positive optical power, which helps converge light while reducing light deflection angles and ensuring a smooth transition. The second lens element has a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface. This not only reduces the impact of field curvature generated by the second lens element on the optical lens, but also reduces ghosting energy from light reflected from the object side of the second lens, thereby improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0064] In some embodiments, the third lens element may have positive refractive power, which helps converge light while reducing light deflection angles, ensuring a smooth transition of light. The convex object side of the third lens element effectively prevents vertical chromatic aberration caused by excessive light deflection angles at the edges of the field of view during the transition from the second lens element to the third lens element, thereby improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0065] In some embodiments, the fourth lens element may have negative optical power, which is beneficial for increasing the imaging area of the optical lens, while reducing the difficulty of correcting chromatic aberration of the optical lens and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0066] In some embodiments, the fifth lens element may have positive optical power, which helps converge light while reducing light deflection angles and ensuring a smooth transition of light. Both the object and image side surfaces of the fifth lens element are convex, which not only converges light from the edge of the field of view, allowing the converged light to enter the back-end optical system smoothly, but also reduces the coma aberration generated by the fifth lens element itself, improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0067] In some embodiments, the sixth lens element may have negative optical power, which helps increase the imaging area of the optical lens and improve the imaging quality. The sixth lens element has a concave object-side surface and a convex image-side surface, which can focus light at the edges of the field of view, preventing excessive light divergence and the generation of various higher-order aberrations, thereby improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0068] In some embodiments, the seventh lens element may have positive refractive power, which helps suppress the angle of incidence of the peripheral field of view on the imaging plane, effectively transmitting more light beams to the imaging plane, and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens. The seventh lens element has a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface, which helps improve the relative illumination of the peripheral field of view, avoid vignetting, and enhance the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0069] In some embodiments, the third lens and the fourth lens can be cemented to form a cemented lens, which can effectively correct the chromatic aberration of the optical lens, reduce the decentration 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 difficulty of the optical lens processing technology and improving the assembly yield of the optical lens.

[0070] In some embodiments, an aperture for limiting the light beam may be provided between the first lens and the second lens. The aperture may be provided near the object side of the second lens, which can not only reduce the generation of ghost images of the optical lens, but also can converge the range of the light emitted from the front end of the optical lens and reduce the rear port diameter of the optical lens.

[0071] In some embodiments, the aperture value FNO of the optical lens satisfies: FNO≤1.60. Meeting the above range is conducive to achieving a large aperture characteristic and ensuring image clarity in low-light environments or at night.

[0072] In some embodiments, the maximum field of view (FOV) of the optical lens satisfies: 100° < FOV. Meeting the above range is conducive to achieving wide-angle characteristics, thereby being able to obtain more scene information and meet the needs of large-scale detection.

[0073] In some embodiments, the incident angle (CRA) of the principal ray of the optical lens's maximum field of view on the image plane satisfies the following conditions: 18° < CRA < 28°. Meeting this range allows for a larger tolerance between the CRA of the optical lens and the CRA of the chip's photosensitive element, improving the optical lens's adaptability to image sensors.

[0074] In some embodiments, the total optical length TTL and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy the following relationship: 4.5 < TTL / f < 6.0. Meeting the above range can effectively limit the length of the lens and achieve miniaturization of the optical lens.

[0075] 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 the following conditions: 1.6 < IH / f < 1.9. Meeting this range enables both wide-angle performance, thus satisfying wide-area photography requirements, and a large image plane, thereby improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0076] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f, maximum field of view (FOV), and true image height (IH) corresponding to the maximum field of view of the optical lens satisfy the following conditions: 0.62 < (IH / 2) / (f × Tan(FOV / 2)) < 0.72. Meeting these limits allows for reasonable control of optical lens distortion, facilitating subsequent restoration using software algorithms.

[0077] In some embodiments, the maximum field of view (FOV) of the optical lens and the angle of incidence (CRA) of the principal ray at the maximum field of view on the image plane satisfy the following conditions: 1.8 < (FOV / 2) / CRA < 2.8. Meeting this range allows the optical lens to achieve a large field of view while ensuring that incident light strikes the image sensor at an appropriate angle, thereby improving the image sensor's photosensitivity and enhancing the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0078] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f1 of the first lens element satisfy the following: -2.0 < f1 / f < -1.0. Meeting this range allows the first lens element to have an appropriately negative focal power, which helps to moderate the change in the refraction angle of incident light, avoiding excessive aberrations caused by excessive refraction changes. It also allows more light to enter the rear optical system, increasing illumination 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 f2 of the second lens satisfy the following relationship: 3.0 < f2 / f < 5.0. Meeting this range allows the second lens to have an appropriately positive focal power, which helps converge light while reducing the angle of light deflection, ensuring a smooth transition of light 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 f3 of the third lens element satisfy the following relationship: 0 < f3 / f < 1.2. Meeting this range allows the third lens element to have an appropriately positive focal power, which helps converge light while reducing the angle of light deflection, ensuring a smooth transition of light and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0081] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f4 of the fourth lens element satisfy the following: -1.5 < f4 / f < 0. Meeting this range allows the fourth lens element to have an appropriately negative optical power, which helps balance the spherical aberration of the third lens element, corrects chromatic aberration of the optical lens, and improves the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0082] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f5 of the fifth lens element satisfy the following: 0 < f5 / f < 1.6. Meeting this range allows the fifth lens element to have an appropriately positive focal power, which helps balance various aberrations of the optical lens and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0083] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f6 of the sixth lens element satisfy the following: -1.8 < f6 / f < -1.1. Meeting this range allows the sixth lens element to have an appropriate negative focal power, which helps increase the imaging area of the optical lens and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0084] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f7 of the seventh lens element satisfy the following conditions: 1.5 < f7 / f < 3.0. Meeting this range allows the seventh lens element to have an appropriately positive focal power, which helps improve the ability to converge light at the edge of the field of view, thereby enhancing the relative illumination of the optical lens.

[0085] In some embodiments, the maximum field of view (FOV) of the optical lens, the true image height (IH) corresponding to the maximum field of view, and the optical aperture (D1) of the first lens on the object side satisfy the following conditions: 0.6 < D1 / IH / Tan (FOV / 2) < 1.1. Meeting these limits allows the optical lens to have a large field of view and a large image area while maintaining a small front aperture, facilitating miniaturization of the optical lens.

[0086] In some embodiments, the total optical length TTL of the optical lens and the sum of the center thicknesses of the first through seventh lenses along the optical axis, ΣCT, satisfy the following condition: 0.5 < ΣCT / TTL < 0.7. Meeting this range effectively reduces the total length of the optical lens and facilitates its structural design and production process.

[0087] In order to make the system have better optical performance, multiple aspheric lenses are used in the lens, and the shape of each aspheric surface of the optical lens satisfies the following equation:

[0088]

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

[0090] The present invention is further illustrated below with reference to several embodiments. In each embodiment, the thickness, radius of curvature, and material selection of each lens in the optical lens vary; for details, please refer to the parameter tables of each embodiment. The following embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Any other changes, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications that do not deviate from the novelties of the present invention shall be considered equivalent replacements and are included within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0111] Figure 2The following figure shows the field curvature curve of Example 1, which shows the degree of curvature of light of different wavelengths in the meridional and sagittal image planes. The horizontal axis represents the offset (unit: mm), and the vertical axis represents the half field angle (unit: degrees). As can be seen from the figure, the field curvature of the meridional and sagittal image planes is controlled within ±0.08mm, indicating that the optical lens can effectively correct field curvature.

[0112] Figure 3 The following graph shows the F-Tanθ distortion curve for Example 1, which represents the F-Tanθ distortion of light of different wavelengths at different image heights on the imaging plane. The horizontal axis represents the F-Tanθ distortion (unit: %), and the vertical axis represents the half field of view (unit: °). As can be seen from the graph, the F-Tanθ distortion of the optical lens is uniformly controlled within ±35%, indicating that the F-Tanθ distortion of the optical lens is effectively controlled, facilitating subsequent processing using software algorithms.

[0113] Figure 4 A relative illumination curve for Example 1 is shown, showing relative illumination values at different field angles on the imaging plane. The horizontal axis represents the half field angle (unit: degrees), and the vertical axis represents the relative illumination (unit: %). As can be seen from the graph, the relative illumination value of the optical lens is still greater than 50% at the maximum half field angle, indicating that the optical lens has good relative illumination.

[0114] Figure 5 A modulation transfer function (MTF) graph of Example 1 shows the degree of lens imaging modulation at different spatial frequencies across the field of view. The horizontal axis represents spatial frequency (unit: lp / mm), and the vertical axis represents the MTF value. As can be seen from the graph, the MTF value of this embodiment is consistently above 0.4 across the entire field of view. Within the range of 0 to 160 lp / mm, the MTF curve decreases evenly and smoothly from the center to the edge of the field of view, demonstrating excellent imaging quality and detail resolution at both low and high frequencies.

[0115] Figure 6 The following graph shows the axial aberration curve for Example 1, which represents the aberration on the optical axis at the imaging plane for each wavelength. The horizontal axis represents the axial aberration value (unit: μm), and the vertical axis represents the normalized pupil radius. As can be seen from the graph, the offset of the axial aberration is controlled within ±15 μm, indicating that the optical lens is able to effectively correct axial aberration.

The horizontal axis represents the vertical chromatic aberration value of each wavelength relative to the central wavelength (unit: μm), and the vertical axis represents the normalized field of view angle. As can be seen from the graph, the vertical chromatic aberration for both the longest and shortest wavelengths is controlled within ±4 μm, demonstrating that this optical lens is capable of excellently correcting chromatic aberration in the peripheral field of view and the secondary spectrum across the entire image plane.
