Description

Technical Field

[0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to optical devices for improving optical performance. Background Technology

[0002] Camera module captures objects and stores them as images or videos, and is installed in a variety of applications. In particular, camera modules are manufactured in very small sizes and are used not only in portable devices such as smartphones, tablet PCs, and laptops, but also in drones and vehicles offering various functions. For example, the optical system of a camera module may include an imaging lens for forming an image and an image sensor for converting the formed image into an electrical signal. In this case, the camera module can perform autofocus (AF) by automatically adjusting the distance between the image sensor and the imaging lens to align the focal length of the lens, and can perform zoom functions by increasing or decreasing the magnification of a remote object via a zoom lens. Furthermore, the camera module employs image stabilization (IS) technology to correct or prevent image stabilization caused by unstable fixed equipment or camera movement due to user movement. The most important element for the camera module to acquire images is the imaging lens that forms the image. Recently, there has been increasing interest in high efficiency and high image quality, high resolution, and research is underway on optical systems including multiple lenses to achieve this. For example, research is underway to achieve efficient optical systems using multiple imaging lenses with positive (+) and / or negative (-) refractive power. However, when multiple lenses are included, it is difficult to obtain excellent optical and aberration characteristics.

[0003] As the back focal length (BFL) of an optical system increases, light incident on the optical system is reflected on the inner surface of the instrument containing the optical system, potentially resulting in phenomena such as flares or ghosting. Therefore, a new optical system capable of addressing these problems is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Technical solutions

[0008] An optical system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an optical path changing member and a plurality of lenses arranged sequentially along an optical axis from the object side toward the image side. The optical path changing member includes a mirror or a prism, and the distance between the plurality of lenses remains unchanged. The effective aperture of the lens closest to the image side among the plurality of lenses is larger than the effective aperture of the other lenses.

[0009] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of lenses may include a first lens to a fifth lens arranged sequentially along the optical axis in a direction from the object side to the image side. The effective aperture size of each of the first lens and the fifth lens may satisfy Equation 1 below.

[0010] [Formula 1]

[0011] 0.8 <CA11 / CA51<2

[0012] 0.8 <CA12 / CA52<2

[0013] (In Equation 1, CA11 represents the effective aperture size on the object-side surface of the first lens, and CA12 represents the effective aperture size on the image-side surface of the first lens. Furthermore, CA51 represents the effective aperture size on the object-side surface of the fifth lens, and CA52 represents the effective aperture size on the image-side surface of the fifth lens.)

[0014] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the effective aperture size of the first lens can be the largest among the effective aperture sizes of the first to fourth lenses. When the distance from the image side surface of the fifth lens to the image sensor in the optical axis direction is defined as the back focal length (BFL), the following Equation 2 can be satisfied.

[0015] [Equation 2]

[0016] 0 <CA / BFL<1

[0017] (In Equation 2, CA is the size of the effective aperture of the object-side or image-side surface of a lens selected from the first to the fifth lens.)

[0018] According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the distance from the object-side surface of the first lens to the image sensor in the optical axis direction is defined as the total track length (TTL), the following equation 3 can be satisfied.

[0019] [Formula 3]

[0020] 3 <TTL / BFL<4.5

[0021] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the effective focal length (EFL) of the optical system can be greater than 10 mm. The optical system can have an F-number of less than 3.8. The principal ray incident angle (CRA) of the optical system can be less than 40 degrees. The first lens can have positive (+) refractive power. The fifth lens can have positive refractive power. The object-side surface of the third lens can have an inflection point.

[0022] An optical system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an optical path changing component, a plurality of lenses, and an image sensor arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the object side to the image side. The optical path changing component includes a mirror or a prism. When the distance between the plurality of lenses does not change and the distance from the image-side surface of the lens closest to the image sensor in the optical axis direction to the image sensor is defined as BFL (back focal length), the following Equation 4 can be satisfied.

[0023] [Formula 4]

[0024] 0.5 <ImgH / BFL<1.5

[0025] (In Equation 4, ImgH represents half the diagonal length of the effective area of ​​the image sensor.)

[0026] Beneficial effects

[0027] The optical system according to embodiments of the present invention can have improved optical characteristics. Specifically, the optical system may include multiple lenses, and the effective aperture of the last lens closest to the image sensor may be larger than the effective aperture of the first lens closest to the object side. In particular, the effective aperture of the last lens may be the largest among the multiple lenses, thus improving optical characteristics can be obtained when designing zoom lenses for image sensors of various sizes (e.g., from small to large).

[0028] The optical system according to embodiments of the present invention can minimize or prevent the occurrence of phenomena such as flare and ghosting. Specifically, the optical system can have a relatively small BFL value. Therefore, the reflection of light incident on the optical system at the structure between the last lens and the image sensor can be minimized or prevented. Furthermore, the optical system can easily correct the CRA (lead ray angle) value, thus it can have improved optical characteristics. Attached Figure Description

The first to fifth lenses 110, 120, 130, 140, and 150 may be arranged sequentially along the optical axis of the optical system 1000. Light corresponding to the image information of the object may pass sequentially through the first to fifth lenses 110, 120, 130, 140, and 150 and be incident on the image sensor 300.

[0037] The optical system 1000 may further include an optical path changing member 50. The optical path changing member 50 can change the path of light by reflecting externally incident light. The optical path changing member 50 may include a mirror or a prism. For example, the optical path changing member 50 may include a right-angle prism. When the optical path changing member 50 includes a right-angle prism, the optical path changing member 50 can change the path of incident light by reflecting it at a 90-degree angle. The optical path changing member 50 may be positioned closer to the object side than the first to fifth lenses 110, 120, 130, 140, and 150.

The optical path changing member 50 can change the path of light in a set direction by reflecting externally incident light. That is, the optical path changing member 50 can change the path of the light incident on the optical path changing member 50 toward the first lens to the fifth lens 110, 120, 130, 140 and 150.

Referring to Table 2, the fifth lens 150 can have the largest focal length value among the first to fifth lenses 110, 120, 130, 140, and 150.

[0122] Table 4 shows the values ​​for the optical system 1000 described above. Referring to Table 4, it can be seen that the optical system 1000 according to the embodiment satisfies at least one of equations 1 to 9. In detail, it can be seen that the optical system 1000 satisfies all of equations 1 to 10. Therefore, the optical system 1000 according to the embodiment can have the following characteristics: Figure 2 The aberration characteristics are shown. In detail, Figure 2 This is a graph showing the aberration diagram of the optical system 1000 according to an embodiment, where spherical aberration, astigmatism curvature, and distortion are measured from left to right. Figure 2 In the diagram, the X-axis represents focal length (mm) and distortion (%), and the Y-axis represents the height of the image sensor. Furthermore, the spherical aberration graph is a graph of light in the wavelength bands of 435nm, 486nm, 546nm, 587nm, and 656.3nm, and the astigmatism and distortion graph is a graph of light in the wavelength band of 546nm. The optical system 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention can have improved optical characteristics. Specifically, in the optical system 1000, the effective aperture of the fifth lens 150 closest to the image sensor 300 can be larger than the effective aperture of the first lens 110 closest to the object side, thereby improving optical characteristics. In particular, since the effective aperture of the fifth lens 150 is the largest among the multiple lenses, improved optical characteristics can be obtained when designing zoom lenses with image sensors 300 of various sizes (e.g., from small to large). Furthermore, improved optical characteristics can be obtained when the optical system 1000 is used as a telephoto lens.

[0123] An optical system can have improved optical characteristics by having a relatively small back focal length (BFL) value. Specifically, because the distance BFL between the image sensor 300 and the fifth lens 150 has a relatively small value, reflection of light incident on the optical system 1000 at the structure between the fifth lens 150 and the image sensor 300 can be prevented or minimized. Therefore, by easily correcting the CRA value (e.g., the angle of light passing through the fifth lens 150 and incident on the image sensor 300), the optical system 1000 according to the embodiment can have improved optical characteristics.
