[0063] Please refer to Figure 1 In one embodiment, the optical lens group 10 of this invention is suitable for projection. The projection lens 20 emits multiple imaging rays from a multi-source generating unit PM, which, through the optical lens group 10 of this invention, generate multiple imaging rays a, b, and c with different exit angles for projection onto the environment in front. The range of exit angles is, for example, between -ω degrees and ω degrees, where ω is the maximum half-exit angle of the optical lens group 10. The imaging rays a, b, and c are not limited to any particular form; their directions are described here as dashed lines. The number of imaging rays a, b, and c is not limited to three; it can be any number other than three or one. Figure 1In diagram A, imaging rays a, b, and c are used as representatives. These rays each have a chief ray and a marginal ray (not shown in the diagram). The chief and marginal rays of imaging ray a are approximately parallel to each other; similarly, the chief and marginal rays of imaging ray b and imaging ray c are also approximately parallel to each other. In detail... Figure 1 The imaging rays a, b, and c of A are respectively... Figure 1 The light emitted by the light sources Pa, Pb, and Pc at different positions in B, from Figure 1 As can be seen from A, the imaging rays emitted by the light source P at different positions will all exit the optical lens group 10 in a parallel manner after passing through the optical lens group 10, but the direction of exit will vary depending on the position. Figure 1 For example, light source Pa passes through optical lens group 10 and exits optical lens group 10 obliquely to the lower left and parallel (as shown by imaging ray a). Light source Pb at another position passes through optical lens group 10 and exits optical lens group 10 directly to the left and parallel (as shown by imaging ray b). Light source Pc at yet another position passes through optical lens group 10 and exits optical lens group 10 obliquely to the upper left and parallel (as shown by imaging ray c).

[0064] Please refer to Figure 1 In one embodiment, the multi-source light generation unit PM includes a plurality of light sources P arranged in an array. The light sources P are, for example, near-infrared light sources or green light sources, but this invention is not limited thereto. Furthermore, in other embodiments, these light sources P may be arranged in a ring or other arrangements, and this invention is not limited thereto. The types of light sources P include, for example, laser diodes, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), mini LEDs, or micro LEDs, wherein the size range of mini LEDs is, for example, between 75 μm and 300 μm, and the size range of micro LEDs is, for example, less than 75 μm. The emitting surfaces of these light sources P form a reference surface 100a. In one embodiment, the reference surface 100a is the emitting surface of the multi-source light generation unit PM.

[0065] It should be noted that if the optical lens group 10 of the embodiments of the present invention is used for projection, for example, if the optical lens group 10 is the projection lens of a projector, then the following description of the optical specifications of the embodiments of the present invention is based on the assumption that reversely tracking of the light direction means that a parallel imaging ray passes through the optical lens group 10 from the first side to the reference surface 100a located on the second side for focusing and imaging. The reference surface 100a is the light-emitting surface of the multi-source generating unit PM, the second side is the side facing the multi-source generating unit PM (i.e., the incident light side), and the first side is the opposite side (i.e., the emitting light side). Furthermore, if the optical lens group 10 of the embodiments of the present invention is used for projection, then the second side surface of each lens of the optical lens group 10 referred to below refers to the surface facing the multi-source generating unit PM (i.e., the incident light surface), and the first side surface of each lens of the optical lens group 10 referred to below is the opposite surface (i.e., the emitting light surface).

[0066] If the optical lens group 10 of the embodiments of the present invention is used for imaging, for example, if the optical lens group 10 is the imaging lens of a camera, then the following description of the criteria for determining the optical specifications of the embodiments of the present invention assumes that the ray tracing is a parallel imaging ray that passes through the optical lens group 10 from the first side to the reference surface 100a located on the second side for focusing and imaging, wherein the reference surface 100a is the imaging surface, the second side is the side facing the imaging surface (i.e., the image side), and the first side is the side facing the object to be photographed (i.e., the object side). Furthermore, if the optical lens group 10 of the embodiments of the present invention is used for imaging, then the second side surface of each lens of the optical lens group 10 referred to below refers to the surface facing the imaging surface (i.e., the image side surface), and the first side surface of each lens of the optical lens group 10 referred to below refers to the surface facing the object to be photographed (i.e., the object side surface).

[0067] The terms "optical axis region," "circumferential region," "concave surface," and "convex surface" used in this specification and the claims should be interpreted based on the definitions listed in this specification.

[0068] The optical system described in this specification includes at least one lens that receives imaging rays incident on the optical system, ranging from parallel to the optical axis to within a half-angle of view (HFOV) relative to the optical axis. The imaging rays (when the optical lens group is the imaging lens of a camera) or the reverse tracing of the imaging rays (when the optical lens group is the projection lens of a projector) image onto a reference plane through the optical system. The statement "a lens has a positive refractive index (or negative refractive index)" means that the paraxial refractive index of the lens, calculated using Gaussian optics theory, is positive (or negative). The statement "the first side (or second side) of the lens" is defined as the specific range through which the imaging rays pass on the lens surface. The imaging rays include at least two types of rays: the chief ray (Lc) and the marginal ray (Lm) (e.g., ...). Figure 2(As shown). The first side (or second side) of the lens may be divided into different regions depending on the location, including an optical axis region, a circumferential region, or one or more relay regions in some embodiments, which will be described in detail below.

[0069] Figure 2 This is a radial sectional view of lens 100. Two reference points are defined on the surface of lens 100: a center point and a transition point. The center point of the lens surface is the intersection of this surface and the optical axis I. For example... Figure 2 As illustrated, the first center point CP1 is located on the first side surface 110 of lens 100, and the second center point CP2 is located on the second side surface 120 of lens 100. A transition point is a point on the lens surface whose tangent is perpendicular to the optical axis I. The optical boundary OB of the lens surface is defined as the point where the outermost radially outermost edge ray Lm passing through the lens surface intersects the lens surface. All transition points are located between the optical axis I and the optical boundary OB of the lens surface. Furthermore, if a single lens surface has multiple transition points, these transition points are named sequentially from the first transition point in a radially outward direction. For example, the first transition point TP1 (closest to the optical axis I), the second transition point TP2 (as shown in the example), and the third transition point TP2 (as shown in the example) are named sequentially from the first transition point in a radially outward direction. Figure 5 (as shown) and the Nth conversion point (farthest from optical axis I).

[0070] The region from the center point to the first conversion point TP1 is defined as the optical axis region, which includes the center point. The region radially outward from the Nth conversion point farthest from the optical axis I to the optical boundary OB is defined as the circumferential region. In some embodiments, a relay region may be additionally included between the optical axis region and the circumferential region; the number of relay regions depends on the number of conversion points.

[0071] When a ray parallel to optical axis I passes through a region, if the ray bends towards optical axis I and intersects with optical axis I at the second side A2 of the lens, then that region is a convex surface. When a ray parallel to optical axis I passes through a region, if the extension of the ray intersects with optical axis I at the first side A1 of the lens, then that region is a concave surface.

[0072] In addition, see Figure 2 The lens 100 may also include an assembly portion 130 extending radially outward from the optical boundary OB. The assembly portion 130 is generally used for assembling the lens 100 to a corresponding element (not shown) in an optical system. Imaging rays do not reach the assembly portion 130. The structure and shape of the assembly portion 130 are merely illustrative examples of the invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The assembly portion 130 of the lens discussed below may be partially or entirely omitted in the drawings.

[0073] See Figure 3Define the region between the center point CP and the first conversion point TP1 as the optical axis region Z1. Define the region between the first conversion point TP1 and the optical boundary OB of the lens surface as the circumferential region Z2. For example... Figure 3 As shown, parallel ray 211 intersects optical axis I at the second side A2 of lens 200 after passing through optical axis region Z1. That is, the focal point of parallel ray 211 passing through optical axis region Z1 is located at point R on the second side A2 of lens 200. Since the ray intersects optical axis I at the second side A2 of lens 200, optical axis region Z1 is convex. Conversely, parallel ray 212 diverges after passing through circular region Z2. Figure 3 As shown, the extension EL of parallel ray 212 after passing through the circular region Z2 intersects the optical axis I on the first side A1 of the lens 200. That is, the focal point of parallel ray 212 after passing through the circular region Z2 is located at point M on the first side A1 of the lens 200. Since the extension EL of the ray intersects the optical axis I at the first side A1 of the lens 200, the circular region Z2 is concave. Figure 3 In the lens 200 shown, the first conversion point TP1 is the boundary between the optical axis region and the circumferential region, that is, the first conversion point TP1 is the boundary point between the convex surface and the concave surface.

[0074] On the other hand, the convexity / concavity of the optical axis region can also be determined using the method commonly used by those knowledgeable in the field: judging the convexity / concavity of the lens's optical axis region by the sign of the paraxial radius of curvature (R-value). The R-value is commonly used in optical design software, such as Zemax or CodeV. It is also frequently found in lens data sheets within optical design software. For the first side, a positive R-value indicates a convex optical axis region; a negative R-value indicates a concave optical axis region. Conversely, for the second side, a positive R-value indicates a concave optical axis region; a negative R-value indicates a convex optical axis region. This method yields results consistent with the aforementioned method using the intersection of a ray / ray extension with the optical axis, where the focal point of a ray parallel to the optical axis is located on either the first or second side of the lens to determine the convexity / concavity. The terms "a region is convex (or concave)," "a region is convex (or concave)," or "a convex (or concave) region" used in this specification may be used interchangeably.

[0075] Figures 4 to 6 Examples of determining the surface shape and boundaries of the lens region in various situations are provided, including the aforementioned optical axis region, circumferential region, and relay region.

[0076] Figure 4 This is a radial sectional view of lens 300. See also... Figure 4The second side surface 320 of lens 300 has only one transition point TP1 within the optical boundary OB. The optical axis region Z1 and circumferential region Z2 of the second side surface 320 of lens 300 are as follows... Figure 4 As shown. The R value of this second side surface 320 is positive (i.e., R>0), therefore, the optical axis region Z1 is concave.

[0077] Generally, the surface shape of each region bounded by a transition point will be opposite to that of its adjacent regions. Therefore, the transition point can be used to define the change in surface shape, i.e., from the transition point, a surface changes from concave to convex or from convex to concave. Figure 4 In the middle, since the optical axis region Z1 is concave and its shape changes at the transition point TP1, the circumferential region Z2 is convex.

[0078] Figure 5 This is a radial sectional view of lens 400. See also... Figure 5 The first side surface 410 of lens 400 has a first conversion point TP1 and a second conversion point TP2. The area between the optical axis I and the first conversion point TP1 is defined as the optical axis region Z1 of the first side surface 410. The R value of this first side surface 410 is positive (i.e., R>0), therefore, the optical axis region Z1 is convex.

[0079] A circular region Z2 is defined between the second conversion point TP2 and the optical boundary OB of the first side surface 410 of the lens 400. This circular region Z2 of the first side surface 410 is also convex. Furthermore, a relay region Z3 is defined between the first conversion point TP1 and the second conversion point TP2. This relay region Z3 of the first side surface 410 is concave. See again. Figure 5 The first side surface 410, radially outward from the optical axis I, sequentially includes the optical axis region Z1 between the optical axis I and the first conversion point TP1, the relay region Z3 located between the first conversion point TP1 and the second conversion point TP2, and the circumferential region Z2 between the second conversion point TP2 and the optical boundary OB of the first side surface 410 of the lens 400. Since the optical axis region Z1 is convex, and its surface shape changes to concave from the first conversion point TP1, the relay region Z3 is concave. And since its surface shape changes to convex again from the second conversion point TP2, the circumferential region Z2 is convex.

[0080] Figure 6 This is a radial sectional view of lens 500. The first side surface 510 of lens 500 has no transition point. For a lens surface without a transition point, such as the first side surface 510 of lens 500, the region from 0% to 50% of the distance measured from the optical axis I to the optical boundary OB of the lens surface is defined as the optical axis region, and the region from 50% to 100% of the distance measured from the optical axis I to the optical boundary OB of the lens surface is defined as the circumferential region. See also... Figure 6The lens 500 shown defines the optical axis region Z1 of the first side surface 510 as 50% of the distance between the optical axis I and the optical boundary OB of the lens 500 surface measured from the optical axis I. The R value of this first side surface 510 is positive (i.e., R>0), therefore, the optical axis region Z1 is convex. Since the first side surface 510 of the lens 500 has no transition point, the circumferential region Z2 of the first side surface 510 is also convex. The lens 500 may further have an assembly portion (not shown) extending radially outward from the circumferential region Z2.

This indicates that, compared to existing optical lens groups, this third embodiment still provides better optical quality even with a system length reduced to approximately 7.990 mm.

[0125] As can be seen from the above description, the advantages of the third embodiment compared to the first embodiment are: the system length of the third embodiment is shorter than that of the first embodiment; the thickness difference between the lens optical axis and the circumferential region in the third embodiment is smaller than that in the first embodiment, making it easier to manufacture and thus resulting in a higher yield.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the optical axis region 417 of the first side surface 41 of the fourth lens 4 is convex, the optical axis region 427 of the second side surface 42 of the fourth lens 4 is concave, the circumferential region 528 of the second side surface 52 of the fifth lens 5 is convex, and the sixth lens 6 has a positive refractive index, and the optical axis region 627 of the second side surface 62 of the sixth lens 6 is convex. It should be noted that, for clearer illustration, Figure 23 The labels for the optical axis region and the circumferential region that are similar in shape to the first embodiment are omitted.

[0134] The optical lens group 10 of the fifth embodiment exhibits excellent thermal stability. Furthermore, the optical lens group 10 exhibits extremely small focal length shifts under different ambient temperatures. For example, setting a base temperature of 20°C, the focal length shift of the optical lens group 10 is 0.000 mm at 20°C; 0.012 mm at -25°C; 0.005 mm at 0°C; and -0.013 mm at 70°C.

[0135] Detailed optical data for optical lens group 10 are as follows: Figure 25 As shown, the fifth embodiment has an effective focal length (EFL) of 3.696 mm, a half field of view (HFOV) of 60.000 degrees, a system length (TTL) of 7.875 mm, an aperture value (f-number, Fno) of 1.848, and a light circle radius (LCR) of 3.521 mm.

[0136] like Figure 26 As shown, the aspherical coefficients of the first side surface 11 and the second side surface 12 of the first lens 1, the first side surface 21 and the second side surface 22 of the second lens 2, the first side surface 41 and the second side surface 42 of the fourth lens 4, the first side surface 51 and the second side surface 52 of the fifth lens 5 and the first side surface 61 and the second side surface 62 of the sixth lens 6 in the fifth embodiment are in formula (2).

[0137] Furthermore, the important parameters of the optical lens group 10 in the fifth embodiment and their relationships are as follows: Figure 27 and Figure 28 As shown.

[0138] See also Figure 24 A to Figure 24 D, Figure 24 The diagram illustrating the fifth embodiment of A shows the longitudinal spherical aberration on reference plane 100a when the wavelengths are 520 nm, 530 nm, and 540 nm. Figure 24 B and Figure 24 The diagram for C illustrates the field curvature aberration in the sagittal and tangential directions on the reference plane 100a for wavelengths of 520 nm, 530 nm, and 540 nm, respectively. Figure 24 The diagram for D illustrates the distortion aberration on reference plane 100a in the fifth embodiment when the wavelengths are 520 nm, 530 nm, and 540 nm. This fifth embodiment's longitudinal spherical aberration diagram. Figure 24 In A, the imaging point deviation of off-axis rays at different heights is controlled within ±0.035mm. Figure 24 In the field curvature aberration diagram of B, the focal length variation for the three representative wavelengths falls within ±0.06 mm across the entire field of view. Figure 24 In the field curvature aberration diagram of C, the focal length variation of the three representative wavelengths falls within ±0.16 mm across the entire field of view. Figure 24 The distortion aberration diagram of D shows that the distortion aberration of this fifth embodiment is maintained in the range of -50% to 10%. This indicates that, compared to existing optical lens groups, this fifth embodiment still provides better optical quality even with a system length reduced to approximately 7.875 mm.

[0139] As can be seen from the above description, the advantages of the fifth embodiment compared with the first embodiment are: the system length of the fifth embodiment is shorter than that of the first embodiment; and the distortion aberration of the fifth embodiment is smaller than that of the first embodiment.
