Each of the six lenses has an object-side surface facing the object side and an image-side surface facing the image side.

[0100] The second lens may have positive refractive power; thereby, it helps to reduce the volume of the object-side portion of the image capturing system assembly. The image-side surface of the second lens may be convex near the optical axis; thereby, the surface shape and refractive power of the second lens can be adjusted, which helps to reduce the volume of the object-side portion of the image capturing system assembly.

[0101] The fourth lens has a positive refractive power; thereby, it helps to compress the volume at the image side end of the imaging system. The object side surface of the fourth lens is concave near the optical axis; thereby, the traveling direction of light can be adjusted, which helps to compress the outer diameter at the object side end of the imaging system. The image side surface of the fourth lens is convex near the optical axis; thereby, the traveling direction of light can be adjusted, which helps to increase the imaging surface.

[0102] The object side surface of the sixth lens may be convex near the optical axis; thereby, the surface shape of the sixth lens can be adjusted, which helps to correct aberrations. The image side surface of the sixth lens may be concave near the optical axis; thereby, it helps to adjust the back focal length within an appropriate range.

[0103] In the imaging system group disclosed in the present invention, at least one surface of at least one of the object side surface and the image side surface of at least one lens has at least one inflection point.

[0105] The object-side surface of the sixth lens may have at least one concave critical point off the axis; thereby, the direction of light incident on the sixth lens can be adjusted, which helps to reduce the surface reflection of wide-field light. The image-side surface of the sixth lens may have at least one convex critical point off the axis; thereby, the incident angle of light on the imaging surface can be adjusted, which helps to improve the response efficiency of the electronic photosensitive element. Among them, the vertical distance between the concave critical point of the object-side surface of the sixth lens and the optical axis is Yc61, and the vertical distance between the convex critical point of the image-side surface of the sixth lens and the optical axis is Yc62.

[0129] Each technical feature in the image capture system group disclosed by the above present invention can be combined and configured to achieve the corresponding effects.

[0130] In the image capture system group disclosed by the present invention, the material of the lens can be glass or plastic. If the material of the lens is glass, the freedom degree of the refractive power configuration of the image capture system group can be increased, and the influence of the external environmental temperature change on imaging can be reduced, and the glass lens can be made by techniques such as grinding or molding. If the lens material is plastic, the production cost can be effectively reduced. In addition, a spherical surface or an aspherical surface (ASP) can be set on the lens surface. Among them, the spherical lens can reduce the manufacturing difficulty, and if an aspherical surface is set on the lens surface, more control variables can be obtained thereby to eliminate aberrations, reduce the number of lenses, and effectively reduce the total length of the image capture system group of the present invention. Further, the aspherical surface can be made by methods such as plastic injection molding or molding of glass lenses.

[0131] In the image capture system group disclosed by the present invention, if the lens surface is an aspherical surface, it means that all or a part of the optically effective area of the lens surface is an aspherical surface.

[0132] In the image capturing system group disclosed in this invention, additives can be selectively added to any (or more) lens materials to produce light absorption or light interference effects, thereby changing the lens's transmittance for specific wavelengths of light and reducing stray light and color shift. For example, the additives may have the function of filtering out light in the 600 nm to 800 nm wavelength range to help reduce excess red or infrared light; or they may filter out light in the 350 nm to 450 nm wavelength range to reduce excess blue or ultraviolet light. Therefore, the additives can prevent specific wavelengths of light from interfering with imaging. Furthermore, the additives can be uniformly mixed into plastic and manufactured into lenses using injection molding technology. Additionally, the additives can also be deposited on the lens surface as a coating to provide the aforementioned effects.

[0133] In the image capturing system group disclosed in this invention, if the lens surface is convex and the position of the convex surface is not defined, it means that the convex surface can be located near the optical axis of the lens surface; if the lens surface is concave and the position of the concave surface is not defined, it means that the concave surface can be located near the optical axis of the lens surface. If the refractive power or focal length of the lens is not defined in its region, it means that the refractive power or focal length of the lens can be the refractive power or focal length of the lens near the optical axis.

[0134] In the image capturing system assembly disclosed in this invention, the inflection point of the lens surface refers to the boundary point where the curvature of the lens surface changes from positive to negative. The critical point of the lens surface refers to the point of tangency on the tangent line between a plane perpendicular to the optical axis and the lens surface, and the critical point is not located on the optical axis.

[0135] In the image capturing system group disclosed in this invention, the imaging surface of the image capturing system group can be a plane or a curved surface with any curvature, depending on the corresponding electronic photosensitive element, especially a curved surface with a concave surface facing the object side.

[0136] In the image capturing system assembly disclosed in this invention, one or more imaging correction elements (such as planar elements) can be selectively disposed between the lens closest to the imaging surface and the imaging surface in the imaging optical path to achieve the effect of correcting image curvature (such as image warping). The optical properties of the imaging correction element, such as curvature, thickness, refractive index, position, and surface type (convex or concave, spherical or aspherical, diffractive surface, and Fresnel surface, etc.), can be adjusted according to the requirements of the imaging device. Generally, a preferred configuration of the imaging correction element is to place a thin plano-concave element with a concave surface in the object-side direction near the imaging surface.

[0137] In the image capturing system assembly disclosed in this invention, at least one element with a deflecting optical path function, such as a prism or a mirror, can be selectively disposed between the subject and the imaging surface in the imaging optical path. This provides a higher degree of spatial flexibility in the spatial configuration of the image capturing system assembly, allowing the thinner and lighter electronic device to be independent of the overall optical length of the image capturing system assembly. For further explanation, please refer to... Figure 24 and Figure 25 ,in Figure 24 A schematic diagram illustrating an arrangement of an optical path reversing element according to the present invention in an image capturing system assembly is shown. Figure 25 A schematic diagram illustrating another configuration of an optical path reversing element according to the present invention in an image capturing system assembly is shown. Figure 24 and Figure 25 As shown, the image capturing system assembly can travel along the optical path from the subject (not shown) to the imaging plane IMG, and sequentially includes a first optical axis OA1, an optical path deflection element LF, and a second optical axis OA2, wherein the optical path deflection element LF can be configured as follows: Figure 24 The system shown is positioned between the lens group LG of the subject and the image capturing system assembly, or as... Figure 25 The image shown is positioned between the lens group LG and the imaging plane IMG of the image capturing system assembly. Please also refer to... Figure 26 A schematic diagram illustrating an arrangement of two optical path deflection elements according to the present invention in an image capturing system assembly is shown, such as... Figure 26 As shown, the image capturing system assembly can also travel along the optical path from the subject (not shown) to the imaging surface IMG, and sequentially includes a first optical axis OA1, a first optical path reversing element LF1, a second optical axis OA2, a second optical path reversing element LF2, and a third optical axis OA3. The first optical path reversing element LF1 is positioned between the subject and the lens group LG of the image capturing system assembly, and the second optical path reversing element LF2 is positioned between the lens group LG of the image capturing system assembly and the imaging surface IMG. Furthermore, the direction of light travel along the first optical axis OA1 can be as follows: Figure 26 The direction shown is the same as the direction of light travel along the third optical axis OA3. The image capturing system assembly may also be optionally configured with more than three optical path deflection elements. This invention is not limited to the type, number, and position of the optical path deflection elements disclosed in the accompanying drawings.

[0138] The image capturing system assembly disclosed in this invention may include at least one aperture stop, which may be located before the first lens, between the lenses, or after the last lens. The aperture stop may be of the type such as a glare stop or a field stop, and may be used to reduce stray light and help improve image quality.

[0139] In the image capturing system assembly disclosed in this invention, the aperture can be configured as a front aperture or a center aperture. A front aperture means the aperture is positioned between the subject and the first lens, while a center aperture means the aperture is positioned between the first lens and the imaging plane. A front aperture allows for a longer distance between the exit pupil and the imaging plane, resulting in a telecentric effect and increasing the efficiency of image reception by the CCD or CMOS sensor. A center aperture helps to expand the field of view of the image capturing system assembly.

[0140] This invention may appropriately incorporate a variable aperture element, which can be a mechanical component or a light-regulating element, and whose aperture size and shape can be controlled electrically or by electrical signals. The mechanical component may include movable parts such as a blade assembly or a shielding plate; the light-regulating element may include a filter element, an electrochromic material, a liquid crystal layer, or other shielding material. This variable aperture element can enhance image adjustment capabilities by controlling the amount of light entering the image or the exposure time. Furthermore, this variable aperture element can also be the aperture of this invention, allowing image quality, such as depth of field or exposure speed, to be adjusted by changing the aperture value.

[0141] Based on the above implementation methods, specific embodiments are presented below and described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Furthermore, the image signal processor 203 performs image optimization processing to further improve the image quality produced by the image capturing system. The focus assist module 202 can use an infrared or laser focus assist system to achieve fast focusing.
