[0055] For a better understanding of the present application, various aspects of the present application will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these detailed descriptions are merely descriptions of embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application in any way. Throughout the specification, the same reference numerals refer to the same elements. The expression "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0056] 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.

[0057] 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.

[0058] 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.

[0059] 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. In addition, 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. In addition, when describing embodiments of the present application, "may" is used to mean "one or more embodiments of the present application." And, the term "exemplary" is intended to refer to an example or illustration.

[0060] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application 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.

[0061] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0062] The optical lens of the embodiment of the present invention includes, along the optical axis from the object side to the imaging surface, a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, an aperture, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, a seventh lens, a filter and a protective glass.

[0063] In some embodiments, the first lens may have a negative optical power, which is beneficial to reducing the inclination angle of the incident light, thereby effectively sharing the large object-side field of view. The object side surface of the first lens is convex, and the image side surface is concave, which is beneficial to collecting the marginal field of view light into the rear optical lens as much as possible and achieving large-angle light collection.

[0064] In some embodiments, the second lens may have a negative optical power, and its image side surface is concave, which can share the negative optical power at the front end of the lens, thereby being beneficial to reducing the excessive light deflection caused by the over-concentration of the optical power of the first lens and reducing the difficulty of chromatic aberration correction of the optical lens.

[0065] In some embodiments, the third lens may have a negative optical power, its object side surface is convex, and the image side surface is concave, which is beneficial to reducing the light deflection angle and enabling the light to transition smoothly, thereby improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0066] In some embodiments, the fourth lens may have a positive optical power, which is beneficial to improving the light converging ability of the optical lens. Both the object side surface and the image side surface of the fourth lens are convex, which is beneficial to balancing various aberrations generated by the optical lens and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0067] In some embodiments, the fifth lens may have a negative optical power, which is beneficial to increasing the imaging area of the optical lens and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens. The object side surface of the fifth lens is convex, and the image side surface is concave, which can optimize the chromatic aberration of the optical lens and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0068] In some embodiments, the sixth lens may have a positive optical power, its object side surface is convex, which is beneficial to improving the light converging ability of the optical lens, balancing various aberrations generated by the optical lens, and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0069] In some embodiments, the seventh lens may have a positive optical power, which is beneficial to suppressing the angle of incidence of the marginal field of view on the imaging surface, effectively transmitting more light beams to the imaging surface, and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0070] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the central thickness CT3 of the third lens along the optical axis satisfy: 2.5 < CT3 / f < 4.5. Meeting the above range, by setting a relatively thick third lens, the field curvature of the ultra-wide-angle lens can be improved, the difficulty of lens aberration optimization can be reduced, and thus the lens imaging quality can be improved.

[0071] In some embodiments, the overall optical length TTL of the optical lens and the effective focal length f satisfy: 11.0 < TTL / f < 13.5. Meeting the above range ensures that there is enough space to adjust the lens structure and optimize the imaging effect.

[0072] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens, the radian θ of the maximum half field angle, and the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field angle satisfy: 0.9 < (IH / 2) / (f×θ) < 1.0. Meeting the above range indicates that the F-Theta distortion of the optical lens is well controlled, improving the resolution of the optical lens.

[0073] In some embodiments, the maximum field angle FOV of the optical lens and the aperture value FNO satisfy: 100° < FOV / FNO < 140°. Meeting the above range is beneficial to expanding the field angle of the optical lens and increasing the aperture of the optical lens, facilitating the optical lens to obtain more scene information and meeting the requirements of large-range detection. The realization of the large-aperture characteristic is beneficial to improving the problem of rapid decline in relative brightness in the edge field of view, and thus is also beneficial to obtaining more scene information.

[0074] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field angle satisfy: 3.3 < IH / f < 3.7. Meeting the above range is beneficial for the optical lens to balance between the field angle size and the F-Theta distortion size, improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0075] In some embodiments, the object-side curvature radius R5 of the third lens and the image-side curvature radius R6 of the third lens satisfy: 0.1 < (R5 - R6) / (R5 + R6) < 0.8. Meeting the above range can reduce the difficulty of lens aberration optimization, thereby improving the lens imaging quality.

[0076] In some embodiments, the total optical length TTL of the optical lens and the sum ∑CT of the central thicknesses of the first lens to the seventh lens along the optical axis satisfy: 0.5 < ∑CT / TTL < 0.7. Meeting the above range is beneficial for the structural design and production process of the optical lens.

[0077] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f1 of the first lens satisfy: -4.5 < f1 / f < -3.0. Meeting the above range can make the first lens have an appropriate negative optical power, which is beneficial to reducing the inclination angle of the incident light rays, facilitating the collection of edge field light rays into the rear optical lenses as much as possible, and achieving large-angle light collection.

[0078] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f2 of the second lens satisfy: -4.5 < f2 / f < -2.5. Meeting the above range can make the second lens have an appropriate negative optical power, which can share the negative optical power at the front end of the lens, thereby being beneficial to reducing the excessive light deflection caused by the overly concentrated optical power of the first lens and reducing the difficulty of chromatic aberration correction of the optical lens.

[0079] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f3 of the third lens satisfy: -68.0 < f3 / f < -3.0. Meeting the above range can endow the third lens with an appropriate negative optical power, which is beneficial to reducing the light deflection angle, enabling the light to transition smoothly, 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 f4 of the fourth lens satisfy: 1.5 < f4 / f < 3.5. Meeting the above range can endow the fourth lens with an appropriate positive optical power, which is beneficial to enhancing the light converging ability of the optical lens. It helps to balance various aberrations generated by the optical lens and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0081] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f5 of the fifth lens satisfy: -5.5 < f5 / f < -3.5. Meeting the above range can endow the fifth lens with an appropriate negative optical power, which is beneficial to increasing the imaging area of the optical lens, optimizing the chromatic aberration of the optical lens, and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0082] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f6 of the sixth lens satisfy: 1.5 < f6 / f < 2.6. Meeting the above range can endow the sixth lens with an appropriate positive optical power, which is beneficial to enhancing the light converging ability of the optical lens, helping to balance various aberrations generated by the optical lens, and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0083] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f7 of the seventh lens satisfy: 3.0 < f7 / f < 7.0. Meeting the above range can endow the seventh lens with an appropriate positive optical power, which is beneficial to suppressing the angle of the marginal field incident on the imaging surface, effectively transmitting more light beams to the imaging surface, and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0084] In some embodiments, the overall optical length TTL of the optical lens and the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field angle satisfy: 3.0 < TTL / IH < 4.0. Meeting the above range can effectively balance the requirements of the image height and miniaturization of the optical lens.

[0085] In some embodiments, the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens and the entrance pupil diameter EPD satisfy: 5.0 < IH / EPD < 7.5. Meeting the above range can increase the width of the light beam entering the optical lens, improving the brightness at the image plane of the optical lens and avoiding vignetting.

[0086] In some embodiments, the back focal length (BFL) of the optical lens and the effective focal length (f) satisfy: 0.6 < BFL / f < 2.2. Meeting the above range is conducive to achieving a balance between obtaining good imaging quality and an easily assembled back focal length, ensuring the imaging quality of the optical lens while avoiding interference between the lens and other components, and reducing the assembly process difficulty of the camera module.

[0087] In some embodiments, the fifth lens and the sixth lens can be glued together 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 processing difficulty of the optical lens and improving the assembly yield of the optical lens.

[0088] In some embodiments, the seventh lens can adopt the aspherical lens surface type to improve the resolution quality.

[0089] To enable the system to have better optical performance, aspherical lenses are used in the lens, and the shapes of the aspherical surfaces of the optical lens satisfy the following equation:

[0090]

[0091] Where, z is the distance between the surface and the vertex of the surface in the optical axis direction, h is the distance from the optical axis to the surface, c is the curvature of the vertex of the surface, K is the conic coefficient, and A, B, C, D, E, F are the surface coefficients of the second order, fourth order, sixth order, eighth order, tenth order, and twelfth order respectively.

[0113]

[0114] In this embodiment, the field curvature curve, F-Theta distortion curve, relative illumination curve, MTF curve, axial aberration curve, and vertical chromatic aberration curve of the optical lens are shown as follows: Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 shown.

[0115] Figure 2 The field curvature curves for Example 1 are shown, representing 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 a range of -0.06mm to 0.09mm, demonstrating that the optical lens is capable of effectively correcting field curvature.

[0116] Figure 3 The F-Theta distortion curve for Example 1 is shown, representing the F-Theta distortion of light of different wavelengths at different image heights on the imaging surface. The horizontal axis represents F-Theta distortion (unit: %), and the vertical axis represents the half field of view (unit: °). As can be seen from the figure, the F-Theta distortion of the optical lens is controlled within a range of -10% to 0, and the image compression at the edge angle area is relatively smooth, effectively improving the clarity of the expanded image.

[0117] Figure 4 The relative illumination curve of Example 1 is shown, which represents the relative illumination values ​​at different field angles on the imaging plane. The horizontal axis represents the half field angle (unit: °), and the vertical axis represents the relative illumination (unit: %). As can be seen from the figure, the relative illumination value of the optical lens is still greater than 40% at the maximum half field angle, indicating that the optical lens has good relative illumination.

[0118] Figure 5 The MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) curve for Example 1 is shown, representing the degree of lens imaging modulation at different spatial frequencies across the field of view. The horizontal axis represents spatial frequency (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 0.3 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.

[0119] 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 a range of -20μm to 15μm, indicating that the optical lens can effectively correct axial aberration.

[0120] Figure 7The vertical chromatic aberration curve for Example 1 is shown. It plots the chromatic aberration of each wavelength relative to the central wavelength (0.55 μm) at different image heights on the imaging plane. 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 ±3 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.
