Description
[0001] Divisional application
[0002] This application is a divisional application of the Chinese invention patent application with the invention name “Projection Lens” and application number 201711348942.9 filed on December 15, 2017. Technical Field
[0003] The present application relates to a projection lens, and more particularly, to a projection lens comprising four lenses. Background Art
[0004] In recent years, with the continuous advancement of science and technology, interactive devices have gradually emerged, and the application scope of projection lenses has become increasingly wider. Nowadays, chip technology and intelligent algorithms are developing rapidly. By using an optical projection lens to project an image onto a spatial object and receiving the image signal, a three-dimensional image with the object's position and depth information can be calculated. The specific method is as follows: using an optical projection lens to project light emitted by an infrared laser diode (LD) or a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) toward the target object; after the projection beam passes through an optical diffraction element (DOE), the projected image is redistributed on the target object; using a camera lens to receive the image projected onto the object, a three-dimensional image containing the depth information of the projected object's position can be calculated. The three-dimensional image with depth information can be further used in the development of various depth applications such as biometrics.
[0005] Traditional projection lenses typically increase the number of lenses to eliminate various aberrations and improve resolution. However, this increases the overall optical length of the projection lens, hindering its miniaturization. Furthermore, conventional wide-field-of-view projection lenses suffer from significant distortion and poor image quality, and cannot be used with diffraction optical elements (DOEs) to precisely redistribute the projection beam across the target object.

[0038] 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.

And, the term "exemplary" is intended to refer to an example or illustration.
[0043] 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.
[0044] 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.
[0045] The features, principles and other aspects of the present application are described in detail below.
[0046] The projection lens according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application may include, for example, four lenses having optical power, namely, a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, and a fourth lens, which are arranged in sequence from the image source side to the image forming side along the optical axis.
[0047] In an exemplary embodiment, the first lens may have positive optical power; the second lens may have negative optical power, and its image source side surface may be concave, and its imaging side surface may be concave; the third lens may have positive or negative optical power; and the fourth lens may have positive optical power, and its imaging side surface may be convex. The first lens with positive optical power facilitates achieving telecentricity on the image source side of the projection system, increasing the amount of light entering the projection system's off-axis field of view, and improving the resolution, brightness, and uniformity of the projected image; the second lens with negative optical power, with its image source side surface and imaging side surface being concave, facilitates moving the image source side principal surface away from the image source, thereby shortening the total optical length (TTL) of the projection system and achieving lens miniaturization; the third lens with optical power can effectively adjust the incident angle of off-axis field of view light and correct off-axis field of view aberrations; the fourth lens with positive optical power facilitates shortening the total optical length (TTL) of the projection system, and the convex imaging side surface of the fourth lens facilitates reducing spherical aberration of the projection system and improving the imaging quality of the projection system.
[0048] In example embodiments, the image source-side surface of the first lens may be a convex surface.
[0049] In an exemplary embodiment, the third lens may have positive refractive power, an image source side surface thereof may be concave, and an image forming side surface thereof may be convex.
[0050] In example embodiments, an image source-side surface of the fourth lens may be a concave surface.
[0051] In an exemplary embodiment, the projection lens of the present application may satisfy the conditional equation f / f2 ≤ -4.0, where f is the total effective focal length of the projection lens and f2 is the effective focal length of the second lens element. More specifically, f and f2 may further satisfy -10.0 ≤ f / f2 ≤ -4.0, for example, -9.80 ≤ f / f2 ≤ -5.41. Satisfying the conditional equation f / f2 ≤ -4.0 helps strike a good balance between improving the imaging quality of the projection system and achieving miniaturization of the projection system.
[0052] In an exemplary embodiment, the projection lens of the present application may satisfy the conditional expression 2.0 < f / f1 < 3.5, where f is the total effective focal length of the projection lens and f1 is the effective focal length of the first lens element. More specifically, f and f1 may further satisfy 2.30 < f / f1 < 3.40, for example, 2.41 ≤ f / f1 ≤ 3.33. Satisfying the conditional expression 2.0 < f / f1 < 3.5 facilitates achieving image source-side telecentricity in the projection system, thereby shortening the total optical length (TTL) of the projection system, and thereby facilitating a good balance between shortening the total optical length (TTL) of the projection system and improving the imaging quality of the projection system.
[0053] In an exemplary embodiment, the projection lens of the present application has a light transmittance greater than 85% in the wavelength range of about 800 nm to about 1000 nm. This configuration helps to increase the transmittance of near-infrared light through the projection lens, thereby obtaining a brighter near-infrared projected image.
[0054] In an exemplary embodiment, the projection lens of the present application may satisfy the conditional formula 1.0 < f3 / f < 5.5, where f3 is the effective focal length of the third lens, and f is the total effective focal length of the projection lens. More specifically, f3 and f may further satisfy 1.32 ≤ f3 / f ≤ 5.39. Satisfying the conditional formula 1.0 < f3 / f < 5.5 is beneficial for adjusting the optical power distribution and avoiding increased tolerance sensitivity of the projection system due to excessive concentration of optical power. At the same time, when one or all of the second and fourth lenses are made of glass, satisfying the conditional formula 1.0 < f3 / f < 5.5 is beneficial for maintaining the stability of the image plane under temperature changes, thereby improving the temperature characteristics of the projection system.
[0055] In an exemplary embodiment, the projection lens of the present application may satisfy the conditional equation: -1.5 ≤ R8 / R1 ≤ -1.0, where R8 is the radius of curvature of the image-facing surface of the fourth lens element, and R1 is the radius of curvature of the image-source-facing surface of the first lens element. More specifically, R8 and R1 may further satisfy -1.35 ≤ R8 / R1 ≤ -1.00. Satisfying the conditional equation: -1.5 ≤ R8 / R1 ≤ -1.0 helps eliminate distortion and aberrations in the projection system.
[0056] In an exemplary embodiment, the projection lens of the present application can satisfy the conditional equation 1.5 < f / f4 < 2.5, where f is the total effective focal length of the projection lens and f4 is the effective focal length of the fourth lens element. More specifically, f and f4 can further satisfy 1.63 ≤ f / f4 ≤ 2.39. Satisfying the conditional equation 1.5 < f / f4 < 2.5 helps reduce the tolerance sensitivity of the fourth lens element. Furthermore, when the fourth lens element is made of glass, it also helps reduce the temperature sensitivity of the projection system, ensuring high projection quality over a wide temperature range.
[0057] In an exemplary embodiment, the projection lens of the present application may satisfy the conditional equation: -2.4 < R4 / R3 < -0.8, where R4 is the radius of curvature of the imaging-side surface of the second lens element, and R3 is the radius of curvature of the image-source-side surface of the second lens element. More specifically, R4 and R3 may further satisfy -2.25 < R4 / R3 < -0.85, for example, -2.19 ≤ R4 / R3 ≤ -0.96. Satisfying the conditional equation: -2.4 < R4 / R3 < -0.8 helps reduce the incident and exit angles of each field of view at the second lens element, thereby reducing the tolerance sensitivity of the second lens element and thereby improving the production yield of the projection lens.
[0058] In an exemplary embodiment, the projection lens of the present application can satisfy the conditional equation 0.8 < T12 / T23 < 2.2, where T12 is the distance between the first and second lenses on the optical axis, and T23 is the distance between the second and third lenses on the optical axis. More specifically, T12 and T23 can further satisfy 0.88 ≤ T12 / T23 ≤ 2.11. Meeting the conditional equation 0.8 < T12 / T23 < 2.2 facilitates the proper allocation of lens spacing, adjusts the optical path distribution, and thus reduces the tolerance sensitivity of the projection system. It also facilitates lens assembly and improves the production yield of the projection system.
[0059] In an exemplary embodiment, the projection lens of the present application can satisfy the conditional equation 1.5 < CT4 / CT2 < 3.0, where CT4 is the center thickness of the fourth lens element along the optical axis, and CT2 is the center thickness of the second lens element along the optical axis. More specifically, CT4 and CT2 can further satisfy 1.59 ≤ CT4 / CT2 ≤ 2.82. Meeting the conditional equation 1.5 < CT4 / CT2 < 3.0 helps achieve a good balance between shortening the total optical length (TTL) of the projection system and improving the manufacturability of the second and fourth lenses.
[0060] In an exemplary embodiment, the projection lens of the present application may satisfy the conditional equation 1.0 < DT42 / DT41 < 1.4, where DT42 is the maximum effective semi-aperture of the imaging-side surface of the fourth lens element, and DT41 is the maximum effective semi-aperture of the image-source-side surface of the fourth lens element. More specifically, DT42 and DT41 may further satisfy 1.05 < DT42 / DT41 < 1.25, for example, 1.13 ≤ DT42 / DT41 ≤ 1.19. Satisfying the conditional equation 1.0 < DT42 / DT41 < 1.4 facilitates shortening the total optical length (TTL) of the projection system, enabling miniaturization; it also helps balance the tolerance sensitivity of the projection system.
[0061] In an exemplary embodiment, the projection lens of the present application may satisfy the conditional equation TTL / f < 1.0, where TTL is the on-axis distance from the image source plane to the image-side surface of the fourth lens element, and f is the total effective focal length of the projection lens. More specifically, TTL and f may further satisfy 0.60 < TTL / f < 0.90, for example, 0.67 ≤ TTL / f ≤ 0.82. Properly controlling the ratio of TTL and f helps maintain the miniaturization of the projection lens.
[0062] In an exemplary embodiment, the projection lens may further include at least one aperture to improve the imaging quality of the lens. For example, the aperture may be disposed between the fourth lens and the imaging side as needed.
[0063] Optionally, the projection lens may further include other well-known optical projection elements, such as a prism, a field lens, etc. Optionally, the projection lens may be used in conjunction with a diffraction element (DOE).
[0064] According to the above-mentioned embodiment of the present application, the projection lens can adopt, for example, four lenses. By reasonably allocating the optical focal length, surface shape, center thickness of each lens, and on-axis spacing between each lens, the projection lens has beneficial effects such as large aperture, miniaturization, and high imaging quality.
[0065] In the embodiments of the present application, at least one of the mirror surfaces of each lens is an aspheric surface. Aspheric lenses are characterized by a continuously varying curvature from the center to the periphery. Unlike spherical lenses, which have a constant curvature from the center to the periphery, aspheric lenses have a more optimized curvature radius characteristic, with the advantages of reducing distortion and astigmatism. The use of aspheric lenses can minimize aberrations that occur during imaging, thereby improving image quality.
[0066] However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the number of lenses comprising the projection lens can be varied to achieve the various results and advantages described herein without departing from the claimed technical solutions. For example, while the embodiments describe a projection lens using four lenses as an example, the projection lens is not limited to four lenses. If desired, the projection lens may include other numbers of lenses.
