[0039] Unless otherwise specified, all terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) shall have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains. It should also be understood that terms (e.g., those defined in common dictionaries) shall be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and shall not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formalized sense, unless expressly so specified herein.

[0040] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0041] The features, principles and other aspects of this application are described in detail below.

[0042] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens includes, for example, nine lenses with optical power, namely a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, a seventh lens, an eighth lens, and a ninth lens. These nine lenses are arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the object side to the image side.

[0043] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens may further include a photosensitive element disposed on the image side of the ninth lens. Optionally, the photosensitive element disposed on the image side of the ninth lens may be a photosensitive coupling element (CCD) or a complementary metal oxide semiconductor element (CMOS).

[0044] In an exemplary embodiment, an aperture stop may be provided between the fourth and fifth lenses to limit the light beam and further improve the imaging quality of the optical lens. The aperture stop helps to concentrate the light entering the optical lens, reduce the maximum aperture of the optical lens, and decrease the system's assembly sensitivity. In this embodiment, the aperture stop may be located between the fourth and fifth lenses, near the object side of the fifth lens. However, it should be noted that the location of the aperture stop disclosed herein is merely an example and not a limitation; in alternative embodiments, the aperture stop may be located at other positions as needed.

[0045] In an exemplary embodiment, the sixth lens and the seventh lens form a cemented lens, with the image-side surface of the sixth lens cemented together with the object-side surface of the seventh lens. The cemented lens configuration of the sixth and seventh lenses is advantageous for correcting chromatic aberration and achieving better tolerance sensitivity.

[0046] In an exemplary embodiment, the first lens has negative optical power, with its object-side surface being convex and its image-side surface being concave. The negative optical power and convex object-side surface of the first lens allow it to collect as much light as possible from a large field of view into the rear optical system, effectively increasing light transmission and fixing the direction of large-angle light rays at the edges. Simultaneously, the concave image-side surface of the first lens prevents excessive divergence of object-side light, which is beneficial for controlling the aperture of the rear lenses.

[0047] In an exemplary embodiment, the second lens has negative optical power, with its object-side surface being convex and its image-side surface being concave. The negative optical power and convex object-side surface of the second lens effectively collect light rays entering through the first lens, preventing excessive divergence of the object-side light. Simultaneously, the concave image-side surface of the second lens allows for smoother light rays exiting from the second lens, which is beneficial for controlling the aperture of the rear lens.

[0048] In an exemplary embodiment, the first lens and the second lens are both designed as meniscus lenses with negative optical power. When combined, they can make the outgoing light rays smoother, which is beneficial for achieving small distortion.

[0049] In an exemplary embodiment, the third lens has negative optical power, with its object-side surface being either convex or concave, and its image-side surface being concave. This configuration of the third lens allows it to receive large-angle light rays transmitted from the first and second lenses and then diverge them to the rear lens.

[0050] In an exemplary embodiment, the fourth lens has positive optical power, with its object-side surface being convex and its image-side surface being concave. This configuration of the fourth lens can effectively converge light rays, and together with the third lens having negative optical power, it facilitates the smooth entry of light rays into the rear lenses, thereby improving resolution.

[0051] In an exemplary embodiment, the first four lenses (i.e., the first to the fourth lenses) are all convex on the object side and concave on the image side, which helps to balance the distortion they bring.

[0052] In an exemplary embodiment, the fifth lens has positive optical power, with both its object-side and image-side surfaces being convex. This configuration of the fifth lens facilitates light convergence; simultaneously, the biconvex shape of the fifth lens compresses the angle of the incident light rays, allowing for a smooth transition of light and enabling diverging light rays to smoothly enter the rear, further smoothing the light path and improving image quality.

[0053] In an exemplary embodiment, the sixth lens has positive optical power, with a concave object side and a convex image side. This configuration of the sixth lens facilitates light convergence; designing the sixth lens to have positive optical power, in conjunction with a seventh lens having negative optical power, allows light to enter the rear lenses more smoothly, further reducing field curvature and correcting off-axis point aberrations of the system.

[0054] In an exemplary embodiment, the seventh lens has negative optical power, with both its object-side and image-side surfaces being concave. This configuration of the seventh lens facilitates the collection of incident light rays, enabling smooth light transitions and improving resolution.

[0055] In an exemplary embodiment, the eighth lens has positive optical power, with both its object-side and image-side surfaces being convex. This configuration of the eighth lens can further reduce aberrations, improve image quality, and optimize distortion; at the same time, it allows light to converge effectively and smoothly in the rear, ensuring that the light reaches the imaging plane smoothly and meets imaging requirements.

[0056] In an exemplary embodiment, the ninth lens has positive optical power, with a concave object-side surface and a convex image-side surface. This configuration of the ninth lens facilitates the collection of light incident through the eighth lens, allowing for a smooth transition of light and improving resolution. Designing the image-side surface of the ninth lens as convex makes it less likely for light rays from the imaging plane to return to the imaging plane, thereby reducing the energy of ghost images on the imaging plane and minimizing interference with image quality.

[0057] In an exemplary embodiment, the ninth lens is a freeform surface lens, which can better correct edge distortion and make the distortion value of the entire optical lens as low as 0.5%.

[0058] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens according to this application satisfies: -3.0 ≤ Fb / F ≤ -1.5, where Fb is the combined focal length of the first lens, second lens, third lens, and fourth lens, and F is the effective focal length of the optical lens. Satisfying -3.0 ≤ Fb / F ≤ -1.5 helps to balance the various aberrations generated by the first four lenses, reduce distortion, and improve image quality.

[0059] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens according to this application can satisfy -18.7≤F1 / F≤-12.1, where F1 is the effective focal length of the first lens and F is the effective focal length of the optical lens. Satisfying -18.7≤F1 / F≤-12.1 can optimize the optical power of the first lens, which is beneficial for light rays with a large field of view to enter the optical lens.

[0060] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens according to this application satisfies: -2.7 ≤ F2 / F ≤ -2.4, where F2 is the effective focal length of the second lens and F is the effective focal length of the optical lens. Satisfying -2.7 ≤ F2 / F ≤ -2.4 optimizes the optical power of the second lens, assists the incident light rays to enter the optical lens smoothly, and helps to effectively correct astigmatism and distortion to improve image quality.

[0061] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens according to this application satisfies: -4.0 ≤ F3 / F ≤ -3.1, where F3 is the effective focal length of the third lens and F is the effective focal length of the optical lens. Satisfying -4.0 ≤ F3 / F ≤ -3.1 optimizes the optical power of the third lens, assists the incident light rays to enter the optical lens smoothly, and is beneficial to effectively correct astigmatism and distortion to improve image quality.

[0062] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens according to this application satisfies: 3.0 ≤ F4 / F ≤ 3.7, where F4 is the effective focal length of the fourth lens and F is the effective focal length of the optical lens. Satisfying 3.0 ≤ F4 / F ≤ 3.7 is beneficial for light convergence, allowing divergent light rays entering the system to smoothly enter the rear optical system, resulting in a smoother overall optical path, optimized aberrations, and improved resolution.

[0063] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens according to this application satisfies: 1.9 ≤ F5 / F ≤ 2.3, where F5 is the effective focal length of the fifth lens and F is the effective focal length of the optical lens. Satisfying 1.9 ≤ F5 / F ≤ 2.3 allows control over the light path between the fourth and sixth lenses, reducing aberrations caused by large-angle light rays entering through the fourth lens, while also making the inter-lens structure more compact, which is beneficial for miniaturization.

[0064] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens according to this application satisfies: 2.3 ≤ F6 / F ≤ 6.1, where F6 is the effective focal length of the sixth lens and F is the effective focal length of the optical lens. Satisfying 2.3 ≤ F6 / F ≤ 6.1 helps the light to transition smoothly, which is beneficial for correcting chromatic aberration and improving image quality.

[0065] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens according to this application satisfies: -2.0 ≤ F7 / F ≤ -1.1, where f6 is the focal length of the sixth lens and f is the total focal length of the optical lens. Satisfying -2.0 ≤ F7 / F ≤ -1.1 helps the light to transition smoothly, which is beneficial for correcting chromatic aberration and improving image quality.

[0066] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens according to this application satisfies the following condition: 2.4 ≤ F8 / F ≤ 3.5, where F8 is the effective focal length of the eighth lens and F is the effective focal length of the optical lens. Satisfying 2.4 ≤ F8 / F ≤ 3.5 facilitates the smooth entry of more light into the rear optical system, thereby improving illumination.

[0067] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens according to this application satisfies: 6.8 ≤ F9 / F ≤ 15.7, where F is the effective focal length of the optical lens and R1 is the radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the first lens. Satisfying 6.8 ≤ F9 / F ≤ 15.7 controls the focal length of the ninth lens within a certain range, which is beneficial for achieving rapid focusing of light onto the imaging plane, avoiding upward beams of light, reducing the rear aperture, and simultaneously improving light collection and ensuring sufficient light transmission.

[0068] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens according to this application satisfies: -3.2 ≤ Fa / F ≤ -2.2, where Fa is the combined focal length of the sixth and seventh lenses, and F is the effective focal length of the optical lens. Satisfying -3.2 ≤ Fa / F ≤ -2.2 allows for the reduction of aberrations caused by large-angle light rays entering through the fifth lens by controlling the light path between the fifth and eighth lenses; simultaneously, the arrangement of the sixth and seventh lenses as a cemented lens helps correct chromatic aberration.

[0069] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens according to this application satisfies the following condition: 2.4 ≤ Fc / F ≤ 2.8, where Fc is the combined focal length of the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth lenses, and F is the effective focal length of the optical lens. Satisfying 2.4 ≤ Fc / F ≤ 2.8 ensures that light passing through the rear lens group transitions smoothly to the imaging plane, reducing sensitivity.

[0070] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens according to this application satisfies: 1.6 ≤ BFL / F ≤ 1.8, where BFL is the distance from the center of the image-side surface of the ninth lens to the center of the imaging surface of the optical lens, and F is the effective focal length of the optical lens. Satisfying 1.6 ≤ BFL / F ≤ 1.8 enables the optical lens to have a long back focal length while achieving miniaturization, and also helps to reduce the energy of ghost images generated by reflections from the center of the optical lens and the filter.

[0071] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens according to this application satisfies: -0.1≤D1 / F1≤0, where D1 is the center thickness of the first lens on the optical axis, and F1 is the effective focal length of the first lens. Satisfying -0.1≤D1 / F1≤0 gives the optical lens the characteristics of a large field of view, low sensitivity, and miniaturization. It also enables better aberration correction and improved image quality.

[0072] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens according to this application satisfies: -0.8≤F3 / R31≤0.1, where F3 is the effective focal length of the third lens and R31 is the radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the third lens. Satisfying -0.8≤F3 / R31≤0.1 ensures that the optical lens has the characteristic of small distortion and can effectively reduce the imaging distortion caused by distortion.

[0073] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens according to this application satisfies: 0 ≤ F / TTL ≤ 0.1, where TTL is the distance on the optical axis from the center of the object-side surface of the first lens to the imaging surface of the optical lens, and F is the effective focal length of the optical lens. Satisfying 0 ≤ F / TTL ≤ 0.1 can effectively limit the length of the lens, which is beneficial for miniaturization.

[0074] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens according to this application satisfies: 0.2≤D59 / TTL≤0.4, where D59 is the distance from the center of the object-side surface of the fifth lens to the center of the image-side surface of the ninth lens, and TTL is the distance on the optical axis from the center of the object-side surface of the first lens to the imaging plane of the optical lens. Satisfying 0.2≤D59 / TTL≤0.4 allows for reasonable control of lens thickness and spacing, resulting in a compact lens structure and facilitating miniaturization.

[0075] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens of this application has the characteristic of a large field of view, with a maximum field of view of up to 130°, which is beneficial for the optical lens to achieve wide-angle characteristics, thereby enabling the acquisition of more scene information.

[0076] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens of this application satisfies the wide-angle characteristic while achieving a minimum distortion value of 0.5%, ensuring the authenticity of the image.

[0077] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens of this application may, as needed, include a filter and / or protective glass disposed between the ninth lens and the imaging surface to filter light of different wavelengths and prevent damage to the image-side elements (e.g., chips) of the optical lens.

[0078] In an exemplary embodiment, the first to ninth lenses can be spherical lenses or aspherical lenses. This application does not specifically limit the number of spherical and aspherical lenses; when image quality is a primary concern, the number of aspherical lenses can be increased, and even all lenses can be aspherical. Aspherical lenses are characterized by a continuously changing curvature from the lens center to the periphery. Unlike spherical lenses, which have a constant curvature from the lens center to the periphery, aspherical lenses have better radius of curvature characteristics, offering advantages in improving distortion aberrations and astigmatism. Using aspherical lenses can eliminate aberrations that occur during imaging as much as possible, thereby improving the image quality of the lens. Optionally, at least one of the object-side and image-side surfaces of each of the first to ninth lenses is an aspherical mirror surface.

[0079] In an exemplary embodiment, the first lens, the fifth lens, the sixth lens, and the seventh lens are spherical lenses; the object-side surface and the image-side surface of each of the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, the eighth lens, and the ninth lens are aspherical lenses. Exemplarily, the third lens or the ninth lens in the optical lens of this application is a freeform surface lens.

[0080] The optical lens of this application can employ freeform surface lenses. In wide-angle lenses, due to the limitations of rotationally symmetric lenses in correcting aberrations, distortion increases with the increase of the field of view. However, freeform surface lenses, by increasing the degree of freedom of asymmetry, can better correct aberrations such as distortion, achieving wide-angle and low-distortion performance. This application, through the reasonable design of the freeform surface, combined with its surface shape and materials, ensures that the lens can better correct the system's edge distortion values ​​and balance various aberrations without increasing the number of lens elements or the overall length, while simultaneously meeting the high performance requirements of wide-angle and low-distortion.

[0081] However, those skilled in the art will understand that the number of lenses constituting the lens can be varied to obtain the various results and advantages described in this specification without departing from the technical solutions claimed in this application. For example, although nine lenses are described as an example in the embodiments, the optical lens is not limited to including nine lenses. If desired, the optical lens may also include other numbers of lenses. Specific embodiments of the optical lens applicable to the above embodiments are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0094] The optical lens may also include an aperture stop STO, which may be positioned between the fourth lens L4 and the fifth lens L5 to improve image quality.

[0095] Optionally, the optical lens may also include a filter CG having an object-side surface S19 and an image-side surface S20 and / or a protective glass (not shown) having both an object-side surface and an image-side surface. The filter CG and / or the protective glass can be used to correct color aberrations, and can also be used to protect the image sensor chip IMA located at the imaging surface. Light from the object passes sequentially through each surface S1 to S20 and is finally imaged onto the imaging surface.

[0099] In Example 1, the first, fifth, sixth, and seventh lenses are spherical mirrors. The object-side and image-side surfaces of any one of the second, third, fourth, eighth, and ninth lenses are aspherical. Specifically, the second, third, fourth, and eighth lenses are conventional aspherical lenses, and the surface shape x of each conventional aspherical lens can be defined using, but is not limited to, the following aspherical formula:

[0100]

[0101] Where x is the distance vector from the vertex of the aspherical surface at a height of h along the optical axis; c is the paraxial curvature of the aspherical surface, c = 1 / R (that is, the paraxial curvature c is the reciprocal of the radius of curvature R in Table 1 above); k is the conic coefficient; Ai is the i-th order correction coefficient of the aspherical surface.

[0102] The object-side and image-side surfaces of the ninth lens are freeform surfaces, more specifically, extended polynomial surfaces. The extended polynomial surface type supports a base quadratic aspheric surface plus a polynomial aspheric surface. The surface type sag is defined as:

[0103]

[0104] Where N is the total number of polynomial coefficients in the series, and Ai is the coefficient of the i-th extended polynomial. This polynomial is simply a power series in the x and y directions. The first term is x, then y, followed by x*x, x*y, y*y, and so on. There are 2 terms of degree 1, 3 terms of degree 2, 4 terms of degree 3, and so on, with the highest degree being 20, making the maximum total number of aspherical coefficients of the polynomial 230. The data values ​​at positions such as x and y are divided by a normalized radius to obtain a dimensionless polynomial coefficient.

[0105] Table 1-2 below shows the higher-order term coefficients A4, A6, A8, and A6 that can be used for the conventional aspherical mirrors S3-S8 and S15-S16 in Example 1. 10 A 12 A 14 and A 16 .
