Description
[0001] Divisional application statement
[0002] This application is a divisional application of Chinese invention patent application filed on September 15, 2022, entitled "Optical Imaging System" and with application number 202211123589.5. Technical Field
[0003] This application relates to the field of optical components, and more specifically, to an optical imaging system. Background Technology
[0004] In recent years, with the widespread use of mobile phones in daily life, people have not only placed higher demands on the image quality of mobile phone lenses, but also paid more attention to the appearance of the lenses. As a result, ultra-thin, large-aperture mobile phone lenses have gradually become an industry trend. However, ultra-thin, large-aperture lenses often have limitations in the size of the lens barrel, especially for multi-element imaging lenses, which present significant design challenges. For example, for 6P ultra-thin, large-aperture, large-aperture imaging lenses, the overall lens barrel is relatively thin, and the gap between the last two lens elements is large, resulting in significant discontinuity. This can easily affect the performance of the imaging system, and the light-gathering ability needs to be further enhanced. At the same time, when the discontinuity of the imaging lens is large, assembly instability can easily occur, thus affecting the overall quality of the lens.
[0005] Therefore, while meeting customers' requirements for the appearance and overall size of the lens, how to improve the assembly stability and stray light problem of lenses with large gaps, so as to make the lens have good image quality, is one of the key research topics for designers.

[0037] The optical imaging system provided in this application is a six-element lens with a large step difference. On the one hand, by rationally configuring the optical power and partial surface shape of each lens, ultra-thin lenses can be achieved under the premise of good manufacturing feasibility, providing greater flexibility for the shape design of electronic devices such as mobile phones. By controlling the Abbe number of the second and fourth lenses to be less than 25, the light direction of the optical imaging system can be effectively guaranteed, reducing the risk of stray light generation while balancing dispersion. Furthermore, by setting spacers between the lenses, stray light can be improved, and the optical imaging system can meet the requirements of assembly stability and reliability.
[0038] The optical imaging system provided by this application is a six-piece lens with a large step difference. By controlling the effective focal lengths of the fifth lens and the sixth lens, it is beneficial to ensure that more light enters the image plane, and it is also beneficial to control the total length of the lens, ensuring that the lens meets the requirements of being ultra-thin and miniaturized. Then, according to the intervals of the optical imaging system, the thicknesses of the third spacer element and the fifth spacer element are selected to reasonably optimize the system structure, ensuring the overall strength of the lens and making the lens meet the requirements of assembly and reliability.
[0039] The optical imaging system provided by this application is a six-piece lens with a large step difference. By controlling the curvature radius of the object side surface of the fifth lens, the profile of the object side surface of the fifth lens is improved. By controlling the interval EP34 along the optical axis between the image side surface of the third spacer element and the object side surface of the fourth spacer element, the edge thickness of the fourth lens is optimized, thereby effectively preventing internal reflection stray light reflected from the edge of the fifth lens to the fourth lens. Further, by adjusting the thickness of the fourth spacer element, while ensuring the wall thickness, it is beneficial to ensure the stability of the assembly interval between the fourth lens and the fifth lens, and it is also beneficial to adjust the field curvature and improve the yield rate.
[0040] The optical imaging system according to this application satisfies: 11 < R9 / (EP34 + CP4) < 33, where R9 is the curvature radius of the object side surface of the fifth lens, EP34 is the interval along the optical axis between the image side surface of the third spacer element and the object side surface of the fourth spacer element, and CP4 is the maximum thickness of the fourth spacer element along the optical axis. Satisfying 11 < R9 / (EP34 + CP4) < 33 is beneficial to meet the requirements of ensuring the assembly stability of the lens. The curvature radius R9 of the object side surface of the fifth lens determines the profile of the object side surface of the fifth lens. The interval EP34 along the optical axis between the image side surface of the third spacer element and the object side surface of the fourth spacer element determines the edge thickness of the fourth lens, which can effectively prevent internal reflection stray light reflected from the edge of the fifth lens to the fourth lens. The fourth spacer element uses a plastic spacer ring, which is beneficial to have high processing accuracy and stable assembly interval while ensuring the wall thickness. It can also adjust the field curvature by adjusting the thickness of the fourth spacer element to improve the yield rate. Brief Description of the Drawings

[0057] The features, principles and other aspects of this application are described in detail below.
[0058] An optical imaging system according to an exemplary embodiment of this application includes an imaging lens group and multiple spacer elements. The imaging lens group, along the optical axis from the object side to the image side, sequentially includes: a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, and a sixth lens. The first lens has positive optical power, the second lens has either positive or negative optical power, the third lens has either positive or negative optical power, the fourth lens has either positive or negative optical power, the fifth lens has positive optical power, and the sixth lens has negative optical power.

Controlling the Abbe numbers of the second and fourth lenses to be less than 25 effectively ensures the light path of the optical imaging system, reducing the risk of stray light generation while balancing dispersion.

By superimposing the focal lengths of different lens surfaces, a certain imaging effect is achieved. Meniscus lenses can stably increase the imaging size, effectively shorten the overall lens length while ensuring good manufacturability, achieving ultra-thin characteristics and meeting the imaging requirements of the lens, thus improving image quality.
[0061] In an exemplary embodiment, the plurality of spacer elements may include a first spacer element disposed between a first lens and a second lens and in contact with the image-side surface of the first lens, a second spacer element disposed between a second lens and a third lens and in contact with the image-side surface of the second lens, a third spacer element disposed between a third lens and a fourth lens and in contact with the image-side surface of the third lens, a fourth spacer element disposed between a fourth lens and a fifth lens and in contact with the image-side surface of the fourth lens, and a fifth spacer element disposed between a fifth lens and a sixth lens and in contact with the image-side surface of the fifth lens.
[0062] It should be understood that this application does not specifically limit the number of spacers; any number of spacers may be included between any two lenses, and the entire optical imaging system may also include any number of spacers. Spacers help the optical imaging system intercept excess reflective light paths, reducing stray light and ghosting. Adding auxiliary support between the spacers and the lens barrel helps improve problems such as poor assembly stability and low performance yield caused by large step differences between lenses.
[0063] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical imaging system according to this application satisfies: 0.7 < (f5 + f6) / (CP3 + CP5) < 11, where f5 is the effective focal length of the fifth lens, f6 is the effective focal length of the sixth lens, CP3 is the maximum thickness of the third spacer element along the optical axis, and CP5 is the maximum thickness of the fifth spacer element along the optical axis. Satisfying 0.7 < (f5 + f6) / (CP3 + CP5) < 11 facilitates control of the optical power of the fifth and sixth lenses, ensuring more light enters the image plane. Furthermore, by selecting the thicknesses of the third and fifth spacers based on the spacing of the optical imaging system, the system structure is rationally optimized, ensuring the overall strength of the lens and enabling the lens to meet assembly and reliability requirements.
[0064] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical imaging system according to the present application may satisfy: 0.5 < Dim / TD < 2.0, where Dim is the outer diameter of the image side of the spacer element on the image side of the lens with an Abbe number greater than 50 in the imaging lens group; TD is the distance on the optical axis from the object side of the first lens to the image side of the sixth lens; Exemplarily, when i = 1, D1m represents the outer diameter of the image side of the first spacer element; when i = 2, D2m represents the outer diameter of the image side of the second spacer element; when i = 3, D3m represents the outer diameter of the image side of the third spacer element; when i = 4, D4m represents the outer diameter of the image side of the fourth spacer element; when i = 5, D5m represents the outer diameter of the image side of the fifth spacer element. Since it is necessary to control the overall chromatic aberration of the lens in the early stage of the design of the optical imaging system, materials with low refractive index and high Abbe number are reasonably selected. The optical imaging system according to the present application satisfies 0.5 < Dim / TD < 2.0, which can ensure the overall height of the lens, save costs while ensuring performance, reduce the overall space, and well meet the characteristics of the ultra-thin large image plane lens.
[0065] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical imaging system according to the present application may satisfy: 1 < f / djm < 3, where f is the effective focal length of the optical imaging system, and djm is the inner diameter of the image side of the spacer element on the image side of the lens with a negative optical power in the imaging lens group; Exemplarily, when j = 1, d1m represents the inner diameter of the image side of the first spacer element; when j = 2, d2m represents the inner diameter of the image side of the second spacer element; when j = 3, d3m represents the inner diameter of the image side of the third spacer element; when j = 4, d4m represents the inner diameter of the image side of the fourth spacer element; and when j = 5, d5m represents the inner diameter of the image side of the fifth spacer element. Satisfying 1 < f / djm < 3 can effectively control the steepness of the light rays, ensure the stability of the optical parameters of the lens, and effectively improve the stray light of the lens and improve the imaging quality.
[0066] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical imaging system according to the present application may satisfy: 4 < f12 / (EP01 + CP1) < 8, where f12 is the combined focal length of the first lens and the second lens, EP01 is the distance along the optical axis between the front end face of the lens barrel near the object side and the object side face of the first spacer element, and CP1 is the maximum thickness of the first spacer element along the optical axis. Satisfying 4 < f12 / (EP01 + CP1) < 8, by controlling the distance EP01 along the optical axis between the front end face of the lens barrel near the object side and the object side face of the first spacer element, it is beneficial to ensure the wall thickness at the front end of the lens barrel and the edge thickness of the first lens. The thicker the wall thickness at the front end of the lens barrel, the more beneficial it is for the molding of the lens barrel. The filling of the aperture will be full, and the risk of flocculent stray light in the lens barrel will be lower. Secondly, the combined focal length of the first lens and the second lens and the edge thickness of the first lens directly affect its molding. Since the first lens is a key part of the entire lens, good processability of the first lens is more beneficial to the overall performance of the lens. By selecting different thicknesses of CP1 during the trial production process, the field curvature can be optimized and the performance yield can be improved.
[0067] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical imaging system according to the present application may satisfy: 9 < (R3 × R4) / (d1m × d2s) < 34, where R3 is the curvature radius of the object side face of the second lens, R4 is the curvature radius of the image side face of the second lens, d1m is the inner diameter of the image side face of the first spacer element, and d2s is the inner diameter of the object side face of the second spacer element. Satisfying 9 < (R3 × R4) / (d1m × d2s) < 34, by controlling the curvature radii of the object side face and the image side face of the second lens, the processability of the second lens can be ensured. Additionally, by controlling the inner diameter of the image side face of the first spacer element and the inner diameter of the object side face of the second spacer element, the risk of internal reflection stray light on the inner diameter surfaces of the first spacer element and the second spacer element can be reduced, the stray light state can be improved, and the imaging quality can be enhanced.
[0068] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical imaging system according to the present application may satisfy: R2 > R12, where R2 is the curvature radius of the image side face of the first lens, and R12 is the curvature radius of the image side face of the sixth lens. More specifically, R2 and R12 may further satisfy: R2 > R12 > 0. Satisfying R2 > R12, by controlling the relationship between the curvature radii of the image side faces of the first lens and the sixth lens, it is beneficial to optimize the shapes of the first lens and the sixth lens and improve the processing manufacturability of the first lens and the sixth lens.
[0069] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical imaging system according to this application satisfies: 4 < |f23| / d2m < 12, where f23 is the combined focal length of the second and third lenses, and d2m is the inner diameter of the image-side surface of the second spacer element. By satisfying 4 < |f23| / d2m < 12 and controlling the ratio of the combined focal length f23 of the second and third lenses to the inner diameter d2m of the image-side surface of the second spacer element, the relative illumination of the optical parameters can be effectively guaranteed to meet customer requirements, and the risk of stray light reflected from the inner diameter surface can be reduced.
[0070] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical imaging system according to this application satisfies: 3 < |f34| / (D3s+D3m) < 24, where f34 is the combined focal length of the third and fourth lenses, D3s is the outer diameter of the object-side surface of the third spacer element, and D3m is the outer diameter of the image-side surface of the third spacer element. Satisfying 3 < |f34| / (D3s+D3m) < 24 effectively ensures the manufacturability of the lens profiles of the third and fourth lenses by controlling the combined focal length f34 of the third and fourth lenses. By controlling the outer diameters of the object-side and image-side surfaces of the third spacer element, the outer diameters of the third and fourth lenses can be essentially locked, thus controlling the overall uniformity of the lenses and ensuring surface stability.
[0071] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical imaging system according to this application satisfies: 1 < |f4| / (d4s+D4s) < 18, where f4 is the effective focal length of the fourth lens, d4s is the inner diameter of the object-side surface of the fourth spacer element, and D4s is the outer diameter of the object-side surface of the fourth spacer element. Satisfying 1 < |f4| / (d4s+D4s) < 18, by controlling the ratio of the effective focal length f4 of the fourth lens to the inner and outer diameters of the object-side surface of the fourth spacer element, the assembly of the optical imaging lens and the need to improve stray light can be guaranteed. Due to the influence of the thickness of the raw material of the spacer element, the more complex the required spacer element structure, the more complex the stray light state. The inner and outer diameters d4s and D4s of the object-side surface of the fourth spacer element that satisfy the condition 1 < |f4| / (d4s+D4s) < 18 determine the contact area between the spacer element and the fourth lens; the larger the contact area, the more stable the assembled structure.
[0072] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical imaging system according to the present application can satisfy: 11 < R9 / (EP34 + CP4) < 33, where R9 is the radius of curvature of the object side surface of the fifth lens, EP34 is the distance between the image side surface of the third spacer element and the object side surface of the fourth spacer element along the optical axis direction, and CP4 is the maximum thickness of the fourth spacer element along the optical axis direction. Satisfying 11 < R9 / (EP34 + CP4) < 33 is beneficial to meet the requirement of ensuring the lens assembly stability. The radius of curvature R9 of the object side surface of the fifth lens determines the profile of the object side surface of the fifth lens. The distance EP34 between the image side surface of the third spacer element and the object side surface of the fourth spacer element along the optical axis determines the edge thickness of the fourth lens, which can effectively prevent the internal stray light reflected from the edge of the fifth lens to the fourth lens. The fourth spacer element uses a plastic spacer ring, which is beneficial to have high processing accuracy and stable assembly spacing while ensuring the wall thickness. Also, the field curvature can be adjusted by adjusting the thickness of the fourth spacer element, improving the yield rate.
[0073] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical imaging system according to the present application can satisfy: -13 < (R10 + R11) / EP45 < -5, where R10 is the radius of curvature of the image side surface of the fifth lens, R11 is the radius of curvature of the object side surface of the sixth lens, and EP45 is the distance between the image side surface of the fourth spacer element and the object side surface of the fifth spacer element along the optical axis direction. Satisfying -13 < (R10 + R11) / EP45 < -5 is beneficial to control the incident angle of off-axis field light on the imaging surface by controlling the radii of curvature of the image side surface of the fifth lens and the object side surface of the sixth lens, increasing the matching with the photosensitive element and the band-pass filter; in addition, by controlling the distance between the image side surface of the fourth spacer element and the object side surface of the fifth spacer element along the optical axis direction, the edge thickness of the fifth lens can be ensured. This condition is also beneficial to control the thickness ratio and surface shape of the last two lenses, ensuring good processing feasibility of the last two lenses.
[0074] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical imaging system according to the present application can satisfy: 23 < (d5s + d5m) / T56 < 32, where d5s is the inner diameter of the object side surface of the fifth spacer element, d5m is the inner diameter of the image side surface of the fifth spacer element, and T56 is the air gap between the fifth lens and the sixth lens on the optical axis. The fifth spacer element is between the fifth lens and the sixth lens, and it is exactly at the position with the largest step difference in the large image plane model. Therefore, satisfying 23 < (d5s + d5m) / T56 < 32, the inner diameter inclined surface angle of the fifth spacer element is controlled by the inner diameters of the image side surface and the object side surface of the fifth spacer element, effectively avoiding the stray light reflected from the filter at this position. In addition, in order to stabilize the air gap T56 between the fifth lens and the sixth lens on the optical axis, the fifth spacer element at this position is a plastic spacer ring, and the method of auxiliary support with the lens barrel is adopted, which is beneficial to reducing the stability of the gap.
[0075] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical imaging system according to this application satisfies: 2 < (d0s + D0s) / EPD < 5, where d0s is the inner diameter of the front end face of the lens barrel near the object side, D0s is the outer diameter of the front end face of the lens barrel near the object side, and EPD is the entrance pupil diameter of the optical imaging system. Satisfying 2 < (d0s + D0s) / EPD < 5, controlling the inner and outer diameters of the front end face of the lens barrel ensures the assembly support length; a longer length results in better assembly stability. Furthermore, the selection of the entrance pupil position effectively ensures that optical performance requirements are met and avoids the risk of stray light caused by the thickness of the lens barrel at the exit aperture.
[0076] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical imaging system according to this application satisfies: 6 < |f1 + f2| / (EP12 + EP23) < 18, where f1 is the effective focal length of the first lens, f2 is the effective focal length of the second lens, EP12 is the distance between the image-side surface of the first spacer element and the object-side surface of the second spacer element along the optical axis, and EP23 is the distance between the image-side surface of the second spacer element and the object-side surface of the third spacer element along the optical axis. Satisfying 6 < |f1 + f2| / (EP12 + EP23) < 18 ensures that the effective focal lengths f1 and f2 of the first and second lenses maintain their edge curvature, effectively reducing the risk of light leakage at the effective diameter edge. The distance between the image-side surface of the first spacer element and the object-side surface of the second spacer element along the optical axis (EP12) and the distance between the image-side surface of the second spacer element and the object-side surface of the third spacer element along the optical axis (EP23) can affect the edge thickness of the second and third lenses. Ensuring the uniformity of the thickness of the first three lenses and guaranteeing the strength and processing precision of the mold are prerequisites for improving lens performance yield.
[0077] In exemplary embodiments, the optical imaging system described above may further include a filter for correcting color deviation and / or a protective glass for protecting the photosensitive element located on the imaging surface. The optical imaging system according to the above embodiments of this application may employ multiple lenses, such as the six lenses mentioned above. By rationally allocating the optical power, surface shape, center thickness of each lens, and on-axis spacing between lenses, incident light can be effectively converged, the overall optical length of the imaging lens can be reduced, and the manufacturability of the imaging lens can be improved, making the optical imaging system more conducive to manufacturing.
[0078] In embodiments of this application, at least one of the mirror surfaces of each lens is an aspherical mirror surface; that is, at least one mirror surface from the object-side surface of the first lens to the image-side surface of the sixth lens is an aspherical mirror surface. An aspherical lens is characterized by a continuously changing curvature from the lens center to the lens periphery. Unlike a spherical lens, which has a constant curvature from the lens center to the lens periphery, an aspherical lens has better curvature radius characteristics, offering advantages in improving distortion aberrations and astigmatism. By using an aspherical lens, aberrations occurring during imaging can be eliminated as much as possible, thereby improving image quality. Optionally, the object-side surface and image-side surface of each of the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth lenses are both aspherical mirror surfaces.
