[0059] 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.

[0060] The optical lens provided in this embodiment of the invention consists of six lenses, which are arranged sequentially from the object side to the imaging plane along the optical axis as a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, and a sixth lens.

[0061] In some embodiments, the first lens may have a negative optical power, with its object side being convex and its image side being concave. The second lens may have a negative optical power, with its object side being convex and its image side being concave. The third lens may have a positive optical power, with both its object side and image side being convex.

The fifth lens may have a negative optical power, with both its object side and image side being concave. The sixth lens may have a positive optical power, with its object side being convex and its image side being concave.

[0062] In some embodiments, the optical lens may further include an aperture, which may be located between the second lens and the third lens. It can be understood that the aperture is used to limit the amount of incident light to change the brightness of the imaging. When the aperture is located between the second lens and the third lens, it is convenient for the correction of aperture aberration.

[0063] In some embodiments, the optical lens may further include a filter, which is disposed between the sixth lens and the imaging surface. The filter is used to filter out interfering light to prevent the interfering light from reaching the imaging surface of the optical lens and affecting normal imaging.

[0064] In some embodiments, the radius of curvature R9 of the object side of the fifth lens and the radius of curvature R10 of the image side of the fifth lens satisfy: -18 < R9 / R10 < -7. Meeting the above range is beneficial for the optical lens to have good imaging quality in high and low temperature environments.

[0065] In some embodiments, the maximum field of view FOV of the optical lens and the f-number FNO satisfy: 45° < FOV / FNO < 60°. Meeting the above range can achieve the balance of a large field of view and a large aperture.

[0066] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f2 of the second lens satisfy: -3.8 < f2 / f < -2.5. The effective focal length f of the optical lens and the radius of curvature R3 of the object side of the second lens satisfy: 5.8 < R3 / f < 17.6. Meeting the above range can share the negative optical power at the front end, avoid excessive light deflection caused by overly concentrated optical power, and reduce the difficulty of chromatic aberration correction of the optical lens.

[0067] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f4 of the fourth lens satisfy: 2.2 < f4 / f < 3.1. Meeting the above range is beneficial for correcting axial aberration and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0068] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f5 of the fifth lens satisfy: -1.5 < f5 / f < -0.7. Meeting the above range is beneficial to increasing the imaging area of the optical lens and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens; at the same time, it is beneficial to the gentle trend of light rays, reducing the light deflection angle and reducing the generation of various off-axis aberrations.

[0069] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the curvature radius R9 of the object side surface of the fifth lens satisfy: -14.5 < R9 / f < -6.2; the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the curvature radius R10 of the image side surface of the fifth lens satisfy: 0.5 < R10 / f < 1.1. Meeting the above range can reasonably control the surface shape of the fifth lens, correct various aberrations of the optical lens, and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0070] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the curvature radius R12 of the image side surface of the sixth lens satisfy: 3.5 < R12 / f < 5.5. Meeting the above range helps to suppress the angle of incidence of the marginal field of view on the imaging surface, effectively transmit more light beams to the imaging surface, and improve the imaging quality.

[0071] In some embodiments, the clear aperture semi-diameter d10 of the image side surface of the fifth lens and the sagittal height Sag10 of the clear aperture of the image side surface of the fifth lens satisfy: 0.25 < Sag10 / d10 < 0.45. Meeting the above range can improve the relative illumination of the marginal field of view.

[0072] In some embodiments, the distance CT23 between the second lens and the third lens on the optical axis, the distance CT34 between the third lens and the fourth lens on the optical axis, and the distance CT12 between the first lens and the second lens on the optical axis satisfy: 4.2 < (CT23 - CT34) / CT12 < 17.1. Meeting the above range facilitates the realization of high-pixel characteristics and improves the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0073] In some embodiments, the distance CT23 between the second lens and the third lens on the optical axis and the focal length f2 of the second lens satisfy: -1.3 < CT23 / f2 < -0.8. Meeting the above range can reasonably set the interval between the second lens and the third lens in the direction of the optical axis, improve the field curvature of the optical lens, reduce the difficulty of optimizing lens aberrations, and thus improve the lens imaging quality.

[0074] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the overall optical length TTL satisfy: 7.2 < TTL / f < 9.1. Meeting the above range controls the overall length within a reasonable range and leaves enough design space for each lens.

[0075] In some embodiments, the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens, the effective focal length f of the optical lens, and the maximum field angle FOV of the optical lens satisfy: 0.6 < (IH / 2) / (f × Tan(FOV / 2)) < 0.7. Meeting the above range, the distortion is controlled within a reasonable range, improving the imaging quality.

[0076] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the back focal length BFL of the optical lens satisfy: 0.9 < BFL / f < 1.3. Meeting the above range, it is possible to maintain a long back focus, which is beneficial for adjusting the power distribution of each lens, so that there is more optimization space for various aberrations 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: -6 < f1 / f < -2.1. Meeting the above range is beneficial for obtaining light rays incident at a large angle, enabling the optical lens to have the characteristic of a large field angle.

[0078] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f3 of the third lens satisfy: 1.8 < f3 / f < 2.4. Meeting the above range is beneficial for correcting off-axis aberrations and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0079] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f6 of the sixth lens satisfy: 3.2 < f6 / f < 4.8. Meeting the above range is beneficial for balancing various aberrations and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0080] In some embodiments, the combined focal length f12 of the first lens and the second lens and the combined focal length f3456 of the third lens, the fourth lens, the fifth lens, and the sixth lens satisfy: -1.7 < f12 / f3456 < -0.9. Meeting the above range, the focal length distribution ratio of the lens groups at the front end and the rear end of the optical lens is close, which can reduce the design difficulty of the optical lens, reduce the correction difficulty of the axial aberration, and help maintain the consistency of the entire system.

[0081] In some embodiments, the radius of curvature R9 of the object side of the fifth lens and the radius of curvature R10 of the image side of the fifth lens satisfy: 0.7 < (R9 + R10) / (R9 - R10) < 1.2. Meeting the above range is beneficial for balancing the axial aberration of the optical lens, and at the same time is beneficial for the smooth trend of light rays, and transferring as much edge field beam as possible to the rear end of the optical lens, improving the relative illumination of the optical lens.

[0082] In some embodiments, the radius of curvature R11 of the object side surface of the sixth lens and the radius of curvature R12 of the image side surface of the sixth lens satisfy: -2.6 < (R11 + R12) / (R11 - R12) < -1.3. Meeting the above range, while ensuring that the optical lens has a large field angle, the light deflection angle is reduced as much as possible, reducing the difficulty of aberration correction for the light rays from the edge field angle.

[0083] In some embodiments, the clear aperture semi-diameter d12 of the image side surface of the sixth lens and the sagittal height Sag12 of the clear aperture of the image side surface of the sixth lens satisfy: 2.5 < Sag12 / d12 < 3.5. Meeting the above range can improve the imaging quality of the edge field.

[0084] 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 sixth lens along the optical axis respectively satisfy: 0.4 < ∑CT / TTL < 0.5. Meeting the above range and being restricted within a reasonable range can maintain the good processability of the lens and its reasonable arrangement within the system.

[0085] In some embodiments, the clear aperture semi-diameter d1 of the object side surface of the first lens, the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens, and the maximum field angle FOV of the optical lens satisfy: 2 < d1 / (IH / 2) / tan(FOV / 2) < 3.1. Meeting the above range ensures the balance among the head size, field angle, and image plane of the optical lens.

[0086] In some embodiments, the optical lens satisfies the conditional formula: TTL < 36 mm, 3.2 mm < f < 4.5 mm, 90° < FOV < 110°, 5.5 mm < IH < 7 mm, 1.6 < Fno < 2.2, 12° < CRA < 23°, 3.2 mm < BFL < 5.5 mm, where TTL represents the total optical length of the optical lens, f represents the effective focal length of the optical lens, FOV represents the maximum field angle of the optical lens, IH represents the image height corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens, Fno represents the aperture value of the optical lens, CRA represents the chief ray angle of incidence of the optical lens, and BFL represents the back focal length of the optical lens. Meeting the above conditions indicates that the optical lens provided by the embodiments of the present invention has at least characteristics such as a large field angle and a large target surface.

[0087] In some embodiments, the lens material in the optical lens of the present invention can be glass or plastic. When the lens material is plastic, production costs can be effectively reduced. Conversely, when the lens material is glass, the low dispersion characteristic of glass itself can effectively correct geometric chromatic aberration of the optical system. More specifically, the first and third lenses in the optical lens provided by the present invention can be glass lenses, while the second, fourth, fifth, and sixth lenses can be plastic lenses, which can improve the imaging stability of the optical lens under different temperature environments while meeting high pixel requirements.

[0088] In some embodiments, the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth lenses can be spherical or aspherical lenses. Compared to spherical structures, aspherical structures can effectively reduce aberrations in the optical system, thereby reducing the number of lenses and their size, and better achieving lens miniaturization. More specifically, the first and third lenses of this invention can be spherical lenses, the second, fourth, and sixth lenses can be Q-type aspherical lenses, and the fifth lens can be an even-order aspherical lens.

[0089] In various embodiments of the present invention, when an aspherical lens is used, the shapes of each aspherical surface of the optical lens satisfy the following equations:

[0090] Q of each lens bfs Type A aspherical lens satisfies the following equation:

[0091]

[0092] In the above equation, z represents the sag of the aspherical surface, and r is the radial coordinate of the aspherical surface. C bfs For the best-fit conic section, k is the quadratic surface constant, a m r is the aspherical surface shape coefficient of order m. n The maximum value of the normalized radius coordinates, u = r / r n Q m Q represents the m-th order. bfs Polynomial. Using Q bfs The advantage of polynomial representation of aspherical surfaces is that their surface structure is more stable, less prone to abrupt changes, and less likely to exhibit abnormal light patterns.

[0093] The even-order aspherical surface profiles of each lens satisfy the following equation:

[0094]

[0095] Where z 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 surface, k is the quadratic surface coefficient, and A2i For the aspherical surface shape coefficient of the 2ith order.

[0096] The present invention will be further described below with reference to several embodiments. In each embodiment, the thickness, radius of curvature, and material selection of each lens in the optical lens are different; for specific differences, please refer to the parameter tables of each embodiment. The following embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the following embodiments. Any changes, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the innovative points of the present invention should be considered equivalent substitutions and are included within the protection scope of the present invention.
