[0002] In modern automotive technology, in-vehicle cameras play a crucial role. These cameras come in various types, such as interior, rear, front, side, and surround-view cameras, each with its unique application scenarios. For example, rear-view cameras are primarily used for reversing imaging, while surround-view cameras provide a 360-degree panoramic view, greatly enhancing the driver's perception.
[0003] In automotive cameras, the forward-facing camera is a core component of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems). It is typically mounted on the windshield and primarily responsible for functions such as forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and pedestrian detection. Currently, due to the complex algorithms and chip processing involved, forward-facing cameras are generally much more expensive than other types of cameras, reflecting their crucial role in automotive camera systems. With the rapid development of advanced driver assistance systems, the requirements for forward-facing lenses are also increasing. Therefore, there is a need to develop an optical lens with high imaging quality. Summary of the Invention

[0051] 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.
[0052] In some embodiments, the first lens may have negative optical power, with its object-side surface being concave and its image-side surface being convex. The second lens may have positive optical power, with its image-side surface being convex. The third lens may have positive optical power, with its object-side surface being concave and its image-side surface being convex. The fourth lens may have negative optical power, with both its object-side and image-side surfaces being concave. The fifth lens may have positive optical power, with both its object-side and image-side surfaces being convex. The sixth lens may have negative optical power, with its object-side surface being concave and its image-side surface being either convex or concave.

[0055] 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 can be used to limit the amount of incident light to change the brightness of the image. Additionally, when the aperture is located between the second lens and the third lens, the aperture can reasonably distribute the functions of the first lens to the sixth lens. For example, the first lens and the second lens can be used to receive light to a greater extent, and the third lens to the sixth lens can be used to correct aberrations, which is beneficial to balancing the structure of the entire optical system. Furthermore, when the aperture is located between the second lens and the third lens, it is convenient to correct the aperture aberration.
[0056] In some embodiments, the optical lens may further include a filter and a protective glass, which may be sequentially arranged along the optical axis 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. The protective glass plays a role in protecting the optical lens, preventing the photosensitive chip from being damaged, and can improve the anti-impact and scratch-resistant capabilities of the optical lens, while having almost no impact on the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0112] In this embodiment, the field curvature curve, F-θ distortion curve, axial aberration curve, transverse chromatic aberration curve, and MTF (modulation transfer function) curve of the optical lens 100 are respectively as follows: Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown.
[0113] Figure 2 The field curvature curve of Example 1 is shown, which represents 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 of view (unit: °). As can be seen from the figure, the field curvature of the meridional and sagittal image planes is controlled within -0.02 mm to 0.02 mm, indicating that the optical lens can effectively correct field curvature.
[0114] Figure 3 The F-θ distortion curve of Example 1 is shown, which represents the F-θ distortion of light of different wavelengths at different image heights on the imaging plane. The horizontal axis represents the F-θ distortion value (unit: %), and the vertical axis represents the half field of view (unit: °). As can be seen from the figure, the F-θ distortion of the optical lens is controlled within -12% to 0, and the image compression in the edge angle region is relatively smooth, effectively improving the sharpness of the unfolded image.
[0115] Figure 4The axial aberration curve of Example 1 is shown, which represents the aberration of each wavelength on the optical axis at the imaging plane. The horizontal axis represents the axial aberration value (unit: mm), and the vertical axis represents the normalized pupil radius. As can be seen from the figure, the axial aberration offset is controlled within -0.01 mm to 0.02 mm, indicating that the optical lens can correct axial aberration well.
[0116] Figure 5 The diagram shows the transverse chromatic aberration curves for Example 1, representing the chromatic aberration of each wavelength relative to the center wavelength (0.55 μm) at different image heights on the imaging plane. The horizontal axis represents the transverse chromatic aberration value of each wavelength relative to the center wavelength (unit: μm), and the vertical axis represents the normalized field of view. As can be seen from the diagram, the transverse chromatic aberration of the longest and shortest wavelengths is controlled within -2.5 μm to 3.5 μm, indicating that the optical lens can excellently correct chromatic aberration at the edge of the field of view and the secondary spectrum of the entire image plane.
[0117] Figure 6 The MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) curve of Example 1 is shown, which represents the lens imaging modulation at different spatial frequencies in each field of view. The horizontal axis represents the spatial frequency (unit: lp / mm), and the vertical axis represents the MTF value. As can be seen from the figure, the MTF value of this example is above 0.4 throughout the entire field of view. Within the range of 0–160 lp / mm, the MTF curve decreases smoothly and evenly from the center to the edge of the field of view, exhibiting good image quality and good detail resolution.
