[0028] 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.
[0029] The features, principles and other aspects of this application are described in detail below.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the telephoto lens for a mobile phone with reduced height according to an exemplary embodiment of this application, along the optical axis from the object side to the image side, sequentially includes a first lens G1, a second lens G2, a third lens G3, a fourth lens G4, a prism G5, and an image plane IMG; wherein, the first lens G1 has positive optical power; the second lens G2 has positive optical power; the third lens G3 has positive optical power; the fourth lens G4 has negative optical power; the prism G5 has an incident surface, a first reflecting surface, a total reflection surface, a second reflecting surface, and an exit surface (…). Figure 1 Not shown, please refer to Figure 2 The light rays emitted from the fourth lens G4 enter the prism G5 from the incident surface, are reflected at least once by the first reflecting surface, the total reflection surface, and the second reflecting surface, and then exit the image plane IMG through the exit surface.
[0031] In this embodiment, the optical power of the telephoto lens for mobile phones with reduced height follows a positive-positive-positive-negative arrangement, which is beneficial for correcting spherical aberration and chromatic aberration. The third lens G3 can be a double concave lens, meaning that both its object and image surfaces are concave. The light emitted from the fourth lens G4 enters the prism G5 from the incident surface, is reflected at least once by the first reflecting surface, the total internal reflection surface, and the second reflecting surface, and then exits through the exit surface to the image plane IMG. This folds the back focal length inside the prism G5, shortening the lens's back focal length and reducing the camera height. By rationally allocating the optical power of each lens, a 1 / 2.76″ telephoto lens can be used to achieve focusing and imaging within a range from 25cm to infinity, providing excellent image quality at both 25cm and infinity. By combining multiple lenses with the prism G5 into an L-shaped periscope architecture to fully utilize space, a telephoto optical lens design with a large aperture, small size, and long focal length is achieved. The optical design has a small shoulder height, making it suitable for lightweight folding phones.
[0032] In an exemplary implementation, reference may be made to Figure 2 According to the telephoto lens of the mobile phone with reduced height according to this application, the light rays emitted from the fourth lens G4 are incident on the prism G5 along the first optical axis, reflected by the first reflecting surface to the total reflection surface along the second optical axis, reflected again by the total reflection surface to the second reflecting surface along the third optical axis, reflected again by the second reflecting surface to the exiting surface along the fourth optical axis, and then exiting onto the image plane IMG.
[0033] In one exemplary embodiment, according to the height-reduced telephoto lens of the present application, the angle θ1 between the first optical axis and the second optical axis satisfies 0° < θ1 < 90°; the angle θ2 between the second optical axis and the third optical axis satisfies 90° < θ2 < 180°; and the angle θ3 between the third optical axis and the fourth optical axis satisfies 0° < θ3 < 90°. Furthermore, in one exemplary embodiment, according to the height-reduced telephoto lens of the present application, the first optical axis and the fourth optical axis are parallel.
[0034] In one exemplary embodiment, the reduced-height telephoto lens for mobile phones according to this application has a common plane for the incident surface, the total internal reflection surface, and the exit surface. In another exemplary embodiment, the reduced-height telephoto lens for mobile phones according to this application has a trapezoidal prism G5, where the incident surface, the total internal reflection surface, and the exit surface can be jointly disposed on the longer base edge of the trapezoidal prism, and the first and second reflecting surfaces can be respectively disposed on the two sides of the trapezoidal prism.
[0035] In an exemplary embodiment, the telephoto lens for mobile phones with reduced height according to this application has one or more of the first reflective surface, the total reflection surface, and the second reflective surface coated with a reflective film, which can ensure that light can be completely reflected and reduce the risk of light being refracted out of the prism G5.
[0036] In an exemplary embodiment, the reduced-height telephoto lens for mobile phones according to this application satisfies CT1+CT2+CT3+CT4+T1+T2+T3<3.3mm; wherein the center thickness of the first lens G1 is CT1, the center thickness of the second lens G2 is CT2, the center thickness of the third lens G3 is CT3, the center thickness of the fourth lens G4 is CT4, the spatial gap between the first lens G1 and the second lens G2 is T1, the spatial gap between the second lens G2 and the third lens G3 is T2, and the spatial gap between the third lens G3 and the fourth lens G4 is T3. Satisfying CT1+CT2+CT3+CT4+T1+T2+T3<3.3mm, by controlling the center thicknesses CT1-CT4 of the first lens G1 to the fourth lens G4 and the air gaps T1-T3 between the lenses, facilitates the miniaturization of the mobile phone telephoto lens.
[0037] In an exemplary embodiment, the reduced-height telephoto lens for mobile phones according to this application satisfies 0.33mm < T4 < 0.55mm; wherein, the air gap between the fourth lens G4 and the prism G5 is T4. Satisfying 0.33mm < T4 < 0.55mm, by controlling the air gap T4 between the fourth lens G4 and the prism G5, facilitates the miniaturization of the mobile phone telephoto lens.
[0038] In an exemplary embodiment, the telephoto lens for a lower-height mobile phone according to this application satisfies 0.7 < f / BFL < 1; wherein, the effective focal length of the telephoto lens for a lower-height mobile phone is f, and the distance from the image plane of the fourth lens G4 to the image plane IMG is BFL. Satisfying 0.7 < f / BFL < 1 means that by controlling the effective focal length f of the telephoto lens for a lower-height mobile phone and the distance BFL from the image plane of the fourth lens G4 to the image plane IMG, if the value of f / BFL is less than the lower limit, astigmatism, distortion, etc., may occur; if the value of f / BFL is greater than the upper limit, it may lead to insufficient lens resolution, affecting image quality; and a suitable value of f / BFL can be used to achieve excellent image quality from object distances from 25cm to infinity.
[0039] In an exemplary embodiment, the telephoto lens for mobile phones with reduced height according to this application satisfies 1 < ((f / f4) + (f / f2)) < 4; wherein, the effective focal length of the telephoto lens for mobile phones with reduced height is f, the effective focal length of the second lens G2 is f2, and the effective focal length of the fourth lens G4 is f4. By satisfying 1 < ((f / f4) + (f / f2)) < 4, and by controlling the effective focal length f of the telephoto lens for mobile phones with reduced height, the effective focal length f2 of the second lens G2, and the effective focal length f4 of the fourth lens G4, suitable focal lengths and depths of field can be obtained, avoiding astigmatism, distortion, and chromatic aberration, and enabling excellent imaging quality from object distances from 25cm to infinity.
[0040] In an exemplary embodiment, the reduced-height telephoto lens for mobile phones according to this application satisfies 0 < ((f / f4) - (f / f2)) < 3; wherein, the effective focal length of the reduced-height telephoto lens is f, the effective focal length of the second lens G2 is f2, and the effective focal length of the fourth lens G4 is f4. By satisfying 0 < ((f / f4) - (f / f2)) < 3, and by controlling the effective focal length f of the reduced-height telephoto lens, the effective focal length f2 of the second lens G2, and the effective focal length f4 of the fourth lens G4, suitable focal lengths and depths of field can be obtained, avoiding astigmatism, distortion, and chromatic aberration, and enabling excellent imaging quality from object distances from 25cm to infinity.
[0041] In an exemplary implementation, reference may be made to Figure 1 According to this application, the reduced-height telephoto lens for mobile phones satisfies 11mm < CT5 < 14mm; wherein, the thickness CT5 of the prism G5 satisfies 11mm < CT5 < 14mm. By controlling the thickness CT5 of the prism G5, the optical path of light inside the prism G5 can be adjusted, allowing the light to be correctly focused on the image plane IMG, thereby improving image quality.
[0042] In an exemplary embodiment, the reduced-height telephoto lens for mobile phones according to this application can satisfy...
[0043] 1.55≤n1≤1.98, and 45≤V1≤90; where the refractive index of the first lens G1 is n1, and the dispersion coefficient of the first lens G1 is V1. By satisfying 1.55≤n1≤1.98 and 45≤V1≤90, the chromatic aberration of the first lens G1 can be controlled through its refractive index n1 and dispersion coefficient V1, reducing the burden of chromatic aberration correction on other lenses and leaving room for correction of other aberrations.
[0044] In an exemplary embodiment, the telephoto lens for mobile phones with reduced height according to this application satisfies 19 < (DT11 + DT21) / (DT12 / DT22) < 21; wherein, the maximum effective object-side diameter of the first lens G1 is DT11, the maximum effective image-side diameter of the first lens G1 is DT12, the maximum effective object-side diameter of the second lens G2 is DT21, and the maximum effective image-side diameter of the second lens G2 is DT22. By satisfying 19 < (DT11 + DT21) / (DT12 / DT22) < 21, and by controlling the maximum effective object-side diameter DT11, the maximum effective image-side diameter DT12 of the first lens G1, the maximum effective object-side diameter DT21 of the second lens G2, and the maximum effective image-side diameter DT22 of the second lens G2, a balance between increasing light intake and reducing aberrations can be achieved, thereby improving image quality.
[0045] In an exemplary implementation, reference may be made to Figure 2According to this application, the reduced-height telephoto lens for mobile phones satisfies 0.2 < CT6 / L1 < 0.3; wherein, the thickness of the prism G5 after folding the optical path is CT6, and the total length is L1. By satisfying 0.2 < CT6 / L1 < 0.3, and by controlling the thickness CT6 and the total length L1 of the prism G5 after folding the optical path, the reflection of light at a specific angle inside the prism G5 can be controlled, thereby controlling the thickness CT6 of the prism G5 after folding the optical path, which is beneficial for miniaturizing the telephoto lens for mobile phones.
[0046] In an exemplary embodiment, the reduced-height telephoto lens for mobile phones according to this application satisfies 31° < A < 35°; wherein, the angle after the prism G5 folds the optical path is A. Satisfying 31° < A < 35°, by controlling the angle A after the prism G5 folds the optical path, and thus controlling the thickness CT6 of the prism G5 after folding the optical path, it is beneficial to achieve miniaturization of the mobile phone telephoto lens.
[0047] In an exemplary embodiment, the reduced-height telephoto lens for mobile phones according to this application further includes an aperture stop STO, which is disposed between the first lens G1 and the second lens G2 to further improve overall performance. In other exemplary embodiments, the aperture stop STO may be disposed between other lenses.
[0048] In an exemplary embodiment, the telephoto lens for mobile phones with reduced height according to this application further includes an IR filter for correcting color deviation and / or a protective glass for protecting the photosensitive element located on the image plane IMG.
[0049] However, those skilled in the art will understand that the number of lenses constituting the optical imaging lens can be varied to obtain the various results and advantages described herein without departing from the technical solutions claimed in this application. For example, although four lenses are described as an example in the embodiments, the optical imaging lens is not limited to including four lenses.
