[0038] In this example, an optical lens is provided as a vehicle-mounted lens, which is arranged in sequence from the object side to the image side along the optical axis: a front lens group, an aperture, and a rear lens group.
[0039] The front lens group includes a first lens L1 and a second lens L2. The first lens L1 is a double concave negative lens; the second lens L2 is a double convex positive lens.
[0040] The rear lens group includes a third lens L3, a fourth lens L4 and a fifth lens L5. The third lens L3 is a positive meniscus lens with a convex object side surface; the fourth lens L4 is a positive meniscus lens with a convex object side surface; and the fifth lens L5 is a double convex positive lens.
[0041] The optical structure of the lens described in this example is shown in Figure 1 As shown, the optical path diagram is shown in Figure 2 shown.
[0042] See Table 1, which lists the relevant parameters of each lens in this example, including the radius of curvature, thickness, refractive index of the material, and Abbe number:
[0043] Table 1
[0044]
[0045] Infinity means infinity. Among them, the air distance from the first lens L1 to the second lens L2 is 0.0600mm; the air distance from the second lens L2 to the aperture C is 0.0400mm; the air distance from the aperture C to the third lens L3 is 0.5100mm; the air distance from the third lens L3 to the fourth lens L4 is 0.1212mm; the air distance from the fourth lens L4 to the fifth lens L5 is 0.0633mm; the air distance from the fifth lens L5 to the image plane IMG is 5.6038mm.
[0046] The technical indicators achieved by the optical system in this example are as follows:
