Through the description of the specific embodiments, a more in-depth and specific understanding can be gained of the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve its intended purpose.

The surface of each lens closest to the subject is called the object-side surface of the lens, and the surface of each lens closest to the imaging plane is called the image-side surface of the lens.

[0026] 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.

[0027] The features, principles and other aspects of this application are described in detail below.

[0028] According to an exemplary embodiment of this application, the ultra-large aperture ultra-wide-angle infrared lens includes a first lens P1, a second lens P2, a third lens P3, and a fourth lens P4 from the object side to the image side; each of the first lens P1 to the fourth lens P4 includes an object side facing the object side and allowing imaging light to pass through, and an image side facing the image side and allowing imaging light to pass through; the aperture F#, field of view FOV, and focal length f′ of the ultra-large aperture ultra-wide-angle infrared lens satisfy: F#*TAN(FOV / 2)*SQRT(f′ / 100)≥0.24. The ultra-large aperture ultra-wide-angle infrared lens of this embodiment includes four lenses. By rationally allocating the optical power and spacing of each lens, and by controlling the aperture F#, field of view (FOV), and focal length f′ of the ultra-large aperture ultra-wide-angle infrared lens, it is possible to balance the aperture, field of view, and focal length, thereby preventing any parameter from deviating from the normal range. Furthermore, by setting the aperture F# to be smaller than that of existing lenses, and the field of view (FOV) to be larger than that of existing lenses (e.g., F# < 1.4 and FOV = 124°), an ultra-large aperture ultra-wide-angle lens is achieved, making it suitable for complex scenes and meeting the demanding requirements of complex usage environments. Specifically, setting the aperture F# to be smaller, such as F# < 1.4, achieves an ultra-large aperture, meeting the need for rapid photography in low-light conditions; setting the field of view to be larger, such as 124°, achieves an ultra-wide-angle lens, giving the device a wider field of view.

[0029] In an exemplary embodiment, the ultra-wide-angle infrared lens according to this application has a first lens P1 with negative optical power, and a second lens P2, a third lens P3, and a fourth lens P4 with positive optical power. By setting the negative and positive focal lengths of the first lens P1 to the fourth lens P4, image quality can be improved, astigmatism and distortion can be corrected, and a greater optical path length and system correction capability can be provided, contributing to high-quality image capture and imaging effects. Simultaneously, the number of lenses used is small, making it easy to manufacture and resulting in lower costs; the total optical length can be less than 3.8mm, meeting the miniaturization requirements of camera modules.

[0030] In an exemplary embodiment, the ultra-wide-angle infrared lens 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 imaging surface 61.

[0031] In an exemplary embodiment, the ultra-large aperture ultra-wide-angle infrared lens according to this application satisfies 0.4 ≤ S2 / H1 ≤ 0.55; wherein, the image-side sag of the first lens P1 is S2, and the center thickness of the first lens P1 is H1. Satisfying 0.4 ≤ S2 / H1 ≤ 0.55, by controlling the image-side sag S2 and the center thickness H1 of the first lens P1 within a suitable range, manufacturability can be improved.

[0032] In an exemplary embodiment, the ultra-wide-angle infrared lens according to this application satisfies ABS(f2-f3)≤0.5; wherein the focal length of the second lens P2 is f2 and the focal length of the third lens P3 is f3. Satisfying ABS(f2-f3)≤0.5, by controlling the difference in focal length between the second lens P2 and the third lens P3, avoids excessive light deflection angles that could lead to severe primary aberrations, thus improving resolution.

[0033] In an exemplary embodiment, the ultra-large aperture ultra-wide-angle infrared lens according to this application satisfies 1.6 ≤ f1 / f′ ≤ 2; where f′ is the focal length of the ultra-large aperture ultra-wide-angle infrared lens and f1 is the focal length of the first lens P1. Satisfying 1.6 ≤ f1 / f′ ≤ 2, by controlling the ratio of the focal length f1 of the first lens P1 to the focal length f′ of the ultra-large aperture ultra-wide-angle infrared lens within a reasonable range, is beneficial for converging large-angle light and achieving an ultra-wide-angle perspective.

[0034] In an exemplary embodiment, the ultra-wide-angle infrared lens according to this application satisfies MAX(ABS(S3), ABS(S4), ... ABS(S8)) ≤ 0.35; where MAX(ABS(S3), ABS(S4), ... ABS(S8)) represents the maximum absolute value of the object-side sagitta and image-side sagitta of the second lens P2 to the fourth lens P4, wherein the object-side sagitta of the second lens P2 is S3, the image-side sagitta of the second lens P2 is S4, ..., the object-side sagitta of the fourth lens P4 is S7, and the image-side sagitta of the fourth lens P4 is S8. Satisfying MAX(ABS(S3), ABS(S4), ... ABS(S8)) ≤ 0.35, by controlling the sagitta of the second lens P2 to the fourth lens P4 to be less than a certain value, enhances the manufacturability of the lens.

[0035] In an exemplary embodiment, the ultra-wide-angle infrared lens with a large aperture according to this application can satisfy 0.3≤S1≤0.55; wherein, the object-side sag of the first lens P1 is S1. Satisfying 0.3≤S1≤0.55, by controlling the object-side sag S1 of the first lens P1 to be less than a certain value, can help converge large-angle light and achieve an ultra-wide-angle view.

[0036] In an exemplary embodiment, the ultra-large aperture ultra-wide-angle infrared lens according to this application satisfies 1.5≤f2≤3; wherein, the focal length of the second lens P2 is f2. Satisfying 1.5≤f2≤3, by controlling the focal length f2 of the second lens P2 to be less than a certain value, can help converge the light from the rear group and reduce the lens height.

[0037] In an exemplary embodiment, the ultra-large aperture ultra-wide-angle infrared lens according to this application can satisfy ABS(S3)≤0.05; wherein, the object-side sagitta of the second lens P2 is S3. Satisfying ABS(S3)≤0.05, by controlling the object-side sagitta S3 of the second lens P2 to be less than a certain value, can avoid the incident angle of the front group light entering the rear group being too large, resulting in serious primary aberrations, which is beneficial to improving resolution.

[0038] In an exemplary embodiment, the ultra-large aperture ultra-wide-angle infrared lens according to this application further includes an aperture stop STO, which is disposed between the first lens P1 and the second lens P2 to further improve overall performance. In other exemplary embodiments, the aperture stop STO may be disposed between other lenses.

[0039] Based on the same inventive concept, the electronic device according to the exemplary embodiments of this application includes the aforementioned ultra-large aperture ultra-wide-angle infrared lens. The electronic device includes, but is not limited to, smartphones, tablets, laptops, gimbal cameras, surveillance cameras, and other imaging devices. Implementation of this electronic device can be found in the embodiments of the ultra-large aperture ultra-wide-angle infrared lens; repeated details will not be elaborated further.

[0040] 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. If desired, the optical imaging lens may also include other numbers of lenses.
