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. <00OO132>In some embodiments, the fifth lens and the sixth lens may be glued together to form a cemented lens, which can effectively correct the chromatic aberration of the optical lens, reduce the eccentricity sensitivity of the optical lens, balance the aberration of the optical lens, and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens; it can also reduce the assembly sensitivity of the optical lens, thereby reducing the processing difficulty of the optical lens and improving the assembly yield of the optical lens.

Meeting the above range defines that the seventh lens has a suitable surface shape, enabling the light rays to smoothly transition to the rear, reducing the height of the light rays incident on the rear, slowing down the upward trend of the light rays, avoiding the light energy loss caused by the excessive main ray angle of the large field of view light rays when reaching the imaging surface, being conducive to improving the illuminance of the edge field of view, and being beneficial to achieving a short optical total length. More specifically, -0.34 < (R13 - R14) / (R l3 + R14) < -0.2.

Meeting the above ranges controls the second lens to have an appropriate negative optical power and surface shape, which can share the negative optical power at the front end of the optical lens, thereby facilitating avoiding excessive light deflection caused by overly concentrated optical power of the first lens and reducing the difficulty of chromatic aberration correction of the optical lens. More specifically, -5.04 < f2 / f < -4.28; 0.64 < R3 / f < 0.69.

Meeting the above ranges controls the third lens to have an appropriate negative optical power and surface shape, which has the effect of diverging light. At the same field angle, it further diverges the light rays emerging from the first lens and the second lens, can disperse the central light rays and edge light rays of each field, and enables the rear optical system to have a larger light receiving surface to receive the light rays emerging from the image side surface of the third lens, achieving a larger light input, which is beneficial to increasing the relative illumination. More specifically, -2.5 < f3 / f < -2.38; -1.74 < R5 / f < -1.6; 6.28 < R6 / f < 6.74.

Meeting the above ranges can effectively converge the light rays, reduce the difficulty of correcting the distortion of the edge field, ensure that the lens has a small distortion while achieving a large field angle, and improve the overall imaging quality. More specifically, 1.99 < f4 / f < 2.05; 14.31 < R8 / f < 48.28.

[0066] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f6 of the sixth lens satisfy: -0.9 < f6 / f < -0.7; the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the image-side curvature radius R12 of the sixth lens satisfy: -3.5 < R12 / f < -2.3. Meeting the above ranges can effectively balance various aberrations generated by the front lens group, and at the same time is conducive to increasing the divergence degree of light, increasing the area of light entering the imaging surface, achieving large-format imaging of the lens, and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens. More specifically, -0.79 < f6 / f < -0.76; -3.16 < R12 / f < -2.53.

[0067] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f7 of the seventh lens satisfy: 2.7 < f7 / f < 3.55; the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the image-side curvature radius R14 of the seventh lens satisfy: 1.4 < R14 / f < 2.6. Meeting the above ranges can make the seventh lens have an appropriate positive optical power, which is conducive to balancing the astigmatism of the optical lens and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens. More specifically, 2.99 < f7 / f < 3.23; 1.54 < R14 / f < 2.35.

[0068] In some embodiments, the object-side curvature radius R11 of the sixth lens and the image-side curvature radius R12 of the sixth lens satisfy: -1 < (R11 - R12) / (R11 + R12) < -0.5. Meeting the above ranges, controlling the surface shape of the sixth lens is conducive to increasing the imaging area and the field angle of the optical lens, conducive to balancing the aberrations of the optical lens, and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens. More specifically, -0.78 < (R11 - R12) / (R11 + R12) < -0.72.

More specifically, -0.62 < (R5 + R6) / (R5 - R6) < -0.56.

[0070] In some embodiments, the maximum field angle FOV of the optical lens and the f-number Fno of the optical lens satisfy: 70° < FOV / Fno < 85°. Meeting the above ranges defines that the optical lens has an appropriate field angle and f-number, can collect light at a large angle and obtain good imaging quality. More specifically, 75.73° < FOV / Fno < 78.31°.

More specifically, 0.77 < f5 / f < 0.84; 0.99 < R9 / f < 1.04.

More specifically, -0.19 < Sag12 / d12 < -0.15; 0.1 < Sag14 / d14 < 0.19.

[0077] In some embodiments, the optical lens satisfies the conditional expressions: 2 mm < f < 2.5 mm, 1 mm < EPD < 1.35 mm, 12.6 mm < TTL < 16.5 mm, 1.65 < Fno < 2.25, 17.4° < CRA < 22°, 1.1 mm < BFL < 1.9 mm, 130° < FOV < 170°, 5.1 mm < IH < 6.7 mm; where f represents the effective focal length of the optical lens, EPD represents the entrance pupil diameter of the optical lens, TTL represents the overall optical length of the optical lens, Fno represents the f-number of the optical lens, CRA represents the principal ray angle of incidence at the maximum image height of the optical lens, BFL represents the back focal length of the optical lens, FOV represents the maximum field angle of the optical lens, and IH represents the true image height corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens.

[0079] In some embodiments, the first lens, second lens, third lens, fourth lens, fifth lens, sixth lens, and seventh lens may be spherical lenses or aspherical lenses.

More specifically, the first and fourth lenses of the present invention are spherical lenses, and the second, third, fifth, sixth, and seventh lenses may all be aspherical lenses. This can effectively reduce the aberrations of the optical lens, thereby reducing the number and size of lenses, and better achieving lens miniaturization.

[0080] In various embodiments of the present invention, when the lens is an aspheric lens, the shapes of the aspheric surfaces of the optical lens satisfy the following equations:

[0083] The present invention is further illustrated below with reference to several embodiments. In each embodiment, the thickness, radius of curvature, and material selection of each lens in the optical lens vary; for details, please refer to the parameter tables of each embodiment. The following embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Any other changes, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications that do not deviate from the novelties of the present invention shall be considered equivalent replacements and are included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
