And, the term "exemplary" is intended to refer to an example or illustration.

[0067] Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. It should also be understood that terms (such as those defined in a common dictionary) should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art, and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.

[0068] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0069] The optical lens provided by the embodiment of the present invention is composed of seven lenses, which are, in order from the object side to the imaging surface along the optical axis, the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, the fifth lens, the sixth lens, and the seventh lens.

[0070] In some embodiments, the first lens may have a negative optical power, with its object side being concave and its image side being convex. The second lens may have a positive optical power, with both its object side and image side being convex. The third lens may have a positive optical power, with both its object side and image side being convex. The fourth lens may have a negative optical power, with both its object side and image side being concave. The fifth lens may have a positive optical power, with its object side being convex and its image side may be concave or convex. The sixth lens may have a positive optical power, with its object side being convex and its image side may be concave or convex. The seventh lens may have a negative optical power, with its object side being convex and its image side being concave.

[0071] In some embodiments, the optical lens may further include a diaphragm, and the diaphragm may be located between the fourth lens and the fifth lens. It can be understood that the diaphragm is used to limit the amount of incident light to change the brightness of the imaging. Additionally, when the diaphragm is located between the fourth lens and the fifth lens, the diaphragm can reasonably distribute the functions of the first lens to the seventh lens. For example, the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, and the fourth lens can be used to receive light to a greater extent, and the fifth lens to the seventh lens can be used to correct aberrations, which is beneficial to balancing the structure of the entire optical system. Furthermore, when the diaphragm is located between the fourth lens and the fifth lens, it is convenient to correct the diaphragm aberration.

[0072] In some embodiments, the optical lens may further include a filter and a protective glass, and the filter and the protective glass may be sequentially arranged along the optical axis between the seventh 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.

[0073] In some embodiments, the third lens and the fourth 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.

[0074] In some embodiments, the radius of curvature R3 of the object side of the second lens and the radius of curvature R4 of the image side of the second lens satisfy: -0.7 < (R3 + R4) / (R3 - R4) < -0.4. Meeting the above range can converge light, enable the light to enter the system at a relatively gentle angle, reduce the difficulty of correcting aberrations and distortions, and improve the overall imaging quality.

[0075] In some embodiments, the total optical length TTL of the optical lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 2.2 < TTL / f < 2.8. Meeting the above range can effectively limit the length of the lens while achieving a long focal length, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the optical lens. More specifically, 2.23 < TTL / f < 2.79.

[0076] In some embodiments, the total optical length TTL of the optical lens and the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field of view angle of the optical lens satisfy: 4 < TTL / IH < 4.9. Meeting the above range ensures a larger image plane under the condition of the same total lens length, enabling it to match a larger-sized imaging chip to achieve high-definition imaging and better realizing the balance between a small total lens length and a large image plane. More specifically, 4.04 < TTL / IH < 4.83.

[0077] In some embodiments, the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field of view angle of the optical lens, the effective focal length f of the optical lens, and the maximum field of view angle FOV of the optical lens satisfy: 0.96 < (IH / 2) / (f × Tan(FOV / 2)) < 1.01. Meeting the above range can control the optical lens to have a small distortion and improve the imaging quality.

[0078] In some embodiments, the total optical length TTL of the optical lens, the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field of view angle of the optical lens, and the maximum field of view angle FOV of the optical lens satisfy: 0.5 / ° < TTL / (IH / 2) / (FOV / 2) < 0.63 / °. Meeting the above range can limit the length of the optical lens under the condition of the same imaging area and the same field of view angle, realizing the miniaturization of the optical lens.

[0079] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f1 of the first lens satisfy: -5.5 < f1 / f < -3.5; the curvature radius R1 of the object side surface of the first lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -1.1 < R1 / f < -0.9; the curvature radius R2 of the image side surface of the first lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -2.1 < R2 / f < -1.6. Meeting the above range, by setting the first lens to have a negative refractive power and a suitable surface shape, it is beneficial for the first lens to receive a larger angle of light and collect as much light as possible into the rear optical system, increasing the light flux while achieving a large field of view. More specifically, -5.43 < f1 / f < -3.52; -1.04 < R1 / f < -0.96; -2.02 < R2 / f < -1.65.

[0080] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f2 of the second lens satisfy: 1.5 < f2 / f < 1.8; the curvature radius R3 of the object side surface of the second lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 1.3 < R3 / f < 1.7; the curvature radius R4 of the image side surface of the second lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -8.6 < R4 / f < -3.9. Meeting the above ranges defines that the second lens has an appropriate positive optical power and a suitable surface shape, has the effect of converging light rays, reduces the height of peripheral light rays, is beneficial to reducing the aperture of the rear lens, and at the same time is beneficial to balancing aberrations and improving resolution. More specifically, 1.53 < f2 / f < 1.73; 1.31 < R3 / f < 1.67; -8.6 < R4 / f < -3.93.

[0081] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f7 of the seventh lens satisfy: -3.3 < f7 / f < -2.6; the curvature radius R13 of the object side surface of the seventh lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.55 < R13 / f < 0.7; the curvature radius R14 of the image side surface of the seventh lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.35 < R14 / f < 0.5. Meeting the above ranges can effectively balance various aberrations generated by the front lens group, and at the same time is beneficial to increasing the divergence degree of light rays, increasing the area of light rays entering the imaging surface, realizing large target surface imaging of the lens, and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens. More specifically, -3.28 < f7 / f < -2.6; 0.56 < R13 / f < 0.68; 0.37 < R14 / f < 0.47.

[0082] In some embodiments, the combined focal length f1234 of the first lens, the second lens, the third lens and the fourth lens and the combined focal length f567 of the fifth lens, the sixth lens and the seventh lens satisfy: 4 < f1234 / f567 < 27. Meeting the above ranges is beneficial to balancing various aberrations of the system and improving the overall imaging quality by reasonably setting the relationship between the lens groups before and after the aperture. More specifically, 4.05 < f1234 / f567 < 26.28.

[0083] In some embodiments, the curvature radius R1 of the object side surface of the first lens and the curvature radius R2 of the image side surface of the first lens satisfy: -0.33 < (R1 - R2) / (R1 + R2) < -0.24. Meeting the above ranges can make the collected light rays enter the rear optical system in a divergent form as much as possible, and at the same time effectively reduce the angle between the light rays incident on the edge field of view and the object side surface of the first lens, and improve the relative illumination of the edge of the overall lens.

[0084] In some embodiments, the radius of curvature R13 of the object side surface of the seventh lens and the radius of curvature R14 of the image side surface of the seventh lens satisfy: 0.17 < (R13 + R14) / (R13 - R14) < 0.22. Satisfying the above range and controlling the surface shape of the seventh lens is beneficial to increasing the imaging area and the field of view angle of the optical lens, is beneficial to balancing the aberration of the optical lens, and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0085] In some embodiments, the clear aperture semi-diameter d13 of the object side surface of the seventh lens and the sagittal height Sag13 of the clear aperture of the object side surface of the seventh lens satisfy: 0.2 < Sag13 / d13 < 0.25; the clear aperture semi-diameter d14 of the image side surface of the seventh lens and the sagittal height Sag14 of the clear aperture of the image side surface of the seventh lens satisfy: 0.27 < Sag14 / d14 < 0.33. Satisfying the above range helps to control the trend of the marginal field light and highlight the detailed information of the central field of the optical lens.

[0086] In some embodiments, the maximum field of view angle FOV of the optical lens and the f-number Fno of the optical lens satisfy: 16° < FOV / Fno < 21°. Satisfying the above range defines that the optical lens has a suitable field of view angle and f-number, can collect light at large angles and obtain good imaging quality. More specifically, 16.66° < FOV / Fno < 20.01°.

[0087] In some embodiments, the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field of view angle of the optical lens and the entrance pupil diameter EPD of the optical lens satisfy: 0.8 < IH / EPD < 1.1. Satisfying the above range can increase the width of the light beam incident on the optical lens, improve the brightness at the image plane of the optical lens and avoid vignetting. More specifically, 0.84 < IH / EPD < 1.05.

[0088] In some embodiments, the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field of view angle of the optical lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.5 < IH / f < 0.6. Satisfying the above range and controlling the image height and focal length of the optical lens within a reasonable range helps the optical lens to have the characteristic of a large image plane and improve the imaging quality. More specifically, 0.52 < IH / f < 0.59.

[0089] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the back focal length BFL of the optical lens satisfy: 0.28 < BFL / f < 0.36. Satisfying the above range defines that the optical lens has a suitable back focus, which is convenient for reasonably arranging the positions of each lens and reducing the processing and assembly difficulty at the same time.

[0090] In some embodiments, the total optical length TTL of the optical lens and the sum ∑CT of the central thicknesses of the first lens to the seventh lens along the optical axis satisfy: 0.53 < ∑CT / TTL < 0.68. Satisfying the above range can effectively compress the total length of the optical lens, and is beneficial to the structural design and production process of the optical lens.

[0091] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f3 of the third lens satisfy: 0.7 < f3 / f < 1. Satisfying the above range defines that the third lens has an appropriate positive optical power, and the light rays converge further. And gluing the third lens with a positive optical power and the fourth lens with a negative optical power is beneficial to making the light rays enter the rear lens gently, can adjust the optical path difference between different fields of view, and improve the resolution. More specifically, 0.74 < f3 / f < 0.99.

[0092] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f4 of the fourth lens satisfy: -0.52 < f4 / f < -0.4; the object-side curvature radius R7 of the fourth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -3.1 < R7 / f < -1.35; the image-side curvature radius R8 of the fourth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.48 < R8 / f < 0.59. Satisfying the above range defines that the fourth lens has an appropriate negative optical power and an appropriate surface shape, can diverge the light rays emitted by the third lens, make the light rays in the edge field of view show an upward trend, is beneficial to the image points on the imaging surface being away from the optical axis, is beneficial to achieving the effect of matching with a large chip, obtaining a larger picture, can effectively eliminate aberrations, and improve the resolution ability of the optical lens.

[0093] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f5 of the fifth lens satisfy: 1.2 < f5 / f < 2.2. Satisfying the above range sets the fifth lens to have a positive refractive power, which is beneficial to converging the light rays while correcting the field curvature and distortion of the optical lens, and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens. More specifically, 1.21 < f5 / f < 2.12.

[0094] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f6 of the sixth lens satisfy: 1.2 < f6 / f < 1.8. Satisfying the above range defines that the sixth lens has a positive optical power, which is beneficial to the convergence of light rays, makes the light ray trend transition smoothly to the rear, reduces the height of the light rays incident on the rear, slows down the upward trend of the light rays, avoids the light energy loss caused by the too large main ray angle between the light rays in the large field of view and the chip when reaching the imaging surface, is beneficial to improving the illuminance of the edge field of view, and is beneficial to achieving a short total optical length. More specifically, 1.23 < f6 / f < 1.71.

[0095] In some embodiments, the optical lens satisfies the following conditional expressions: 10 mm < f < 14 mm; 29° < FOV < 34°; 5.5 mm < EPD < 8 mm; 27 mm < TTL < 31 mm; 1.5 < Fno < 1.9; 5.5 mm < IH < 7.5 mm; 27° < CRA < 35°; 3.3 mm < BFL < 4.1 mm. In the above conditional expressions, f represents the effective focal length of the optical lens, FOV represents the maximum field of view angle of the optical lens, EPD represents the entrance pupil diameter of the optical lens, TTL represents the total optical length of the optical lens, FNO represents the aperture value of the optical lens, IH represents the true image height corresponding to the maximum field of view angle of the optical lens, CRA represents the chief ray angle of incidence of the optical lens, and BFL represents the back focal length of the optical lens. Meeting the above ranges, the optical lens has at least one or more advantages such as a large target surface, a large aperture, and a long focal length characteristic. More specifically, 10.41 mm < f < 13.36 mm; 5.78 mm < EPD < 7.84 mm; 27.91 mm < TTL < 30.01 mm; 1.59 < Fno < 1.81; 27° < CRA < 34.44°; 3.38 mm < BFL < 4.09 mm; 29.9° < FOV < 33.1°; 5.99 mm < IH < 7.14 mm.

[0096] In some embodiments, the lens material of the optical lens provided by the present invention can be glass or plastic. When the lens material is plastic, the production cost can be effectively reduced. On the other hand, when the lens material is glass, the geometric chromatic aberration of the optical system can be effectively corrected by the low dispersion characteristic of the glass itself. The optical lens provided by the present invention can adopt an all-glass lens structure, which can reduce dispersion, effectively correct the chromatic aberration of the optical lens, and improve the imaging quality.

[0097] In some embodiments, the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, the fifth lens, the sixth lens, and the seventh lens can adopt spherical lenses or aspherical lenses. Compared with the spherical structure, the aspherical structure can effectively reduce the aberration of the optical system, thereby reducing the number of lenses and the size of the lenses, and better realizing the miniaturization of the lens. More specifically, the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, the fifth lens, the sixth lens, and the seventh lens of the present invention adopt spherical lenses.

[0098] The present invention will be further described in multiple embodiments below. In each embodiment, the thickness, radius of curvature, and material selection of each lens in the optical lens are somewhat different. For specific differences, please refer to the parameter tables of each embodiment. The following embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited only by the following embodiments. Any other changes, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the innovative points of the present invention should be regarded as equivalent substitution methods and are included in the protection scope of the present invention.
