[0036] 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.

[0037] The features, principles and other aspects of this application are described in detail below.

[0038] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a telephoto lens according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 1As shown, a telephoto lens, from the object side to the image side, includes a first lens assembly 10, a first prism P1, a second lens assembly 20, a second prism P2, and an image sensor. The first lens assembly 10 includes at least a first lens L1. The first prism P1 includes a first working surface 110 facing the first lens L1 and a second working surface 120 facing the second lens assembly 20. The second prism P2 includes a third working surface 210 facing the second lens assembly 20, a fifth working surface 230 facing the image sensor, and a fourth working surface 220 for reflecting incident light from the fifth working surface 230 a second time. The image sensor's imaging surface IMG is positioned relative to the fifth working surface 230. The fifth working surface 230 is used to reflect incident light from the first working surface 110 a first time and to exit incident light from the fourth working surface 220 onto the imaging surface IMG. The thickness OAL1 of the second lens assembly 20 and the equivalent thickness H15 of the second prism P2 satisfy: 0.25≤OAL1 / H15≤0.85.

[0039] When the telephoto lens of this application is in use, the incident light sequentially passes through the first lens L1 and the first working surface 110 and enters the first prism P1, then exits through the second working surface 120 and passes through the second lens assembly 20 and the third working surface 210 to enter the second prism P2, is reflected for the first time by the fifth working surface 230 and then reflected to the fourth working surface 220, is reflected for the second time by the fourth working surface 220 and then reflected to the fifth working surface 230, and exits through the fifth working surface 230 to the imaging surface IMG.

[0040] By controlling the ratio between the thickness OAL1 of the second lens assembly 20 and the equivalent thickness H15 of the second prism P2 within a reasonable range, it is beneficial to shorten the length of the second lens assembly 20, thereby reducing the overall volume, which is conducive to lens miniaturization and effectively reducing the overall height. Simultaneously, by having the light reflected twice internally by the second prism P2 before exiting to the imaging surface IMG, the original direction of the light can be changed without occupying a large space, and only a short optical path is needed to reach the imaging surface IMG. This correspondingly shortens the lens's back focal length. Folding the lens's back focal length twice inside the second prism P2 further reduces the overall height and improves image quality, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0041] In an exemplary embodiment, the second lens assembly 20 includes a second lens L2, a third lens L3, a fourth lens L4, and a fifth lens L5 arranged in sequence. The first lens L1, the second lens L2, and the fourth lens L4 have positive optical power, while the third lens L3 and the fifth lens L5 have negative optical power.

[0042] Specifically, the second working surface 120 is positioned toward the second lens L2, and the third working surface 210 is positioned toward the fifth lens L5. The thickness OAL1 of the second lens assembly 20 is the thickness OAL1 between the object side of the second lens L2 and the image side of the fifth lens L5. The thickness OAL1 between the object side of the second lens L2 and the image side of the fifth lens L5, and the equivalent thickness H15 of the second prism P2 satisfy: 0.25≤OAL1 / H15≤0.85.

[0043] When the telephoto lens of this application is in use, the incident light passes sequentially through the first lens L1 and the first working surface 110 into the first prism P1, then exits through the second working surface 120 and passes sequentially through the second lens L2, the third lens L3, the fourth lens L4, the fifth lens L5 and the third working surface 210 into the second prism P2. After the first reflection by the fifth working surface 230, it is reflected to the fourth working surface 220, then reflected a second time by the fourth working surface 220, and finally exits through the fifth working surface 230 to the imaging surface IMG.

[0044] Specifically, the first lens L1 has positive optical power and is the lens closest to the object side in the first lens assembly 10. The first lens L1 plays the main role in converging light in the entire optical system. The first prism P1 can correct the propagation path of the incident light by changing the position of the first lens L1 in the first lens assembly 10 through the first working surface 110 and the second working surface 120. This allows the light emitted from the first prism P1 to reach the second lens L2 after a shorter optical path, thereby shortening the back focal length of the lens. Furthermore, by combining the positive and negative focal powers of multiple lenses, various aberrations can be balanced to obtain a clear image.

[0045] Based on the optical power distribution of the first lens L1 to the fifth lens L5, and by reasonably allocating the optical power, spacing and refractive index of each lens, as well as the angle and thickness of the first prism P1 and the second prism P2, and compressing the height of the first lens assembly 10 and the second lens assembly 20 while satisfying the focal length, the effect of a large target surface, a large aperture and a short optical length can be achieved, effectively reducing the overall height and making the lens miniaturized.

[0046] In an exemplary embodiment, the focal length f1 of the first lens L1 and the focal length f of the telephoto lens satisfy: 1≤f1 / f≤5. By controlling the ratio of the focal length f1 of the first lens L1 to the focal length f of the telephoto lens within a suitable range, it is beneficial to reduce the sensitivity of the first lens L1 and improve the image quality.

[0047] In an exemplary embodiment, the focal length f2 of the second lens L2 and the focal length f of the telephoto lens satisfy: 0.2≤f2 / f≤0.8. By controlling the ratio of the focal length f2 of the second lens L2 to the focal length f of the telephoto lens, it is beneficial to converge the light and obtain the desired focal length.

[0048] In an exemplary embodiment, the focal length f5 of the fifth lens L5 and the focal length f of the telephoto lens satisfy: 0.15≤abs(f5) / f≤0.75. By controlling the absolute value of the focal length f5 of the fifth lens L5 and the ratio of the focal length f of the telephoto lens, it is beneficial to correct distortion and field curvature.

[0049] In an exemplary embodiment, the equivalent thickness H4 of the first prism P1, the focal length f of the telephoto lens, and the aperture F# of the telephoto lens satisfy: 8≤|H4-f| / F#≤21. By controlling the ratio of the absolute value of the difference between the equivalent thickness H4 of the first prism P1 and the focal length f of the telephoto lens to the aperture F# of the telephoto lens, light leakage is avoided, which would cause the actual aperture to fail to meet the requirements.

[0050] In an exemplary embodiment, the equivalent thickness H15 of the second prism P2 and the focal length f of the telephoto lens satisfy: 0.25≤H15 / f≤1. By controlling the ratio of the equivalent thickness H15 of the second prism P2 to the focal length f of the telephoto lens within a reasonable range, the volume of the second prism P2 can be controlled, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the lens.

[0051] In an exemplary embodiment, the radius of curvature r1 of the object side surface of the first lens L1 and the radius of curvature r2 of the object side surface of the second lens L2 satisfy: 1≤r1 / r2≤3. By controlling the ratio of the radius of curvature r1 of the object side surface of the first lens L1 and the radius of curvature r2 of the object side surface of the second lens L2 to be within a reasonable range, it is beneficial to control the light path of the first lens L1 and the second lens L2 and reduce spherical aberration and coma.

[0052] In an exemplary embodiment, the equivalent thickness H2 of the first lens L1 and the equivalent thickness H4 of the first prism P1 satisfy: 0.1≤H2 / H4≤1. By controlling the ratio of the equivalent thickness H2 of the first lens L1 to the equivalent thickness H4 of the first prism P1 within a reasonable range, the first lens L1 is controlled to have a certain equivalent thickness, thereby ensuring the lens strength of the first lens L1.

[0053] In an exemplary embodiment, the focal length f and the aperture F# of the telephoto lens satisfy: 4≤f / F#≤10. By controlling the ratio of the focal length f and the aperture F# of the telephoto lens within a reasonable range, the aperture can be controlled, which is beneficial for correcting coma.

[0054] In an exemplary embodiment, the distance OAL2 from the fifth working surface 230 to the imaging surface IMG and the aperture F# of the telephoto lens satisfy: 0.3≤OAL2 / F#≤0.65. By controlling the ratio of the distance OAL2 from the fifth working surface 230 to the imaging surface IMG and the aperture F# of the telephoto lens to be within a reasonable range, it is beneficial to avoid dirty imaging and improve imaging quality.

[0055] In an exemplary embodiment, the focal length f1 of the first lens L1, the focal length f2 of the second lens L2, and the focal length f5 of the fifth lens L5 satisfy: 3≤(f1+f2) / abs(f5)≤11. By controlling the ratio of the absolute value of the sum of the focal length f1 of the first lens L1 and the focal length f2 of the second lens L2 to the focal length f5 of the fifth lens L5 to be within a reasonable range, the focal length of each lens can be controlled within a reasonable range, which is beneficial for controlling spherical aberration and achieving a large aperture.

[0056] In an exemplary embodiment, the Abbe number Ab1 of the first lens L1 satisfies: 55≤Ab1≤85. By controlling the Abbe number Ab1 of the first lens L1 within a reasonable range, it is beneficial to optimize chromatic aberration.

[0057] In an exemplary embodiment, the telephoto lens also includes an aperture stop STO, which is located on the image side of the first prism P1. This helps to reduce the effective aperture of the second lens assembly 20, thereby reducing the overall height.

[0058] In an exemplary embodiment, the telephoto lens also includes a filter IR for correcting color deviation and / or a protective glass for protecting the photosensitive element located on the imaging surface IMG. The filter IR is disposed between the fifth working surface 230 and the imaging surface IMG, which is beneficial for correcting aberrations generated by the imaging system.

[0059] In an exemplary embodiment, the third working surface 210 is perpendicular to the fourth working surface 220. The included angle α between the fourth working surface 220 and the fifth working surface 230 satisfies: 27°≤α≤33°, and the included angle β between the third working surface 210 and the fifth working surface 230 satisfies: 54°≤β≤66°. The third working surface 210 is connected to the fifth working surface 230, and the fourth working surface 220 is connected to the fifth working surface 230. Specifically, the imaging surface IMG is tilted relative to the fourth working surface 220 and closer to the third working surface 210. By controlling the included angle α between the fourth working surface 220 and the fifth working surface 230 and the included angle β between the third working surface 210 and the fifth working surface 230, the fourth working surface 220 and the fifth working surface 230 can be used for internal double reflection of light, and the camera height can be significantly reduced. At the same time, because the imaging surface IMG is set relative to the fifth working surface 230, the imaging surface IMG is tilted, and the image sensor is also tilted, further reducing the overall height.

[0060] In an exemplary embodiment, the first prism P1 further includes a sixth working surface 130, which is used to reflect incident light from the first working surface 110 to the second working surface 120.

[0061] The incident light rays pass through the first lens L1 and the first working surface 110 in sequence and enter the first prism P1. They are then reflected by the sixth working surface 130 to the second working surface 120 and exit through the second working surface 120.

[0062] Specifically, the first prism P1 is an isosceles right-angle prism, the first working surface 110 is perpendicular to the second working surface 120, the first working surface 110 is connected to the sixth working surface 130, the second working surface 120 is connected to the sixth working surface 130, and the sixth working surface 130 reflects the incident light entering the first prism P1 to deflect the light, thereby correcting the propagation path of the incident light and further reducing the height of the camera.

[0063] In an exemplary embodiment, the first prism P1 is a flat glass plate, and the first working surface 110 and the second working surface 120 are arranged in parallel. The incident light rays pass through the first lens L1 and the first working surface 110 in sequence and enter the first prism P1, and then exit through the second working surface 120. This helps to correct the propagation path of the incident light rays, so that the incident light rays can reach the second lens L2 after exiting the first prism P1 with a shorter optical path, thereby shortening the back focal length of the lens and reducing the overall height.

[0064] In an exemplary embodiment, the fourth working surface 220 may be coated with a reflective film. This ensures that incident light is completely reflected when reflected by the fourth working surface 220, reducing the risk of incident light being refracted through the second prism P2 during reflection at the fourth working surface 220. It is understood that a portion of the fifth working surface 230 may also be coated with a reflective film. The sixth working surface 130 may be coated with a reflective film to ensure complete reflection of light, reducing the risk of incident light being refracted through the first prism P1 during reflection at the sixth working surface 130.

[0065] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides an electronic device, including the aforementioned telephoto lens. The electronic device includes, but is not limited to, smartphones, tablets, laptops, gimbal cameras, surveillance cameras, and other imaging devices. Implementations of this electronic device can be found in the embodiments of the telephoto lens; repeated details will not be elaborated further.

[0066] However, those skilled in the art will understand that the number of lenses constituting the optical imaging lens can be changed without departing from the technical solutions claimed in this application to obtain the various results and advantages described in this specification. For example, although the first lens assembly 10 is described in the embodiment as having one lens, it is not limited to including one lens. If desired, the first lens assembly 10 may also include other numbers of lenses; although the second lens assembly 20 is described in the embodiment as having four lenses, it is not limited to including four lenses. If desired, the second lens assembly 20 may also include other numbers of lenses.

[0067] The following describes in further detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, specific embodiments of the telephoto lens applicable to the above-described embodiments.

[0068] Example 1

[0069] The following is for reference Figure 2 A telephoto lens according to Embodiment 1 of this application is described.

[0070] The telephoto lens of Embodiment 1, from the object side to the image side, includes a first lens assembly 10, a first prism P1, a second lens assembly 20, a second prism P2, and an image sensor in sequence. The first lens assembly 10 includes a first lens L1, and the second lens assembly 20 includes a second lens L2, a third lens L3, a fourth lens L4, and a fifth lens L5 arranged in sequence. The first prism P1 includes a first working surface 110 facing the first lens L1 and a second working surface 120 facing the second lens L2. The second prism P2 includes a third working surface 210 facing the fifth lens L5 and a second working surface 120 facing the image sensor. The image sensor comprises a fifth working surface 230 and a fourth working surface 220 for a second reflection of incident light from the fifth working surface 230. The imaging surface IMG of the image sensor is positioned relative to the fifth working surface 230. The fifth working surface 230 is used for a first reflection of incident light from the first working surface 110 and for exiting incident light from the fourth working surface 220 onto the imaging surface IMG. The thickness OAL1 between the object side of the second lens L2 and the image side of the fifth lens L5, and the equivalent thickness H15 of the second prism P2, satisfy: 0.25 ≤ OAL1 / H15 ≤ 0.85. The first lens L1, the second lens L2, and the fourth lens L4 have positive optical power, and the third lens L3 and the fifth lens L5 have negative optical power. The aperture stop STO is positioned on the image side of the first prism P1. The filter IR is positioned between the fifth working surface 230 and the imaging surface IMG. The third working surface 210 is perpendicular to the fourth working surface 220. The third working surface 210 is connected to the fifth working surface 230, and the fourth working surface 220 is connected to the fifth working surface 230. The included angle α between the fourth working surface 220 and the fifth working surface 230 is 30°, and the included angle β between the third working surface 210 and the fifth working surface 230 is 60°. The first prism P1 is a flat glass, and the first working surface 110 and the second working surface 120 are arranged in parallel.

[0071] The first lens L1 has positive optical power, with a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface. The second lens L2 has positive optical power, with a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface. The third lens L3 has negative optical power, with a concave object-side surface and a concave image-side surface. The fourth lens L4 has positive optical power, with a convex object-side surface and a convex image-side surface. The fifth lens L5 has negative optical power, with a concave object-side surface and a convex image-side surface. The filter IR has both an object-side surface and an image-side surface. The incident light rays pass sequentially through the first lens L1 and the first working surface 110 into the first prism P1, then exit through the second working surface 120 and pass sequentially through the second lens L2, the third lens L3, the fourth lens L4, the fifth lens L5 and the third working surface 210 into the second prism P2. After the first reflection by the fifth working surface 230, the light rays are reflected to the fourth working surface 220, then reflected a second time by the fourth working surface 220, and finally exit through the fifth working surface 230 and pass through the object side and image side of the filter IR, and finally form an image on the imaging surface IMG.
