[0045] For a better understanding of the present application, various aspects of the present application will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these detailed descriptions are merely descriptions of embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application in any way. Throughout the specification, the same reference numerals refer to the same elements. The expression "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0046] It should be noted that in this specification, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used solely to distinguish one feature from another and do not limit the features. Thus, the first lens discussed below could also be referred to as the second lens or the third lens without departing from the teachings of the present invention.

[0047] In the drawings, the thickness, size, and shape of the lenses are slightly exaggerated for ease of illustration. Specifically, the shapes of the spherical and aspherical surfaces shown in the drawings are provided by way of example. That is, the shapes of the spherical and aspherical surfaces are not limited to those shown in the drawings. The drawings are for illustration only and are not drawn strictly to scale.

[0048] In this article, the paraxial region refers to the area near the optical axis. If a lens surface is convex and the location of the convex surface is undefined, it means that the lens surface is convex at least in the paraxial region. If a lens surface is concave and the location of the concave surface is undefined, it means that the lens surface is concave at least in the paraxial region. 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.

[0049] It should also be understood that the terms "comprises," "including," "having," "includes," and / or "comprising," when used in this specification, indicate the presence of the stated features, elements, and / or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof. In addition, when expressions such as "at least one of..." appear after a list of listed features, they modify the entire list of features rather than modifying the individual elements in the list. In addition, when describing embodiments of the present application, "may" is used to mean "one or more embodiments of the present application." And, the term "exemplary" is intended to refer to an example or illustration.

[0050] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. It should also be understood that terms (such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries) should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant technology and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly defined as such herein.

[0051] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0052] The optical lens provided in the embodiment of the present invention comprises eight lenses in total, and includes, from the object side to the imaging plane along the optical axis, a front group with negative optical power and a rear group with positive optical power;

[0053] The front lens group includes, in order from the object side to the image plane along the optical axis: a first lens and a second lens. The first lens may have negative optical power, with its object-side surface being convex and its image-side surface being concave. The second lens may have negative optical power, with its object-side surface being concave and its image-side surface being convex.

[0054] The rear group includes, in order from the object side to the imaging surface along the optical axis: a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, a seventh lens, and an eighth lens. The third lens may have a positive optical power, its object side is convex, and its image side may be concave or convex. The fourth lens may have a positive optical power, its object side is convex, and its image side is convex. The fifth lens may have a negative optical power, its object side is concave, and its image side is concave. The sixth lens may have a positive optical power, its object side is convex, and its image side is convex. The seventh lens may have a negative optical power, its object side is concave, and its image side may be concave or convex. The eighth lens may have a negative optical power, its object side is concave, and its image side is convex.

[0055] In some embodiments, the optical lens may further include an aperture, and the aperture may be located between the second lens and the third lens, that is, between the front group and the rear group. It can be understood that the aperture is used to limit the amount of incident light to change the brightness of the image. At the same time, an aperture for limiting the light beam is provided between the front group and the rear group, which can reduce the generation of ghost images of the optical lens, is conducive to converging the light rays entering the optical system, reducing the rear port diameter of the optical lens, and the aperture arranged here also enables the optical lens to have a larger aperture, improving the light intake of the lens, so that the lens can also achieve high-definition imaging in a dim environment.

[0056] In some embodiments, the optical lens may further include a filter, and the filter is disposed between the eighth 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.

[0057] In some embodiments, the combined focal length fa of the front group and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -3.2 < fa / f < -2. Meeting the above conditions, by setting the front group before the aperture to have an appropriate negative refractive power, it is beneficial to reduce the spherical aberration and field curvature generated by the front lens of the optical lens and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0058] In some embodiments, the combined focal length fb of the rear group and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.7 < fb / f < 0.9. Meeting the above conditions, by setting the rear group after the aperture to have a large positive refractive power, it is beneficial to balance the distortion and astigmatism generated by the front lens of the optical lens and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0059] In some embodiments, the overall optical length TTL of the optical lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 2.4 < TTL / f < 2.65. Meeting the above conditions can effectively limit the length of the lens and is beneficial to the miniaturization of the optical lens.

[0060] In some embodiments, the total optical length TTL of the optical lens and the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens satisfy: 1.5 < TTL / IH < 1.58. Meeting the above conditions can better achieve the miniaturization of the lens. At the same time, when ensuring the same total length of the lens, it has a larger image plane and can match a larger-size imaging chip to achieve high-definition imaging.

[0061] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens, the maximum field angle FOV of the optical lens, and the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens satisfy: 68° < (f × FOV) / IH < 76°. Meeting the above conditions can effectively balance the requirements of large-angle imaging and high-definition imaging, and improve the adaptability of the optical lens in different application scenarios.

[0062] In some embodiments, the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens and the aperture value Fno of the optical lens satisfy: 5.5mm < IH / Fno < 6.5mm. Meeting the above conditions can make the lens have a larger aperture while having a larger imaging target surface, ensuring that the lens also has a larger light flux in a darker environment, thereby improving the picture quality of the lens in different environments.

[0063] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f1 of the first lens satisfy: -3.2 < f1 / f < -2. Meeting the above conditions can make the first lens have a large negative optical power, and can receive as much light as possible into the system to a large extent, which is beneficial to achieving a large field angle of the optical lens.

[0064] In some embodiments, the focal length f1 of the first lens and the focal length f2 of the second lens satisfy: 0.02 < f1 / f2 < 0.1. Meeting the above conditions, by reasonably distributing the focal length relationship between the first and second lenses, the incident light can be effectively diverged, which is beneficial to achieving the balance of the large field angle and large aperture of the optical lens.

[0065] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f2 of the second lens satisfy: -55 < f2 / f < -20. Meeting the above conditions can make the second lens have an appropriate negative optical power, further diverge the incident light, and avoid excessive light deflection caused by the overly concentrated optical power of the first lens, reducing the difficulty of chromatic aberration correction of the optical lens.

[0066] In some embodiments, the radius of curvature R3 of the object side surface of the second lens, the radius of curvature R4 of the image side surface of the second lens, and the central thickness CT2 of the second lens satisfy: 0.95 < (R3 - CT2) / R4 < 1.2. Meeting the above conditions enables the second lens to adopt a lens design close to concentric circles, which can reduce the optical path difference between the center and the periphery of the lens, is beneficial to correcting the distortion of the optical lens, and improving the overall imaging quality.

[0067] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f3 of the third lens satisfy: 1.1 < f3 / f < 1.8; the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f4 of the fourth lens satisfy: 1.4 < f4 / f < 2. Meeting the above conditions, by setting the third and fourth lenses to have relatively large positive optical powers, the incident light rays at the front end can be effectively converged, which is beneficial to correcting the aberration and the distortion of the edge field of view brought by the front-end lenses, making the lens have less distortion and capable of providing a high-definition imaging effect.

[0068] 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 < -0.8. Meeting the above conditions can make the fifth lens have a relatively large negative optical power, which can diverge the incident light rays to a greater extent, make the peripheral light rays and the central light rays turn upwards, reach a higher imaging position, be beneficial to increasing the imaging area of the optical lens, and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0069] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f6 of the sixth lens satisfy: 0.65 < f6 / f < 0.95. Meeting the above conditions can make the sixth lens have a relatively large positive optical power, which is beneficial to the smooth transition of light rays, and at the same time balances the spherical aberration and field curvature of the fifth lens, improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0070] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f7 of the seventh lens satisfy: -4 < f7 / f < -2.8; the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f8 of the eighth lens satisfy: -1.55 < f8 / f < -1.1. Meeting the above conditions, by reasonably setting the negative optical powers of the seventh and eighth lenses, the light rays in the edge field of view can be effectively diverged, and at the same time, combined with the curvature of the edge region of the eighth lens, the exit angle of the light rays in the edge field of view is reduced, the relative illumination of the edge field of view is increased, and the overall imaging quality is improved.

[0071] In some embodiments, the distance CT78 between the seventh lens and the eighth lens on the optical axis and the central thickness CT7 of the seventh lens satisfy: 2 < CT78 / CT7 < 5.6; the distance CT78 between the seventh lens and the eighth lens on the optical axis and the central thickness CT8 of the eighth lens satisfy: 3.2 < CT78 / CT8 < 4.2. Meeting the above conditions, by reasonably setting the central thicknesses and gaps of the seventh and eighth lenses, the aberrations of the system can be effectively corrected, and large target surface imaging of the lens can be better achieved.

[0072] In some embodiments, the clear aperture DM11 of the object side surface of the first lens and the clear aperture DM82 of the image side surface of the eighth lens satisfy: 0.7 < DM11 / DM82 < 0.9. Meeting the above conditions, the lens has a relatively large incident aperture. While ensuring that as much light as possible enters the system, the area of light entering the imaging surface is increased, which is beneficial to achieving the balance of large image surface and large aperture of the lens.

[0073] 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 second lens satisfy: 2 < R1 / R2 < 8. Meeting the above conditions, by reasonably setting the meniscus shape of the first lens, it is beneficial for light to enter the subsequent system smoothly, reducing the difficulty of correcting aberrations and distortions, and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0074] In some embodiments, the curvature radius R7 of the object side surface of the fourth lens and the curvature radius R8 of the image side surface of the fourth lens satisfy: -2.7 < R7 / R8 < -1.2. Meeting the above conditions, it is beneficial to better converge light, shorten the distance of light reaching the next lens, and is beneficial to reducing the total length of the optical lens.

[0075] In some embodiments, the curvature radius R11 of the object side surface of the sixth lens and the curvature radius R12 of the image side surface of the sixth lens satisfy: -1.4 < R11 / R12 < -0.8. Meeting the above conditions, by reasonably setting the biconvex surface type of the sixth lens, it is beneficial to better converge light, shorten the distance of light reaching the next lens, and is beneficial to reducing the total length of the optical lens.

[0076] In some embodiments, the curvature radius R15 of the object side surface of the eighth lens and the curvature radius R16 of the image side surface of the eighth lens satisfy: 0.3 < R15 / R16 < 0.4. Meeting the above conditions, by reasonably setting the surface type of the eighth lens, the incident light can be effectively diverged, increasing the height of light reaching the imaging surface, which is beneficial to achieving large target surface imaging of the lens.

[0077] In some embodiments, the combined focal length fa of the front group and the combined focal length fb of the rear group satisfy: -3.6 < fa / fb < -2.8. Meeting the above conditions, by reasonably setting the focal length relationship between the lens groups before and after the aperture, on the one hand, it is beneficial to the appropriate divergence of light, enabling the light entering the system from the front end to smoothly enter the rear optical system, making the overall light path more gentle. On the other hand, it is beneficial to optimize aberrations and improve the overall resolution of the lens.

[0078] In some embodiments, the image-side curvature radius R4 of the second lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -1.2 < R4 / f < -0.8; the image-side curvature radius R9 of the fifth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -6 < R9 / f < -2. Meeting the above conditions can appropriately suppress the height of the marginal field light entering the next lens, reduce the correction difficulty of marginal distortion, and improve the overall imaging quality.

[0079] In some embodiments, the clear aperture DM1 of the first lens and the clear aperture DM2 of the second lens satisfy: DM1 > DM2; the clear apertures DM3, DM4, DM5, DM6, DM7, and DM8 of the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth lenses satisfy: DM8 > DM7 > DM6 > DM5 > DM4 > DM3. Meeting the above conditions, on the one hand, it can make the assembly of the lens more convenient. On the other hand, while ensuring that the lens has a large light flux, it has a small rear-end volume, better realizing the miniaturization of the lens volume.

[0080] In some embodiments, the optical lens satisfies the conditional formula: 6.8mm < f < 7.5mm, 114° < FOV < 122°, 17.8mm < TTL < 18.2mm, 1.85 < Fno < 2.1, 11.4mm < IH < 12mm, where f represents the effective focal length of the optical lens, FOV represents the maximum field angle of the optical lens, TTL represents the overall optical length of the optical lens, Fno represents the aperture value of the optical lens, and IH represents the true image height corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens. Meeting the above conditions indicates that the optical lens provided by the embodiments of the present invention at least has: a large aperture value, enabling the lens to achieve high-definition imaging in a relatively dark environment; a large imaging surface, which can be matched with a larger-size chip to achieve high-definition imaging.

[0081] In some embodiments, the eight lenses in the optical lens can all be plastic lenses or a glass-plastic hybrid structure. Preferably, the optical lens of the present invention employs an eight-lens glass-plastic hybrid structure to improve thermal stability. Specifically, the third lens can be a glass lens, while the first, second, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth lenses can all be plastic lenses. The glass-plastic hybrid structure effectively reduces costs, corrects aberrations, and reduces size, providing a more cost-effective optical lens product.

[0082] In some embodiments, the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth lenses may be spherical or aspherical lenses. Compared to spherical lenses, aspherical structures can effectively reduce the aberrations of the optical system, thereby reducing the number and size of lenses and achieving better miniaturization. More specifically, in the optical lens provided by the present invention, the third lens is a spherical lens, and the first, second, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth lenses may be aspherical lenses.

[0083] 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:

[0084] ;

[0085] Where z is the distance between the surface and the vertex in the direction of the optical axis, h is the distance from the optical axis to the surface, c is the curvature of the surface vertex, K is the quadratic surface coefficient, and B, C, D, E, F, G, and H are the fourth-order, sixth-order, eighth-order, tenth-order, twelfth-order, fourteenth-order, and sixteenth-order surface coefficients, respectively.

[0086] 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.
