Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of imaging lenses, and in particular to a projection lens. Background Art
[0002] As people's expectations for a better driving experience continue to rise, the use of in-vehicle projection lenses for intelligent driving is increasing, and their status in the automotive industry is continuously improving. A head-up display (HUD), also known as a head-up display, utilizes optical reflection principles to project driver assistance information, navigation information, check and control information, and ADAS information onto the windshield, approximately 2 meters ahead, or above the tip of the hood. It can also display warnings from various driver assistance systems, such as lane departure warnings and pedestrian avoidance warnings from night vision assistance systems with pedestrian recognition. This prevents drivers from frequently looking down at the instrument panel or onboard screens while driving, significantly enhancing driving safety.
[0003] However, the projection lenses currently used for automotive HUDs have a very low utilization rate of the display chip due to the large difference between the aspect ratio of the image plane (field of view ratio) and the aspect ratio of the object plane (i.e. the aspect ratio of the display chip, such as 16:9). At the same time, the field of view is small, and the projected pattern is prone to vignetting. The brightness at the projection surface is insufficient, resulting in unclear patterns and other defects, making it difficult to meet usage requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0042] 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.
[0043] 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.
[0044] 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.

[0045] 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 projection plane is called the projection-side surface of the lens, and the surface of each lens closest to the image source plane is called the image source-side surface of the lens.
[0046] 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.
[0047] 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.
[0048] 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.
[0049] The projection lens provided in an embodiment of the present invention comprises eight lenses, comprising, in order from the projection plane to the image source plane, a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, a seventh lens, and an eighth lens, along the optical axis. Both the first and second lenses are cylindrical lenses. The first and second lenses have optical power in the sagittal cross-section, i.e., the y-direction, and no optical power in the meridional cross-section, i.e., the x-direction. Cylindrical lenses can control asymmetric optical paths and are suitable for applications requiring one-dimensional focusing, beam shaping, or astigmatism correction. It is understood that cylindrical lenses only have refractive power for light in the sagittal direction, enabling the projection lens to have different magnifications in the meridional and sagittal directions, thereby improving the utilization of the effective area of the light-emitting chip. Furthermore, to meet the requirements of the projection target area, the projection lens has different dimensional ratios in the meridional and sagittal directions of the image source plane than in the meridional and sagittal directions of the projection plane. This allows for a suitable dimensional ratio in the meridional and sagittal directions of the projection plane to meet the requirements.
[0050] Specifically, the first lens may have positive focal power, with its projection-side surface being convex and its image-source-side surface being convex. The second lens may have negative focal power, with its projection-side surface being concave and its image-source-side surface being concave. The third lens may have positive focal power, with its projection-side surface being convex and its image-source-side surface being concave. The fourth lens may have negative focal power, with its projection-side surface being convex and its image-source-side surface being concave. The fifth lens may have positive focal power, with its projection-side surface being concave and its image-source-side surface being convex. The sixth lens may have negative focal power, with its projection-side surface being concave and its image-source-side surface being concave. The seventh lens may have positive focal power, with its projection-side surface being convex and its image-source-side surface being convex. The eighth lens may have positive focal power, with its projection-side surface being convex and its image-source-side surface being convex.
[0051] In some embodiments, the projection lens may further include an aperture, which may be located between the fifth and sixth lenses. It will be appreciated that the aperture is used to limit the amount of light entering, thereby varying the brightness of the resulting image. Positioning the aperture between the fifth and sixth lenses facilitates correction of aperture aberrations.
[0052] In some embodiments, the projection lens may further include a protective glass disposed between the eighth lens and the image source plane. The protective glass serves to protect the projection lens and prevent the light-emitting chip from being damaged, which may affect the imaging effect of the lens.
[0053] In some embodiments, the sixth lens and the seventh lens may be glued together to form a cemented lens, which can effectively correct the chromatic aberration of the projection lens, reduce the eccentricity sensitivity of the projection lens, balance the aberration of the projection lens, and improve the projection quality of the projection lens; it can also reduce the assembly sensitivity of the projection lens, thereby reducing the processing difficulty of the projection lens and improving the assembly yield of the projection lens.
[0054] In some embodiments, the true image height IHx corresponding to the maximum field angle of the projection lens in the x direction, the effective focal length fx of the projection lens in the x direction, and the maximum field angle FOVx of the projection lens in the x direction satisfy: 1.03 < (IHx / 2) / (fx * Tan(FOVx / 2)) < 1.06; the true image height IHy corresponding to the maximum field angle of the projection lens in the y direction, the effective focal length fy of the projection lens in the y direction, and the maximum field angle FOVy of the projection lens in the y direction satisfy: 0.97 < (IHy / 2) / (fy * Tan(FOVy / 2)) < 1. Meeting the above range, the optical distortion of the projection lens in the sagittal section direction and in the meridional section direction is better controlled, the resolution of the projection lens is improved, a better projection effect can be obtained, and it is more suitable for human eyes to view.
[0055] In some embodiments, the total optical length TTL of the projection lens and the effective focal length fx of the projection lens in the x direction satisfy: 5.9 < TTL / fx < 7.8; the total optical length TTL of the projection lens and the effective focal length fy of the projection lens in the y direction satisfy: 4.5 < TTL / fy < 6. Meeting the above range, the telephoto characteristics of the lens can be achieved, the length of the lens can be effectively limited, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the projection lens. More specifically, 6.46 < TTL / fx < 7.13; 5.02 < TTL / fy < 5.46.
[0056] In some embodiments, the total optical length TTL of the projection lens and the true image height IHx corresponding to the maximum field angle of the projection lens in the x direction satisfy: 16 < TTL / IHx < 2l; the total optical length TTL of the projection lens and the true image height IHy corresponding to the maximum field angle of the projection lens in the y direction satisfy: 10 < TTL / IHy < 13. Meeting the above range is beneficial to the balance of the volume of the projection lens and the large image plane. More specifically, 17.75 < TTL / IHx < 19.59; 10.67 < TTL / IHy < 11.79.
[0057] In some embodiments, the back focal length BFL of the projection lens and the effective focal length fx of the projection lens in the x direction satisfy: 2 < BFL / fx < 2.6; the back focal length BFL of the projection lens and the effective focal length fy of the projection lens in the y direction satisfy: 1.5 < BFL / fy < 2. Meeting the above ranges is conducive to achieving a balance between obtaining good imaging quality and an optical back focal length that is easy to assemble. While ensuring the projection quality of the projection lens, it avoids interference between the lens and other components and reduces the assembly process difficulty of the lens module. More specifically, 2.17 < BFL / fx < 2.39; 1.68 < BFL / fy < 1.83.
[0058] In some embodiments, the effective focal length fx of the projection lens in the x direction and the true image height IHx corresponding to the maximum field angle of view of the projection lens in the x direction satisfy: 2.5 < fx / IHx < 3; the effective focal length fy of the projection lens in the y direction and the true image height IHy corresponding to the maximum field angle of view of the projection lens in the y direction satisfy: 2 < fy / IHy < 2.4. Meeting the above ranges can not only achieve the long focal length characteristics of the lens, presenting larger local details and making the picture more concentrated and compact, but also achieve the large image plane characteristics of the lens and realize high-pixel imaging of the lens. More specifically, 2.74 < fx / IHx < 2.79; 2.11 < fy / IHy < 2.17.
[0059] In some embodiments, the clear aperture semi-diameter d1 of the projection side surface of the first lens, the true image height IHx corresponding to the maximum field angle of view of the projection lens in the x direction, and the maximum field angle of view FOVx of the projection lens in the x direction satisfy: 23 < d1 / (IHx / 2) / tan(FOVx / 2) < 33; the clear aperture semi-diameter d1 of the projection side surface of the first lens, the true image height IHy corresponding to the maximum field angle of view of the projection lens in the y direction, and the maximum field angle of view FOVy of the projection lens in the y direction satisfy: 10 < d1 / (IHy / 2) / tan(FOVy / 2) < 15. Meeting the above ranges can have a small front port diameter while meeting the requirements of the projection lens having a large field angle and a large image plane, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the projection lens. More specifically, 23.71 < d1 / (IHx / 2) / tan(FOVx / 2) < 32.08; 10.55 < d1 / (IHy / 2) / tan(FOVy / 2) < 14.27.
[0060] In some embodiments, the maximum field of view angle FOVx of the projection lens in the x direction and the aperture value Fno of the projection lens satisfy: 9° < FOVx / Fno < 11°; the maximum field of view angle FOVy of the projection lens in the y direction and the aperture value Fno of the projection lens satisfy: 13° < FOVy / Fno < 14°. Meeting the above ranges defines that the projection lens has appropriate field of view angles and aperture values, and can maintain an appropriate brightness of the projection screen while meeting the projection screen size, facilitating the human eye to clearly obtain the detailed information of the projection screen. More specifically, 9.85° < FOVx / Fno < 10.04°; 13.21° < FOVy / Fno < 13.45°.
[0061] In some embodiments, the effective focal length fx of the projection lens in the x direction and the effective focal length fy of the projection lens in the y direction satisfy: 0.75 < fx / fy < 0.79. Meeting the above range sets the effective focal length in the sagittal section direction (y direction) of the projection lens to be greater than the effective focal length in the meridional section direction (x direction), realizing different magnification ratios in the sagittal and meridional directions, and further obtaining appropriate size ratios in the sagittal and meridional directions on the projection plane to meet the usage requirements of the projection target area.
[0062] In some embodiments, the diagonal maximum field of view angle DFOV of the projection lens and the aperture value Fno of the projection lens satisfy: 15° < DFOV / Fno < 18°. Defining that the projection lens has appropriate field of view angles and aperture values can maintain an appropriate brightness of the projection screen while meeting the projection screen size, facilitating the human eye to clearly obtain the detailed information of the projection screen. More specifically, 16.48° < DFOV / Fno < 16.78°.
[0063] In some embodiments, the focal length f3 of the third lens and the effective focal length fx of the projection lens in the x direction satisfy: 2.1 < f3 / fx < 2.8; the radius of curvature R5 of the projection side surface of the third lens and the effective focal length fx of the projection lens in the x direction satisfy: 1.3 < R5 / fx < 2; the radius of curvature R6 of the image source side surface of the third lens and the effective focal length fx of the projection lens in the x direction satisfy: 4 < R6 / fx < 35; the focal length f3 of the third lens and the effective focal length fy of the projection lens in the y direction satisfy: 1.6 < f3 / fy < 2.2; the radius of curvature R5 of the projection side surface of the third lens and the effective focal length fy of the projection lens in the y direction satisfy: 1 < R5 / fy < 1.5; the radius of curvature R6 of the image source side surface of the third lens and the effective focal length fy of the projection lens in the y direction satisfy: 3.1 < R6 / fy < 26.8. Meeting the above ranges can make the third lens have appropriate positive optical power and surface shape, effectively balance lens aberrations, and improve projection quality. More specifically, 2.3 < f3 / fx < 2.57; 1.43 < R5 / fx < 1.81; 4.48 < R6 / fx < 31.92; 1.79 < f3 / fy < 2; 1.11 < R5 / fy < 1.38; 3.47 < R6 / fy < 24.44.
[0064] In some embodiments, the focal length f6 of the sixth lens and the effective focal length fx of the projection lens in the x direction satisfy: -2.3 < f6 / fx < -1.4; the radius of curvature R11 of the projection side surface of the sixth lens and the effective focal length fx of the projection lens in the x direction satisfy: -3 < R11 / fx < -1.9; the radius of curvature R12 of the image source side surface of the sixth lens and the effective focal length fx of the projection lens in the x direction satisfy: 3.1 < R12 / fx < 5; the focal length f6 of the sixth lens and the effective focal length fy of the projection lens in the y direction satisfy: -1.7 < f6 / fy < -1.1; the radius of curvature R11 of the projection side surface of the sixth lens and the effective focal length fy of the projection lens in the y direction satisfy: -2.3 < R11 / fy < -1.5; the radius of curvature R12 of the image source side surface of the sixth lens and the effective focal length fy of the projection lens in the y direction satisfy: 2.5 < R12 / fy < 3.9. Meeting the above ranges can make the sixth lens have appropriate negative optical power and surface shape, which is beneficial to the smooth transition of light, and at the same time correct various aberrations of the projection lens, improving the projection quality of the projection lens. More specifically, -2.07 < f6 / fx < -1.56; -2.74 < R11 / fx < -2.07; 3.46 < R12 / fx < 4.62; -1.58 < f6 / fy < -1.21; -2.1 < R11 / fy < -1.61; 2.69 < R12 / fy < 3.57.

Meeting the above ranges, the sixth lens has a double concave shape, which is beneficial to the divergence of light rays, increasing the imaging area while achieving a large field of view. More specifically, -0.38 < (R11 + R12) / (R11 - R12) < -0.24; -0.61 < R11 / R12 < -0.45.

More specifically, 12.61 mm < fx < 12.77 mm, 6.35 mm < EPDx < 6.44 mm, 0.73° < CRAx < 0.86°, 4.58 mm < IHx < 4.61 mm, 19.57° < FOVx < 19.9°; 16.22 mm < fy < 16.54 mm, 8.18 mm < EPDy < 8.34 mm, 1.16° < CRAy < 1.31°, 7.62 mm < IHy < 7.65 mm, 26.24° < FOVy < 26.67°; 81.63 mm < TTL < 90 mm, 1.97 < Fno < 2, XXXX mm < BFL < 30.04 mm, 32.74° < DFOV < 33.28°.

[0071] 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 aberrations in the optical system, thereby reducing the number and size of lenses and achieving better lens miniaturization. More specifically, in the projection lens provided by the present invention, the fifth and eighth lenses may be aspherical lenses, while the first, second, third, fourth, sixth, and seventh lenses may be spherical lenses.
