[0057] 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.
[0058] The optical lens provided in this embodiment of the invention consists of seven lenses, which are arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the object side to the imaging plane as a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, and a seventh lens.
[0059] The first lens may have positive optical power, with a concave object-side surface and a convex image-side surface. The second lens may have positive optical power, with both its object-side and image-side surfaces being either concave or convex. The third lens may have negative optical power, with both its object-side and image-side surfaces being either concave or convex. The fourth lens may have positive optical power, with both its object-side and image-side surfaces being convex. The fifth lens may have negative optical power, with both its object-side and image-side surfaces being either concave or convex. The sixth lens may have positive optical power, with both its object-side and image-side surfaces being either concave or convex. The seventh lens may have negative optical power, with both its object-side and image-side surfaces being either concave or convex.
[0060] In some embodiments, the optical lens may also include an aperture stop, which may be located between the third and fourth lenses. It is understood that the aperture stop is used to limit the amount of light entering the lens, thereby changing the brightness of the image. Furthermore, when the aperture stop is located between the third and fourth lenses, it can rationally allocate the functions of the first to seventh lenses. For example, the first, second, and third lenses can be used to receive light to a greater extent, while the fourth to seventh lenses can be used to correct aberrations, which is beneficial for balancing the overall structure of the optical system. In addition, when the aperture stop is located between the third and fourth lenses, it facilitates the correction of aperture aberrations.
[0061] In some embodiments, the optical lens may further include a filter and a protective glass, which are sequentially disposed between the seventh lens and the imaging plane along the optical axis. The filter is used to filter out interfering light, preventing it from reaching the imaging plane of the optical lens and affecting normal imaging. The protective glass protects the optical lens, preventing damage to the image sensor, and improves the lens's shock and scratch resistance, while having almost no impact on the image quality.
[0062] In some embodiments, the fourth and fifth lenses can be cemented together to form a cemented lens, which can effectively correct chromatic aberration of the optical lens, reduce the eccentricity sensitivity of the optical lens, balance the aberrations 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.
[0063] In some embodiments, the radius of curvature R1 of the object side surface of the first lens and the radius of curvature R2 of the image side surface of the first lens satisfy: |(R1 - R2) / (R1 + R2)| < 0.6. Meeting the above range, using a meniscus lens for the first lens can further control the smoothness of the light path, make the light more concentrated, further control the light direction, reduce the back focal length, improve the imaging quality, increase the light utilization rate, and at the same time reduce the spherical aberration of the optical lens, thereby improving the imaging quality of the optical lens. More specifically, -0.03 < (R1 - R2) / (R1 + R2) < 0.53.
[0064] In some embodiments, the overall optical length TTL of the optical lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 2.3 < TTL / f < 3. Meeting the above range can effectively limit the length of the lens, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the optical lens. More specifically, 2.54 < TTL / f < 2.81.
[0065] In some embodiments, the overall optical length TTL of the optical lens and the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens satisfy: 4 < TTL / IH < 5. Meeting the above range ensures that, with the same overall length of the lens, it has a larger image plane, can match a larger-sized imaging chip to achieve high-definition imaging, and better achieves the balance between a small overall length and a large image plane of the lens. More specifically, 4.46 < TTL / IH < 4.75.
[0066] In some embodiments, the maximum field angle FOV of the optical lens and the f-number Fno of the optical lens satisfy: 17° < FOV / Fno < 18°. Meeting the above range limits the optical lens to have an appropriate field angle and f-number, can collect light at a large angle, and obtain good imaging quality. More specifically, 17.77° < FOV / Fno < 17.9°.
[0067] In some embodiments, the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens and the entrance pupil diameter EPD of the optical lens satisfy: 0.9 < IH / EPD < 1.2. Meeting the above range can increase the width of the light beam entering the optical lens, improve the brightness at the image plane of the optical lens, and avoid the generation of vignetting. More specifically, 0.99 < IH / EPD < 1.13.
[0068] In some embodiments, the clear aperture radius d1 of the object side surface of the first lens, the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens, and the maximum field angle FOV of the optical lens satisfy: 5.5 < d1 / (IH / 2) / tan(FOV / 2) < 8. Satisfying the above range can achieve a small front aperture while meeting the requirements of a large field angle and a large image plane for the optical lens. More specifically, 5.95 < d1 / (IH / 2) / tan(FOV / 2) < 7.71.
[0069] In some embodiments, the combined focal length f4567 of the fourth lens, the fifth lens, the sixth lens, and the seventh lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.5 < f4567 / f < 1.6. Satisfying the above range is beneficial to balancing various aberrations of the system and improving the overall imaging quality by reasonably setting the focal length of the lens group behind the aperture stop. More specifically, 0.55 < f4567 / f < 1.53.
[0070] In some embodiments, the focal length f1 of the first lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 3.8 < f1 / f < 60; the curvature radius R1 of the object side surface of the first lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -8 < R1 / f < -1.2; the curvature radius R2 of the image side surface of the first lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -3 < R2 / f < -1.2. Satisfying the above range, by setting the first lens to have a positive refractive power, it has the effect of converging light rays, reducing the height of peripheral light rays, which is beneficial to reducing the aperture of the rear lens. More specifically, 4.11 < f1 / f < 57.19; -7.51 < R1 / f < -1.28; -2.89 < R2 / f < -1.26.
[0071] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f2 of the second lens satisfy: 1.2 < f2 / f < 9.5. Satisfying the above range limits the second lens to have an appropriate positive optical power, further converging light rays, and being able to share the positive optical power at the front end of the optical lens, thus being beneficial to avoiding excessive light ray deflection caused by overly concentrated optical power of the first lens and reducing the difficulty of aberration correction. More specifically, 1.28 < f2 / f < 8.94.
[0072] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f3 of the third lens satisfy: -19 < f3 / f < -0.6; the curvature radius R5 of the object side surface of the third lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -2.9 < R5 / f < -0.6. Satisfying the above range makes the third lens have a negative optical power and the object side surface is concave, having the effect of diverging light rays, being able to disperse the central light rays and marginal light rays of each field, and being able to correct the aberrations generated by the front lens. More specifically, -18.01 < f3 / f < -0.66; -2.64 < R5 / f < -0.67.
[0073] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f4 of the fourth lens satisfy: 0.4 < f4 / f < 0.8; the radius of curvature R7 of the object side surface of the fourth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.5 < R7 / f < 0.8; the radius of curvature R8 of the image side surface of the fourth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -1.2 < R8 / f < -0.4; the radius of curvature R7 of the object side surface of the fourth lens and the radius of curvature R8 of the image side surface of the fourth lens satisfy: |(R7 + R8) / (R7 - R8)| < 0.4. Satisfying the above ranges defines that the fourth lens has an appropriate positive optical power and surface shape, and the light rays are further converged. And gluing the fourth lens with positive optical power and the fifth lens with negative optical power is beneficial for the light rays to enter the rear lens gently, can adjust the optical path difference between different fields of view, and improve the resolution. More specifically, 0.44 < f4 / f < 0.78; 0.53 < R7 / f < 0.73; -1.13 < R8 / f < -0.4; -0.24 < (R7 + R8) / (R7 - R8) < 0.26.
[0074] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f5 of the fifth lens satisfy: -1.9 < f5 / f < -0.9; the radius of curvature R9 of the object side surface of the fifth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -1.2 < R9 / f < -0.4. Satisfying the above ranges defines that the fifth lens has an appropriate negative optical power and the object side surface is concave, which can diverge the light rays emitted by the fourth lens, making the light rays in the edge field of view show an upward trend, beneficial for the image points on the imaging surface to be far from the optical axis, so as to be conducive to achieving the effect of matching with a large chip, obtaining a larger picture, effectively eliminating aberration, and improving the resolution ability of the optical lens. More specifically, -1.79 < f5 / f < -0.97; -1.13 < R9 / f < -0.4.
[0075] In some embodiments, the focal length f6 of the sixth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.5 < f6 / f < 3; the radius of curvature R11 of the object side surface of the sixth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.7 < R11 / f < 1.4. Satisfying the above ranges defines that the sixth lens has a positive optical power and the object side surface is convex, which is beneficial for the light rays to converge, 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 excessive main ray angle between the large field of view light rays and the chip when reaching the imaging surface, is beneficial for increasing the illuminance of the edge field of view, and is beneficial for achieving a short optical total length. More specifically, 0.59 < f6 / f < 2.78; 0.72 < R11 / f < 1.33.
[0076] In some embodiments, the focal length f7 of the seventh lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -1.2 < f7 / f < -0.4; the radius of curvature R13 of the object side surface of the seventh lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -0.9 < R13 / f < -0.4. 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, -1.13 < f7 / f < -0.48; -0.89 < R13 / f < -0.45.
[0077] In some embodiments, the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.5 < IH / f < 0.65. Meeting the above ranges and controlling the image height and focal length of the optical lens within a reasonable range contribute to the optical lens having the characteristic of a large image surface and improving the imaging quality. More specifically, 0.54 < IH / f < 0.6.
[0078] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the back focal length BFL of the optical lens satisfy: 0.24 < BFL / f < 0.39. Meeting the above ranges limits the optical lens to have an appropriate back focal length, facilitating the reasonable arrangement of the positions of each lens and reducing the processing and assembly difficulty at the same time.
[0079] In some embodiments, the overall 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 < 0.73. Meeting the above ranges can effectively compress the overall length of the optical lens and is conducive to the structural design and production process of the optical lens at the same time.
[0080] In some embodiments, the sum ∑CT of the central thicknesses of the first lens to the seventh lens along the optical axis and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 1.44 < ΣCT / f < 1.91. Meeting the above ranges can effectively correct the field curvature and distortion of the optical lens and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens.
[0081] In some embodiments, the optical lens satisfies the following conditional expressions: 12 mm < f < 15 mm; 6.5 mm < EPD < 8 mm; 33 mm < TTL < 37 mm; 1.7 < Fno < 2; 17° < CRA < 26°; 3.4 mm < BFL < 5.2 mm; 31° < FOV < 35°; 7.5 mm < IH < 8 mm. In the above conditional expressions, f represents the effective focal length 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, CRA represents the chief ray angle of incidence 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. Meeting the above ranges, the optical lens has at least one or more advantages such as a large image sensor format, a large aperture, and a long focal length characteristic. More specifically, 12.87 mm < f < 13.7 mm; 6.77 mm < EPD < 7.61 mm; 33.9 mm < TTL < 36.1 mm; 1.79 < Fno < 1.91; 17.54° < CRA < 21.37°; 3.43 mm < BFL < 5.15 mm; 31.9° < FOV < 34.1°; 7.59 mm < IH < 7.69 mm.
[0082] 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. Additionally, 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.
[0083] 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 achieving 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.
[0084] 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, refer to the parameter tables of each embodiment.
