Description

Technical Field

[0002] The periscope telephoto lens is a special optical design, mainly used to enhance the zoom capability of electronic mobile devices, greatly improving the user's photography experience. Among them, the general periscope telephoto lens adopts a design of 5P or above, and the dual-pass periscope telephoto lens is designed with a lens of 6P or above.

In addition, the large difference in refractive index between infrared and visible light materials makes it difficult to simultaneously correct aberrations under the lens, especially chromatic aberration and field of view. Not only can this fail to ensure the requirements of high image quality and low distortion, but it also does not meet the development trend of today's electronic products, which are characterized by high functionality and a thin and light appearance.

The aperture 5 is used to control the amount of light passing through the lens. The first lens 1 has positive refractive power, and the second lens 2, the third lens 3, and the fourth lens 4 all have negative refractive power. The positive and negative refractive powers cause the incident light to diffuse outward, expand the field of view, reduce distortion, and thereby optimize the optical performance of the entire system. The object-side surface of the first lens 1 is convex at the paraxial position, the object-side surface of the second lens 2 is convex, the image-side surface of the third lens 3 is concave, and the image-side surface of the fourth lens 4 is convex.

The lenses are molded entirely of plastic to reduce the overall weight, which meets the current requirements of light-weight cameras for electronic products. In addition, the price of plastic lenses is lower than that of glass lenses, which can also reduce production costs, which is in line with the current development trend of electronic products with excellent functions and light, thin and short appearance.

[0027] In some embodiments, the ratio of the air gap on the optical axis from the image side surface of the second lens 2 to the object side surface of the third lens 3 to the sum of the air gaps between adjacent lenses from the first lens 1 to the third lens 3 is within the following range: 0.496 <T23 / AAT<0.588。

[0028] In some embodiments, the ratio of the effective focal length of the lens to the effective focal length of the fourth lens 4 is within the following range: -1.920 <efl / f4<-1.861。

[0029] In some embodiments, the ratio of the focal length of the entire optical imaging system to the focal length of the combination of the third lens 3 and the fourth lens 4 is within the following range: -0.348 <f / f34<-0.341。

[0030] In some embodiments, the ratio of the maximum effective diameter of the object surface of the first lens 1 to the maximum effective radius of the image side surface of the third lens 3 is within the following range: 3.603 <ca11 / sd36<3.61。
