[0064] In some embodiments, the central thickness CT4 of the fourth lens and the edge thickness ET4 of the fourth lens satisfy: 1.2 < CT4 / ET4 < 1.4. Meeting the above conditions, by controlling the ratio of the thickness of the fourth lens on the optical axis to the edge thickness, not only can the high-order aberrations generated by the optical lens be effectively balanced, but it is also beneficial to the field curvature adjustment of the fourth lens, thereby improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0065] In some embodiments, the object-side curvature radius R1 of the first lens, the image-side curvature radius R2 of the first lens, and the central thickness CT1 of the first lens satisfy: 3.5 < R1 / (R2 + CT1) < 4.3.

Meeting the above range enables the optical lens to meet the large image surface while also ensuring sufficient image surface brightness in the marginal field of view, preventing the occurrence of vignetting, and thus improving the imaging quality.

[0068] 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: 55° < (f × FOV) / IH < 65°. Meeting the above conditional formula, by reasonably restricting the relationship between the focal length, field angle, and image height of the optical lens, it is beneficial to achieve the balance of the large field angle and large target surface imaging of the optical lens, and better meet the usage requirements of vehicle-mounted surround-view cameras.

[0069] 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: 3 < IH / f < 3.6. Meeting the above conditions can achieve an ultra-large field angle and imaging range, and can achieve the characteristics of a large image surface while ensuring the depth of field of the optical lens, thereby improving the imaging quality of the optical system.

[0070] 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: 2.6 < TTL / IH < 2.9. 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-sized imaging chip to achieve high-definition imaging.

[0071] In some embodiments, the focal length f1 of the first lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -2.5 < f1 / f < -1.9.

[0072] In some embodiments, the focal length f2 of the second lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -3.8 < f2 / f < -3.4. Meeting the above conditions, the second lens also uses a negative lens, which can further diverge light and increase the field angle of the imaging system.

[0073] In some embodiments, the focal length f4 of the fourth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 1.8 < f4 / f < 1.9. Meeting the above conditions, the fourth lens converges the incident light at the front end, which is beneficial to correcting the aberration brought by the front lens group and the distortion of the edge field of view, making the lens have less distortion and providing a high-definition imaging effect.

[0074] In some embodiments, the focal length f6 of the sixth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 2.3 < f6 / f < 2.7.

Meeting the above conditions, the seventh lens has an appropriate negative focal length, which is beneficial to further increasing the imaging area of the optical lens and at the same time balancing various aberrations generated by the front group of lenses, improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0076] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f8 of the eighth lens satisfy: 1.5 < f8 / f < 1.7. Meeting the above conditions for the eighth lens helps to reasonably collect light, ensure the light passing amount, improve the relative illumination, and enhance the brightness of the optical lens at the image plane.

[0077] In some embodiments, the maximum field of view (FOV) of the optical lens and the true image height (IH) corresponding to the maximum field of view of the optical lens satisfy: 30° / mm < FOV / IH < 32° / mm. Meeting the above conditions can ensure that the optical lens has a large field of view characteristic while meeting the image height requirement, thereby enabling the optical lens to have good optical performance and capturing details of the photographed object well.

[0078] In some embodiments, the true image height (IH) corresponding to the maximum field of view of the optical lens and the f-number (Fno) of the optical lens satisfy: 3.2mm < IH / Fno < 3.6mm.

[0079] In some embodiments, the maximum field of view (FOV) of the optical lens and the f-number (Fno) of the optical lens satisfy: 105° < FOV / Fno < 110°. Meeting the above conditions is conducive to expanding the field of view of the optical lens and increasing the aperture of the optical lens, achieving the characteristics of an ultra-wide angle and a large aperture for the lens. The realization of the ultra-wide angle characteristic is beneficial for the optical lens to obtain more scene information and meet the requirements of large-range detection. The realization of the large aperture characteristic is beneficial for improving the problem of rapid decline in relative brightness of the edge field of view caused by the wide angle, and thus is also beneficial for obtaining more scene information.

[0084] In some embodiments, the radius of curvature R12 of the image side surface of the sixth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0 < R12 / f < 0.15. Satisfying the above range can diverge the light rays emitted by the fifth lens, making the light rays in the edge field of view show an upward trend, which is beneficial to the image points on the imaging surface moving away from the optical axis, so as to be beneficial 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.

[0085] In some embodiments, the radius of curvature R16 of the image side surface of the eighth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -1.5 < R16 / f < -1. Satisfying the above range and reasonably defining the shape of the image side surface of the eighth lens can control the eighth lens to have an appropriate surface shape, which helps to control the light ray trend in the edge field of view and improve the imaging quality of the edge field of view.

[0087] In some embodiments, the total optical length TTL of the optical lens and the sum ∑CT of the central thicknesses of the first lens to the eighth lens along the optical axis satisfy: 0.55 < ∑CT / TTL < 0.65. Satisfying the above conditions can effectively compress the total length of the optical lens, and at the same time is beneficial to the structural design and production process of the optical lens.

[0088] In some embodiments, the spacing CT56 between the fifth lens and the sixth lens on the optical axis, the spacing CT67 between the sixth lens and the seventh lens on the optical axis, the spacing CT78 between the seventh lens and the eighth lens on the optical axis, and the central thickness CT6 of the sixth lens satisfy: 0.45 < (CT56 + CT67 + C78) / CT6 < 0.65. Satisfying the above conditions and reasonably arranging the sizes of the gaps between the fifth lens, the sixth lens, the seventh lens and the eighth lens and the central thickness of the sixth lens is beneficial to realizing the miniaturization characteristics of the system.

[0089] In some embodiments, the central thickness CT3 of the third lens and the edge thickness ET3 of the third lens satisfy: 0.6 < CT3 / ET3 < 1. Meeting the above conditions, by controlling the ratio relationship between the thickness of the third lens on the optical axis and the edge thickness, it is beneficial to balance the aberration generated by the lens itself.

[0090] In some embodiments, the object-side clear aperture sagittal height SAG71 of the seventh lens, the image-side clear aperture sagittal height SAG72 of the seventh lens, and the central thickness CT7 of the seventh lens satisfy: 1.5 < (SAG72 - SAG71) / CT7 < 2.2. Meeting the above conditions can control the surface shape of the object side of the seventh lens, which is beneficial to the manufacture and shaping of the seventh lens, reducing the defective rate. In addition, it can also avoid the surface shape being too curved and complex, making the system field curvature tend to be balanced.

[0091] In some embodiments, the object-side clear aperture sagittal height SAG81 of the eighth lens, the image-side clear aperture sagittal height SAG82 of the eighth lens, and the central thickness CT8 of the eighth lens satisfy: -0.7 < (SAG82 - SAG81) / CT8 < -0.6. Meeting the above conditions, by controlling the relationship between the sagittal height difference between the image side and the object side of the eighth lens and the central thickness of the eighth lens, it is beneficial to correct the coma of the off-axis field, and is beneficial to improving the imaging quality of the off-axis field of the optical lens.

[0092] In some embodiments, the object-side clear aperture DM11 of the first lens and the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens satisfy: 0.7 < DM11 / IH < 0.9. Meeting the above range can ensure the balance between the front port diameter and the image plane size of the optical lens.

[0093] In some embodiments, the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens, the effective focal length f of the optical lens, and the radian value θ of the maximum half-field angle of the optical lens satisfy: 0.92 < (IH / 2) / (f×θ) < 0.96. Meeting the above conditions can better achieve small distortion and is more beneficial to achieving high resolution.

[0094] In some embodiments, the optical lens satisfies the conditional formula: 17 mm < TTL < 19 mm, 1.8 mm < f < 2.1 mm, 200° < FOV < 210°, 6.4 mm < IH < 6.7 mm, 1.8 < Fno < 2, where TTL represents the total optical length of the optical lens, f represents the effective focal length of the optical lens, FOV represents the maximum field angle of the optical lens, IH represents the image height corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens, and Fno represents the aperture value 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 relatively small total optical length; has the characteristics of short focal length and wide angle. The depth of field of a short focal length lens is relatively deep, and both the front and back of the subject can remain relatively clear; has an extremely large field angle, providing a wider shooting field of view for application scenarios such as vehicle-mounted surround-view lenses and capturing more image information; has a relatively large imaging surface, which can be matched with a larger-sized chip to achieve high-definition imaging; has a large aperture and can achieve high-definition imaging even in a complex light environment.

[0095] In some embodiments, the lens material in 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 first lens and the fourth lens in the optical lens provided by the present invention can adopt glass materials, and the second lens, the third lens, the fifth lens, the sixth lens, the seventh lens, and the eighth lens can adopt plastic materials.

[0096] In some embodiments, the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, the fifth lens, the sixth lens, the seventh lens, and the eighth 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 realizing the miniaturization of the lens. More specifically, the first lens and the fourth lens of the present invention adopt spherical lenses; the second lens, the third lens, the fifth lens, the sixth lens, the seventh lens, and the eighth lens adopt aspherical lenses.

[0097] In each embodiment of the present invention, when the lens adopts an aspherical lens, the shapes of the aspherical surfaces of the optical lens satisfy the following equations:

[0098] ;

[0099] Where z is the distance between the surface and the vertex of the surface in the direction of the optical axis, h is the distance from the optical axis to the surface, c is the curvature of the vertex of the surface, K is the quadratic surface coefficient, and B, C, D, E, F, G, and H are the fourth, sixth, eighth, tenth, twelfth, fourteenth, and sixteenth order surface coefficients, respectively.

In each embodiment, the thickness, radius of curvature, and material selection of each lens in the optical lens are different; for specific differences, please refer to the parameter tables of each embodiment.
