[0050] The optical lens of this embodiment of the invention has eight lenses with optical power, arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the object side to the imaging plane as follows: first lens, second lens, third lens, fourth lens, fifth lens, sixth lens, seventh lens, and eighth lens.
[0051] In some embodiments, the first lens may have negative optical power, with a concave object-side surface and a convex image-side surface. The second lens may have negative optical power, with a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface. The third lens may have negative optical power, with a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface. The fourth lens may have positive optical power, with a convex object-side surface and a convex image-side surface. The fifth lens may have positive optical power, with a concave object-side surface and a convex image-side surface. The sixth lens may have negative optical power, with a concave object-side surface and a concave image-side surface. The seventh lens may have positive optical power, with a convex object-side surface and a convex image-side surface. The eighth lens may have negative optical power, with a concave object-side surface and a concave image-side surface.
[0052] In some embodiments, the optical lens may further 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 to change the brightness of the image.
[0053] In some embodiments, the optical lens may further include a filter disposed between the eighth lens and the imaging surface. The filter is used to filter out interfering light and prevent it from reaching the imaging surface of the optical lens and affecting normal imaging.
[0054] In some embodiments, the fifth lens and the sixth lens can be cemented together to form a cemented lens, which can effectively correct the 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.
[0055] In some embodiments, the radius of curvature R9 of the object side surface of the fifth lens and the radius of curvature R10 of the image side surface of the fifth lens satisfy: 7.2 < R9 / R10 < 16. The surface shape of the fifth lens that meets the above conditions can balance the aberration generated by the front group of lenses and avoid deterioration of the edge image quality.
[0056] In some embodiments, the radius of curvature R1 of the object side surface of the first lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -1 < R1 / f < -0.8; the radius of curvature R2 of the image side surface of the first lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -1.3 < R2 / f < -1.1. The first lens is a meniscus negative lens. By reasonably configuring the ratio of the radius of curvature of the object side surface and the image side surface of the first lens to the effective focal length of the optical lens, the first lens can collect as much light as possible with a large field angle and make the light enter the subsequent system smoothly, increasing the light passing amount of the optical lens and effectively expanding the field angle range of the optical lens.
[0057] In some embodiments, 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: -9.5 < R9 / f < -4. Meeting the above conditions, the fifth lens can cooperate with the negative lens in the front group to better correct chromatic aberration. In addition, the fifth lens can also reduce the height and angle of the light entering the subsequent lens.
[0058] In some embodiments, the central thickness CT1 of the first lens and the central thickness CT2 of the second lens satisfy: 2 < CT1 / CT2 < 2.6. Reasonably configuring the ratio of the thickness of the first lens on the optical axis to the thickness of the second lens on the optical axis can enable mutual regulation and maintain the characteristic of miniaturization of the optical system.
[0059] In some embodiments, the focal length f1 of the first lens and the focal length f2 of the second lens satisfy: 0.9 < f1 / f2 < 1.1. By reasonably setting the focal length ratio of the first lens and the second lens, the system length can be shortened, the aberration and distortion of the edge field can be reduced, the lens has less distortion, and a high-definition imaging effect can be provided.
[0060] In some embodiments, the overall optical length TTL of the optical lens and the overall optical length TTL of the optical lens satisfy: 2.8 < TTL / IH < 3.2. It can better achieve the miniaturization of the lens. At the same time, when ensuring the same overall length of the lens, it has a larger image plane and can match a larger-sized imaging chip to achieve high-definition imaging.
[0061] In some embodiments, the back focal length BFL of the optical lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.15 < BFL / f < 0.25. Meeting the above range is beneficial to achieving a balance between obtaining good imaging quality and easy assembly, ensuring the imaging quality of the optical lens while avoiding interference between the lens and other components and reducing the assembly process difficulty of the camera module.
[0062] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical 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: 50° < f×FOV / IH < 60°. Meeting the above conditional formula is beneficial to achieving the balance between the field angle of the optical lens and large target surface imaging by reasonably restricting the relationship between the focal length, field angle, and image height of the optical lens, and better meeting the usage requirements of high image quality shooting of the optical lens.
[0063] 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: 4.5mm < IH / Fno < 6.8mm. Meeting the above conditions can ensure that the optical lens has a large aperture while maintaining a large image plane of the optical lens, achieving the balance between a large image plane and a large aperture.
[0064] In some embodiments, the sagittal height SAG2 of the image side clear aperture radius, the sagittal height SAG1 of the object side clear aperture radius of the first lens, and the central thickness CT1 of the first lens satisfy: 0.1 < (SAG2 - SAG1) / CT1 < 0.2. Meeting the above conditions can limit the central depression degree of the first lens and reduce the difficulty of off-axis aberration correction in the marginal field.
[0065] In some embodiments, the combined focal length f13 of the first lens, the second lens, and the third lens and the combined focal length f48 of the fourth lens, the fifth lens, the sixth lens, the seventh lens, and the eighth lens satisfy: -4 < f13 / f48 < -3. Meeting the above range can reasonably distribute the proportion of the optical power of the lens groups before and after the aperture, increase the relative illumination of the lens, and improve the imaging quality of the lens.
[0066] In some embodiments, the combined focal length f13 of the first lens, the second lens, and the third lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -3 < f13 / f < -2.3. Meeting the above requirements can reduce the light deflection angle at the front end of the lens and reduce the generation of various off-axis aberrations by reasonably distributing the combined optical power of the first lens to the third lens.
[0067] In some embodiments, the combined focal length f48 of the fourth lens, the fifth lens, the sixth lens, the seventh lens, and the eighth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.65 < f48 / f < 0.8. Meeting the above requirements, by reasonably distributing the combined optical power of the fourth lens to the eighth lens, the focal length of the optical lens is balanced, the correction ability of various aberrations at the rear end of the lens is improved, and the imaging quality of the optical lens is enhanced.
[0068] In some embodiments, the combined focal length f56 of the fifth lens and the sixth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -1.7 < f56 / f < -1.2. Meeting the above conditions helps more light enter the cemented lens smoothly and helps improve the illuminance.
[0069] In some embodiments, the clear aperture semi-diameter d1 of the object side of the first lens and the clear aperture semi-diameter d16 of the image side of the eighth lens satisfy: 1.15 < d1 / d16 < 1.45. By reasonably setting the ratio of the apertures of the first and last lenses, the lens can have a smaller head size while having a larger imaging surface, which can better meet the balance of miniaturization and high pixels.
[0070] In some embodiments, the sagittal height SAG4 of the clear aperture semi-diameter of the image side of the second lens, the sagittal height SAG3 of the clear aperture semi-diameter of the object side of the second lens, and the central thickness CT2 of the second lens satisfy: 0 < (SAG4 - SAG3) / CT2 < 0.1. Meeting the above conditions can limit the degree of central depression of the second lens and reduce the difficulty of aberration correction in the peripheral field of view.
[0071] In some embodiments, the sagittal height SAG16 of the clear aperture semi-diameter of the image side of the eighth lens, the sagittal height SAG15 of the clear aperture semi-diameter of the object side of the eighth lens, and the central thickness CT8 of the eighth lens satisfy: 0.8 < (SAG16 - SAG15) / CT8 < 1.1. Meeting the above conditions, by controlling the relationship between the difference in sagittal height 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 in the off-axis field of view and improve the imaging quality of the off-axis field of view of the optical lens.
[0072] 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 conditions can effectively limit the length of the lens and is beneficial to the miniaturization of the optical lens.
[0073] In some embodiments, the maximum field of view FOV of the optical lens and the f-number Fno of the optical lens satisfy: 25° < FOV / Fno < 35°. Meeting the above conditions is beneficial to increasing the light input of the lens and enabling the lens to achieve high-definition imaging in a dim environment.
[0074] 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: 1.3 < IH / EPD < 1.7. Meeting the above range enables the optical lens to satisfy a large image plane while also ensuring sufficient image plane brightness in the peripheral field of view, preventing vignetting, and thus improving the imaging quality.
[0075] 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: 0.8 < IH / f < 0.95. Meeting the above conditions can achieve a larger field angle and imaging range, and can achieve the characteristics of a large image plane while ensuring the depth of field of the optical lens, thus improving the imaging quality of the optical system.
[0076] In some embodiments, the overall optical length TTL of the optical 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: 0 < TTL / IH / FOV < 0.1 / °. Meeting the above range can achieve a balance among large image height, long focal length, and miniaturization, and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens.
[0077] In some embodiments, the overall optical length TTL of the optical lens and the sum ΣCT of the central thicknesses of the first lens to the eighth lens along the optical axis satisfy: 0.65 < ΣCT / TTL < 0.8. Meeting the above conditions can effectively compress the overall length of the optical lens, and is conducive to the structural design and production process of the optical lens.
[0078] 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: 1.1 < D1 / IH / tan(FOV / 2) < 1.4. Meeting the above range can ensure the balance among the size, field angle, and image plane of the optical lens.
[0079] In some embodiments, the back focal length BFL of the optical lens and the overall optical length TTL of the optical lens satisfy: 0 < BFL / TTL < 0.1. Reasonably configuring the ratio of the back focal length of the optical lens to the overall optical length of the optical lens is conducive to achieving a short back focus of the optical lens, and is conducive to the miniaturization of the optical lens while ensuring sufficient space for the installation and focusing of optical elements.
[0080] In some embodiments, the focal length f1 of the first lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -10 < f1 / f < -8. Meeting the above range can allow a large range of light to enter the optical lens, obtain more picture information, and is helpful for controlling lens distortion and reducing field curvature, and improving the geometric accuracy of the imaging plane.
[0081] In some embodiments, the focal length f2 of the second lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -10 < f2 / f < -8. Meeting the above conditions, the second lens uses a negative focal lens with a relatively weak refractive power, which can avoid introducing too strong light deflection, thereby better controlling other aberrations (such as spherical aberration and coma).
[0082] In some embodiments, the focal length f3 of the third lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -10 < f3 / f < -8. Meeting the above conditions can control the light path direction, provide a more reasonable light incident angle for the subsequent lenses, improve the relative illumination uniformity, and enhance the imaging quality.
[0083] In some embodiments, the focal length f4 of the fourth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.8 < f4 / f < 1. The fourth lens meeting the above conditions can balance the optical power, control the back focus shift at high and low temperatures, and avoid defocusing.
[0084] In some embodiments, the focal length f5 of the fifth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.9 < f5 / f < 1.1; the focal length f6 of the sixth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -0.7 < f6 / f < -0.55. The fifth lens and the sixth lens are glued to form a doublet lens. The fifth lens and the sixth lens can have opposite optical powers, so that various aberrations of the optical lens are fully corrected, the resolution can be improved, and high resolution can be achieved. At the same time, the use of the glued part is beneficial to reducing the tolerance sensitivity of the lens to tilt / eccentricity, etc. during the assembly process, improving the resolution stability, and further enhancing the system performance.
[0085] In some embodiments, the focal length f7 of the seventh lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.7 < f7 / f < 0.95. The seventh lens uses a positive optical power, which can further focus the light, optimize the imaging quality, and correct the remaining aberrations (such as distortion, chromatic aberration, etc.), thereby ensuring the imaging clarity and color reproduction.
[0086] In some embodiments, the focal length f8 of the eighth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -0.8 < f8 / f < -0.6. Meeting the above conditions, the effective focal length value of the eighth lens is relatively small, and the light divergence effect is good, which can further increase the light transmission while ensuring high imaging quality.
[0087] In some embodiments, the focal length f3 of the third lens and the focal length f4 of the fourth lens satisfy: -12 < f3 / f4 < -9. Meeting the above conditions, by reasonably setting the focal lengths of the third and fourth lenses, the convergence of light can be better achieved, the distance for light to enter the next lens can be shortened, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the optical lens.
[0088] In some embodiments, the focal length f7 of the seventh lens and the focal length f8 of the eighth lens satisfy: -1.35 < f7 / f8 < -1.1. By reasonably setting the focal length ratio of the first and last lenses, the lens can have a smaller head size while having a larger imaging surface, better meeting the balance of miniaturization and high pixels.
[0089] In some embodiments, the central thickness CT7 of the seventh lens and the central thickness CT8 of the eighth lens satisfy: 2.2 < CT7 / CT8 < 3.8. Meeting the above conditions can reduce the sensitivity of system performance, while ensuring the lens processing performance and assembly stability, and improving the assembly yield rate.
[0090] In some embodiments, the curvature radius R7 of the object side surface of the fourth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.85 < R7 / f < 1.2. Meeting the above range can make the fourth lens have an appropriate surface shape, which is beneficial to balancing the astigmatism and field curvature of the optical lens and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.
[0091] In some embodiments, the curvature radius R15 of the object side surface of the eighth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -1.5 < R15 / f < -0.8. Meeting the above conditions is beneficial to alleviating the degree of light deflection passing through the lens and can effectively reduce aberration.
[0092] 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: -1.3 < R15 / R16 < -0.65. Meeting the above conditions, by reasonably setting the surface shape of the eighth lens, the incident light can be effectively diverged, increasing the height of the light reaching the imaging surface, which is beneficial to achieving large target surface imaging of the lens.
[0093] In some embodiments, the curvature radius R9 of the object side surface of the fifth lens and the curvature radius R10 of the image side surface of the fifth lens satisfy: 0.7 < (R9 - R10) / (R9 + R10) < 0.95. By making the optical system satisfy the above relational expression, it is beneficial to reasonably configure the ratio of the curvature radii of the object side surface and the image side surface of the fifth lens, control the shape of the fifth lens, comprehensively balance the spherical aberration, chromatic aberration and field curvature of the optical system, reduce the risk of ghosting, improve the resolution ability of the optical system, and at the same time, it is also beneficial to reducing the processing difficulty of the fifth lens.
[0094] 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: -6.5 < (R15 - R16) / (R15 + R16) < -16. Meeting the above range is beneficial to suppressing the angle of the marginal field of view incident on the imaging surface, effectively transmitting more light beams to the imaging surface, and at the same time balancing the field curvature and spherical aberration of the optical lens, improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.
[0095] In some embodiments, the optical lens satisfies the conditional formula: 10mm < f < 12mm, 28mm < TTL < 31mm, 1.5 < Fno < 1.9, 28° < CRA < 32°, 45° < FOV < 55°, 9mm < IH < 10.5mm, where f represents the effective focal length of the optical lens, TTL represents the overall optical length of the optical lens, Fno represents the aperture value of the optical lens, CRA represents the principal ray incident angle at the maximum image height of the optical lens, FOV represents the maximum field angle of the optical lens, and IH represents the 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 long focal length characteristic, can ensure the telephoto effect of the optical lens, enable the system to have a large magnification ratio, and have good imaging quality for scenes within a relatively far field of view; has a suitable field angle and can clearly capture distant targets; has a large image plane, is adapted to a large target surface sensor, and improves the imaging quality; has a large aperture, further improves the light input of the lens, and can ensure the clarity of the image even in low light environments or at night.
[0096] 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. 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.
[0097] 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, the second lens, and the eighth lens of the present invention adopt aspherical lenses; the third lens, the fourth lens, the fifth lens, the sixth lens, and the seventh lens adopt spherical lenses.
[0098] In various embodiments of the present invention, when the lens adopts an aspherical lens, the surface shapes of the aspherical surfaces of the optical lens satisfy the following equation:

[0122] In this embodiment, the field curvature curve, axial aberration curve, transverse chromatic aberration curve, and MTF curve of the optical lens 100 are respectively as follows: Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 2 As shown.
[0123] Figure 3 The field curvature curve of Example 1 is shown, which represents the degree of curvature of light of different wavelengths in the meridional and sagittal image planes. The horizontal axis represents the offset (unit: mm), and the vertical axis represents the half field of view (unit: °). As can be seen from the figure, the field curvature of the meridional and sagittal image planes is controlled within -0.04 mm to 0.02 mm, indicating that the optical lens can effectively correct the field curvature.
[0124] Figure 4 The axial aberration curve of Example 1 is shown, which represents the aberration of each wavelength on the optical axis at the imaging plane. The horizontal axis represents the axial aberration value (unit: mm), and the vertical axis represents the normalized pupil radius. As can be seen from the figure, the axial aberration offset is controlled within -0.03 mm to 0.02 mm, indicating that the optical lens can correct axial aberration well.
[0125] Figure 5 The diagram shows the transverse chromatic aberration curves for Example 1, representing the chromatic aberration of each wavelength relative to the center wavelength (0.546 μm) at different image heights on the imaging plane. The horizontal axis represents the transverse chromatic aberration value of each wavelength relative to the center wavelength (unit: μm), and the vertical axis represents the normalized field of view. As can be seen from the diagram, the transverse chromatic aberration of the longest and shortest wavelengths is controlled within ±1 μm, indicating that the optical lens can effectively correct chromatic aberration.
[0126] Figure 6 The MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) curve of Example 1 is shown, which represents the lens imaging modulation at different spatial frequencies in various fields of view. The horizontal axis represents spatial frequency (unit: lp / mm), and the vertical axis represents MTF value. As can be seen from the figure, the MTF value of this example is above 0.48 throughout the entire field of view. Within the range of 0–120 lp / mm, the MTF curve decreases smoothly and evenly from the center to the edge of the field of view, exhibiting good imaging quality and good detail resolution at both low and high frequencies.
