[0047] The optical lens of this invention has nine lenses with optical power, arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the object side to the imaging plane: first lens, second lens, third lens, fourth lens, fifth lens, sixth lens, seventh lens, eighth lens, and ninth lens.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first lens may have negative optical power, with a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface. The second lens may have negative optical power, with a concave object-side surface and a convex image-side surface. The third lens may have positive optical power, with a convex object-side surface and a convex image-side surface. The fourth lens may have either positive or negative optical power, with a concave object-side surface and a convex image-side surface. The fifth lens may have positive optical power, with a convex object-side surface and a convex image-side surface. The sixth lens may have negative optical power, with either a concave or convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface.

The eighth lens may have either positive or negative optical power, with either a concave or convex object-side surface and a convex image-side surface. The ninth lens may have negative optical power, with either a concave or convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface.

[0049] In some embodiments, the optical lens may also include an aperture stop, which may be located between the fourth and fifth lenses. It is understood that the aperture stop is used to limit the amount of light entering the lens, thereby altering the brightness of the image.

[0050] In some embodiments, the optical lens may further include a filter, which is disposed between the ninth lens and the imaging surface. The filter is used to filter out interfering light and prevent the interfering light from reaching the imaging surface of the optical lens and affecting normal imaging.

[0051] In some embodiments, the sixth lens and the seventh lens may be glued together to form a glued lens group with optical power, which can effectively correct the chromatic aberration of the optical lens, reduce the eccentricity sensitivity of the optical lens, balance the aberration 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. In some embodiments, the combined focal length f_glue1 of the sixth lens and the seventh lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 12 < |f_glue1 / f| < 150. More specifically, 12.35 < |f_glue1 / f| < 143.8.

[0052] 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: 2.6 < IH / f < 3.2. Satisfying the above range and controlling the image height and focal length of the optical lens within a reasonable range helps the optical lens to have the characteristic of a large image surface and improve the imaging quality. More specifically, 2.83 < IH / f < 3.

[0053] In some embodiments, the overall optical length TTL of the optical lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 5 < TTL / f < 6.5. Satisfying the above range can effectively limit the length of the lens and is beneficial to the miniaturization of the optical lens. More specifically, 5.12 < TTL / f < 5.97.

[0054] 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: 1.7 < TTL / IH < 2.1. Satisfying the above range ensures that the lens has a larger image surface under the same overall length, can match a larger-sized imaging chip to achieve high-definition imaging, and better realizes the balance between the small overall length and the large image surface of the lens. More specifically, 1.79 < TTL / IH < 2.01.

[0055] In some embodiments, the maximum field angle FOV of the optical lens and the f-number Fno of the optical lens satisfy: 65° < FOV / Fno < 75°. Satisfying the above range defines that the optical lens has a suitable field angle and f-number, can collect light at a large angle and obtain good imaging quality. More specifically, 70.3° < FOV / Fno < 70.5°.

[0056] 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: 6.5 < IH / EPD < 8. 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 vignetting. More specifically, 7.08 < IH / EPD < 7.47.

[0057] In some embodiments, the total 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: 7 < 180°×TTL / (IH / 2) / (FOV / 2) < 8.5. Meeting the above range can achieve a balance among the image height, focal length, and total optical length, and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens. More specifically, 7.35 < 180°×TTL / (IH / 2) / (FOV / 2) < 8.18.

[0058] 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: 55° < f×FOV / IH < 65°. Meeting the above conditional formula is conducive to achieving the balance between the field angle of the optical lens and large target plane imaging by reasonably restricting the relationship among 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. More specifically, 58.94° < f×FOV / IH < 62.08°.

[0059] In some embodiments, the half-aperture 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: 0.03 < d1 / (IH / 2) / tan(FOV / 2) < 0.06. Meeting the above range can ensure the balance among the size of the optical lens, the field angle, and the image plane.

[0060] 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: 0.9 < (IH / 2) / (f×θ) < 0.1. Meeting the above range can make the lens have a small distortion value and provide a high-definition imaging effect. More specifically, 0.91 < (IH / 2) / (f×θ) < 0.98.

[0061] In some embodiments, the focal length f1 of the first lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -2.1 < f1 / f < -1.3. Meeting the above range, the first lens has an appropriate negative focal length, which is conducive to expanding the field angle of the optical lens. More specifically, -2.02 < f1 / f < -1.45.

[0062] In some embodiments, the focal length f2 of the second lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -3.7 < f2 / f < -2. When within the above range, and the second lens also being a negative lens, it can further diverge light and increase the field angle of the imaging system. More specifically, -3.48 < f2 / f < -2.14.

[0063] In some embodiments, the focal length f3 of the third lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 1.4 < f3 / f < 2.3. When within the above range, the third lens appropriately converges the incident light at the front end, which is beneficial for correcting the aberrations and the distortion of the edge field brought by the first lens and the second lens, enabling the lens to have less distortion and providing a high-definition imaging effect. More specifically, 1.47 < f3 / f < 2.14.

[0064] In some embodiments, the focal length f4 of the fourth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 11 < |f4 / f| < 37. When within the above range, various aberrations of the optical lens can be fully corrected, the resolution can be improved, and high resolution can be achieved. More specifically, 11.62 < |f4 / f| < 36.66.

[0065] In some embodiments, the focal length f5 of the fifth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 1.4 < f5 / f < 1.9. When within the above range, it is beneficial for the smooth transition of light, facilitating the correction of astigmatism and field curvature, improving the imaging quality of the optical lens, and ensuring the stability of the optical system. More specifically, 1.52 < f5 / f < 1.77.

[0066] In some embodiments, the focal length f6 of the sixth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -1.4 < f6 / f < -1; the focal length f7 of the seventh lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 1.1 < f7 / f < 1.7. When within the above range, the cooperation of the sixth lens with negative optical power and the seventh lens with positive optical power can adjust the optical path difference between different fields, improve the resolution, be beneficial for the light to enter the rear lens smoothly, further reduce the field curvature, and correct the off-axis point aberrations of the optical lens. More specifically, -1.29 < f6 / f < -1.03; 1.19 < f7 / f < 1.6.

[0067] In some embodiments, the focal length f8 of the eighth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 4 < |f8 / f| < 360. When within the above range, various aberrations of the optical lens can be fully corrected, the resolution can be improved, and high resolution can be achieved. More specifically, 4.34 < |f8 / f| < 351.6.

[0068] In some embodiments, the focal length f9 of the ninth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -16 < f9 / f < -7.2. By setting the ninth lens to have a negative optical power, the incident light can be diverged to a large extent, causing the peripheral light and the central light to turn upward, reaching a higher imaging position, better achieving large-format imaging of the lens, and improving the imaging quality. More specifically, -15.82 < f9 / f < -7.81.

[0069] In some embodiments, the combined focal length fb of the lenses behind the aperture and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 1.5 < fb / f < 2.2; the focal length f5 of the fifth lens, the focal length f6 of the sixth lens, the focal length f7 of the seventh lens, the focal length f8 of the eighth lens, the focal length f9 of the ninth lens and the combined focal length fb of the lenses behind the aperture satisfy: -230 < (f5 + f6 + f7 + f8 + f9) / fb < -4.4. Satisfying the above ranges, by reasonably setting the focal lengths of the lens group behind the aperture, it is beneficial to balance various aberrations generated by the lens group in front of the aperture and improve the overall imaging quality. More specifically, 1.58 < fb / f < 2.06; -224.52 < (f5 + f6 + f7 + f8 + f9) / fb < -4.82.

[0070] In some embodiments, the focal length f6 of the sixth lens and the focal length f7 of the seventh lens satisfy: -1.1 < f6 / f7 < -0.65; the combined focal length fglue1 of the sixth lens and the seventh lens, the focal length f6 of the sixth lens and the focal length f7 of the seventh lens satisfy: -3300 < fglue1 / (f6 + f7) < -25. Satisfying the above ranges is beneficial to the smooth transition of light, improves the imaging quality of the optical lens, and ensures the stability of the optical system. More specifically, -1.05 < f6 / f7 < -0.7; -3247.19 < fglue1 / (f6 + f7) < -26.8.

[0071] In some embodiments, the minimum focal length f_pos_min among all the lenses with positive optical power and the maximum focal length f_neg_max among all the lenses with negative optical power satisfy: -1.5 < f_pos_min / f_neg_max < -0.9; the focal length f1 of the first lens and the maximum focal length f_neg_max among all the lenses with negative optical power satisfy: 1.2 < f1 / f_neg_max < 1.7; the focal length f9 of the ninth lens and the minimum focal length f_pos_min among all the lenses with positive optical power satisfy: -10.5 < f9 / f_pos_min < -6. It can be understood that f_pos_min is the smallest in value among all the lenses with positive optical power and has the greatest influence on the deflection of light rays; f_neg_max is the largest in value among all the lenses with negative optical power and has the greatest influence on the deflection of light rays. Meeting the above ranges makes the influence on the degree of light ray deflection close, which is beneficial to balancing the aberration of the optical lens. More specifically, -1.42 < f_pos_min / f_neg_max < -0.96; 1.28 < f1 / f_neg_max < 1.58; -9.95 < f9 / f_pos_min < -6.32.

[0072] In some embodiments, the focal length f1 of the first lens and the focal length f9 of the ninth lens satisfy: 0.05 < f1 / f9 < 0.3. Meeting the above range, by reasonably setting the focal length relationship between the first and last lenses in the lens, while ensuring that as many light rays as possible enter the system, the area of the light rays entering the imaging surface is increased, which is beneficial to achieving large image surface imaging of the lens, while increasing the light input and improving the relative illuminance of the system. More specifically, 0.08 < f1 / f9 < 0.27.

[0073] In some embodiments, the focal length f4 of the fourth lens and the focal length f5 of the fifth lens satisfy: 6.5 < |f4 / f5| < 25. Meeting the above range, by reasonably setting the focal length relationship between the lenses before and after the aperture, the excessive deflection of light rays can be avoided, and the difficulty of aberration correction can be reduced. More specifically, 7 < |f4 / f5| < 23.96.

[0074] In some embodiments, the curvature radius R1 of the object side of the first lens and the curvature radius R2 of the image side of the first lens satisfy: 0.5 < (R1 - R2) / (R1 + R2) < 0.7; the curvature radius R3 of the object side of the second lens and the curvature radius R4 of the image side of the second lens satisfy: -0.6 < (R3 - R4) / (R3 + R4) < -0.3. The first lens and the second lens are both meniscus negative lenses, which collect as many light rays with large field angles as possible and make the light rays enter the subsequent system smoothly, increasing the light throughput of the optical lens and effectively expanding the field of view range of the optical lens. More specifically, 0.5 < (R1 - R2) / (R1 + R2) < 0.64; -0.59 < (R3 - R4) / (R3 + R4) < -0.31.

[0075] In some embodiments, the object-side radius of curvature R5 of the third lens and the image-side radius of curvature R6 of the third lens satisfy the following condition: 1.4 < (R5 - R6) / (R5 + R6) < 5.8. Meeting this range helps correct aberrations and distortions at the edges of the field of view introduced by the first and second lenses, resulting in a lens with less distortion and providing high-definition imaging. More specifically, 1.48 < (R5 - R6) / (R5 + R6) < 5.4.

[0076] In some embodiments, the object-side radius of curvature R7 of the fourth lens and the image-side radius of curvature R8 of the fourth lens satisfy: 0 < |(R7-R8) / (R7+R8)| < 0.2. Satisfying this range can balance various aberrations generated by the optical lens and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens. More specifically, -0.2 < (R7-R8) / (R7+R8) < 0.02.

[0077] In some embodiments, the object-side radius of curvature R9 of the fifth lens and the image-side radius of curvature R10 of the fifth lens satisfy: -0.6 < (R9 + R10) / (R9 - R10) < 0.2. Meeting this range allows the fifth lens to be a biconvex type, which can balance various aberrations generated by the optical lens and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens. More specifically, -0.51 < (R9 + R10) / (R9 - R10) < 0.19.

[0078] In some embodiments, the object-side radius of curvature R13 of the seventh lens and the image-side radius of curvature R14 of the seventh lens satisfy: -1 < (R13 + R14) / (R13 - R14) < -0.1. Meeting this range is beneficial for converging light while correcting field curvature and distortion of the optical lens, thereby improving the imaging quality of the optical lens. More specifically, -0.96 < (R13 + R14) / (R13 - R14) < 0.1.

[0079] In some embodiments, the optical lens satisfies the following conditional expressions: 5 mm < f < 6 mm; 2 mm < EPD < 2.4 mm; 29 mm < TTL < 32 mm; 2.3 < Fno < 2.8; 11° < CRA < 35°; 4 mm < BFL < 5.5 mm; 170° < FOV < 180°; 15 mm < IH < 17 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 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, 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 miniaturization, large image plane, large aperture, and large field angle. More specifically, 5.22 mm < f < 5.74 mm; 2.08 mm < EPD < 2.3 mm; 29.35 mm < TTL < 31.22 mm; 2.45 < Fno < 2.55; 11.86° < CRA < 34.86°; 4.41 mm < BFL < 5.16 mm; 175° < FOV < 177°; 15.62 mm < IH < 16.32 mm.

[0080] 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.

[0081] In some embodiments, the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, the fifth lens, the sixth lens, the seventh lens, the eighth lens, and the ninth 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 second lens, the fifth lens, and the ninth lens of the present invention adopt aspherical lenses; the eighth lens adopts an aspherical lens or a spherical lens; the first lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, the sixth lens, and the seventh lens adopt spherical lenses.

[0082] 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 equations:

[0083] ;

[0084] 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, and F are the fourth, sixth, eighth, tenth, and twelfth order surface coefficients, respectively.

[0085] The present invention will be further described below with reference to several embodiments. 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. The following embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the following embodiments. Any changes, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the innovative points of the present invention should be considered equivalent substitutions and are included within the protection scope of the present invention.
