[0040] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0041] It should be noted that the terminology used in the embodiments of this invention is for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention. It should be noted that directional terms such as "above," "below," "left," and "right" described in the embodiments of this invention are used to describe the angles shown in the accompanying drawings and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of this invention. Furthermore, in the context, it should be understood that when referring to an element being formed "above" or "below" another element, it can be formed not only directly "above" or "below" the other element, but also indirectly "above" or "below" the other element through an intermediate element. The terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. It should be understood that such terms can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or apparatus.
[0042] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a mobile phone lens provided in an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to... Figure 1The mobile phone lens provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a first lens 10 with positive optical power, a second lens 20 with negative optical power, a third lens 30 with positive optical power, a fourth lens 40 with negative optical power, a fifth lens 50 with positive optical power, a sixth lens 60 with negative optical power, and a seventh lens 70 with negative optical power arranged sequentially from the object side to the image side along the optical axis; wherein, the first lens 10 to the seventh lens 70 are all plastic aspherical lenses.
[0043] It is understandable that optical power, the reciprocal of focal length, characterizes the ability of an optical system to deflect light. The larger the absolute value of optical power, the stronger the ability to bend light; the smaller the absolute value, the weaker the ability to bend light. When optical power is positive, the refraction of light is converging; when optical power is negative, the refraction of light is diverging. In practical implementation, refer to... Figure 1 The mobile phone lens also includes a flat glass 80, which is located on the side closest to the image plane. The flat glass 80 protects the photosensitive chip in the image sensor, which converts the light signals collected by the mobile phone lens into electrical signals, thereby ensuring the imaging effect of the mobile phone lens. The first lens 10, second lens 20, third lens 30, fourth lens 40, fifth lens 50, sixth lens 60, seventh lens 70, and flat glass 80 can be housed in a single lens barrel. Figure 1 Within the lens (not shown), incident light is collected by a first lens 10 with positive optical power and a second lens 20 with negative optical power, which helps to adjust aberrations and distortions produced by the lens. The combination of optical powers from the third lens 30 to the seventh lens 70 helps the lens achieve the required angle. The mobile phone lens has a focal length f of 4.65mm, an aperture f of 1.85, and a maximum field of view (FOV) of 103°. It should be noted that... Figure 1 The structural diagrams in the following embodiments are for illustrative purposes only, and shapes such as aspherical surfaces are not represented in accordance with actual conditions.
[0044] The mobile phone lens provided in this embodiment of the invention adopts a structure of 7 plastic aspherical lenses. In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the design of the lens shape and the reasonable allocation of the optical power of each lens have achieved a mobile phone lens design that can take into account a large field of view, a field of view of up to 103°, a large aperture and a small size.
[0045] Continue to refer to Figure 1 Optionally, the mobile phone lens also includes an aperture 90, which is located between the second lens 20 and the third lens 30.
[0046] The first lens 10 and the second lens 20 before the aperture stop 90 form the front aperture lens group, and the third lens 30 to the seventh lens 70 after the aperture stop 90 form the rear aperture lens group. Optionally, the third lens 30 and the fourth lens 40 can be set independently or the third lens 30 and the fourth lens 40 can form a cemented lens. The focal length of the rear aperture lens group and the mobile phone lens meets the following requirements:
[0047] 0.96 <f1 / f<1.05;
[0048] Where f1 represents the focal length of the lens group behind the aperture stop, and f represents the focal length of the mobile phone lens.
[0049] Optionally, the focal length of the front lens group and the mobile phone lens should meet the following requirements:
[0050] -0.021 <f / f2<0.007;
[0051] Where f2 represents the focal length of the front lens group and f represents the focal length of the mobile phone lens.
[0052] By controlling the focal length of the lens group behind the aperture stop to approximate the overall focal length of the mobile phone lens, it is beneficial for the mobile phone lens to achieve the required angle. Controlling the focal length range of the lens group in front of the aperture stop helps to adjust the aberrations and distortions produced by the mobile phone lens. Satisfying the above conditions ensures that the mobile phone lens achieves a wide field of view.
[0053] Optional, mobile phone lenses meet the following requirements:
[0054] 2.18 <TTL / f<2.31;
[0055] Where TTL represents the distance from the vertex of the object side surface of the first lens 10 to the image surface, and f represents the focal length of the mobile phone lens.
[0056] By setting the TTL / f within the above constraints, the focal length of the mobile phone lens is ensured to be neither too large nor too small, thereby keeping the optical distortion of the mobile phone lens within a controllable and appropriate range, which is beneficial to improving the image quality of the mobile phone lens.
[0057] Optional, mobile phone lenses meet the following requirements:
[0058] 2.82 <TTL / (CT1+CT2+CT3)<3.16;
[0059] Where TTL represents the distance from the vertex of the object side of the first lens 10 to the image plane, and CT1, CT2 and CT3 represent the center thicknesses of the first lens 10, the second lens 20 and the third lens 30, respectively.
[0060] By setting TTL / (CT1+CT2+CT3) within the above constraints, the mobile phone lens can be made small in size and compact in structure without affecting image quality.
[0061] Optional, mobile phone lenses meet the following requirements:
[0062] 0.13 <BF / IMA<0.16;
[0063] Where BF represents the distance from the vertex of the image side of the seventh lens 70 to the image plane, and IMA represents the image plane height of the mobile phone lens.
[0064] Setting the BF / IMA within the above constraints allows for a compact mobile phone lens structure with sufficient back focal length space, facilitating installation.
[0065] Optional, mobile phone lenses meet the following requirements:
[0066] 0.18 <ENPD / IMA<0.24;
[0067] Wherein, ENPD represents the entrance pupil diameter of the mobile phone lens, and IMA represents the image plane height of the mobile phone lens.
[0068] By setting ENPD / IMA within the above constraints, the actual amount of light entering the camera can be increased to meet the requirements of a large aperture, which can reach f / 1.85.
[0069] The lenses in the mobile phone lenses provided in this embodiment of the invention are all aspherical lenses, and the surface of the aspherical lens satisfies the following formula:
[0070] ;
[0071] Where z is the axial sagitta in the Z-direction of the aspherical surface; r is the height of the aspherical surface; c is the curvature of the fitted sphere, numerically the reciprocal of the radius of curvature; k is the conic coefficient; a i For aspherical higher-order terms, the coefficients are given.
