[0050] In some embodiments, the optical lens may further include an aperture, which may be located between the fifth lens and the sixth lens. It can be understood that the aperture is used to limit the amount of incident light to change the brightness of the imaging.
[0051] In some embodiments, the optical lens may further include a filter, which is disposed between the tenth 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.
[0052] In some embodiments, the sixth lens and the seventh lens may be glued together to form a glued lens group with a positive 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: 1.3 < f_glue1 / f < 2.2. More specifically, 1.39 < f_glue1 / f < 2.06.
[0053] In some embodiments, the eighth lens and the ninth lens can be glued together to form a cemented lens group with a negative optical power, which can effectively correct the chromatic aberration of the optical lens, reduce the decentration 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_ce2 of the eighth lens and the ninth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -6 < f_ce2 / f < -2.2; the combined focal length f_ce1 of the sixth lens and the seventh lens and the combined focal length f_ce2 of the eighth lens and the ninth lens satisfy: -0.65 < f_ce1 / f_ce2 < -0.3.

[0054] 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: 1 < (IH / 2) / (f×θ) < 1.2. Satisfying the above range can make the lens have a small distortion value and provide a high-definition imaging effect. More specifically, 1.11 < (IH / 2) / (f×θ) < 1.15.
[0055] In some embodiments, the overall optical length TTL of the optical lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 6 < TTL / f < 7. Satisfying the above range can effectively limit the length of the lens and is conducive to the miniaturization of the optical lens. More specifically, 6.45 < TTL / f < 6.66.
[0056] 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: 1.9 < TTL / IH < 2.2. Satisfying the above range ensures that the lens has a larger image plane under the same overall length, can match a larger-size imaging chip to achieve high-definition imaging, and can better achieve the balance between the small overall length and the large image plane of the lens. More specifically, 2.05 < TTL / IH < 2.09.
[0057] In some embodiments, the maximum field angle FOV of the optical lens and the aperture value Fno of the optical lens satisfy: 55° < FOV / Fno < 60°. Satisfying the above range limits the optical lens to have an appropriate field angle and aperture value, can collect light at a large angle, and obtain good imaging quality. More specifically, 57.2° < FOV / Fno < 57.22°.
[0058] 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: 8.5 < IH / EPD < 9.5.

[0059] 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 < 3.4.

Meeting the above range can ensure the balance between the size of the optical lens, the field angle, and the image plane.
[0061] 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: 9 < 180°×TTL / (IH / 2) / (FOV / 2) < 9.5. Meeting the above range can achieve a balance among the image height, focal length, and overall optical length, and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens. More specifically, 9.26 < 180°×TTL / (IH / 2) / (FOV / 2) < 9.36.
[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: 45° < f×FOV / IH < 55°. Meeting the above conditional formula, by reasonably restricting the relationship among the focal length, field angle, and image height of the optical lens, it is beneficial to achieve the balance between the field angle of the optical lens and large target surface imaging, and better meet the usage requirements of high image quality shooting of the optical lens. More specifically, 50.06° < f×FOV / IH < 51.13°.
[0063] In some embodiments, the focal length f1 of the first lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -11 < f1 / f < -3.5. Meeting the above range, the first lens has an appropriate negative focal length, which is beneficial to expanding the field angle of the optical lens. More specifically, -10.14 < f1 / f < -3.8.
[0064] In some embodiments, the focal length f2 of the second lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -2.9 < f2 / f < -1.6. When within the above range, and the second lens is also a negative lens, it can further diverge light and increase the field angle of the imaging system. More specifically, -2.71 < f2 / f < -1.7.
[0065] In some embodiments, the focal length f3 of the third lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 4.2 < |f3 / f| < 105. 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, 4.5 < |f3 / f| < 99.4.
[0066] In some embodiments, the focal length f4 of the fourth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -3.3 < f4 / f < -2.6. 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, -3.11 < f4 / f < -2.84.
[0067] In some embodiments, the focal length f5 of the fifth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 3.6 < f5 / f < 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, 4.05 < f5 / f < 8.19.
[0068] In some embodiments, the focal length f6 of the sixth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 5.2 < |f6 / f| < 55; the focal length f7 of the seventh lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 1.2 < f7 / f < 1.7. When within the above range, the optical path difference between different fields can be adjusted, the resolution can be improved, it is beneficial for light to enter the rear lens smoothly, further the field curvature can be reduced, and the off-axis point aberration of the optical lens can be corrected. More specifically, 5.69 < |f6 / f| < 51.79; 1.27 < f7 / f < 1.6.
[0069] In some embodiments, the focal length f8 of the eighth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 1 < f8 / f < 1.2; the focal length f9 of the ninth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -1 < f9 / f < -0.75. When within the above range, the cooperation of the eighth lens with positive optical power and the ninth lens with negative optical power can adjust the optical path difference between different fields, improve the resolution, it is beneficial for light to enter the rear lens smoothly, further the field curvature can be reduced, and the off-axis point aberration of the optical lens can be corrected. More specifically, 1.03 < f8 / f < 1.17; -0.94 < f9 / f < -0.79.
[0070] In some embodiments, the focal length f10 of the tenth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 1.4 < f10 / f < 1.9. The tenth lens satisfying the above conditions helps to reasonably collect light, ensure the light transmission amount, improve the relative illuminance, and enhance the brightness of the optical lens at the image plane. More specifically, 1.45 < f10 / f < 1.84.
[0071] In some embodiments, the combined focal length fa of the lenses located in front of the aperture and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -1.8 < fa / f < -1.1; the combined focal length fb of the lenses located behind the aperture and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 1.7 < fb / f < 2.3; the combined focal length fa of the lenses located in front of the aperture and the combined focal length fb of the lenses located behind the aperture satisfy: -0.95 < fa / fb < -0.5. Satisfying the above ranges and reasonably setting the focal length relationship of the lens groups before and after the aperture can reduce the correction difficulty of the aberration of the optical lens and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens. More specifically, -1.73 < fa / f < -1.12; 1.79 < fb / f < 2.12; -0.89 < fa / fb < -0.56.
[0072] In some embodiments, the focal length f1 of the first lens and the focal length f10 of the tenth lens satisfy: -7.5 < f1 / f10 < -2.1. Satisfying the above range, by reasonably setting the focal length relationship of the first and last lenses in the lens, while ensuring that as much light as possible enters the system, the area of light entering the imaging plane is increased, which is beneficial to achieving large image plane imaging of the lens, while increasing the light input amount and improving the relative illuminance of the system. More specifically, -6.97 < f1 / f10 < -2.34.
[0073] 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 < -1; the maximum focal length f_pos_max among all the lenses with positive optical power and the minimum focal length f_neg_min among all the lenses with negative optical power satisfy: -3.4 < f_pos_max / f_neg_min < -0.45. 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. f_pos_max is the largest in value among all the lenses with positive optical power and has the smallest influence on the deflection of light rays; f_neg_min is the smallest in value among all the lenses with negative optical power and has the smallest influence on the deflection of light rays. Satisfying the above ranges makes the influence of the lenses on the degree of light ray deflection close, which is beneficial to balancing the aberration of the optical lens. More specifically, -1.4 < f_pos_min / f_neg_max < -1.1; -3.14 < f_pos_max / f_neg_min < -0.51.
[0074] In some embodiments, the maximum central thickness CT_max among the first lens to the tenth lens and the minimum central thickness CT_min among the first lens to the tenth lens satisfy: 9 < CT_max / CT_min < 25. Satisfying the above range can effectively compress the total length of the optical lens and is beneficial to the structural design and production process of the optical lens. More specifically, 9.4 < CT_max / CT_min < 23.63.
[0075] In some embodiments, the focal length f4 of the fourth lens and the focal length f5 of the fifth lens satisfy: -0.8 < f4 / f5 < -0.3; the focal length f7 of the seventh lens and the focal length f8 of the eighth lens satisfy: 1 < f7 / f8 < 1.6; the focal length f1 of the first lens and the focal length f2 of the second lens satisfy: 1.6 < f1 / f2 < 6.5; the focal length f9 of the ninth lens and the focal length f10 of the tenth lens satisfy: -0.65 < f9 / f10 < -0.45. Satisfying the above ranges can avoid excessive deflection of light rays and reduce the difficulty of aberration correction. More specifically, -0.77 < f4 / f5 < -0.37; 1.1 < f7 / f8 < 1.53; 1.78 < f1 / f2 < 5.95; -0.59 < f9 / f10 < -0.48.
[0076] In some embodiments, the object-side radius of curvature R1 of the first lens and the image-side radius of curvature R2 of the first lens satisfy: 2 < (R1 + R2) / (R1 - R2) < 2.5; the object-side radius of curvature R3 of the second lens and the image-side radius of curvature R4 of the second lens satisfy: 2.5 < (R3 + R4) / (R3 - R4) < 4.8; the object-side radius of curvature R5 of the third lens and the image-side radius of curvature R6 of the third lens satisfy: 4.2 < |(R5 + R6) / (R5 - R6)| < 15. The first, second, and third lenses are all meniscus negative lenses, collecting as much light as possible from a wide field of view and ensuring smooth entry of light into the rear system, increasing the light transmission of the optical lens and effectively expanding its field of view. More specifically, 2.19 < (R1+R2) / (R1-R2) < 2.37; 2.69 < (R3+R4) / (R3-R4) < 4.46; 4.49 < |(R5+R6) / (R5-R6)| < 14.67.
[0077] 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: -2.6 < (R7 + R8) / (R7 - R8) < -1.7. This is beneficial for correcting aberrations and distortions at the edges of the field of view caused by the front lens, resulting in a lens with less distortion and providing high-definition imaging. More specifically, satisfying the above range means -2.41 < (R7 + R8) / (R7 - R8) < -1.8.
[0078] In some embodiments, the object-side radius of curvature R11 of the sixth lens and the image-side radius of curvature R12 of the sixth lens satisfy: 4.4 < |(R11+R12) / (R11-R12)| < 13. Satisfying this range can balance various aberrations generated by the optical lens and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens. More specifically, 4.81 < (R11+R12) / (R11-R12) < 12.02.
[0079] In some embodiments, the radius of curvature R19 of the object side of the tenth lens and the radius of curvature R20 of the image side of the tenth lens satisfy the following condition: 0.2 < (R19 + R20) / (R19 - R20) < 0.4. Meeting this range helps to properly collect light, ensure sufficient light transmission, improve relative illumination, and thus enhance the brightness of the optical lens at the image plane. More specifically, 0.21 < (R19 + R20) / (R19 - R20) < 0.36.
[0080] In some embodiments, the optical lens satisfies the following conditional expressions: 4.8 mm < f < 5.5 mm; 1.7 mm < EPD < 1.9 mm; 32 mm < TTL < 35 mm; 2.6 < Fno < 3; 14° < CRA < 19°; 6 mm < BFL < 7 mm; 150° < FOV < 170°; 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 total optical length of the optical lens, Fno represents the aperture value of the optical lens, CRA represents the chief ray angle of incidence 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, 5.09 mm < f < 5.15 mm; 1.81 mm < EPD < 1.84 mm; 32.95 mm < TTL < 33.96 mm; 2.75 < Fno < 2.85; 15.02° < CRA < 18.04°; 6.12 mm < BFL < 6.9 mm; 160.1° < FOV < 160.3°; 15.97 mm < IH < 16.34 mm. <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.
