[0047] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. The following will describe this application in detail with reference to the drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0048] The optical lens provided by the embodiment of the present invention has four lenses with optical power, and they are, in order from the object side to the imaging surface along the optical axis, the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, and the fourth lens.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first lens may have a positive optical power, its object side is a convex surface, and its image side is a concave surface. The second lens may have a positive optical power, its object side is a convex surface, and its image side may be a concave surface or a convex surface. The third lens may have a positive optical power, its object side is a concave surface, and its image side is a convex surface. The fourth lens may have a positive optical power, its object side may be a concave surface or a convex surface, and its image side may be a concave surface or a convex surface.

[0050] In some embodiments, the optical lens may further include an aperture, and the aperture may be located between the object side and the first lens. It can be understood that the aperture is used to limit the amount of incident light to change the brightness of the image.

[0051] In some embodiments, the optical lens may further include a filter, and the filter may be disposed between the fourth lens and the imaging surface. The filter is used to filter out interfering light to prevent the interfering light from reaching the imaging surface of the optical lens and affecting normal imaging.

[0052] 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: 0.7 < TTL / IH < 0.9. By satisfying the above conditional formula and reasonably configuring the total optical length of the optical lens and the true image height corresponding to the maximum field angle, it is possible to effectively shorten the total optical length of the optical lens while ensuring that the optical lens has a high pixel count, so that the optical lens meets the requirements of miniaturization while having a high imaging quality.

[0053] 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: 1.6 < IH / f < 1.9. By satisfying the above conditional formula, controlling the ratio of the effective focal length to the image height of the optical lens, shortening the effective focal length can expand the field angle, enabling the optical lens to capture a wider object-side space, increasing the width of the light beam entering the optical lens, improving the brightness at the image plane of the optical lens and avoiding vignetting; at the same time, enabling the optical lens to have the characteristic of a large image plane, matching a large-image-plane chip to improve the resolution and ensuring the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0054] In some embodiments, the maximum field angle FOV of the optical lens and the f-number Fno of the optical lens satisfy: 33° < FOV / Fno < 41°. By satisfying the above conditional formula, it is beneficial to expand the field angle of the optical lens and increase the aperture of the optical lens, realizing the characteristics of a large field angle and a large aperture. The realization of the large field 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 the rapid decrease of the relative brightness of the edge field of view caused by the large field angle, and thus is also beneficial for obtaining more scene information.

[0055] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the f-number Fno of the optical lens satisfy: 1mm < f / Fno < 1.3mm. By satisfying the above conditional formula, it is beneficial for the optical lens to obtain the characteristic of a large aperture, enabling the optical lens to have sufficient light input, which is thus beneficial for making the captured image clearer; at the same time, the short focal length combined with the large aperture enables the optical lens to have a large field angle to capture more scene information, and at the same time solves the problem of shooting in low light through the large aperture, and strengthens the sense of hierarchy of the picture with flexible depth-of-field control.

[0056] In some embodiments, the on-axis spacing CT23 between the second lens and the third lens and the off-axis spacing ET23 between the second lens and the third lens satisfy: 2 < CT23 / ET23 < 8. When the above conditional formula is satisfied, it is beneficial to control the air gap between the second lens and the third lens, as well as the curvature radii of the image side of the second lens and the object side of the third lens within a reasonable range, shorten the overall optical length of the optical lens, realize the miniaturized design of the optical lens, and is also beneficial for avoiding interference between the second lens and the third lens due to too small distance between them, and at the same time avoiding excessive bending of the second lens and the third lens, reducing the process difficulty and defective risk of the optical lens.

[0057] In some embodiments, the clear aperture semi-diameter CSD11 of the object side surface of the first lens and the clear aperture semi-diameter CSD41 of the object side surface of the fourth lens satisfy: 0.2 < CSD11 / CSD41 < 0.6. By satisfying the above conditional formula, by controlling the ratio of the clear aperture semi-diameter of the object side end of the first lens and the clear aperture semi-diameter of the object side end of the fourth lens, the optical lens can have a smaller aperture size, meeting the small head design; at the same time, it ensures that the optical lens can achieve large-angle light collection, realize large field-of-view imaging of the optical lens, increase the imaging area of the optical lens, and improve the imaging quality.

[0058] In some embodiments, the clear aperture semi-diameter CSD11 of the object side surface of the first lens and the clear aperture semi-diameter CSD21 of the object side surface of the second lens satisfy: 0.75 < CSD11 / CSD21 < 0.95. By satisfying the above conditional formula, the light beam converges orderly from the first lens to the second lens, avoiding the problem of excessive incident angle of marginal rays on the second lens due to the overly wide light beam, reducing the generation of monochromatic aberrations such as spherical aberration and coma, and at the same time reducing the difficulty of chromatic aberration correction.

[0059] In some embodiments, the focal length f1 of the first lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 1 < f1 / f < 1.7. By satisfying the above conditional formula, the first lens can better converge the light rays incident from the object space, so as to increase the field-of-view range of the optical lens and shorten the total length of the optical lens. On the other hand, it can prevent the first lens from generating excessive aberrations, so that the optical lens has good imaging quality.

[0060] In some embodiments, the focal length f1 of the first lens, the curvature radius R1 of the object side surface of the first lens, and the curvature radius R2 of the image side surface of the first lens satisfy: 0.3 < f1 / (R1 + R2) < 1.2. By satisfying the above conditional formula, the surface shapes of the object side surface and the image side surface of the first lens can be constrained, which is beneficial to reducing the bending degree of light rays at the image side surface of the first lens, reducing the astigmatism of the optical lens, so as to balance the astigmatism problem brought by the large field-of-view angle of the optical lens, so that the astigmatism of the optical lens is not too large while having a large field of view, and further ensuring that the optical lens has excellent imaging quality.

[0061] In some embodiments, the focal length f2 of the second lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 3 < f2 / f < 201. By satisfying the above conditional formula, the optical power of the second lens can be effectively regulated to reasonably deflect the light rays from the marginal field of view of the first lens, preventing the light rays from being deflected too much, so as to correct the marginal aberration of the optical lens and improve the imaging resolution.

[0062] In some embodiments, the radius of curvature R3 of the object side surface of the second lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 1.1 < R3 / f < 6.2. Meeting the above conditional formula makes the shape of the object side surface of the second lens convex near the optical axis, enabling the light rays passing through the first lens to be converged into the second lens, which can reduce the size of the subsequent lenses, contribute to the miniaturization of the optical lens, and the second lens can effectively reduce the generation of spherical aberration and astigmatism to improve the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0063] In some embodiments, the focal length f3 of the third lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 2 < f3 / f < 205. Meeting the above conditional formula enables the optical power of the third lens to be effectively regulated to achieve reasonable deflection of the light rays in the marginal fields of view from the first lens and the second lens, preventing excessive deflection of the light rays, thereby correcting the marginal aberration of the optical lens and improving the imaging resolution; and it can share the burden of the optical power of the second lens, so that the optical power of the second lens does not need to be too strong, thus facilitating reducing the influence of the aberration brought by the second lens.

[0064] In some embodiments, the radius of curvature R5 of the object side surface of the third lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -1.7 < R5 / f < -0.6. Meeting the above conditional formula makes the object side surface of the third lens concave, offsetting the spherical aberration brought by the first two positive optical power lenses and simultaneously reducing the incident angle of the off-axis light rays, significantly improving astigmatism and coma, and greatly enhancing the clarity of the image edge.

[0065] In some embodiments, the maximum field of view FOV of the optical lens and the chief ray angle of incidence CRA at the maximum image height of the optical lens satisfy: 2 < FOV / CRA < 2.9. Meeting the above conditional formula enables the incident light rays at different field of view angles of the optical lens to enter the image sensor at appropriate angles, making the brightness of the four corners and the center of the image sensor more uniform, improving the photosensitive performance of the image sensor, and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0066] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the entrance pupil diameter EPD of the optical lens satisfy: 1.9 < f / EPD < 2.3. Meeting the above conditional formula helps to improve the light receiving ability of the optical lens by controlling the ratio of the effective focal length to the entrance pupil diameter of the optical lens, obtaining as much object space information as possible, and thus obtaining imaging information with higher brightness and resolution.

[0067] In some embodiments, the central thickness CT2 and the edge thickness ET2 of the second lens satisfy: 0.5 < CT2 / ET2 < 1.8. By satisfying the above conditional formula, by controlling the central thickness and the edge thickness of the second lens within a certain range, it is also possible to effectively balance the aberration generated by the optical lens, and at the same time, it is beneficial to the field curvature adjustment in engineering production, and thus beneficial to improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0068] In some embodiments, the clear aperture semi-diameter CSD31 and the sagittal height SAG31 of the object side surface of the third lens satisfy: -16 < CSD31 / SAG31 < -2.2. By satisfying the above conditional formula, by adjusting the surface shape of the edge region of the object side surface of the third lens, it is beneficial to diverge the marginal field light rays, and at the same time, it is possible to correct the off-axis aberration of the marginal field of the optical lens and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0069] In some embodiments, the focal length f4 of the fourth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 4 < f4 / f < 390. By satisfying the above conditional formula, by setting the fourth lens to have a positive optical power, it is possible to further converge the light rays from the first three lenses, correct the aberration problems brought by the first three lenses, and effectively improve the aberration of the marginal field, and enhance the overall imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0070] In some embodiments, the optical lens satisfies the following conditional formula: 2.4 mm < f < 2.8 mm; 3.3 mm < TTL < 3.7 mm; 75° < FOV < 85°; 1 mm < EPD < 1.3 mm; 1.95 < Fno < 2.3; 28° < CRA < 41°; 4.4 mm < IH < 4.7 mm. In the above conditional formula, f represents the effective focal length of the optical lens, TTL represents the overall optical length of the optical lens, FOV represents the maximum field angle of the optical lens, EPD represents the entrance pupil diameter of the optical lens, Fno represents the aperture value of the optical lens, CRA represents the main ray incident angle at the maximum image height of the optical lens, and IH represents the true image height corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens. By satisfying the above conditional formula, the optical lens has at least one or more advantages of short focal length, miniaturization, large field angle, large entrance pupil diameter, large aperture, large image plane, low distortion, low sensitivity and high pixel characteristics.

[0071] 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. On the other hand, when the lens material is glass, due to the low dispersion characteristic of the glass itself, the geometric chromatic aberration of the optical system can be effectively corrected. That is, the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, and the fourth lens of the present invention can all adopt plastic materials or all adopt glass materials; or some lenses can adopt plastic materials and the remaining lenses can adopt glass materials.

[0072] In some embodiments, the first lens, second lens, third lens, and fourth lens can be spherical lenses or aspherical lenses. Compared to spherical structures, aspherical structures can effectively reduce the aberrations of the optical system, thereby reducing the number of lenses and the size of the lenses, and better achieving lens miniaturization. More specifically, the first lens, second lens, third lens, and fourth lens of the present invention are aspherical lenses.

[0073] In various embodiments of the present invention, when an aspherical lens is used, the shapes of each aspherical surface of the optical lens satisfy the following equations: 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.

[0074] 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 differ; specific differences can be found in 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. Embodiment 1

[0075] Please refer to Figure 1, which shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the optical lens 100 provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The optical lens 100 includes, along the optical axis from the object side to the imaging plane, the following components in sequence: aperture ST, first lens L1, second lens L2, third lens L3, fourth lens L4, and filter G1.

[0076] The first lens L1 has positive optical power, its object-side surface S1 is convex, and its image-side surface S2 is concave near the optical axis; the second lens L2 has positive optical power, its object-side surface S3 is convex near the optical axis, and its image-side surface S4 is concave near the optical axis; the third lens L3 has positive optical power, its object-side surface S5 is concave, and its image-side surface S6 is convex; the fourth lens L4 has positive optical power, its object-side surface S7 is convex, and its image-side surface S8 is concave near the optical axis; the object-side surface S9 and image-side surface S10 of the filter G1 are both planar; and the imaging surface S11 is planar.

[0077] The first lens L1, the second lens L2, the third lens L3, and the fourth lens L4 are plastic aspherical lenses.

[0081] Figure 2 shows the astigmatism curve of Example 1, which represents the astigmatism of light 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 astigmatism in the meridional and sagittal image planes is controlled within -0.1 mm to 0.15 mm, indicating that the optical lens can effectively correct astigmatism.

The horizontal axis represents the distortion value (unit: %), and the vertical axis represents the half field of view (unit: °). As can be seen from the figure, the F~Tan (Theta) distortion of the optical lens is controlled within -1% to 2%, and the image compression in the edge angle region is relatively smooth, effectively improving the sharpness of the unfolded image, indicating that the optical lens can correct distortion well.

[0083] Figure 4 shows the axial aberration curves of Example 1, which represent the aberrations 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 ±0.1 mm, indicating that the optical lens can effectively correct axial aberrations.

[0084] Figure 5 shows the transverse chromatic aberration curves for Example 1, representing the chromatic aberration of each wavelength relative to the center wavelength (0.940 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 figure, the transverse chromatic aberration of the longest and shortest wavelengths is controlled within -3 μm to 2 μm, indicating that the optical lens can effectively correct chromatic aberration. Example 2

[0085] Please refer to Figure 6, which shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the optical lens 200 provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention.
