[0037] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0038] The optical lens provided in this embodiment of the invention has eight lenses with optical power, which are arranged sequentially from the object side to the imaging plane along the optical axis as a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, a seventh lens, and an eighth lens.

[0039] 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 positive optical power, with both its object-side and image-side surfaces being concave or convex. The third lens may have negative optical power, with both its object-side and image-side surfaces being concave. The fourth lens may have positive optical power, with both its object-side and image-side surfaces being concave or convex. The fifth lens may have positive optical power, with both its object-side and image-side surfaces being concave or convex. The sixth lens may have negative optical power, with both its object-side and image-side surfaces being concave or convex. The seventh lens may have negative optical power, with both its object-side and image-side surfaces being concave. The eighth lens may have positive optical power, with both its object-side and image-side surfaces being concave or convex.

[0040] In some embodiments, the optical lens may also include an aperture stop, which may be located between the first lens and the second lens. 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. When the aperture stop is located between the first lens and the second lens, it facilitates the correction of aperture aberrations.

[0041] In some embodiments, the optical lens may further include a filter and a protective glass, which are sequentially disposed along the optical axis between the eighth lens and the imaging plane. The filter is used to filter out interfering light, preventing it from reaching the imaging plane of the optical lens and affecting normal imaging. The protective glass protects the optical lens, preventing damage to the image sensor and affecting the lens's imaging performance.

[0042] In some embodiments, the third lens and the fourth lens may be glued together to form a glued lens group with a negative optical power; the fifth lens and the sixth 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.

[0043] In some embodiments, the total optical length TTL of the optical lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 1.7 < TTL / f < 2.3. Meeting the above range can effectively limit the length of the lens, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the optical lens. More specifically, 1.88 < TTL / f < 2.13.

[0044] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens, the maximum field angle FOV of the optical lens, and the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens satisfy: 50° < f × FOV / IH < 60°. Meeting the above range is beneficial to the balance of the large field angle and large target surface imaging of the optical lens by reasonably restricting the relationship between the focal length, field angle, and image height of the optical lens. More specifically, 53.32° < f × FOV / IH < 55.62°.

[0045] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f3 of the third lens satisfy: -1.3 < f3 / f < -0.5. Meeting the above range, setting the third lens to have a negative optical power can further control the incident angle of light, expand the field angle range of the optical lens, increase the back focal length of the optical lens, avoid interference between the lens and the photosensitive chip, and is also conducive to the correction of aberration, which can further improve the imaging quality of the optical lens. More specifically, -1.14 < f3 / f < -0.57.

[0046] In some embodiments, the focal length f1 of the first lens and the focal length f3 of the third lens satisfy: 2.2 < f1 / f3 < 11. Meeting the above conditions, by reasonably setting the focal length relationship between the first and third lenses, it is beneficial to the smooth transition of light, while correcting various aberrations of the optical lens and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens. More specifically, 2.52 < f1 / f3 < 9.99.

[0047] In some embodiments, the combined focal length f12 of the first lens and the second lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.8 < f12 / f < 2.9. Meeting the above range, the combined focal length of the first lens and the second lens provides a positive optical power for the optical lens, which can enable the front lens group of the optical lens to have a strong light deflection ability, facilitating an increase in the field angle of the optical lens. More specifically, 0.83 < f12 / f < 2.64.

[0048] In some embodiments, the combined focal length f2345678 of the second lens, the third lens, 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: 0.6 < f2345678 / f < 1.1. Meeting the above relationship, by controlling the relationship between the rear lens group of the aperture stop and the effective focal length of the optical lens, it is beneficial to correct aberrations and is conducive to overall aberration correction and image quality balance. More specifically, 0.64 < f2345678 / f < 1.

[0049] In some embodiments, the object-side curvature radius R5 of the third lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -1.7 < R5 / f < -0.5; the image-side curvature radius R6 of the third lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.5 < R6 / f < 4.3; the object-side curvature radius R5 of the third lens and the image-side curvature radius R6 of the third lens satisfy: -2.4 < R5 / R6 < -0.1; the object-side curvature radius R5 of the third lens and the image-side curvature radius R6 of the third lens satisfy: -0.8 < (R5 + R6) / (R5 - R6) < 0.4. Meeting the above range, the third lens has a double concave shape, which can rapidly diverge light rays, facilitating an expansion of the field range. More specifically, -1.57 < R5 / f < -0.57; 0.59 < R6 / f < 3.96; -2.25 < R5 / R6 < -0.14; -0.75 < (R5 + R6) / (R5 - R6) < 0.39.

[0050] 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: 3 < TTL / IH < 4.1. Meeting the above range, while ensuring the same overall length of the lens, it has a larger image plane, can match a larger-sized imaging chip to achieve high-definition imaging, and can better achieve the balance between a small overall length and a large image plane of the lens. More specifically, 3.25 < TTL / IH < 3.78.

[0051] 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 maximum field angle FOV of the optical lens satisfy: 1 < (IH / 2) / (f × tan(FOV / 2)) < 1.06. Satisfying the above range controls the optical lens to have less distortion and can provide a high-definition imaging effect.

[0052] In some embodiments, the maximum field angle FOV of the optical lens and the aperture value Fno of the optical lens satisfy: 15° < FOV / Fno < 21°. Satisfying the above range is conducive to expanding the field angle of the lens and increasing the aperture of the lens, realizing the characteristics of a large aperture. More specifically, 16.66° < FOV / Fno < 19.77°.

[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: 0.5 < IH / f < 0.65. Satisfying the above range controls the image height and focal length of the optical lens within a reasonable range, which helps the optical lens to have the characteristic of a large image plane and improve the imaging quality. More specifically, 0.54 < IH / f < 0.6.

[0054] 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: 0.38 < TTL / (IH / 2) / (FOV / 2) × 1° < 0.51. Satisfying the above range helps to control the structural balance of the total optical length, field angle and image height of the optical lens, and makes the structure of the optical lens more stable on the premise of meeting the design requirements.

[0055] In some embodiments, the clear aperture radius d1 of the object side 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: 3.3 < d1 / (IH / 2) / tan(FOV / 2) < 5.5. Satisfying the above range can reasonably control the front aperture while meeting the requirements of the optical lens having a large field angle and a large image height, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the optical lens. More specifically, 3.58 < d1 / (IH / 2) / tan(FOV / 2) < 5.01.

[0056] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f1 of the first lens satisfy: -10.5 < f1 / f < -1.5. Satisfying the above range, setting the first lens of the optical lens as a negative-power lens can capture the light rays entering the optical lens at a large angle, expand the field angle range of the optical lens, and is also conducive to reducing the sensitivity of the optical lens and realizing the miniaturized design of the optical lens. More specifically, -9.71 < f1 / f < -1.72.

[0057] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f2 of the second lens satisfy: 0.7 < f2 / f < 1.9. Meeting the above conditional formula enables the second lens to have the effect of converging light rays. When paired with the negative optical power of the first lens, it can further converge the light rays passing through the first lens, reduce the height of peripheral light rays, which is beneficial for reducing the aperture of the rear lens, and at the same time is beneficial for balancing aberrations and improving resolution. More specifically, 0.77 < f2 / f < 1.73.

[0058] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f4 of the fourth lens satisfy: 0.7 < f4 / f < 3.2. Meeting the above range, by setting the fourth lens to have a positive optical power, it can further converge the light rays from the first three lenses, correct the aberration problems brought by the first three lenses, and effectively improve the aberrations in the marginal field of view, thus enhancing the overall imaging quality of the optical lens. More specifically, 0.73 < f4 / f < 2.91.

[0059] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f5 of the fifth lens satisfy: 0.6 < f5 / f < 1.1. Meeting the above range, defining that the fifth lens has a positive optical power is beneficial for light ray convergence, thereby effectively correcting chromatic aberration, and can finally correct the aberrations generated by the decentration differences of the lenses on the object side. That is, it can reduce the decentration sensitivity of the optical lens, suppress the astigmatism generated by the decentration of the lenses on the object side, and thus achieve the correction of the aberrations of the optical lens and improve the imaging resolution. More specifically, 0.68 < f5 / f < 1.04.

[0060] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f6 of the sixth lens satisfy: -1.1 < f6 / f < -0.5. Meeting the above range, setting the sixth lens to have a negative optical power makes the light rays in the large field of view slowly rise, changing the parallel light trend of the light beam to a divergent trend, which is beneficial for controlling the back focal length of the lens and is beneficial for achieving a large target surface. More specifically, -1.03 < f6 / f < -0.56.

[0061] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f7 of the seventh lens satisfy: -10.5 < f7 / f < -1.5. Meeting the above range is beneficial for expanding the width of the light beam, enabling the wide light beam to fully enter the imaging surface of the optical lens, making the optical lens have a wider field of view range, and being beneficial for achieving high-pixel imaging. More specifically, -9.62 < f7 / f < -1.61.

[0062] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f8 of the eighth lens satisfy: 1.3 < f8 / f < 21. Meeting the above range and setting the eighth lens with a positive optical power is beneficial to light convergence, enabling the light trend to smoothly transition to the rear, reducing the height of the light incident on the rear, slowing down the upward trend of the light, avoiding the light energy loss caused by the excessive main ray angle of the large field of view light when reaching the imaging surface, being conducive to improving the illuminance of the edge field of view, and being beneficial to achieving a short overall optical length. More specifically, 1.42 < f8 / f < 19.24.

[0063] In some embodiments, the curvature radius R1 of the object side surface of the first lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -1.4 < R1 / f < -0.7; the curvature radius R2 of the image side surface of the first lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -2.7 < R2 / f < -1; 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 < R1 / R2 < 0.8; 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: -0.5 < (R1 - R2) / (R1 + R2) < -0.1. Meeting the above range enables the first lens to have a meniscus shape, which can reduce the requirement for the distance of the incident light from the optical axis, is beneficial to reducing the front port diameter of the lens, and enables the light to smoothly transition in the lens. More specifically, -1.33 < R1 / f < -0.8; -2.46 < R2 / f < -1.07; 0.36 < R1 / R2 < 0.78; -0.47 < (R1 - R2) / (R1 + R2) < -0.12.

[0064] In some embodiments, the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field of view angle of the optical lens and the entrance pupil diameter EPD of the optical lens satisfy: 0.9 < IH / EPD < 1.1. Meeting the above conditions enables the field of view and the light flux to be balanced and improves the imaging quality of the lens. More specifically, 0.92 < IH / EPD < 1.06.

[0065] In some embodiments, the distance BL on the optical axis from the image side surface of the eighth lens to the imaging surface and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.18 < BL / f < 0.29. Meeting the above range can endow the optical lens with the characteristic of a long back focal length, can meet the arrangement requirements of the rear-end chip, and reduces the assembly and processing difficulty.

[0066] In some embodiments, the combined focal length f12 of the first lens and the second lens and the combined focal length f2345678 of the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, the fifth lens, the sixth lens, the seventh lens, and the eighth lens satisfy: 1 < f12 / f2345678 < 3.5. Meeting the above range enables the first lens and the second lens of the optical lens to have an appropriate light power ratio, and can fully transmit the large-angle light entering the lens to the rear light system, obtaining a larger field of view range and higher relative illumination. More specifically, 1.05 < f12 / f2345678 < 3.24.

[0067] In some embodiments, the optical lens satisfies the following conditional expressions: 18.5 mm < f < 24 mm; 10.5 mm < EPD < 13.5 mm; 38 mm < TTL < 48 mm; 1.5 < Fno < 2; 17° < CRA < 24°; 3.6 mm < BL < 6.5 mm; 27° < FOV < 37°; 11 mm < IH < 14 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 chief ray angle of incidence of the optical lens, BL represents the distance from the image side of the eighth lens to the imaging plane on the optical axis, FOV represents the maximum field of view angle of the optical lens, and IH represents the true image height corresponding to the maximum field of view angle of the optical lens. Meeting the above range, the optical lens has at least one or more advantages such as miniaturization, long focal length, large aperture, and large target surface. More specifically, 20.6 mm < f < 21.71 mm; 11.44 mm < EPD < 12.69 mm; 40.98 mm < TTL < 45.01 mm; 1.69 < Fno < 1.81; 18.12° < CRA < 23.02°; 3.99 mm < BL < 6.09 mm; 29.99° < FOV < 33.61°; 11.39 mm < IH < 13.23 mm.

[0068] 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, 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.

[0069] In some embodiments, the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth lenses can be spherical 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 their size, and better achieving lens miniaturization. More specifically, the seventh lens of this invention is an aspherical lens; the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and eighth lenses are spherical lenses.

[0070] 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.

[0071] 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.
