[0040] 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.

[0041] This invention provides an optical lens with nine lenses having optical power, arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the object side to the imaging plane as a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, a seventh lens, an eighth lens, and a ninth lens.

[0042] In some embodiments, the first lens may have negative optical power, its object-side surface may be convex, and its image-side surface may be concave. The second lens may have negative optical power, its object-side surface may be convex, and its image-side surface may be concave. The third lens may have negative optical power, its object-side surface may be concave, and its image-side surface may be either convex or concave.

The eighth lens may have positive optical power, its object-side surface may be convex, and its image-side surface may be concave. The ninth lens may have positive optical power, its object-side surface may be convex, and its image-side surface may be concave.

[0043] In some embodiments, the optical lens may also include an aperture stop, which may be located between the fifth and sixth 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.

[0044] In some embodiments, the optical lens may further include an optical filter and a protective glass, which are sequentially disposed between the ninth lens and the imaging surface along the optical axis. The optical filter is configured to filter out interfering light, preventing the interfering light from reaching the imaging surface of the optical lens and affecting normal imaging. The protective glass functions to protect the optical lens, prevent the photosensitive chip from being damaged, improve the impact resistance and scratch resistance of the optical lens, and meanwhile has almost no influence on the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0045] In some embodiments, the sixth lens and the seventh lens may be cemented to form a cemented lens, which can effectively correct 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 lowering the difficulty of the processing technology of the optical lens and increasing the assembly yield of the optical lens.

[0046] In some embodiments, to reduce the size of the optical lens, a non-power reflective element for optical path folding may be disposed between the third lens and the fourth lens, and the reflective element is a prism. The surface of the prism facing the object side is an incident surface, and the surface facing the imaging surface is an exit surface, both the incident surface and the exit surface being flat surfaces. A right-angle prism may be adopted as the prism, light from the object side enters the prism through the incident surface, is reflected by the reflecting surface, and then exits from the exit surface. By arranging the prism to bend the optical path, the thickness of the lens can be effectively shortened.

[0047] In some embodiments, the clear aperture half-diameter d1 of the object-side surface of the first lens and the clear aperture half-diameter d18 of the image-side surface of the ninth lens satisfy: 7.5<d1 / d18<10. Meeting the above range and reasonably setting the ratio of the apertures of the first and last lenses enables the lens to have a small head size while having a large imaging surface, which can better meet the balance of miniaturization and high pixels.

[0049] In some embodiments, the clear aperture half-diameter d18 of the image-side surface of the ninth lens and the real image height IH corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens satisfy: 0.03<d18 / IH<0.06.

Meeting the above range can shorten the system length, reduce aberrations and distortion of the edge field of view, enable the lens to have low distortion, and provide a high-definition imaging effect.

[0055] In some embodiments, the center thickness CT5 of the fifth lens and the center thickness CT6 of the sixth lens satisfy: 2.4<CT5 / CT6<3. Meeting the above range, the fifth lens and the sixth lens can regulate each other to maintain the miniaturization feature of the optical system.

[0056] In some embodiments, the curvature radius R17 of the object-side surface of the ninth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 3.4<R17 / f<7; the curvature radius R18 of the image-side surface of the ninth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 3.6<R18 / f<6.6. Meeting the above range, the surface shape of the ninth lens is reasonably limited, which is beneficial to increasing the divergence degree of light, increasing the area of light entering the imaging surface, and realizing large target surface imaging.

[0057] In some embodiments, the curvature radius R3 of the object-side surface of the second lens and the curvature radius R4 of the image-side surface of the second lens satisfy: 0.55<(R3-R4) / (R3+R4)<0.9.

[0061] In some embodiments, the sagittal height SAG4 of the clear aperture half-caliber of the image-side surface of the second lens, the sagittal height SAG3 of the clear aperture half-caliber of the object-side surface of the second lens, and the center thickness CT2 of the second lens satisfy: 0.05<(SAG4-SAG3) / CT2<0.65. Meeting the above range can limit the central depression degree of the second lens and reduce the difficulty of aberration correction in the marginal field of view.

[0062] In some embodiments, the sagittal height SAG10 of the clear aperture half-caliber of the image-side surface of the fifth lens, the sagittal height SAG9 of the clear aperture half-caliber of the object-side surface of the fifth lens, and the center thickness CT5 of the fifth lens satisfy: -0.26<(SAG10-SAG9) / CT5<-0.13. Meeting the above range can control the surface profile of the fifth lens, facilitate the manufacture and molding of the fifth lens, and reduce the defect rate. In addition, it can also avoid an excessively curved and complex surface profile, so that the field curvature of the system tends to be balanced.

[0063] In some embodiments, the sag SAG18 of the clear aperture half-diameter on the image side of the ninth lens, the sag SAG17 of the clear aperture half-diameter on the object side of the ninth lens, and the center thickness CT9 of the ninth lens satisfy: 0.1<(SAG18-SAG17) / CT9<0.25. Satisfying the above range facilitates the processing and molding of the ninth lens, and helps reduce the sensitivity of the ninth lens, thereby better balancing the relationship between the miniaturization of the optical lens and the relative illumination of the off-axis field of view.

[0064] In some embodiments, the total optical length TTL of the optical lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 25<TTL / f<35.
