[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first aspect of this application provides a small wide-angle imaging optical system, which includes, in sequence along the optical axis from the object side to the image side: a first lens 100, a second lens 200, an aperture stop 300, a third lens 400, and a fourth lens 500; the first lens 100 has negative refractive power, and has a first object-side surface S1 and a first image-side surface S2, both of which are concave and aspherical; the second lens 200 has positive refractive power, and has a second object-side surface S3 and a second image-side surface S4, the second object-side surface S3 and... The second image-side surface S4 is convex and aspherical; the third lens 400 has negative refractive power, and has a third object-side surface S5 and a third image-side surface S6, where the third object-side surface S5 is convex and the third image-side surface S6 is concave, and both are aspherical; the fourth lens 500 has positive refractive power, and has a fourth object-side surface S7 and a fourth image-side surface S8, both of which are convex and aspherical; the aperture stop 300 is disposed between the second lens 200 and the third lens 400. The center thickness D1 of the first lens 100 and the center thickness D3 of the second lens 200 satisfy the condition: 1.5 <D3 / D1<5.5。
[0029] By setting conditions for the central thickness of the first lens 100 and the second lens 200, it is beneficial to mutually compensate and correct the aberration problem of the optical system, and it is more beneficial to achieve high-quality clear imaging of the optical system. The small wide-angle imaging optical system of the embodiment of the present application can simultaneously meet the requirements of large aperture, high pixel and miniaturization, reduce production costs, meet the user's usage requirements, and improve the user's usage experience.
[0030] In some embodiments, the focal length f1 of the first lens 100 and the focal length f of the optical system satisfy the conditional formula: -2 < f1 / f < 0. Since both the first object side S1 and the first image side S2 are aspherical surfaces, they can provide negative optical power for the optical system, making the optical system have the characteristics of wide viewing angle and low sensitivity.
[0031] In some embodiments, the focal length f2 of the second lens 200 and the focal length f of the optical system satisfy the conditional formula: 0 < f2 / f < 3. Since both the second object side S3 and the second image side S4 are aspherical surfaces, they can provide positive optical power for the optical system, thereby effectively correcting the aberration of the optical system and improving the imaging quality of the optical system, so as to obtain a high-definition imaging optical system.
[0032] In some embodiments, the focal length f4 of the fourth lens 500 and the focal length f of the optical system satisfy the conditional formula: 0.3 < f4 / f < 1.2. By setting in the way of the lower limit of the above conditional formula, it is beneficial to reduce the angle of the chief ray incident on the image plane of the peripheral viewing angle, so that the optical system obtains a suitable imaging field range; by setting in the way of the upper limit of the above conditional formula, it is beneficial to easily suppress the generation of astigmatism and achieve high-quality clear image quality.
[0033] In some embodiments, the maximum imaging field angle FOV of the optical system and the focal length f of the optical system satisfy the conditional formula: 130 < FOV / f < 250. By effectively setting the imaging range of the optical system, it is beneficial to the physical application of the wide-angle range of the optical system and the uniform imaging of the corresponding pixel positions of the sensor.
[0034] In some embodiments, the distance TTL from the first object side S1 to the imaging plane on the optical axis and the central thickness D8 of the fourth lens <500> satisfy the conditional formula: 5 < TTL / D8 < 9. By adopting the above conditional formula and reasonably configuring the central thickness of the fourth lens <500>, the structure of the optical system can be made compact, and the stability of the optical system structure can be increased.
[0035] In some embodiments, the focal length f3 of the third lens 400 and the central thickness D6 of the third lens 400 satisfy the conditional formula: -50 < f3 / D6 < -18. By adopting the above conditional formula, the imaging angle range of the optical system can be increased, so as to achieve the required imaging field range.
[0036] In some embodiments, the small wide-angle imaging optical system further includes a light-transmitting element 600, which is disposed on the side of the fourth lens 500 away from the third lens 400. The light-transmitting element 600 has a fifth object-side surface S9 and a fifth image-side surface S10, both of which are spherical. By providing the light-transmitting element 600, a portion of the light is filtered to reduce stray light and glare, further improving the color sharpness of the image and achieving good color reproduction.
