[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0023] As Figure 1 shown in the figure, an ultra-short focus LCD projection lens comprises a first positive lens 1, a second negative lens 2, a diaphragm 3, a third positive lens 4 and a Fresnel lens 5 arranged in sequence from the object side to the image side, the first positive lens 1, the second negative lens 2 and the third positive lens 4 are all plastic aspheric lenses.

[0024] The object side surface and the image side surface of the first positive lens 1 are convex and concave in sequence, the object side surface and the image side surface of the second negative lens 2 are concave and convex in sequence, and the object side surface and the image side surface of the third positive lens 4 are both convex.

[0025] The aperture Fno. of the projection lens is ≤2.6, which meets the lens brightness requirement.

[0026] The image side surface of the Fresnel lens 5 is provided with an LCD screen 6, and the distance between the Fresnel lens 5 and the LCD screen 6 is L, 8mm < L < 12mm. This distance needs to be determined by the optical machine, and too large or too small will be unfavorable to the resolution.

[0027] The back focal distance meets the following conditions, L1 < 42mm, L1 is the distance between the back vertex of the image side of the third positive lens 4 and the Fresnel lens 5. This distance determines the position of the back focal distance of the optical machine, and too small back focal distance will cause the problem of optical path interference by the mechanism.

[0028] 0.9 < |f1 / f| < 1.1, 0.8 < |f2 / f3| < 1, wherein f1 is the focal length of the first positive lens 1, f2 is the focal length of the second negative lens 2, f3 is the focal length of the third positive lens 4, and f is the focal length of the lens optical system.

[0029] The focal length of the lens is determined by the structure of the front and back two surfaces of the lens, and the focal length of the lens reflects the overall situation of the combination of the front and back two surfaces of the lens, which is a structural parameter of the lens. The lens meeting the above limitation conditions can effectively correct the change amount of high and low temperature resolution. In the embodiment, |f1 / f| = 0.99, |f2 / f3| = 0.85.

[0030] The Fresnel lens 5 is an aspheric lens, and the aspheric surface of the Fresnel lens 5 can improve the overall resolution of the lens.

[0031] 0.9 < |TR| < 1, TR is the projection ratio of the lens. The smaller the projection ratio, the larger the projected picture at the same distance, and the higher the design difficulty. In the embodiment, |TR| = 0.98.
