[0002] With the rapid development of mobile communication technology and the widespread adoption of smartphones, the functions and application scenarios of mobile phone lenses are constantly being enriched and expanded. Among them, telephoto lenses, as a functional module capable of long-distance shooting and optical zoom, have received widespread attention in the smartphone market.

[0003] However, for telephoto lenses to capture distant and high-quality images, they inevitably require a long focal length and a large aperture, necessitating a sufficiently large lens size. This creates a trade-off between size, macro capability, and zoom ratio, making it impossible to balance performance and size, and hindering the miniaturization of telephoto lenses. Existing technologies, such as modules that increase the optical path by folding the light path with prisms, have achieved significant progress in recent years; however, the aforementioned trade-offs still persist in telephoto lenses.

[0028] 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.

[0029] The features, principles and other aspects of this application are described in detail below.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the folded optical path structure of a clustered telephoto lens according to an embodiment of this application is shown.

[0031] A clustered telephoto lens according to an exemplary embodiment of this application includes a first lens group 10, a folding prism P1, a second lens group 20, and a chip imaging assembly 30; the folding prism P1 includes an input side and an output side, and a filter film is disposed on the input side and / or the output side of the folding prism P1; the first lens group 10 includes at least three lenses, arranged in front of the input side of the folding prism P1; the second lens group 20 includes at least one lens, arranged after the output side of the folding prism P1, or disposed immediately adjacent to the input side of the folding prism P1, and located between the first lens group 10 and the input side of the folding prism P1; the first lens group 10 and / or the second lens group 20 move along the optical axis direction for focusing.

[0032] The reflecting prism P1 includes an input side and an output side. In one embodiment, as shown... Figure 1 As shown, the light-inlet side and the light-outlet side can be the same surface; however, this application is not limited to this. For example, the light-inlet side and the light-outlet side can be located at the top and bottom of the folding prism P1, respectively, or at the top and waist of the folding prism P1, etc. After entering the folding prism P1 from the light-inlet side, the light can be reflected at least twice before exiting from the light-outlet side. If the first lens group 10 is arranged before the light-inlet side of the folding prism P1, and the second lens group 20 is arranged after the light-outlet side of the folding prism P1, the light can pass through the first lens group 10, the folding prism P1, and the second lens group 20 in sequence, and finally be projected onto the imaging surface IMG of the chip imaging assembly 30. If the first lens group 10 is arranged before the light-inlet side of the folding prism P1, and the second lens group 20 is arranged adjacent to the light-inlet side of the folding prism P1 and located between the first lens group 10 and the light-inlet side of the folding prism P1, then light can pass through the first lens group 10, the second lens group 20 and the folding prism P1 in sequence, and finally be projected onto the imaging surface IMG of the chip imaging assembly 30.

[0033] The retroreflector prism P1 can perform multiple light path reflections, achieving light path folding and changing the original straight direction of light. The back focal length of the lens can be folded inside the retroreflector prism P1, allowing light rays emitted from the retroreflector prism P1 to reach the imaging plane IMG after a shorter optical path, thus shortening the back focal length of the lens and significantly reducing the overall height and shoulder height of the lens module. By rationally allocating the optical power, spacing, and refractive index of each lens in the first lens group 10 and the second lens group 20, as well as the angle and thickness of the retroreflector prism P1, the overall height and shoulder height of the grouped telephoto lenses can be significantly reduced. Moreover, the retroreflector prism P1 includes an input side and an output side, and the input side and / or output side of the retroreflector prism P1 are equipped with a filter film, which can further reduce the height of the lens module.

[0034] The first lens group 10 and / or the second lens group 20 move along the optical axis for autofocus (AF), achieving excellent image quality at close range (e.g., 20cm) and infinity. Optionally, the first lens group 10, while moving along the optical axis for AF, can also move in the XY direction (with the optical axis pointing to the Z-axis) to achieve OIS (Optical Image Stabilization). Furthermore, the grouping configuration allows the AF & OIS travel to be 50%-80% of the conventional focusing travel, meeting the requirements for reduced height and facilitating the miniaturization of the lens module.

[0035] Therefore, the clustered telephoto lens of this utility model can achieve a smaller size and meet the requirements of miniaturization.

[0036] In an exemplary embodiment, according to the grouped telephoto lens of this application, the first lens group 10 may include at least three lenses, for example, three, four, or five lenses; the lenses may be spherically or aspherically molded. In one exemplary embodiment, the lens closest to the object side of the first lens group 10 has positive optical power and can function as a light-gathering element. In one exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the first lens group 10 includes a first lens L1, a second lens L2, and a third lens L3 sequentially from the object side to the image side. The first lens L1 has positive optical power, the second lens L2 has negative optical power, and the third lens L3 has positive optical power. In one exemplary embodiment, the second lens L2 may be meniscus-shaped, with its object side being concave.

[0037] In an exemplary implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, according to the grouped telephoto lens of this application, the second lens group 20 includes only one lens, which can reduce the module shoulder height. This lens is designated as the fourth lens L4, which can be spherically or aspherically molded. In one exemplary embodiment, the fourth lens L4 has negative optical power to correct chromatic aberration. In another exemplary embodiment, the center of the fourth lens L4 convexes towards the object side, and the object side surface of the fourth lens L4 has two troughs, i.e., one trough from the center to each side.

[0038] In an exemplary embodiment, the lenses in the first lens group 10 and the second lens group 20 of the present application can be made of glass, plastic, or a glass-plastic hybrid, etc.

[0039] In an exemplary embodiment, the grouped telephoto lens according to this application further includes an aperture stop STO. Preferably, the aperture stop STO may be disposed on the object side of the lens closest to the object side of the first lens group 10. However, this application is not limited to this, and the aperture stop STO may also be disposed between two adjacent lenses among the plurality of lenses in the first lens group 10, etc.

Therefore, by controlling the size of the distance M1 from the bottom of the reflecting prism P1 to the outermost point of the object-side surface of the lens closest to the object side of the first lens group 10, and the distance M2 from the bottom of the reflecting prism P1 to the bottom surface of the circuit board 40 where the chip imaging component 30 is located, it is beneficial to reduce the shoulder height of the lens module and achieve miniaturization of the lens module.

Then, by controlling the distance M1 from the bottom of the folding prism P1 to the outermost point of the object side of the lens closest to the object side of the first lens group 10, the distance M2 from the bottom of the folding prism P1 to the bottom surface of the circuit board 40 where the chip imaging component 30 is located, and the total optical length M3 of the grouped telephoto lens, it is beneficial to reduce the total optical length of the system and realize the miniaturization of the lens module.

[0042] In an exemplary implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the clustered telephoto lens according to this application can satisfy M4≥3.5mm; where M4 is the distance between the intersection of the zero-field principal ray and the second reflecting surface of the folding prism P1 and the incident optical axis. Satisfying M4≥3.5mm, and controlling the range of values ​​for the distance M4 between the intersection of the zero-field principal ray and the second reflecting surface of the folding prism P1 and the incident optical axis, is beneficial for lens module assembly.

[0043] In an exemplary implementation, such as Figure 1As shown, according to the clustered telephoto lens of this application, if the first lens group 10 is arranged before the light-incoming side of the reflecting prism P1, and the second lens group 20 is arranged after the light-outcoming side of the reflecting prism P1, in the telephoto state, the distance H8a between the lens of the first lens group 10 closest to the reflecting prism P1 and the reflecting prism P1 along the optical axis, and in the near-focus state, the distance H8b between the lens of the first lens group 10 closest to the reflecting prism P1 and the reflecting prism P1 along the optical axis, the near-focus object distance H0, and the system focal length f' of the clustered telephoto lens satisfy: ABS(H8a-H8b) / (f'*H0 / (H0-f')-f')≤ 1. This can help reduce the travel during lens focusing and is beneficial for the miniaturization of the lens module.

[0044] In an exemplary embodiment, the grouped telephoto lens according to this application can satisfy EFX1 / f'<1; where EFX1 is the optical power of the first lens group 10, and f' is the system focal length of the grouped telephoto lens. Satisfying EFX1 / f'<1, by controlling the range of the ratio between the optical power EFX1 of the first lens group 10 and the system focal length f' of the grouped telephoto lens, is beneficial for correcting aberrations and improving image quality.

[0045] In an exemplary implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the grouped telephoto lens according to this application satisfies 0.01≤H11 / H9≤0.1; wherein, the second lens group 20 includes a fourth lens L4, H9 is the equivalent thickness of the reflecting prism P1, and H11 is the center thickness of the fourth lens L4. Satisfying 0.01≤H11 / H9≤0.1, by controlling the ratio range of the center thickness H11 of the fourth lens L4 and the equivalent thickness H9 of the reflecting prism P1, it is beneficial to control the height of the prism light exit surface module, which is beneficial to reducing the shoulder height of the lens module and realizing the miniaturization of the lens module.

[0046] In an exemplary embodiment, the clustered telephoto lens according to this application satisfies 0.25≤f' / H9≤1.2; where H9 is the equivalent thickness of the reflecting prism P1, and f' is the system focal length of the clustered telephoto lens. Satisfying 0.25≤f' / H9≤1.2, by controlling the range of the ratio between the equivalent thickness H9 of the reflecting prism P1 and the system focal length f' of the clustered telephoto lens, is beneficial for controlling the thickness of the prism within a reasonable range, for optimizing optical system aberrations, and for reducing system size, thus achieving miniaturization of the lens module.

[0047] In an exemplary embodiment, the clustered telephoto lens according to this application satisfies -5 ≤ f4 / f' ≤ 0; wherein, the second lens group 20 includes a fourth lens L4, f4 is the focal length of the fourth lens L4, and f' is the system focal length of the clustered telephoto lens. Satisfying -5 ≤ f4 / f' ≤ 0, by controlling the range of the ratio of the focal length f4 of the fourth lens L4 to the system focal length f' of the clustered telephoto lens, is beneficial for correcting distortion and improving image quality.

[0048] In an exemplary embodiment, the grouped telephoto lens according to this application satisfies 0.5 ≤ C3 / C12 ≤ 1.8; where C3 is the radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the lens closest to the object in the first lens group 10, the second lens group 20 includes a fourth lens L4, and C12 is the radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the fourth lens L4. Satisfying 0.5 ≤ C3 / C12 ≤ 1.8, by controlling the range of the ratio of the radius of curvature C3 of the object-side surface of the lens closest to the object in the first lens group 10 to the radius of curvature C12 of the object-side surface of the fourth lens L4, is beneficial for meeting the system focal length requirements and improving image quality.

In this context, the thickness corresponding to "8 L3 R2" in the surface serial number is "0.45 / 1.43". 0.45mm represents the distance H8a along the optical axis between the third lens L3 (the lens in the first lens group 10 closest to the reflecting prism P1) and the reflecting prism P1 in the telephoto state, and 1.43mm represents the distance H8b along the optical axis between the third lens L3 (the lens in the first lens group 10 closest to the reflecting prism P1) and the reflecting prism P1 in the near-focus state (macro, such as 20cm). The sign of the radius of curvature is determined by the left or right of the surface's center, with the object side on the left and the image side on the right. If the surface is to the left of the center, the radius of curvature is positive; if the surface is to the right of the center, the radius of curvature is negative.

[0066] In Embodiment 1, the object-side surface and image-side surface of any one of the first lens L1 to the fourth lens L4 can both be even-order aspherical surfaces. The shape of the aspherical surface can be defined using, but is not limited to, the following aspherical surface formula:

[0067] (1)

[0068] Where x is the distance vector from the vertex of the extended aspherical surface at a height of h along the optical axis; c is the paraxial curvature of the extended aspherical surface, c = 1 / R (i.e., the paraxial curvature c is the reciprocal of the radius of curvature in Table 1 above); k is the conic coefficient; Ai is the correction coefficient of the i-th order of the extended aspherical surface.

[0069] Table 2 shows the conic coefficients and higher-order coefficients A2, A4, A6, A8, A10, A12, A14, A16, A18 and A20 that can be used when the object side and image side of the first lens L1 to the fourth lens L4 in Embodiment 1 are even-order aspherical surfaces.

In the telephoto state, the distance H8a between the third lens L3 (i.e., the lens of the first lens group 10 closest to the reflecting prism P1) and the reflecting prism P1 along the optical axis is [missing information]. In the near-focus state, the distance H8b between the third lens L3 (i.e., the lens of the first lens group 10 closest to the reflecting prism P1) and the reflecting prism P1 along the optical axis is [missing information].

The equivalent thickness H9 of the reflecting prism P1 and the system focal length f' of the group telephoto lens are related by the formula f' / H9 = 0.962, satisfying 0.25 ≤ f' / H9 ≤ 1.2. The focal length f1 of the first lens L1 and the system focal length f' of the group telephoto lens are related by the formula f1 / f' = 0.604, satisfying 0.2 ≤ f1 / f' ≤ 1. The focal length f4 of the fourth lens L4 and the system focal length f' of the group telephoto lens are related by the formula f4 / f' = -1.716, satisfying -5 ≤ f4 / f' ≤ 0. The Abbe number AB1 of the first lens L1 is related to its refractive index N1 by the formula AB1 / N1 = 0.028, satisfying 0.01 ≤ AB1 / N1 ≤ 0.05. The radius of curvature C3 of the object-side surface of the lens closest to the object side in the first lens group 10 is related to the radius of curvature C12 of the object-side surface of the fourth lens L4 by the formula C3 / C12 = 1.429, satisfying 0.5 ≤ C3 / C12 ≤ 1.8.

The distance H12 from the object-side surface of the lens closest to the imaging plane IMG in the second lens group 20 to the imaging plane IMG is 1.410 mm, satisfying 0.25 mm ≤ H12 ≤ 14 mm.

[0073] Figure 4 The diagram shows the MTF curve of the clustered telephoto lens in the telephoto state of Example 1. The MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) curve shows the transmission of image details (i.e. image contrast) at different spatial frequencies by the imaging system. At infinity and a spatial frequency of 125 lp / mm, the OTF modulus is greater than 0.2, indicating good resolution. Figure 5The diagram shows the MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) curve of the clustered telephoto lens in Example 1 at close focus. The MTF curve shows the imaging system's transmission of image details (i.e., image contrast) at different spatial frequencies. At a close focus of 20cm and a spatial frequency of 120lp / mm, the MTF modulus is greater than 0.1, indicating excellent resolution. According to... Figures 4 to 5 It can be seen that the clustered telephoto lens given in Example 1 has good resolution in both telephoto and close-focus states, and can achieve good image quality.
