Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical imaging technology, and in particular to an ultra-short focal length, low-distortion projection lens. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of projection technology, users have increasingly higher requirements for the performance of projection lenses, especially in ultra-short focal length applications, where lenses are needed to project large images over short distances. Traditional projection lenses typically suffer from the following problems: significant optical distortion, affecting image quality; insufficient edge illumination, leading to uneven screen brightness; long overall lens length, hindering device miniaturization; and inflexible projection distance adjustment.

[0003] In existing technologies, some projection lenses employ complex optical structures to correct distortion, but these are often costly and struggle to simultaneously meet the requirements of ultra-short focal length, low distortion, and compact size. Furthermore, using glass lenses increases the lens's weight and cost. Therefore, there is a need for a low-cost, high-performance ultra-short focal length projection lens capable of achieving low distortion, high brightness uniformity, and adjustable projection distance. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ultra-short focal length, low-distortion projection lens. By optimizing the optical design, it achieves low distortion, high brightness uniformity, and a compact structure. The use of resin lenses reduces costs, and the projection distance of the projection lens can be flexibly changed by adjusting the relative distance between the refractive lens group and the Fresnel lens.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows:

[0006] An ultra-short focal length, low-distortion projection lens comprises, along the optical axis from the image side to the object side, a refractive mirror group, a Fresnel lens, and an LCD screen. The Fresnel lens has a Fresnel surface near the object side and a spherical surface near the image side. The refractive mirror group includes a first lens, a second lens, an aperture stop, a third lens, and a fourth lens. The first lens is a negative power convex-concave lens, the second lens is a positive power convex-concave lens, the third lens is a positive power convex-convex lens, and the fourth lens is a negative power concave-convex lens. The aperture stop is located between the second and third lenses. The projection distance T1 of the projection lens is changed by adjusting the relative distance T2 between the refractive mirror group and the Fresnel lens.

[0007] Preferably, the first lens and the second lens form group one, and the third lens and the fourth lens form group two, wherein the total optical power of group one is [missing value]. The total optical power of group two is The optical power of the Fresnel lens is: The following relationship must be satisfied:

[0008]

[0009] Preferably, the effective focal length (EFL) of the projection lens satisfies the following conditions:

[0010] 21.375mm≤EFL≤23.625mm.

[0011] Preferably, the imaging circle diameter Φ of the projection lens satisfies the following condition:

[0012] Φ≤53mm.

[0013] Preferably, the total lens length (TTL) of the projection lens satisfies the following condition:

[0014] TTL<65mm.

[0015] Preferably, the projection lens adopts a telecentric structure and uses an image-side telecentric optical path.

[0016] Preferably, the optical distortion of the projection lens is less than 2%, and the TV distortion is less than 1%.

[0017] Preferably, the diagonal field of view (DFOV) of the projection lens satisfies the following condition: DFOV ≥ 95°.

[0018] Preferably, the projection distance T1 is 0.9m to 3m, and the projection ratio TR of the projection lens is 0.45.

[0019] Preferably, the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, and the Fresnel lens are all made of resin.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] 1. By adopting a negative-positive-positive-negative optical power distribution and a symmetrical structure with the aperture located between the second and third lenses, the transverse aberration is reduced and optical distortion is effectively corrected.

[0022] 2. The telecentric design improves edge illumination and ensures uniform brightness of the projected image.

[0023] 3. By adjusting the relative distance between the refracting mirror group and the Fresnel lens, the projection distance can be adjusted within the range of 0.9m to 3m to adapt to different application scenarios.

[0024] 4. Using resin lenses reduces production costs, achieves lightweight projection lenses, and meets optical performance requirements.

[0025] 5. The overall length of the lens is less than 65mm, with a compact structure, which is beneficial for miniaturizing the projection lens.

The Fresnel lens 6 has a Fresnel surface near the object side and a spherical surface near the image side.

By adjusting the relative distance T2 between the refractive mirror group and the Fresnel lens 6, the projection distance T1 of the projection lens can be varied, allowing the projection lens to adapt to different application scenarios. The focusing data for changing the projection distance T1 of the projection lens by adjusting the relative distance T2 between the refractive mirror group and the Fresnel lens 6 are shown in Table 1.
