Abstract
Description
Technical area
[0001] The present disclosure relates to an imaging lens system, an image capture unit, and an electronic device, particularly to an imaging lens system and an image capture unit that can be used in an electronic device. Description of the state of the art
[0002] With the development of semiconductor manufacturing technology, the performance of image sensors has improved and their pixel size has been downscaled. Therefore, high image quality is one of the essential features of an optical system today.
[0003] Furthermore, due to rapid technological change, electronic devices equipped with optical systems are tending toward multifunctionality for various applications, which has increased the requirements for the functionality of the optical systems. However, it is difficult to achieve a balance between requirements such as high image quality, low sensitivity, a suitable aperture size, miniaturization, and a desirable field of view with a conventional optical system.
[0004] Especially in recent years, electronic devices and other electronic products have become increasingly lighter and thinner, making it difficult for traditional optical lenses to simultaneously meet the requirements of high specifications and compactness, especially for small lenses with large apertures or telephoto lenses. Traditional telephoto lenses can no longer meet the technological requirements and therefore have problems such as excessively large overall length, excessively small aperture, insufficient quality, and lack of compactness. Therefore, other optical features must be introduced to solve the above problems in order to meet the requirements.
[0005] To enhance medium- to long-range photography, some current mobile phones also use fixed-focal-length telephoto lenses combined with digital zoom algorithms. However, the resulting visual effects do not originate from true optical zoom, resulting in a deterioration in image quality. Alternatively, other mobile phones achieve short- and long-distance zoom effects through the interaction of a variety of lenses with different focal lengths. However, their disadvantages include image judder when switching between lenses and variations in the amount of incident light and color consistency, resulting in a poor photography experience. Furthermore, the use of multiple lenses significantly increases the space required within an electronic product. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0029] An imaging lens system may comprise, in order from an object side to an image side along a light path, a first lens element, a second lens element, a third lens element, and a fourth lens element.
[0030] The imaging lens system may include two lens groups. The two lens groups may be a first lens group and a second lens group in order from the object side to the image side along the optical path. The two lens groups may include six lens elements. The six lens elements may be, in order from the object side to the image side along the optical path, the first lens element, the second lens element, the third lens element, the fourth lens element, a fifth lens element, and a sixth lens element. The total number of lens groups of the imaging lens system may be two. The first lens group may include the first lens element, the second lens element, and the third lens element, and the second lens group may include the fourth lens element, the fifth lens element, and the sixth lens element.Each of the lens elements of the two lens groups can have an object-side surface facing the object side and an image-side surface facing the image side. Therefore, configuring the imaging lens system with a total of two lens groups achieves a good balance between overall size, zoom ratio, object distance range, moving focus, image quality, and assembly effort, thus achieving optical zoom and optical focusing for medium- to long-range imaging.
[0031] The imaging lens system may have a first state corresponding to an infinite object distance and a second state corresponding to a finite object distance, wherein the first state may refer to a state of the imaging lens system with an imaged object at an infinite distance (the infinite object distance), and the second state may refer to a state of the imaging lens system with an imaged object at a finite distance (the finite object distance). In the present disclosure, the finite object distance may refer to a position of an imaged object that is obviously closer to the imaging lens system than infinity. Furthermore, the infinite object distance refers to an axial distance between an imaged object and the object-side surface of a lens element of the imaging lens system that is closest to the object side (e.g.,the first lens element) that is equal to or greater than 1000 meters. Furthermore, the finite object distance refers to an axial distance between an imaged object and the object-side surface of a lens element of the imaging lens system closest to the object side (e.g., the first lens element) that is equal to or less than 5 meters. When an imaged object at infinite object distance moves to finite object distance, the imaging lens system can perform a focusing process to change its first state to its second state. Conversely, when an imaged object at finite object distance moves to infinite object distance, the imaging lens system can also perform the focusing process to change its second state to its first state.At least one lens group of the two lens groups can move along a direction parallel to an optical axis during the focusing process. Furthermore, the second lens group can move along the direction parallel to the optical axis during the focusing process. Therefore, this is advantageous for preventing the overall lens structure of the imaging lens system from expanding or shrinking toward or away from the object side due to the focusing process, thereby improving the operability and robustness of the lens and simplifying the optical design and mechanism thereof. Furthermore, all lens elements of each of the first lens group and the second lens group can exhibit no relative movement with respect to each other during the focusing process. Therefore, this is advantageous for simplifying the mechanism thereof.
[0032] The imaging lens system in the first state may have a first long focal point end state corresponding to a long focal point end and a first short focal point end state corresponding to a short focal point end during a zooming operation. At least one lens group of the two lens groups may move along a direction parallel to the optical axis during the zooming operation. See Fig. 1, which is a schematic view of an image acquisition unit in a first short focal point end state and in a first long focal point end state, respectively, according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. The upper part of Fig. 1 shows the imaging lens system in the first state with short focal point end, and the lower part of Fig.1 shows the imaging lens system in the first state with a long focal point end. Furthermore, the second lens group can move along the direction parallel to the optical axis during the zooming operation. Therefore, this is advantageous for preventing the overall lens structure of the imaging lens system from expanding or shrinking toward or away from the object side due to the zooming operation, thereby improving the operability and robustness of the lens and simplifying the optical design and mechanism thereof. Furthermore, all lens elements of each of the first lens group and the second lens group can exhibit no relative movement to each other during the zooming operation. Therefore, this is advantageous for simplifying the mechanism thereof.
[0033] Similarly, in the second state, the imaging lens system may have a second long focal end state corresponding to the long focal end and a second short focal end state corresponding to the short focal end during the zooming operation.
[0034] A lens element with the maximum central thickness among the imaging lens system may be a lens element of the first lens group closest to the image side or a lens element of the second lens group closest to the object side. Therefore, it is advantageous to increase the refractive power of the lens element of the first lens group closest to the image side or the refractive power of the lens element of the second lens group closest to the object side, thereby reducing the lens pitch between the lens element of the first lens group closest to the image side and the lens element of the second lens group closest to the object side in both the first state and the second state, thus reducing the total path length of the imaging lens system.Furthermore, among the imaging lens systems, the lens element having the maximum central thickness may be the third lens element or the fourth lens element. Therefore, it is advantageous to increase the refractive power of the third lens element or the refractive power of the fourth lens element, thereby reducing the lens pitch between the third lens element and the fourth lens element, and thus reducing the total path length of the imaging lens system. In one aspect of the present application, the lens element of the first lens group closest to the image side may be the third lens element. In one aspect of the present application, the lens element of the second lens group closest to the object side may be the fourth lens element.
[0035] The lens element of the first lens group closest to the image side may have a positive refractive power. Therefore, it is advantageous to balance the refractive power of the first lens group and the refractive power of the lens element of the second lens group closest to the object side in order to control the spatial distribution of the optical path at different focal lengths of the imaging lens system, thereby improving the image quality at different focal lengths.
[0036] The third lens element may have a positive refractive power. Therefore, it is advantageous to balance the refractive powers of the second and fourth lens elements on the object side and the image side of the third lens element, respectively, thereby increasing the light convergence capability between the second lens element and the fourth lens element and correcting aberrations.
[0037] The sixth lens element may have a negative refractive power. Therefore, it is advantageous for balancing the refractive power of the imaging lens system at one image end thereof, increasing the convergence quality of light from different fields of view onto an image surface of the imaging lens system, and correcting aberrations. The image-side surface of the sixth lens element may be concave in a paraxial region thereof. Therefore, it is advantageous for assisting in balancing the back focal length of the imaging lens system while correcting off-axis aberrations.
[0038] According to the present disclosure, at least one of the object-side surface and the image-side surface of at least one lens element of the two lens groups may have at least one inflection point in an off-axis region thereof. Therefore, this is advantageous for increasing optical design flexibility to correct astigmatism. Furthermore, the image-side surface of the sixth lens element may have at least one inflection point in an off-axis region thereof. Therefore, this is advantageous for controlling the angle of light passing through the periphery of the image-side surface of the sixth lens element, thereby maintaining the optical illuminance and preventing the generation of excessive aberrations due to an excessively large deflection angle of the light. See Fig.17 is a schematic view showing the inflection points P of the image-side surface of the first lens element E1, the object-side surface of the second lens element E2, the image-side surface of the second lens element E2, the object-side surface of the third lens element E3, the image-side surface of the fourth lens element E4, the object-side surface of the fifth lens element E5, the image-side surface of the fifth lens element E5, the object-side surface of the sixth lens element E6, and the image-side surface of the sixth lens element E6 of the image sensing unit in the first short-focus-end state according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure.The inflection points of the image-side surface of the first lens element, the object-side surface of the second lens element, the image-side surface of the second lens element, the object-side surface of the third lens element, the image-side surface of the fourth lens element, the object-side surface of the fifth lens element, the image-side surface of the fifth lens element, the object-side surface of the sixth lens element and the image-side surface of the sixth lens element in . Fig. 17 are merely exemplary. Each of the object-side surfaces and the image-side surfaces of the lens elements in the first and other embodiments of the present disclosure may also have one or more inflection points in an off-axis region thereof.
[0039] According to the present disclosure, at least one of the object-side surfaces and the image-side surfaces of at least one lens element of the two lens groups may have at least one critical point in an off-axis region thereof. Therefore, this is advantageous for improving the ability to correct aberrations in the peripheral image. See Fig.17 is a schematic view of the critical points C of the image-side surface of the first lens element E1, the object-side surface of the second lens element E2, the image-side surface of the second lens element E2, the object-side surface of the third lens element E3, the image-side surface of the fourth lens element E4, the object-side surface of the fifth lens element E5, and the object-side surface of the sixth lens element E6 of the image sensing unit in the first short-focus state according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure.The critical points of the image-side surface of the first lens element, the object-side surface of the second lens element, the image-side surface of the second lens element, the object-side surface of the third lens element, the image-side surface of the fourth lens element, the object-side surface of the fifth lens element, the image-side surface of the fifth lens element and the object-side surface of the sixth lens element in . Fig. 17 are merely exemplary. Each of the object-side surfaces and the image-side surfaces of the lens elements in the first and other embodiments of the present disclosure may also have one or more critical points in an off-axis region thereof.
[0040] According to the present disclosure, the imaging lens system may include at least one reflective element with a light path deflection function, arranged between an imaged object and the image surface, such as a prism, a reflective mirror, etc. Furthermore, the at least one reflective element may be arranged between an imaged object and the first lens group. The reflective element may have at least one reflective surface.The optical path can be deflected at least once by the at least one reflective surface of the at least one reflective element, which is advantageous for reducing the overall size, so that the imaging lens system can have a deflected optical path and can be more flexible in spatial arrangement, and therefore the dimensions of an electronic device are not limited by the total path length of the imaging lens system, thereby reducing mechanical constraints, miniaturizing the imaging lens system, and thus meeting various specification requirements.
[0041] An angle between the optical axis and the normal direction of the at least one reflective surface of the at least one reflective element is not limited to 45 degrees, but may also have other angles depending on the spatial arrangement. The optical path along an optical axis on the object side can be deflected by the at least one reflective element onto an optical axis on the image side. An angle between a vector of the optical axis on the object side and that on the image side can be any angle, but is not limited to 0, 90, or 180 degrees. In addition, in order to reduce the size of the imaging lens system, the length and width of the reflective mirror may differ from each other, and the length, width, and height of the prism may differ from each other. The surface of the at least one reflective element (e.g.The surface of the prism or the reflecting mirror may be planar, spherical, aspherical, or a freeform shape according to the optical design requirements, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The at least one reflective element may consist of more than one prism depending on the design requirements. The prism may be made of glass material or plastic material depending on the design requirements. Furthermore, the prism with the optical path deflection function is not one of the lens elements, that is, the prism with the optical path deflection function is not included in the six lens elements of the imaging lens system.
[0042] Furthermore, Fig. 18 to Fig. 20, each showing a schematic view of a configuration of a reflective element in an imaging lens system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As in Fig. 18 to Fig. As shown in Figure 20, the imaging lens system may include, in order from an imaged object (not shown in the drawings) to an image surface IMG along a propagation direction of a light path, a reflective element LF, a lens group LG, a filter FT, and the image surface IMG. Furthermore, the lens group LG may be identical to the two lens groups disclosed in the present disclosure.
[0043] In Fig.18, the reflecting element LF is a prism and has, in series along a propagation direction of the light on the optical path, a first light-transmitting surface LP1, a reflecting surface RF1, and a second light-transmitting surface LP2. The optical path enters the reflecting element LF through the first light-transmitting surface LP1 and reaches the reflecting surface RF1 along a first optical axis OA1. The reflecting surface RF1 deflects the optical path from the first optical axis OA1 to a second optical axis OA2, and the optical path then passes the second light-transmitting surface LP2, passes through the lens group LG and the filter FT, and finally reaches the image surface IMG along the second optical axis OA2. As shown in Fig. 18, both the first light-transmitting surface LP1 and the second light-transmitting surface LP2 of the reflective element LF may be planar.
[0044] In Fig. 19, the reflective element LF is a flat reflecting mirror with a reflecting surface RF1. The beam path reaches the reflecting surface RF1 along a first optical axis OA1. The reflecting surface RF1 deflects the beam path from the first optical axis OA1 to a second optical axis OA2. The beam path then passes through the lens group LG and the filter FT and finally reaches the image surface IMG along the second optical axis OA2.
[0045] In Fig.20, the reflecting element LF is a prism and has, in series along a propagation direction of the light on the optical path, a first light-transmitting surface LP1, a reflecting surface RF1, and a second light-transmitting surface LP2. The light path enters the reflecting element LF through the first light-transmitting surface LP1 and reaches the reflecting surface RF1 along a first optical axis OA1. The reflecting surface RF1 deflects the light path from the first optical axis OA1 to a second optical axis OA2, and the light path then passes the second light-transmitting surface LP2, passes through the lens group LG and the filter FT, and finally reaches the image surface IMG along the second optical axis OA2. As shown in Fig.20, both the first light-transmitting surface LP1 and the second light-transmitting surface LP2 of the reflective element LF may be curved.
[0046] See also Fig. 21 and Fig. 22, each showing a schematic view of a configuration of two reflective elements in an imaging lens system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As in Fig. 21 and Fig.As shown in Figure 22, the imaging lens system may include, in order from an imaged object (not shown in the figures) to an image surface IMG along a moving direction of a light path, a first reflective element LF1, a lens group LG, a filter FT, a second reflective element LF2, and the image surface IMG. The light path enters the first reflective element LF1 and reaches the first reflective surface RF1 along a first optical axis OA1, and the first reflective surface RF1 deflects the light path from the first optical axis OA1 to a second optical axis OA2. The light path passes through the lens group LG and the filter FT along the second optical axis OA2.The beam then enters the second reflective element LF2 and reaches the second reflective surface RF2 along the second optical axis OA2. The second reflective surface RF2 deflects the beam from the second optical axis OA2 to a third optical axis OA3. The beam finally reaches the image surface IMG along the third optical axis OA3. Fig. 21, each of the first reflecting elements LF1 and the second reflecting elements LF2 may be a prism. In Fig. 22, the first reflecting element LF1 and the second reflecting element LF2 may be a prism and a flat reflecting mirror, respectively.
[0047] According to the present disclosure, the first lens group cannot exhibit any relative movement with respect to the at least one reflective surface during the zooming or focusing process. Therefore, it is advantageous to prevent expansion or contraction of the overall lens structure of the imaging lens system toward or away from the object side due to the zooming or focusing process, thereby improving the operability and robustness of the lens and simplifying its optical design and mechanism.
[0048] According to the present disclosure, the image surface can move along a direction parallel to the optical axis during the zooming or focusing process. Therefore, focus adjustment for each of the zooms in photography and close focusing can be achieved by moving the image surface along the optical axis, thereby increasing the light convergence quality in various photography scenarios.
[0049] When a focal length of the imaging lens system in the first state with a long focal point end is fLf and a focal length of the imaging lens system in the first state with a short focal point end is fSf, the following condition can be satisfied: 1.20 < fLf / fSf < 2.00. Therefore, this is beneficial for increasing the optical zoom ratio, thereby improving the photography quality in medium to long range photography. In addition, the following condition can also be satisfied: 1.10 < fLf / fSf < 1.70. In addition, the following condition can also be satisfied: 1.20 < fLf / fSf < 1.70. In addition, the following condition can also be satisfied: 1.10 < fLf / fSf < 1.40. In addition, the following condition can also be satisfied: 1.20 < fLf / fSf < 1.40. In addition, the following condition can also be met: 1.33 ≤ fLf / fSf ≤ 1.34.
[0050] When a focal length of the first lens group is fG1 and a focal length of the second lens group is fG2, the following condition can be satisfied: -0.80 < fG1 / fG2 < -0.20. Therefore, it is advantageous to adjust the refractive power distributions of the first lens group and the second lens group so that light can be converged, thereby controlling the viewing angle of the photograph while increasing the amount of incident light. In addition, the following condition can also be satisfied: -0.70 < fG1 / fG2 < -0.30. In addition, the following condition can also be satisfied: -0.60 < fG1 / fG2 < -0.40. In addition, the following condition can also be satisfied: -0.51 ≤ fG1 / fG2 ≤ -0.47.
[0051] When the radius of curvature of the image-side surface of the third lens element is R6 and the radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the fourth lens element is R7, the following condition can be satisfied: -2.00 < R6 / R7 < -0.65. Therefore, it is advantageous to control the light distribution state and the light convergence ability between the image-side surface of the third lens element and the object-side surface of the fourth lens element, thereby controlling the light emission angle on the image-side surface of the third lens element and the light incidence angle on the object-side surface of the fourth lens element, and reducing the sensitivity of the imaging lens system. In addition, the following condition can also be satisfied: -1.60 < R6 / R7 < -0.65. In addition, the following condition can also be satisfied: -1.30 < R6 / R7 < -0.70.

[0072] According to the present disclosure, the above features and conditions can be used in numerous combinations to achieve corresponding effects.
[0073] According to the present disclosure, the lens elements of the imaging lens system can be made of either glass or plastic material. When the lens elements are made of glass material, the refractive power distribution of the imaging lens system can be more flexible, and the influence on imaging caused by a change in ambient temperature can be reduced. The glass lens element can be manufactured either by grinding or molding. When the lens elements are made of plastic material, the manufacturing cost can be effectively reduced. Furthermore, surfaces of each of the lens elements can be arranged to be spherical or aspherical. Spherical lens elements are easy to manufacture.The design of aspherical lens elements allows for more control variables to eliminate aberrations and reduce the required number of lens elements, effectively shortening the overall path length of the imaging lens system. Additionally, the aspherical surfaces can be formed by plastic injection molding or glass molding.
[0074] According to the present disclosure, when a lens surface is aspherical, it means that the lens surface has an aspherical shape in its entire optically effective area or one or more portions thereof.
[0075] According to the present disclosure, the material of one or more lens elements may optionally include an additive that creates light absorption and interference effects and modifies the transmittance of the lens elements in a specific wavelength range to reduce unwanted stray light or color variations. For example, the additive may optionally filter out light in the wavelength range of 600 nm to 800 nm to reduce excessive red light and / or near-infrared light, or optionally filter out light in the wavelength range of 350 nm to 450 nm to prevent excessive blue light and / or near-ultraviolet light from interfering with the final image. The additive may be homogeneously blended with a plastic material used to manufacture a blended-material lens element by injection molding. Furthermore, the additive may be applied to the lens surfaces to achieve the aforementioned effects.
[0076] According to the present disclosure, each of the object-side surfaces and the image-side surfaces has a paraxial region and an off-axis region. The paraxial region refers to the region of the surface where light rays travel close to the optical axis, and the off-axis region refers to the region of the surface far from the paraxial region. Specifically, unless otherwise specified, when the lens element has a convex surface, it means that the surface is convex in the paraxial region thereof; when the lens element has a concave surface, it means that the surface is concave in the paraxial region thereof. When a portion of the refractive power or focal point of a lens element is undefined, it means that the portion of the refractive power or focal point of the lens element lies in its paraxial region.
[0077] According to the present disclosure, an inflection point is a point on the surface of the lens element where the surface changes from concave to convex, or vice versa. A critical point is an off-axial point on the lens surface where its tangent is perpendicular to the optical axis.
[0078] According to the present disclosure, the image surface of the imaging lens system may be flat or curved based on the corresponding image sensor, wherein in particular a curved surface is concavely facing the object side of the imaging lens system.
[0079] According to the present disclosure, an image correction unit, such as a field flattener, can optionally be arranged between the lens element located along the optical path closest to the image side of the imaging lens system and the image surface to correct aberrations such as field curvature. The optical properties of the image correction unit, such as curvature, thickness, refractive index, position, and surface shape (convex or concave surface with spherical, aspherical, diffractive, or Fresnel types), can be adjusted according to the design of the image acquisition unit. In general, a preferred image correction unit is, for example, a thin transparent element having a concave object-side surface and a planar image-side surface, and the thin transparent element is arranged near the image surface.
[0080] According to the present disclosure, the imaging lens system may include at least one diaphragm, such as an aperture diaphragm, a glare diaphragm, or a field diaphragm. The glare diaphragm or the field diaphragm may be disposed between an imaged object and the first lens element, between adjacent lens elements, or between the last lens element and the image surface, and is configured to eliminate stray light and thereby improve the image quality thereof.
[0081] According to the present disclosure, an aperture stop can be configured as a front stop or a center stop. A front stop disposed between an imaged object and the first lens element can provide a greater distance between an exit pupil of the imaging lens system and the image surface to create a telecentric effect, thereby improving the image sensor efficiency of an image sensor (e.g., CCD or CMOS). A center stop disposed between the first lens element and the image surface is advantageous for increasing the viewing angle of the imaging lens system, thereby providing a wider field of view for the same.
[0082] According to the present disclosure, the imaging lens system may include an aperture control unit. The aperture control unit may be a mechanical component or a light modulator that can control the size and shape of the aperture through electricity or electrical signals. The mechanical component may include a movable element, such as a diaphragm assembly or a light-shielding film. The light modulator may include a shielding element, such as a filter, an electrochromic material, or a liquid crystal layer. The aperture control unit controls the amount of incident light or the exposure time to enhance the ability to adjust image quality. Furthermore, the aperture control unit may be the aperture stop of the present disclosure, which changes the f-number to achieve various imaging effects, such as depth of field or lens sensitivity.
[0083] According to the present disclosure, the imaging lens system may include one or more optical elements for limiting the shape of the light passing through the imaging lens system. Each of the optical elements may be, for example, a filter, a polarizer, etc., and each of the optical elements may be, for example, a single-piece element, a composite component, a thin film, etc. The optical element may be disposed on the object side or the image side of the imaging lens system, or between any two adjacent lens elements, to transmit light in a specific shape and thereby meet application requirements.
[0084] According to the present disclosure, the imaging lens system may include at least one optical lens element, an optical element, or a substrate having at least one surface with a low-reflection layer. The low-reflection layer can effectively reduce stray light resulting from light reflection at the interface. The reflection-reducing layer may be disposed in an optically ineffective region of an object-side surface or an image-side surface of the optical lens element, or a connecting surface between the object-side surface and the image-side surface. The optical element may be a light-blocking element, an annular spacer element, a tube element, a cover glass, a blue glass, a filter, a color filter, a light-path deflecting element, a prism, a mirror, etc.The carrier may be a base for holding a lens assembly, a microlens disposed on an image sensor, a substrate surrounding the image sensor, a glass plate for protecting the image sensor, etc.
[0085] According to the present disclosure, the imaging lens system may further include a light-blocking element. The light-blocking element may have a non-circular opening, and the non-circular opening may have different effective radii in different directions perpendicular to the optical axis. Therefore, it is advantageous to coordinate with the shape of non-circular lens elements or aperture stops to effectively save space and fully utilize the light passing through the non-circular lens elements or aperture stops, thereby reducing stray light. Furthermore, the light-blocking element may be provided with a wave-like structure or a serrated structure on a periphery of an inner hole portion thereof.
[0086] According to the present disclosure, the object side and the image side are defined according to the direction of the optical axis, and the axial optical data is calculated along the optical axis. Furthermore, when the optical axis is deflected by a light deflecting element, the axial optical data is also calculated along the deflected optical axis.

When an imaged object at the infinite object distance moves to the finite object distance, the imaging lens system performs a focusing process to change the first state to the second state thereof.

[0131] In Table 1C, k represents the conicity coefficient of the aspherical surface profile equation. A4-A28 represent the aspherical coefficients ranging from the 4th to the 28th order. The tables shown below for each embodiment are the corresponding schematic parameter and aberration curves, and the definitions of the tables are the same as in Table 1A to Table 1C of the first embodiment. Therefore, no further explanation is given in this regard. 2. Embodiment
[0132] Fig.4 is a schematic view of an image acquisition unit in each of a first short focal end state and a first long focal end state according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 5 shows, in order from left to right, spherical aberration curves, astigmatic field curves, and a distortion curve of the image pickup unit in the first state with a short focal point end according to the second embodiment. Fig. Fig. 6 shows, in order from left to right, spherical aberration curves, astigmatic field curves, and a distortion curve of the image pickup unit in the first state with a long focal point end according to the second embodiment. The upper part of Fig. 4 shows the imaging lens system in the first state with short focal point end, and the lower part of Fig. 4 shows the imaging lens system in the first state with a long focal point end. In Fig.4, the image acquisition unit 2 includes the imaging system (the reference numeral of which is omitted) of the present disclosure and an image sensor IS. The imaging lens system includes, in order from an object side to an image side along a light path, a reflective element LF, a stop S1, a first lens element E1, an aperture stop ST, a second lens element E2, a third lens element E3, a stop S2, a stop S3, a fourth lens element E4, a fifth lens element E5, a sixth lens element E6, a filter E7, and an image surface IMG. Further, the imaging lens system includes, in order from the object side to the image side along the light path, a first lens group G1 and a second lens group G2.The first lens group G1 includes the first lens element E1, the second lens element E2, and the third lens element E3, and the second lens group G2 includes the fourth lens element E4, the fifth lens element E5, and the sixth lens element E6. The imaging lens system includes six lens elements (E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, and E6) with no additional lens element disposed between each of the adjacent six lens elements.
[0133] The imaging lens system has a first state corresponding to an infinite object distance and a second state corresponding to a finite object distance. The first state refers to a state of the imaging lens system with an imaged object at an infinite distance (the infinite object distance), and the second state refers to a state of the imaging lens system with an imaged object at a finite distance (the finite object distance). When an imaged object at the infinite object distance moves to the finite object distance, the imaging lens system performs a focusing process to change the first state to the second state thereof. Conversely, when an imaged object at the finite object distance moves to the infinite object distance, the imaging lens system also performs the focusing process to change the second state to the first state thereof.Furthermore, during the focusing process of the imaging lens system, the first lens group G1 has no relative movement with respect to a reflective surface of the reflective element LF, the second lens group G2 moves along a direction parallel to an optical axis with respect to the first lens group G1, and the image surface IMG moves along a direction parallel to the optical axis. Note that during the focusing process, no relative movement occurs between any two lens elements of each of the first lens group and the second lens group of the two lens groups.
[0134] The imaging lens system in the first state has a first long focal point state corresponding to a long focal point end and a first short focal point state corresponding to a short focal point end during a zooming operation. When the imaging lens system changes its first long focal point state to the first short focal point state during the zooming operation, the second lens group G2 moves along a direction parallel to the optical axis toward the image side with respect to the first lens group G1. Conversely, when the imaging lens system changes its first short focal point state to the first long focal point state during the zooming operation, the second lens group G2 moves along a direction parallel to the optical axis toward the object side with respect to the first lens group G1. As shown in Fig. 4, the upper part of Fig.4 the imaging lens system in the first state with short focal point end, and the lower part of Fig.4 shows the imaging lens system in the first long focal point state. Similarly, in the second state, the imaging lens system has a second long focal point state corresponding to the long focal point and a second short focal point state corresponding to the short focal point during the focusing process. Furthermore, during the zooming operation of the imaging lens system, the first lens group G1 has no relative movement with respect to the reflective surface of the reflective element LF, the second lens group G2 moves along a direction parallel to the optical axis with respect to the first lens group G1, and the image surface IMG moves along a direction parallel to the optical axis.It should be noted that during the zooming operation, there is no relative movement between any two lens elements of each of the first lens group and the second lens group of the two lens groups.
[0135] The first lens element E1 with negative refractive power has an object-side surface that is convex in a paraxial region thereof and an image-side surface that is concave in a paraxial region thereof.

The object-side surface of the first lens element E1 has an inflection point in an off-axis region thereof. The image-side surface of the first lens element E1 has an inflection point in an off-axis region thereof. The object-side surface of the first lens element E1 has a critical point in the off-axis region thereof. The image-side surface of the first lens element E1 has a critical point in the off-axis region thereof.
[0136] The second lens element E2 with negative refractive power has an object-side surface that is concave in a paraxial region thereof and an image-side surface that is concave in a paraxial region thereof. The second lens element E2 is made of plastic material and has both the object-side surface and the image-side surface aspherical. The image-side surface of the second lens element E2 has two inflection points in an off-axis region thereof. The image-side surface of the second lens element E2 has a critical point in the off-axis region thereof.
[0137] The third lens element E3 with positive refractive power has an object-side surface that is convex in a paraxial region thereof and an image-side surface that is convex in a paraxial region thereof. The third lens element E3 is made of glass material and has both the object-side and image-side surfaces aspherical. The object-side surface of the third lens element E3 has two inflection points in an off-axis region thereof.
[0138] The fourth lens element E4 with positive refractive power has an object-side surface that is convex in a paraxial region thereof and an image-side surface that is convex in a paraxial region thereof. The fourth lens element E4 is made of plastic material and has both the object-side surface and the image-side surface aspherical. The object-side surface of the fourth lens element E4 has one inflection point in an off-axis region thereof. The image-side surface of the fourth lens element E4 has three inflection points in an off-axis region thereof. The image-side surface of the fourth lens element E4 has two critical points in the off-axis region thereof.
[0139] The fifth lens element E5 with negative refractive power has an object-side surface that is concave in a paraxial region thereof and an image-side surface that is concave in a paraxial region thereof. The fifth lens element E5 is made of plastic material and has the object-side surface and the image-side surface both aspherical. The object-side surface of the fifth lens element E5 has three inflection points in an off-axis region thereof. The image-side surface of the fifth lens element E5 has one inflection point in an off-axis region thereof. The object-side surface of the fifth lens element E5 has one critical point in the off-axis region thereof. The image-side surface of the fifth lens element E5 has one critical point in the off-axis region thereof.
[0140] The sixth lens element E6 with negative refractive power has an object-side surface that is convex in a paraxial region thereof and an image-side surface that is concave in a paraxial region thereof. The sixth lens element E6 is made of plastic material and has both the object-side surface and the image-side surface aspherical. The object-side surface of the sixth lens element E6 has an inflection point in an off-axis region thereof. The image-side surface of the sixth lens element E6 has two inflection points in an off-axis region thereof. The object-side surface of the sixth lens element E6 has a critical point in the off-axis region thereof.
[0141] The reflective element LF is made of glass material. The reflective element LF is arranged between an imaged object and the first lens group G1 (it can also be assumed that the reflective element LF is arranged on the object side of the first lens element E1). The reflective element LF has no influence on the focal length of the imaging lens system. The reflective element LF is a prism that deflects the optical path. For the sake of simplicity, the reflected light produced by the reflective element LF is Fig.4 is omitted. The reflective element LF has an object-side surface and an image-side surface, both of which are planar, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The reflective element LF may have various shapes to achieve different deflection effects on the ray path. For example, the reflective element LF of the second embodiment may be the reflective element LF shown in Fig. 18 to Fig. 20, which deflects the beam path once, whereby the reflecting surface RF1 of the reflecting element LF deflects the first axis OA1 into the second optical axis OA2. The details can be found in the description of Fig. 18 to Fig. 20, which will not be repeated again.
[0142] The filter E7 is made of glass and is located between the sixth lens element E6 and the image surface IMG. It does not affect the focal length of the imaging lens system. The image sensor IS is located on or near the image surface IMG.
[0143] In the imaging system of the image sensing unit 2 according to the second embodiment, a lens element having the maximum central thickness of the imaging lens system is the third lens element E3.

[0145] In Table 2B, the optical data is the same as that of the first embodiment.

[0149] Fig. 7 is a schematic view of an image acquisition unit in each of a first short focal end state and a first long focal end state according to the third embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 8 shows, in order from left to right, spherical aberration curves, astigmatic field curves, and a distortion curve of the image pickup unit in the first state with a short focal point end according to the third embodiment. Fig. Fig. 9 shows, in order from left to right, spherical aberration curves, astigmatic field curves, and a distortion curve of the image pickup unit in the first state with a long focal point end according to the third embodiment. The upper part of Fig.7 shows the imaging lens system in the first state with short focal point end, and the lower part of Fig. Figure 7 shows the imaging lens system in the first state with a long focal point end. Fig.7, the image acquisition unit 3 includes the imaging lens system (the reference numeral of which is omitted) of the present disclosure and an image sensor IS. The imaging lens system includes, in order from an object side to an image side along a light path, a reflective element LF, a stop S1, a first lens element E1, a second lens element E2, a third lens element E3, an aperture stop ST, a stop S2, a fourth lens element E4, a fifth lens element E5, a sixth lens element E6, a filter E7, and an image surface IMG. Further, the imaging lens system includes, in order from the object side to the image side along the light path, a first lens group G1 and a second lens group G2.The first lens group G1 includes the first lens element E1, the second lens element E2, and the third lens element E3, and the second lens group G2 includes the fourth lens element E4, the fifth lens element E5, and the sixth lens element E6. The imaging lens system includes six lens elements (E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, and E6) with no additional lens element disposed between each of the adjacent six lens elements.
[0150] The imaging lens system has a first state corresponding to an infinite object distance and a second state corresponding to a finite object distance. The first state refers to a state of the imaging lens system with an imaged object at an infinite distance (the infinite object distance), and the second state refers to a state of the imaging lens system with an imaged object at a finite distance (the finite object distance). When an imaged object at the infinite object distance moves to the finite object distance, the imaging lens system performs a focusing process to change the first state to the second state thereof. Conversely, when an imaged object at the finite object distance moves to the infinite object distance, the imaging lens system also performs the focusing process to change the second state to the first state thereof.Furthermore, during the focusing process of the imaging lens system, the first lens group G1 has no relative movement with respect to a reflective surface of the reflective element LF, the second lens group G2 moves along a direction parallel to an optical axis with respect to the first lens group G1, and the image surface IMG moves along a direction parallel to the optical axis. Note that during the zooming operation, there is no relative movement between any two lens elements of each of the first lens group and the second lens group of the two lens groups.
[0151] The imaging lens system in the first state has a first long focal point state corresponding to a long focal point end and a first short focal point state corresponding to a short focal point end during a zooming operation. When the imaging lens system changes from its first long focal point state to the first short focal point state during the zooming operation, the second lens group G2 moves along a direction parallel to the optical axis toward the image side with respect to the first lens group G1. Conversely, when the imaging lens system changes from its first short focal point state to the first long focal point state during the zooming operation, the second lens group G2 moves along a direction parallel to the optical axis toward the object side with respect to the first lens group G1. As shown in Fig. 7, the upper part of Fig.7 the imaging lens system in the first state with short focal point end, and the lower part of Fig.7 shows the imaging lens system in the first long focal point end state. Similarly, in the second state, the imaging lens system has a second long focal point end state corresponding to the long focal point end and a second short focal point end state corresponding to the short focal point end during the zooming operation. Furthermore, during the zooming operation of the imaging lens system, the first lens group G1 has no relative movement with respect to the reflecting surface of the reflecting element LF, the second lens group G2 moves along a direction parallel to the optical axis with respect to the first lens group G1, and the image surface IMG moves along a direction parallel to the optical axis.It should be noted that during the zooming operation, there is no relative movement between any two lens elements of each of the first lens group and the second lens group of the two lens groups.

[0158] The reflective element LF is made of glass material. The reflective element LF is arranged between an imaged object and the first lens group G1 (it can also be assumed that the reflective element LF is arranged on an object side of the first lens element E1). The reflective element LF has no influence on the focal length of the imaging lens system. The reflective element LF is a prism that performs a light path deflection function. For the sake of simplicity, the light path deflected by the reflective element LF is Fig. 7 generated beam path deflection effect is omitted.

In this embodiment, an image acquisition unit 100 is a camera module including a lens unit 101, a drive device 102, an image sensor 103, and an image stabilizer 104. The lens unit 101 includes the imaging lens system disclosed in the first embodiment, a barrel, and a holding member (the reference numerals of which are omitted) for holding the imaging lens system. However, the lens unit 101 may alternatively be provided with the imaging lens system disclosed in other embodiments of the present disclosure, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.The imaging light is converged in the lens unit 101 of the image acquisition unit 100 to form an image with the drive device 102 used to focus the image onto the image sensor 103, and the formed image is then digitally transmitted to another electronic component for further processing.
[0167] The drive device 102 can have autofocus functionality, and different drive configurations can be achieved through the use of voice coil motors (VCMs), microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), piezoelectric systems, or shape memory alloy materials. The drive device 102 can include a guide element, which can be spherical or rod-shaped. The guide element helps reduce the movement resistance of the movable lens group during the zooming or focusing process. The drive device 102 is advantageous for obtaining a better imaging position of the lens unit 101, so that a clear image of the imaged object can be captured by the lens unit 101 at different object distances.The image sensor 103 (e.g., CCD or CMOS), which may have high light sensitivity and low noise, is arranged on the image surface of the imaging lens system to achieve higher image quality. The image sensor 103 can also be moved in three dimensions relative to a base, so that focus can be achieved by moving the image sensor 103.
[0168] The image stabilizer 104, such as an accelerometer, a gyro sensor, and a Hall-effect sensor, is configured to cooperate with the drive device 102 to provide optical image stabilization (OIS). The drive device 102, which cooperates with the image stabilizer 104, is advantageous for compensating for the pan and tilt movement of the lens unit 101 to reduce motion blur during exposure. In some cases, compensation can be provided by electronic image stabilization (EIS) using image processing software, thereby improving image quality in motion or low-light conditions. 5. Embodiment

In this embodiment, the image capture units 100, 100a, and 100b have different fields of view, so that the electronic device 200 can have different magnification ratios to meet the requirement of an optical zoom function. In addition, the maximum field of view of the image capture unit 100 ranges from 3 degrees to 35 degrees, and the maximum field of view of the image capture unit 100a ranges from 35 degrees to 70 degrees. Therefore, it is advantageous to have a relatively large zoom ratio of the electronic device 200 to expand its application areas. In addition, the image capture unit 100c, as shown in Fig. 12, have a non-circular opening, and the lens cylinder or lens elements in the image sensing unit 100c may have one or more cut edges at outer positions thereof to correspond with the non-circular opening. Therefore, it is advantageous to further reduce the length of the image sensing unit 100c along a single axis, thereby reducing the overall size of the lens, increasing the area ratio of the display unit 201 with respect to the electronic device 200, reducing the thickness of the electronic device 200, and achieving compactness of the overall module.
