[0026] To further clarify the object, technical solution, and advantages of the present invention, each embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those skilled in the art will understand that each embodiment of the present invention presents many technical details to help the reader better understand the invention. However, the technical solution for which the present invention seeks protection can be achieved without these technical details and the various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments.
[0027] Referring to the drawings, the technical solution of the present invention provides imaging optical lenses 10, 20, 30, and 40. Figures 1, 5, 9, and 13 show the imaging optical lenses 10, 20, 30, and 40 of the present invention, which include seven lenses. Specifically, the imaging optical lens is configured in the following order from the object side to the image side: first lens L1, second lens L2, aperture S1, third lens L3, fourth lens L4, fifth lens L5, sixth lens L6, and seventh lens L7. An optical element such as an optical filter GF may be provided between the seventh lens L7 and the image plane Si.
[0028] The first lens L1 is made of glass, the second lens L2 is made of glass, the third lens L3 is made of glass, the fourth lens L4 is made of glass, the fifth lens L5 is made of glass, the sixth lens L6 is made of glass, and the seventh lens L7 is made of glass. Each lens may be made of other materials.
[0029] The first lens L1 has a negative refractive power, the second lens L2 has a negative refractive power, the third lens L3 has a positive refractive power, the fourth lens L4 has a positive refractive power, the fifth lens L5 has a positive refractive power, the sixth lens L6 has a negative refractive power, and the seventh lens L7 has a positive refractive power. Each lens may have other refractive powers in any other embodiment.
[0030] The object and image surfaces of the first lens L1, third lens L3, fourth lens L4, fifth lens L5, and sixth lens L6 are all spherical, while the object and image surfaces of the second lens L2 and seventh lens L7 are all aspherical.
[0031] The focal length of the imaging optical lens is defined as f, and the focal length of the first lens L1 is defined as f, satisfying the relationship -1.30 ≤ f1 / f ≤ -1.00, which defines the value of the ratio of the focal length of the first lens L1 to the focal length of the imaging optical lens. By rationally distributing the focal power of the system, the amount of field curvature of the imaging optical lens is effectively balanced, and the amount of field curvature offset in the central field of view is made smaller than 0.01 mm.
[0032] The on-axis distance from the image side of the second lens L2 to the object side of the third lens L3 is defined as d4, and the total optical length of the imaging optical lens is defined as TTL. The relationship 0.02 ≤ d4 / TTL ≤ 0.06 is satisfied, and a value is defined for the ratio of the on-axis distance between the second lens L2 and the third lens L3, which is close to the aperture, to the total optical length. If it is higher than the lower limit, it helps in the smooth transition of light rays near the aperture and helps in improving image quality, and if it is lower than the upper limit, it helps in the control of the total optical length.
[0033] The refractive index of the second lens L2 is n2, and the relationship n2 ≥ 1.70 is satisfied. The tip lens is preferentially selected from high refractive index materials, which helps to reduce the tip aperture and improve image quality.
[0034] The on-axial distance from the image side to the image plane of the seventh lens L7, i.e., the back focus length, is defined as BFL, and the relationship 0.10 ≤ BFL / TTL ≤ 0.30 is satisfied. In order to achieve miniaturization, a long back focus is helpful for module assembly, the total optical length is short, the structure is compact, the sensitivity of the lens to MTF is reduced, the yield rate of good products is improved, and production costs are reduced.
[0035] When the above relationship is satisfied, the imaging optical lenses 10, 20, 30, and 40 have good optical performance and can meet the design requirements for large aperture and wide angle. Based on the characteristics of the imaging optical lenses 10, 20, 30, and 40, they are particularly suitable for web imaging lenses and automotive lenses composed of image sensors such as CCDs and CMOSs for high pixel counts.

[0092] Table 11 shows the numerical values corresponding to each relation in the comparative example, according to the relation described above. It is clear that the imaging optical lens 60 in the comparative example does not satisfy the relation -1.3 ≤ f1 / f ≤ -1 described above, and therefore has a low imaging effect.
[0093] In this embodiment, the imaging optical lens 50 has an entrance pupil diameter (ENPD) of 2.405 mm, a total field of view height (IH) of 4.400 mm, and a diagonal field of view (FOV) of 129.20°. Therefore, the imaging optical lens 50 does not meet the design requirements for a large aperture and wide angle. On-axis and off-axis chromatic aberration are sufficiently corrected, and it has excellent optical characteristics. [Table 11] JPEG2026524734000012.jpg148149
