[0005] [Patent Document 1] Special Publication No. 2017-513034 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0013] Hereinafter, an imaging lens, an imaging device, and an information processing device according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments. Also, each drawing referred to in the following description merely shows the shape, size, and positional relationship in a schematic manner to the extent that the contents of the present disclosure can be understood. That is, the present disclosure is not limited to only the shape, size, and positional relationship exemplified in each drawing. Also, the same parts are given the same reference numerals, and detailed description will be omitted.

[0014] [Embodiment Mode] 1, 3 and 5 are cross-sectional views showing the lens configurations of the imaging lenses of Embodiments 1 to 4. In each cross-sectional view, the left side is the object side (front) and the right side is the image side (rear).

[0015] The imaging lens 100 of each embodiment includes a first lens L1, a second lens L2, a third lens L3, a fourth lens L4, and a fifth lens L5, which are arranged in this order from the object side to the image side. Furthermore, the imaging lens 100 includes an aperture stop S(STOP) arranged between the first lens L1 and the second lens L2.

[0016] In addition, in Fig. 1, Fig. 3, Fig. 5 and Fig. 7, the reference characters 1 to 11 attached to any of the first lens L1 to the fifth lens L5 and the aperture stop S represent the surfaces of the respective lenses or the aperture. Hereinafter, these surfaces are successively referred to as surfaces 1 to 11 from the object side to the image side. Surface 3 is the surface of the aperture stop S. Furthermore, in Fig. 1, Fig. 3, Fig. 5 and Fig. 7, the reference character CG represents a transparent parallel plate equivalent to a cover glass of a solid-state imaging element and at least one or more of various filters. The entrance side of the transparent parallel plate CG is referred to as surface 12, and the image side is referred to as surface 13.

[0017] The imaging lens 100 is composed of a negative first group consisting of only the first lens L1, and a negative or positive second group consisting of the second lens L2 to the fifth lens L5. By disposing an aperture stop S between the first lens L1 and the second lens L2, which are away from the image plane, the imaging lens 100 can ensure a sufficient distance between the exit pupil and the image plane, thereby achieving good telecentricity on the image side and facilitating correction of spherical aberration and coma aberration.

[0018] The first lens L1 is a positive lens whose object-side surface is convex and has a large thickness deviation ratio (aspect ratio), and whose object-side surface has an inflection point at its periphery. Here, the thickness deviation ratio is approximately 0.4 to 0.6. The periphery of the object-side surface refers to a region that includes approximately 90% of the aperture of the first lens L1 on the surface 1 side from the center (optical axis) toward the outer edge.

[0019] The second lens L2 is configured using a positive lens having convex surfaces on both the object side and the image side.

[0020] The third lens L3 is configured using a negative lens whose surface on the object side is at least a concave surface.

[0021] The fourth lens L4 has a convex surface on the image side and is configured using a positive convex meniscus lens with a small thickness deviation ratio.

[0022] The fifth lens L5 is configured using a negative lens whose object-side surface is a convex surface with a large thickness deviation ratio, whose object-side surface has an inflection point at its periphery, and whose image-side surface is a concave surface with an inflection point at its periphery. Here, the thickness deviation ratio is approximately 0.7 to 1.1. The peripheral part of the object-side surface refers to a region including approximately 90% of the aperture of the fifth lens L5 on the surface 10 side from the center (optical axis) toward the outer edge. The peripheral part of the image-side surface refers to a region including approximately 90% of the aperture of the fifth lens L5 on the surface 11 side from the center (optical axis) toward the outer edge.

[0023] The first lens L1 to the fifth lens L5 thus configured are all aspheric lenses, each characterized by its aspheric shape. Furthermore, by making the first lens L1 and the fifth lens L5 have a shape with an inflection point, it is possible to highly correct aberrations while keeping the thickness (total length) of the imaging lens 100 in the light direction thin. Furthermore, the fifth lens L5 has a thickness deviation ratio of 0.7 to 1.1, which makes it possible to reduce the manufacturing error sensitivity of the imaging lens 100.

[0024] 2, 4, and 6 are longitudinal aberration diagrams of the imaging lens 100 of the first to third embodiments, respectively. The spherical aberration diagrams show the amount of spherical aberration for each of the d-line (yellow: wavelength 587.6 nm), g-line (blue: wavelength 435.8 nm), and C-line (red: 653.3 nm). In the astigmatism diagrams, the solid line S shows the amount of astigmatism on the sagittal image plane, and the dashed line T shows the amount of astigmatism on the tangential image plane. Furthermore, the distortion diagrams show the amount of distortion only for the d-line. Also, Angle (deg) shows the imaging half angle of view (°).

[0025] Next, the conditions of the imaging lens 100 in each embodiment will be described. The imaging lens 100 in each embodiment satisfies the following conditions (1) and (2), when the focal length of the first lens L1 is f1, the focal length of the fifth lens L5 is f5, and the composite focal length of the lens on the image side from the aperture stop S is G2. 2.0 <f1 / f5<10.5 ···(1) 2.5<|f1 / G2|<9.0 (2)

[0026] The condition (1) is a condition for balancing the negative power of the first lens L1 and the negative power of the fifth lens L5.

[0027] If f1 / f5 is equal to or less than the lower limit of condition (1), the astigmatism tends to be excessive, and distortion and coma also occur significantly, making it difficult to achieve the desired performance.If f1 / f5 is equal to or more than the upper limit of condition (1), the spherical aberration tends to be excessive, destroying the balance with the astigmatism and making it difficult to achieve the desired performance.

[0028] The condition (2) is a condition for achieving a balance between the negative power of the first lens L1 and the composite positive power of the second lens group, which is the lens on the image side of the aperture stop S.

[0029] When |f1 / G2| is equal to or less than the lower limit of condition (2), the negative power of the first lens L1 becomes relatively large compared to the composite power of the second group (second lens L2 to fifth lens L5), so that astigmatism becomes excessive, distortion becomes strongly barrel-shaped, and coma tends to be overcorrected. On the other hand, when |f1 / G2| is equal to or more than the upper limit of condition (2), the negative power of the first lens L1 becomes relatively small compared to the composite power of the second group, so that the balance between spherical aberration and astigmatism tends to be lost.

[0030] That is, when the imaging lens 100 satisfies the conditions (1) and (2), it is possible to achieve a balance between spherical aberration and astigmatism, and to realize a bright, high-performance, and small (compact) imaging lens 100. Here, "small size" means reducing the thickness of the imaging lens 100 by shortening the overall length of the imaging lens 100 in the optical axis direction, and reducing the aperture of the imaging lens 100.

[0031] Furthermore, the imaging lens 100 of each embodiment satisfies condition (3) when the refractive index of the material of the first lens L1 to the d-line is N1 and the refractive index of the material of the fifth lens L5 to the d-line is N5. N1 <N5 ···(3)

[0032] The condition (3) specifies the relationship between the refractive index N1 of the material of the first lens L1 and the refractive index N5 of the material of the fifth lens L5.

[0033] The first lens L1 is a negative lens, and must have a large negative refractive power in order to fully exert the retrofocus function. In the present disclosure, the first lens L1 is made of a material having a refractive index N1 smaller than the refractive index N5 of the fifth lens L5, and the desired retrofocus function with good chromatic aberration can be realized by satisfying the condition (3).

[0034] In the imaging lens 100 of each embodiment, the refractive index N1 of the material of the first lens L1 with respect to the d-line satisfies the condition (4). 1.49 <N1<1.55 ···(4)

[0035] If the refractive index N1 is equal to or less than the lower limit of condition (4), the optical performance is further improved, but the cost increases, which is not preferable. Also, if the refractive index N1 is equal to or greater than the upper limit of condition (4), the optical performance is affected by chromatic aberration, which is not preferable. Therefore, by making the imaging lens 100 satisfy condition (4), a balance between cost and chromatic aberration can be achieved, and a bright, high-performance, and small (compact) imaging lens 100 can be realized.

[0036] In the imaging lens 100 of each embodiment, the refractive index N5 of the material of the fifth lens L5 with respect to the d-line satisfies the condition (5). 1.63 <N5<1.67 ···(5)

[0037] If the refractive index N5 is equal to or lower than the lower limit of the condition (5), or if the refractive index N5 is equal to or higher than the upper limit of the condition (5), the balance of chromatic aberration is lost. In consideration of the balance between cost and chromatic aberration, satisfying the condition (5) makes it possible to realize a bright, high-performance, and compact imaging lens 100.

[0038] Furthermore, the imaging lens 100 of each embodiment satisfies condition (6), where the focal length of the entire optical system (imaging lens 100) is f and the overall length of the optical system (in the longitudinal direction of imaging lens 100) is OAL. 0.25 <f / OAL<0.45 ···(6)

[0039] Condition (6) is a condition for achieving a balance between the focal length f of the entire optical system and the total length OAL.

[0040] In imaging lens 100 of each embodiment, if f / OAL is equal to or less than the lower limit of condition (6), a wider angle can be achieved, but the front lens diameter tends to be larger, which may lead to an increase in size. If f / OAL is equal to or greater than the upper limit of condition (6), the overall length of the optical system becomes smaller, but it becomes difficult to achieve a wider angle of view. Imaging lens 100 that satisfies condition (6) can achieve a smaller size and a wider angle of view.

[0041] Furthermore, the imaging lens 100 of each embodiment satisfies the condition (7), where OAL is the total length of the optical system, and SDo is the effective optical diameter of the lens (first lens L1) arranged closest to the object side. 1.2 <OAL / SDo<1.6 ···(7)

[0042] The condition (7) is a condition for achieving a balance between the overall lens length and the front lens diameter of the first lens element L1.

[0043] If OAL / SDo is equal to or less than the lower limit of condition (7), the optical system will be compact (shortened in the optical axis direction), but it will be difficult to achieve a wide angle of view. If OAL / SDo is equal to or greater than the upper limit of condition (7), the performance of the optical system will improve, but it will be difficult to achieve compactness (shortened in the optical axis direction). By satisfying condition (7), imaging lens 100 can achieve compactness (shortened in the optical axis direction) and high performance.

[0044] Furthermore, the imaging lens 100 of each embodiment satisfies the condition (8) when the focal length of the fourth lens L4 is f4 and the focal length of the fifth lens L5 is f5. 0.5<|f4 / f5|<0.9 ...(8)

[0045] The condition (8) is a condition for placing distortion in an optimum range.

[0046] If |f4 / f5| is equal to or less than the lower limit of condition (8), the optical system will tend to have pincushion distortion, and if |f4 / f5| is equal to or greater than the upper limit of condition (8), the optical system will tend to have barrel distortion. Therefore, by satisfying condition (8), imaging lens 100 can achieve distortion within an optimal range.

[0047] Furthermore, the imaging lens of each embodiment satisfies condition (9), where EXP is the exit pupil position and IH is the image height. -2.0 <EXP / IH<-1.0 ···(9)

[0048] If EXP / IH is equal to or less than the lower limit of condition (9), the light incidence angle tends to be low, but it tends to be difficult to reduce the overall length of the optical system and thereby reduce its size. If EXP / IH is equal to or greater than the upper limit of condition (9), the light incidence angle tends to be high. For this reason, imaging lens 100 can achieve a reduced size by satisfying condition (9).

[0049] Moreover, the imaging lens 100 of each embodiment satisfies the condition (10) when the optical effective diameter of the lens closest to the object is SDo and the entrance pupil diameter of the optical system is ENP_D. 3.5 <SDo / ENP_D<5.5 ···(10)

[0050] The condition (10) is a condition for achieving both a wide angle of view and brightness.

[0051] When SDo / ENP_D is equal to or less than the lower limit of condition (10), the optical system becomes brighter but tends to have larger spherical aberration, whereas when SDo / ENP_D is equal to or greater than the upper limit of condition (10), the optical system tends to have corrected spherical aberration but tends to become darker. Here, brightness refers to F-number. Also, darker brightness refers to a larger F-number.

[0052] Furthermore, the imaging lens 100 of each embodiment satisfies the condition (11), where OAL is the total optical length and IH is the image height. 0.9 <OAL / (2*IH)<1.1 ···(11)

[0053] Condition (11) defines the relationship between the overall length of imaging lens 100 and the image height.

[0054] When OAL / (2*IH) is below the lower limit of condition (11), the overall length of the optical system tends to be short, but when OAL / (2*IH) exceeds the upper limit of condition (11), the overall length of the optical system becomes long. Therefore, by satisfying condition (11), imaging lens 100 can achieve a balance between a short shape (low height) and high performance.

[0055] [Imaging device] Next, an embodiment of an information processing device (PC) including an imaging device using the imaging lens 100 of each embodiment as an imaging optical system will be described.

[0056] Fig. 7 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of an information processing device including an imaging device having the imaging lens 100 of each embodiment. Fig. 8 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of the imaging device of Fig. 7. Fig. 9 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of an information processing device including an imaging device having the imaging lens of each embodiment.

[0057] 7 to 9 includes at least an imaging device 31, a signal processing unit 32, an image processing unit 33, a control unit 34, a display unit 35, a storage unit 36, a communication unit 37, an input unit 38 and an audio input / output unit 39.

[0058] The imaging device 31 generates an imaging signal by capturing an image of a predetermined field of view under the control of the control unit 34, and outputs the imaging signal to the signal processing unit 32. As shown in Fig. 10, the imaging device 31 includes at least a cover 311, the imaging lens 100 of each embodiment, and a solid-state imaging element 312. The imaging device 31 is disposed on the front side of the information processing device 30. Specifically, the imaging device 31 is disposed at a position where the imaging direction of the imaging device 31 allows the imaging of the user of the information processing device 30. Of course, the position of the imaging device 31 can be appropriately changed depending on the shape, size, and usage mode of the information processing device 30.

[0059] The cover 311 is configured using a cover glass or the like that is a member for preventing dirt and dust from being generated on the imaging lens 100. Note that the information processing device 30 may further provide the cover 311 with a lid or the like that opens and closes in response to a user's operation.

[0060] The solid-state imaging element 312 receives an image of an object formed by the imaging lens 100 and generates an imaging signal by performing photoelectric conversion. The solid-state imaging element 312 is configured using a CCD sensor, a CMOS sensor, etc. The solid-state imaging element 312 preferably has effective pixels of 8 million pixels or more, so-called 4K or more (3840 x 2160 or more), arranged in a two-dimensional matrix.

[0061] Under the control of the control unit 34, the signal processing unit 32 performs A / D conversion processing and the like on the imaging signal input from the solid-state imaging element 312 to convert it into a digital imaging signal and outputs it to the image processing unit 33. The signal processing unit 32 is configured using, for example, a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) or the like.

[0062] Under the control of the control unit 34, the image processing unit 33 performs predetermined image processing on the digital imaging signal input from the signal processing unit 32, and outputs the result to the display unit 35 or the storage unit 36. The image processing unit 33 is configured using, for example, a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) or the like. Here, the predetermined image processing includes electrical shading correction processing, white balance adjustment processing, image center trimming processing, noise reduction processing, and the like.

[0063] The control unit 34 controls each unit constituting the information processing device 30. The control unit 34 includes a processor and a memory. The processor is configured using a CPU, a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), etc. The memory is configured using a Random Access Memory (RAM), a Read Only Memory (ROM), etc.

[0064] Under the control of the control unit 34, the display unit 35 displays the video being shot that has been image-processed by the image processing unit 33, the captured image, the still image corresponding to the image signal stored in the memory unit 36, and various information related to the information processing device 30.

[0065] The storage unit 36 ​​stores various information related to the information processing device 30, programs executed by the information processing device 30, and imaging signals (RAW data and JPEG data) captured by the imaging device 31. The storage unit 36 ​​is configured using a flash memory, an SSD (Solid State Drive), an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), a memory card, etc.

[0066] The communication unit 37 transmits an imaging signal captured by the imaging device 31 to the outside via a network in accordance with a predetermined communication standard under the control of the control unit 34, and receives various information input from the outside. The communication unit 37 uses a communication standard that complies with communication standards such as 3GPP (registered trademark), 4G established by IEEE, LTE, 5G, WiMAX, and Wi-Fi (registered trademark), etc.

[0067] The input unit 38 receives an operation input from the user, and outputs operation information corresponding to the received operation to the control unit 34. The input unit 38 is configured using, for example, a touch panel, a keyboard, a mouse, and the like.

[0068] Under the control of the control unit 34, the audio input / output unit 39 receives an input of an external sound, converts it into an audio signal, and outputs it to the storage unit 36 ​​or the communication unit 37. Also, under the control of the control unit 34, the audio input / output unit 39 converts an audio signal input from the storage unit 36 ​​or the communication unit 37 and outputs it to the outside. The audio input / output unit 39 is configured using a microphone, a speaker, and the like.

[0069] The information processing device 30 configured in this manner can use the imaging device 31 having the imaging lens 100 to communicate with an external device in high-quality 4K by Web communication via a network.

[0070] In the embodiment, a PC has been described as an example of the information processing device 30, but the imaging device 31 can be applied to imaging devices such as tablet terminals, mobile phones, etc. Of course, the imaging device 31 can also be applied to a Web camera or the like that can communicate with a PC or the like via wired or wireless communication.

[0071] According to the embodiment described above, it is possible to realize a wide-angle of view, bright, high-performance, and compact camera.

[0072] Furthermore, according to the embodiment, imaging lens 100 can be realized that has a wide angle of view, a small F-number, high performance, and a small size. Therefore, in the case of shooting moving images, it is possible to handle shooting in various environments such as dark environments and to increase the shooting speed.

[0073] Furthermore, according to the embodiment, it is possible to realize a wide-angle, bright, high-performance, and compact device, thereby improving the matching between the angle of incidence at the light receiving element of the solid-state imaging element on the image side and the light rays incident on the light receiving surface.

[0074] Furthermore, according to the embodiment, a bright, high-performance, and compact lens with a half angle of view of 27.5° to 40° can be constructed using five lenses, and therefore the lens can be used as a fixed focal length lens for use in mobile phones such as smartphones and PCs, for example. Therefore, when there is a demand for high-pixel video capture of 4K or more (3840 x 2160 or more), sufficient aberration correction can be performed compared to conventional imaging lenses, and the required performance can be met.

[0075] Furthermore, according to the embodiment, a bright, high-performance, and compact lens with a half angle of view of 50° or more can be configured with five lenses, so that the overall length of the imaging lens 100 in the optical axis direction can be shortened, and the lens diameter can be reduced, realizing miniaturization. This reduces the refractive power of the miniaturized lens, and also reduces the effects of manufacturing errors and assembly errors. As a result, productivity can be improved and production costs can be reduced.

[0076] In addition, various inventions can be formed by appropriately combining multiple components disclosed in the information processing device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure. For example, some components may be deleted from all the components described in the information processing device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure. Furthermore, the components described in the information processing device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may be appropriately combined.

[0077] In addition, in the information processing device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned "unit" can be read as "means" or "circuit", etc. For example, the control unit can be read as control means or a control circuit.

[0078] In addition, the program to be executed by the information processing device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is provided as file data in an installable or executable format recorded on a recording medium that can be read by a computer, such as a CD-ROM, a flexible disk (FD), a CD-R, a digital versatile disk (DVD), a USB medium, or a flash memory.

[0080] Examples 1 to 3 of the imaging lens 100 corresponding to the first to third embodiments, respectively, are given below. The meanings of symbols in each example are as follows: f: focal length of the entire lens system Lensf: focal length of each lens Groupf: Focal length of each group FNo.: Aperture (F number) R: Radius of curvature of the surface D: Surface spacing Nd: Refractive index for the d line Vd: Abbe number for d line IP:Inflectoin Point The inflection point indicates the position of the inflection point when the effective radius is 1.0. For example, "0.6" indicates that the inflection point is located at 60% of the effective radius. In addition, a hyphen (-) indicates that the inflection point is not within the effective diameter, and also indicates that the inflection point is outside the effective diameter. TP: Uneven thickness ratio (Thickness Point=peripheral thickness / center thickness) For example, a thickness deviation ratio of "1.5" indicates that the peripheral thickness is 1.5 times thicker than the central thickness. An aspheric surface is expressed by the well-known equation (12) below, using the aspheric coefficients, where X is the depth in the optical axis direction, H is the height from the optical axis, R is the paraxial radius of curvature, k is the conic constant, and C4, C6, C8, C10, CN (N = 12 or more even number). X=(H 2 / R) / [1+{1-k(H / r) 2} 1 / 2 ] +C4H 4 +C6H6 +C8H 8 +C10H 10 +···+CNH N (12)
