Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a lens assembly.

Background Art

[0002] Conventional long focal length lens assemblies usually have a long overall lens length, and as the focal length increases, the influence of vibration on image quality also increases. Therefore, it is necessary to have optical image stabilization to effectively eliminate vibration and improve image quality. Conventional long focal length lens assemblies usually do not have optical image stabilization and do not meet today's requirements. Thus, a new structure is needed for the lens assembly to meet the requirements of long focal length, miniaturization, high resolution, and optical image stabilization.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0017] The present invention provides a lens assembly. The lens assembly of the first embodiment has a first lens group, a second lens group, and a third lens group. The first lens group has a positive refractive power and has at least four lenses. At least four lenses have a positive refractive power or a negative refractive power, but not all of them can be negative. At least four lenses are arranged along the optical axis from the object side to the image side. Among the at least four lenses, the lens closest to the object side has a convex surface facing the object side, ensures image quality, and has a concave surface, a convex surface, or a flat surface facing the image side. Among the at least four lenses, the lens closest to the image side has a convex surface facing the image side, ensures image quality, and has a concave surface, a convex surface, or a flat surface facing the object side. The remaining two of the four lenses are biconvex lenses, biconcave lenses, meniscus lenses, plano-convex lenses, or plano-concave lenses. The second lens group has a negative refractive power. The two lenses have a negative refractive index or a 2-1 lens and a 2-2 lens with a positive refractive index, but both of them cannot have a positive refractive power. The 2-2 lens has a convex surface facing the image side, ensures image quality, and has a concave surface, a convex surface, or a flat surface facing the object side. The 2-1 lens is a biconvex lens, a biconcave lens, a meniscus lens, a plano-convex lens, or a plano-concave lens. The third lens group has a negative refractive power. The third lens group has a 3-1 lens, and this 3-1 lens is a meniscus lens with a negative refractive power. The first lens group, the second lens group, and the third lens group are arranged in order from the object side to the image side along the optical axis. The above embodiments can achieve the basic functions.

[0018] The present invention provides a lens assembly of a second embodiment. The difference from the first embodiment is that the second lens group can move along a direction perpendicular to the optical axis to perform optical hand-shake correction, and since the second lens group has two lenses, good image quality can be maintained during shake prevention. The third lens group can move along the direction of the optical axis to perform focus adjustment, and since the third lens group has a negative refractive power, the total lens length is decreased during focus adjustment.

[0019] The present invention provides a lens assembly of a third embodiment. The difference from the second embodiment is that the first lens group has at least three lenses with positive refractive power and one lens with negative refractive power. The refractive power of the 2-1 lens is opposite to that of the 2-2 lens. When the first lens group has two meniscus lenses, the second lens group has a meniscus lens.

[0020] The present invention provides a lens assembly of a fourth embodiment. The difference from the first embodiment is that the first lens group has lenses 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, and 1-5, and the surface shape of the image side surface of the 1-3 lens is different from the side surface shape of the object side surface of the 2-1 lens. When the surface shape of the object side surface of the 2-1 lens is convex, the surface shape of the image side surface of the 1-3 lens is concave, and when the surface shape of the object side surface of the 2-1 lens is concave, the surface shape of the image side surface of the 1-3 lens is convex.

Taking the magnification of the second lens group as an example, the measurement method of Tan(θ1) is as follows: Let the collimated light pass through the lens group in front of the second lens group, and on the other side of the lens group relative to the collimated light, install a light shielding plate (or aperture stop) with a radius of a predetermined length. Then, measure the distance from the focus after the light passes through the light shielding plate to the light shielding plate. Tan(θ1) is equal to the radius of the light shielding plate divided by the distance from the focus to the light shielding plate. The measurement method of Tan(θ2) is the same as the above, except that the light shielding plate is installed on the other side of the second lens group relative to the collimated light. That is, the collimated light first passes through the lens group in front of the second lens group, then passes through the second lens group and the light shielding plate, and measures the distance from the focus to the light shielding plate. Tan(θ2) is equal to the radius of the light shielding plate divided by the distance from the focus to the light shielding plate.
