[0021] The invention will be further described in the following detailed description with reference to the above drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0022] For a better understanding of the present application, each aspect of the present application will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings. It should be understood that these detailed descriptions are merely for the purpose of explaining the embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application. The same reference numerals represent the same parts throughout the specification. The term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated items.

[0023] It should be noted that in this specification, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc. are used merely to distinguish one feature from another, and do not limit the features. Therefore, without departing from the gist of the present invention, the first lens described below may also be called the second lens or the third lens.

[0024] In the drawings, the thickness, size, and shape of the lenses are slightly exaggerated for ease of explanation. Specifically, the spherical or aspherical shapes shown in each drawing are shown as examples. That is, the spherical or aspherical shapes are not limited to the spherical or aspherical shapes shown. The drawings are merely examples and are not drawn to scale.

[0025] In this specification, the paraxial region refers to the region near the optical axis. When a lens surface is convex and the position of the convex surface is not defined, it means that the lens surface is convex at least in the paraxial region. When a lens surface is concave and the position of the concave surface is not defined, it means that the lens surface is concave at least in the paraxial region. The surface of each lens closest to the subject is called the object-side surface of the lens, and the surface of each lens closest to the image plane is called the image-side surface of the lens.

[0026] It should be noted that, unless contradictory, the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below in combination with the embodiments with reference to the drawings.

[0027] The optical lens according to the embodiment of the present application includes, in order from the object side to the image side, a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, and a sixth lens.

[0028] In some embodiments, the first lens has a negative focal power and a biconcave surface shape, which is advantageous for collecting as much light as possible from a wide field of view into the rear optic.

[0029] In some embodiments, the second lens has a negative focal power and a concave-convex surface shape, which is advantageous for collecting the incident light after passing through the first lens and stably transferring the movement of the light, and is also advantageous for reducing the front aperture and volume of the optical lens, thereby realizing a compact optical lens and reducing costs.

[0030] In some embodiments, the third lens has a positive focal power and a biconvex surface shape, which is advantageous for focusing light, allowing the divergent light to smoothly enter the rearward direction, and stably transferring the movement of light.

[0031] In some embodiments, the fourth lens has a positive focal power and a biconvex surface shape, which is advantageous for focusing light and allowing the divergent light to smoothly enter the rearward direction, thereby stably transferring the movement of light.

[0032] In some embodiments, the fifth lens has a negative focal power and a concave-convex surface shape, which is advantageous for correcting aberrations and preventing excessive divergence of the rear light.

[0033] In some embodiments, the image-side surface of the fourth lens and the object-side surface of the fifth lens are cemented together. By combining the fourth lens and the fifth lens to form a cemented lens, the overall chromatic aberration correction of the system is shared, aberrations are effectively corrected, tolerance sensitivity issues such as tilt / misalignment that occur during the assembly process of the lens unit are reduced, and production yields are improved.

[0034] In some embodiments, the sixth lens has a positive focal power and a convex-concave surface shape. Such focal power and surface shape settings of the sixth lens are advantageous for effectively transmitting more light to the imaging plane, correcting astigmatism and field curvature, and improving the resolving power of the optical lens. The sixth lens has an aspherical lens surface, which provides a gentle surface shape and eliminates aberrations that occur during imaging, thereby improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0035] In some embodiments, in order to further improve the imaging quality of the optical lens, an aperture for restricting the light beam is installed between the second lens and the fourth lens. When the aperture is installed between the second lens and the fourth lens, it is advantageous to converge the light entering the optical system and reduce the front aperture diameter of the optical lens.

[0036] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfies 5.9 mm < f < 6.5 mm. Satisfying the above range helps to improve the ability of the lens to emphasize the main body and the ability to photograph distant scenery.

[0037] In some embodiments, the aperture value of the optical lens is 1.7 < FNO < 1.9. Satisfying the above range ensures that the optical lens has both telephoto and wide-angle capabilities and can guarantee the illumination luminance in the peripheral imaging region.

[0038] In some embodiments, the image height IH corresponding to the maximum picture angle satisfies 9.5 mm < IH < 10.5 mm. Satisfying the above range is advantageous for achieving the imaging effect of the large image plane of the optical lens, having higher optical performance, and realizing the compatibility with image sensors of different specifications.

[0039] In some embodiments, the incident angle CRA of the chief ray of the optical lens on the image plane of the full field of view satisfies 0° < CRA < 6.5°.

When the above range is satisfied, it is possible to ensure that the central field of view of the optical lens is concentrated near the optical axis, reduce coma aberration and astigmatism as much as possible, and obtain a larger illuminance for the peripheral field of view.

[0043] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f1 of the first lens satisfy -1.2 < f1 / f < -1.0. When the above range is satisfied, it is possible to give the first lens a small negative focal refractive power, which is advantageous for increasing the optical back focal length of the lens.

[0044] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f2 of the second lens satisfy -18.5 < f2 / f < -11.5. When the above range is satisfied, it is possible to give the second lens a large negative focal refractive power, which is advantageous for balancing the astigmatism and field curvature of the optical lens.

[0045] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f3 of the third lens satisfy 2.0 < f3 / f < 2.2. When the above range is satisfied, it is possible to give the third lens a small positive focal refractive power, which is advantageous for balancing various aberrations of the optical lens.

[0046] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f4 of the fourth lens satisfy 1.2 < f4 / f < 1.9. When the above range is satisfied, it is possible to give the fourth lens a small positive focal refractive power, which is advantageous for balancing various aberrations of the optical lens.

[0047] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f5 of the fifth lens satisfy -2.2 < f5 / f < -1.8. When the above range is satisfied, the fifth lens can be given a small negative focal refractive power, which is advantageous for correcting the aberration caused by the front lens and avoiding excessive divergence of the rear light.

[0048] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f6 of the sixth lens satisfy 2.8 < f6 / f < 3.9. When the above range is satisfied, the sixth lens can be given a large positive focal refractive power, which is advantageous for balancing the spherical aberration and field curvature of the optical lens.

[0049] In some embodiments, the radius of curvature R1 of the object-side surface and the radius of curvature R2 of the image-side surface of the first lens of the optical lens satisfy 0.8 < (R1 + R2) / (R1 - R2) < 0.9. When the above range is satisfied, it is advantageous to increase the angle of view of the optical lens, balance the spherical aberration and field curvature of the optical lens, and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0050] In some embodiments, the radius of curvature R3 of the object-side surface, the radius of curvature R4 of the image-side surface of the second lens of the optical lens, and the central thickness CT2 of the second lens satisfy 1.05 < R3 / (R4 + CT2) < 1.20. When the above range is satisfied, it is advantageous to make the shapes of the object-side surface and the image-side surface of the second lens closer to concentric circles, balance the astigmatism and field curvature generated by the second lens, and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0051] In some embodiments, the radius of curvature R5 of the object-side surface of the third lens of the optical lens and the focal length f3 of the third lens satisfy 1.10 < R5 / f3 < 1.25. When the above range is satisfied, it is advantageous to reduce the sensitivity of the third lens, balance the various aberrations of the optical lens, and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0052] In some embodiments, the radius of curvature R9 of the object side surface of the fifth lens of the optical lens, the radius of curvature R10 of the image side surface, and the focal length f5 of the fifth lens satisfy 1.10 < R10 / (R9 + f5) < 1.35. When the above range is satisfied, it is advantageous for controlling the refraction angle of the light beam at the fifth lens, balancing various aberrations generated at the fifth lens, and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0053] In some embodiments, the radius of curvature R11 of the object side surface of the sixth lens of the optical lens and the radius of curvature R12 of the image side surface satisfy -2.0 < (R11 + R12) / (R11 - R12) < -1.0. When the above range is satisfied, the image side surface of the sixth lens becomes gentle, optimizing the distortion aberration at the periphery of the optical lens, balancing the field curvature of the optical lens, correcting the astigmatism, and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0054] In some embodiments, the central thickness CT3 of the third lens of the optical lens and the overall optical length TTL satisfy 0.08 ≤ CT3 / TTL ≤ 0.26. When the above range is satisfied, it is advantageous for achieving the purpose of correcting the field curvature by the thick third lens.

[0055] In some embodiments, the central thickness CT4 of the fourth lens of the optical lens and the overall optical length TTL satisfy 0.11 ≤ CT4 / TTL ≤ 0.16. When the above range is satisfied, it is advantageous for achieving the purpose of correcting the field curvature by the thick fourth lens.

[0056] In some embodiments, the central thickness CT6 of the sixth lens of the optical lens and the overall optical length TTL satisfy 0.11 ≤ CT6 / TTL ≤ 0.2. When the above range is satisfied, it is advantageous for achieving the purpose of correcting the field curvature by the thick sixth lens.
