[0056] As electronic devices become smaller and lighter, they can become more portable. In an environment where displays are becoming larger to enable larger screens on portable electronic devices, reducing thickness can also lead to smaller and lighter electronic devices. However, miniaturizing electronic devices can present challenges in integrating imaging devices with superior optical performance. For example, while a larger number or size of lenses can facilitate the optical performance of an imaging device, miniaturizing electronic devices can reduce the design freedom for arranging the lenses or image sensors. When optical elements such as mirrors or prisms are placed, arranging the lenses or image sensors can be facilitated. However, the addition of additional optical elements can increase chromatic aberration, and selecting the refractive power or material (e.g., Abbe number) to improve chromatic aberration can be challenging.

[0057] One embodiment of the present disclosure is intended to at least resolve the above-described problems and / or disadvantages and at least provide the advantages described below, thereby providing an imaging device and / or an electronic device including the same with improved design freedom.

[0058] One embodiment of the present disclosure can provide an imaging device that is easy to improve chromatic aberration while having a degree of design freedom suitable for miniaturized electronic devices.

[0059] The technical problems to be achieved in this document are not limited to the technical problems mentioned above, and other technical problems not mentioned can be clearly understood by a person having ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present disclosure belongs from the description below.

[0060] The following description of the accompanying drawings may provide an understanding of various exemplary implementations of the present disclosure, including the claims and their equivalents. While the exemplary embodiments disclosed in the following description include numerous specific details to aid understanding, they are to be considered as one example of various exemplary embodiments. Accordingly, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and variations of the various implementations described herein may be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the disclosure. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known functions and configurations may be omitted for clarity and conciseness.

[0061] The terms and words used in the following description and claims are not limited to their reference meanings and can be used to clearly and consistently describe one embodiment of the present disclosure. Therefore, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the following description of various implementations of the disclosure is provided for illustrative purposes, not for the purpose of limiting the scope of the disclosure and its equivalents.

[0062] Unless the context clearly dictates otherwise, the singular forms of "a," "an," and "the" should be understood to include plural meanings. Thus, for example, "a component surface" could be understood to include one or more of the surfaces of the component.

Electronic devices according to embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to the aforementioned devices.

[0086] The embodiments of the present disclosure and the terminology used therein are not intended to limit the technical features described in this document to specific embodiments, but should be understood to encompass various modifications, equivalents, or substitutes of the embodiments. In connection with the description of the drawings, similar reference numerals may be used for similar or related components. The singular form of a noun corresponding to an item may include one or more of the items, unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. In this document, phrases such as "A or B," "at least one of A and B," "at least one of A or B," "A, B, or C," "at least one of A, B, and C," and "at least one of A, B, or C" can each include any one of the items listed together in the corresponding phrase, or all possible combinations thereof. Terms such as "first," "second," or "first" or "second" may be used simply to distinguish the corresponding component from other corresponding components, and do not limit the corresponding components in any other respect (e.g., importance or order). When a component (e.g., a first component) is referred to as being “coupled” or “connected” to another component (e.g., a second component), with or without the terms “functionally” or “communicatively,” it is understood that the component can be connected to the other component directly (e.g., wired), wirelessly, or via a third component.

[0087] The term "module" used in the embodiments of the present disclosure may include a unit implemented in hardware, software, or firmware, and may be used interchangeably with terms such as logic, logic block, component, or circuit. A module may be an integral component, or a minimum unit or part of such a component that performs one or more functions. For example, according to one embodiment, a module may be implemented in the form of an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC).

[0088] Embodiments of the present disclosure may be implemented as software (e.g., a program) including one or more instructions stored in a storage medium (e.g., built-in memory or external memory) readable by a machine (e.g., an electronic device). For example, a processor (e.g., a processor) of the machine (e.g., an electronic device) may call at least one instruction among the one or more instructions stored from the storage medium and execute it. This enables the machine to operate to perform at least one function according to the at least one instruction called. The one or more instructions may include code generated by a compiler or code executable by an interpreter. The machine-readable storage medium may be provided in the form of a non-transitory storage medium. Here, "non-transitory" only means that the storage medium is a tangible device and does not contain a signal (e.g., electromagnetic waves), and this term does not distinguish between cases where data is stored semi-permanently and cases where it is stored temporarily in the storage medium.

[0089] According to one embodiment, a method according to the embodiment(s) of the present disclosure may be provided as a computer program product. The computer program product may be traded between sellers and buyers as a product. The computer program product may be distributed in the form of a device-readable storage medium (e.g., compact disc read only memory (CD-ROM)) or may be provided through an application store (e.g., Play Store). TM ) or directly between two user devices (e.g., smartphones), online distribution (e.g., downloading or uploading). In the case of online distribution, at least a portion of the computer program product may be at least temporarily stored or temporarily created in a machine-readable storage medium, such as the memory of a manufacturer's server, an application store's server, or an intermediary server.

[0090] According to one embodiment, each component (e.g., a module or a program) of the above-described components may include one or more entities, and some of the entities may be separated and placed in other components. According to one embodiment, one or more components or operations of the aforementioned components may be omitted, or one or more other components or operations may be added.

[0111] In the detailed description below, reference may be made to the electronic devices (101, 102, 104, 200, 300) of the preceding embodiments, and it is noted that the same reference numbers in the drawings may be given or omitted for configurations that can be easily understood through the preceding embodiments, and the detailed description thereof may also be omitted.

[0112] FIG. 5 is a plan view illustrating a rear surface of an electronic device (400) (e.g., the electronic devices (101, 102, 104, 200, 300) of FIGS. 1 to 4 ) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a portion of the electronic device (400) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure taken along line A-A' of FIG. 5 . FIG. 7 is a configuration diagram illustrating an optical path of an imaging device (500) in an electronic device (400) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0113] Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, an electronic device (400) according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a camera window (385) disposed on one surface (e.g., the second surface (210B) of FIG. 3). In one embodiment, the camera window (385) may be a part of a rear plate (380). In one embodiment, the camera window (385) may be coupled to the rear plate (380) through a decorative member (389), and when viewed from the outside, the decorative member (389) may be exposed in a form that surrounds the periphery of the camera window (385). According to one embodiment, the camera window (385) may include a plurality of transparent regions (387), and the electronic device (400) may receive external light or radiate light to the outside through at least one of the transparent regions (387). For example, the electronic device (400) may include at least one imaging device (500) (e.g., camera modules (180, 205, 212, 213) of FIGS. 1 to 3) arranged to correspond to at least some of the transparent areas (387), and at least one light source (e.g., an infrared light source) arranged to correspond to another part of the transparent areas (387). In one embodiment, the imaging device (500) and / or the light source may receive external light or radiate light to the outside of the electronic device (400) through any one of the transparent areas (387). In one embodiment, the electronic device (400) and / or the imaging device (500) may further include a camera support member (381). The camera support member (381) may be positioned or secured to the rear plate (380) and / or the camera window (385) at least one of the imaging device (500) and / or another imaging device adjacent thereto (e.g., a wide-angle camera, an ultra-wide-angle camera, and / or a macro camera). In one embodiment, the camera support member (381) may be substantially a part of the first support member (311) and / or the second support member (360) of FIG. 4.

[0114] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (400) may include at least one of a wide-angle camera, an ultra-wide-angle camera, a close-up camera, a telephoto camera, or an infrared photodiode as an imaging device (500) and / or a light-receiving element, and may include a flash (e.g., the flash (213) of FIG. 3) or an infrared laser diode as a light source and / or a light-emitting element. In one embodiment, the electronic device (400) may detect a distance and / or depth to a subject by emitting an infrared laser toward the subject and receiving an infrared laser reflected by the subject using the infrared laser diode and the infrared photodiode. In one embodiment, the electronic device (400) may capture a subject by using one or a combination of two or more of the cameras, and may provide illumination toward the subject by using a flash as needed.

[0115] According to one embodiment, among the cameras, a wide-angle camera, an ultra-wide-angle camera, and / or a macro camera may have a shorter length in the optical axis direction of the lens(es) compared to a telephoto camera (e.g., the imaging device (500)). For example, a telephoto camera (e.g., the imaging device (500)) having a relatively small angle of view and a relatively large focal length may have a larger lens length than other cameras (e.g., the wide-angle camera, the ultra-wide-angle camera, and / or the macro camera). The term “lens length” may be the distance from the object-side surface of the first lens on the object side to the imaging surface of the image sensor (411). In the case where other optical members (e.g., a mirror and / or prism) are arranged between the lens(es) and the image sensor, as in the embodiment described below (e.g., the imaging device (600) of FIG. 8), the “lens length” may be the distance from the object-side surface of the first lens on the object side to the sensor-side surface of the first lens on the image sensor side. In one embodiment, the wide-angle camera, the ultra-wide-angle camera, and / or the macro camera may have a substantially small effect on the thickness of the electronic device (400) even if the lens(es) are arranged along the thickness direction of the electronic device (400) (e.g., the thickness measured in the Z-axis direction of FIG. 4 or FIG. 6). For example, the wide-angle camera, the ultra-wide-angle camera, and / or the macro camera may be arranged in the electronic device (400) such that the direction in which light is incident on the electronic device (400) from the outside and the optical axis direction of the lens(es) are substantially the same. In one embodiment, compared to the wide-angle camera, the ultra-wide-angle camera, and / or the macro camera, the imaging device (500) (e.g., a telephoto camera) may have a smaller angle of view but may be useful for capturing subjects at a longer distance. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the imaging device (500) may include at least one optical member (R) that reflects and / or refracts the incident light (IL) in a different direction. By including at least one optical member (R), the imaging device (500) can easily implement a telephoto function while suppressing an increase in the thickness of the electronic device (400).

[0116] Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, a folded camera (e.g., an imaging device (500)) may include a lens assembly (421) (e.g., lenses (421a, 421b)), at least one optical member (R) (e.g., a refractive member or a reflective member), and / or an image sensor (411). In one embodiment, the at least one optical member (R) may guide light (e.g., incident light (IL)) focused or guided by the lens assembly (421) to the image sensor (411) by reflecting or refracting the light at least once. In one embodiment, the optical member (R) may include, for example, a prism and / or a mirror. For example, the optical member (R) may be formed as a prism including at least one mirror. In one embodiment, the optical member (R) may reflect and / or refract light (IL) incident in a first direction (D1) in a second direction (D2) intersecting the first direction (D1). The first direction (D1) may refer to a direction in which external light (IL) is incident on the electronic device (400) and / or the imaging device (500) through any one of the transparent areas (387) of FIG. 5, for example, when photographing a subject. In one embodiment, the first direction (D1) may refer to a photographing direction, a subject direction, an orientation direction of the imaging device (500), and / or a direction parallel thereto. In one embodiment, the first direction (D1) may be parallel to a thickness direction and / or a Z-axis direction of the electronic device (400).

[0117] According to one embodiment, light (RL1) reflected or refracted inside the optical member (R) and propagating in the second direction (D2) may be reflected and / or refracted by another region inside the optical member (R) and propagate in a third direction (D3) intersecting the second direction (D2). In one embodiment, the third direction (D3) may be substantially perpendicular to the second direction (D2). For example, the third direction (D3) may mean a direction parallel to the Z-axis direction. However, one embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the third direction (D3) may be a direction inclined with respect to the second direction (D2) and / or the XY plane depending on the arrangement and specifications of the imaging device (500) and / or the optical member (R) within the electronic device (400). In one embodiment, the third direction (D3) may be substantially parallel to the first direction (D1).

[0118] According to one embodiment, the image sensor (411) may be configured to detect light (RL2) that travels along the third direction (D3) after being reflected and / or refracted at least once inside the optical member (R). For example, light (IL) incident from the outside may be detected by the image sensor (411) after being reflected or refracted at least once (e.g., twice in the illustrated embodiment) inside the optical member (R), and the electronic device (400) and / or the imaging device (500) may acquire an image of a subject based on a signal and / or information detected through the image sensor (411). In one embodiment, the image sensor (411) may be arranged substantially parallel to the XY plane. For example, when the imaging device (500) has a shake correction function having a structure that shifts the image sensor (411), the image sensor (411) can move horizontally in a plane substantially perpendicular to the first direction (D1) and / or the third direction (D3).

[0119] According to one embodiment, when performing a shake correction operation, the image sensor (411) may be shifted in the longitudinal direction (e.g., Y-axis direction) and / or the width direction (e.g., X-axis direction) of the electronic device (400). For example, the image sensor (411) may be arranged on a plane substantially perpendicular to the first direction (D1) and / or the third direction (D3), so that in an electronic device having a small thickness (e.g., a thickness of approximately 10 mm or less), it may be easy to expand the size of the image sensor (411) and / or it may be easy to secure a space for a shake correction operation. In one embodiment, when the imaging device (500) is utilized as a telephoto camera, the quality of the captured image may be further improved by incorporating a shake correction function. In one embodiment, when the image sensor (411) is enlarged, the performance of the imaging device (500) may be further improved.

[0120] According to one embodiment, the lens assembly (421) can guide and / or focus light (IL) incident from a first direction (D1) onto the optical member (R). In one embodiment, the lens assembly (421) and / or the first lens (e.g., the first lens (421a)) arranged on the object side of the imaging device (500) can have a positive refractive power. For example, since the first lens (421a) is configured to focus and / or align light (IL) incident from the outside onto the optical member (R), the optical system from the first lens (421a) to the image sensor (411) can be miniaturized. In one embodiment, the lens assembly (421) can further include an additional lens (e.g., the second lens (421b)(s)) for focusing and / or aligning light incident from the outside.

[0121] According to one embodiment, at least one of the first lens (421a) and / or the second lens (421b)(s) can move forward and backward in the direction in which light is incident (e.g., the first direction (D1) of FIG. 6). For example, the electronic device (400) and / or the imaging device (500) can perform focal length adjustment and / or focus adjustment by moving forward and backward at least one of the first lens (421a) and / or the second lens (421b)(s). In one embodiment, the image sensor (411) can perform focal length adjustment and / or focus adjustment by moving forward and backward along the third direction (D3) of FIG. 6.

[0122] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (400) and / or the imaging device (500) may further include an infrared cut filter (419). In one embodiment, the infrared cut filter (419) may suppress or substantially block light in the infrared and / or near-infrared wavelength band from being incident on the image sensor (411) and may be positioned at any position in the optical path between the first lens (421a) and the image sensor (411). In one embodiment, the infrared cut filter (419) may be positioned close to the image sensor (411) (e.g., between the image sensor (411) and the optical member (R)), thereby suppressing and / or preventing the infrared cut filter (419) from being visually exposed to the outside. In one embodiment, the optical member (R) may include an infrared cut coating layer, in which case the infrared cut filter (419) may be omitted. Hereby, the image sensor (411) can detect light that has substantially passed through the infrared cut filter (419) (or infrared cut coating layer). The optical member (R) according to the embodiment(s) of the present disclosure can be selectively designed according to the structure of the imaging device (500). For example, in one embodiment, the optical member (R) can have a triangular prism shape. In one embodiment, the optical member (R) can have a trapezoidal prism shape. The shape of the optical member (R) is not limited to the structure illustrated in the present disclosure. For example, if the optical member (R) reflects, refracts, or transmits light, the optical member (R) can have a structure other than a triangular prism or a trapezoidal prism. In one embodiment, the type of the optical member (R) can be arranged in various ways. For example, the optical member (R) can be arranged as a prism. For example, the optical member (R) can be arranged as at least one mirror. For example, the optical member (R) can include a substantially transparent material. For example, the optical member (R) can be manufactured using glass.

[0123] FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an imaging device (600) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure (e.g., the camera modules (180, 205, 212, 213) of FIGS. 1 to 3 or the imaging device (500) of FIG. 6). FIG. 9 is a graph showing spherical aberration of the imaging device (600) of FIG. 8 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 10 is a graph showing astigmatism of the imaging device (600) of FIG. 8 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 11 is a graph showing a distortion rate of the imaging device (600) of FIG. 8 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0124] FIG. 9 is a graph showing spherical aberration of an imaging device (600) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, in which the horizontal axis represents a coefficient of longitudinal spherical aberration, and the vertical axis represents a normalized representation of the distance from the optical axis, and shows a change in longitudinal spherical aberration according to the wavelength of light. The longitudinal spherical aberration is shown for light having wavelengths of, for example, 656.3000 (NM, nanometer), 587.6000 (NM), 546.1000 (NM), 486.1000 (NM), and 435.8000 (NM), respectively. FIG. 10 is a graph showing astigmatic field curves of an imaging device (600) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, for light having a wavelength of 546.1000 (NM), where 's' exemplifies a sagittal plane and 't' exemplifies a tangential plane (meridional plane). FIG. 11 is a graph showing a distortion ratio of an imaging device (600) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, for light having a wavelength of 546.1000 (NM). In the following description, the imaging device (600)(s) is a structure including an optical member (R)(s) disposed between the lens (L1, L2, L3, L4)(s) and the image sensor (I), and it is noted that in a graph regarding spherical aberration, astigmatism and / or distortion rate, negative / positive may be reversed depending on the number of times light is reflected and / or refracted by the optical member (R)(s). In describing the embodiment(s) of the present disclosure, optical data such as 'lens total length' or 'focal length' may be an example of a value in a state in which the optical member (R)(s) is not included.For example, the optical member (R)(s) may change the path of light by performing reflection and / or refraction, and may not substantially affect the optical performance (e.g., focal length, F-number, and / or angle of view) of the imaging device (600).

[0125] According to one embodiment, the imaging device (600) may further include an additional optical member (not shown) arranged in front of the lens assembly (LA). In one embodiment, the imaging device (600) may further include an additional optical member (not shown) arranged between two adjacent lenses among the lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4). For example, the optical member (R) shown may be omitted or an optical member (R) not shown may be additionally arranged depending on the specifications of the imaging device (600) or the electronic device (400) to be manufactured. In the above-described embodiment, the optical member (R) is generally exemplified as a triangular prism, but it should be noted that the embodiment(s) of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. For example, the optical member (R) may be implemented in the shape of a polygonal column, such as a quadrilateral (e.g., a parallelogram or a trapezoid) or a pentagonal shape.

[0126] Referring to FIG. 8, the imaging device (600) (e.g., the camera modules (180, 205, 212, 213) of FIGS. 1 to 3 and / or the imaging device (500) of FIG. 6) may include a lens assembly (LA) including at least four lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4), an image sensor (I), and an optical member (R) disposed between the image sensor (I) and the at least four lenses (hereinafter, referred to as “lenses L1, L2, L3, L4”). In one embodiment, the lens assembly (LA) may be understood to include the optical member (R). In one embodiment, the imaging device (600) may include a photosensitive member replacing the image sensor (I). In one embodiment, when the imaging device (600) includes the image sensor (I), duplication, movement, and / or post-processing of an acquired image may be facilitated.

[0127] As mentioned above, the imaging device (600) may include an additional optical member positioned in front of the first lens (L1) among the lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4) or an additional optical member positioned between two adjacent lenses among the lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4). For example, in one embodiment, additional optical member(s) not shown may be positioned, which may vary depending on the specifications of the imaging device (600) and the space secured within the electronic device (400). The lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4) are positioned sequentially along the optical axis (A) or along the direction in which light is incident, and may be distinguished by indicating an ordinal number corresponding to the order in which they are positioned along the direction in which light is incident, 'first', 'second', 'third', and / or 'fourth'. For example, the lens positioned first in the direction in which light is incident may be referred to as a 'first lens (L1)'.

[0128] In Fig. 8, 'S2' may be the object-side surface of the first lens (L1) among the lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4), and 'S3' may be the sensor-side surface of the first lens (L1). The imaging device (600) and / or the lens assembly (LA) may include an aperture (STOP) arranged in front of the first lens (L1). In one embodiment, the aperture (STOP) may be understood to be arranged behind the vertex (e.g., the point intersecting the optical axis (A)) of the object-side surface (S2) of the first lens (L1). In one embodiment, 'S4' may be the object-side surface of the second lens (L2) among the lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4) that is arranged second in the direction in which light is incident, and 'S5' may be the sensor-side surface of the second lens (L2). In one embodiment, 'S6' may be an object-side surface of a third lens (L3) among the lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4), and 'S7' may be a sensor-side surface of the third lens (L3). In one embodiment, 'S8' may be an object-side surface of a fourth lens (L4) among the lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4), and 'S9' may be a sensor-side surface of the fourth lens (L4). In one embodiment, 'S10' may be an object-side surface of the optical member (R), which may be a surface onto which light focused or guided by the lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4) is incident, and 'S11' may be a sensor-side surface of the optical member (R), which may be a surface facing the image sensor (I) or a surface aligned with the optical axis of the image sensor (I). In one embodiment, a filter member (e.g., an infrared cut filter (F)) may be placed between the optical member (R) and the image sensor (I), and 'S13' indicates the sensor-side surface of the infrared cut filter (F), and the object-side surface of the infrared cut filter (F) may be referred to as 'S12'. In the embodiments described below, reference numbers assigned to each lens surface may be different from the embodiment of FIG. 8.

[0129] In one embodiment, the first lens (L1) may have positive refractive power, the second lens (L2) may have positive refractive power, and / or the third lens (L3) may have negative refractive power. In one embodiment, the fourth lens (L4) may have positive or negative refractive power. As will be described with reference to the embodiments of FIGS. 20 and / or 36, the lens assembly (LA) and / or the imaging device (600) may further include a fifth lens (L5), which may have positive or negative refractive power.

[0130] Although the illustrated embodiment illustrates that the lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4), the optical member (R) and / or the image sensor (I) are aligned along one optical axis (A), it should be noted that the embodiment(s) of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. For example, the optical member (R) may receive light focused or guided by the lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4) and reflect the light at least once within the optical member. For example, the object-side surface (S10) of the optical member (R) may be aligned with the lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4) along the optical axis (A), and the image sensor (I) may be aligned with the sensor-side surface (S11) of the optical member in a direction intersecting the optical axis (A). For example, in Fig. 8, the optical axis (A) is simplified and illustrated, and the light focused or guided by the lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4) is reflected at least once inside the optical member (R), and thus can proceed along the same path as in the embodiment of Fig. 6 or Fig. 7 and be incident on the image sensor (I) (e.g., imaging surface (img)). As will be described below with reference to [Tables] regarding lens data, it should be noted that reference numbers for lens surfaces not described in the drawings may be provided.

[0131] According to one embodiment, the optical member (R) can reflect, refract, and / or guide light incident in the direction of the optical axis (A) at least once in another direction (e.g., a direction intersecting the optical axis (A)). For example, light transmitted through the optical member (R) can be incident on the image sensor (I) substantially along a direction intersecting the optical axis (A). According to one embodiment, the imaging device (600) may further include an infrared cut filter (F). For example, the infrared cut filter (F) may be disposed between the sensor-side surface (S11) of the optical member (R) and the image sensor (I). The infrared cut filter (F) may block light (e.g., infrared) that is not recognized by the naked eye of a user but is detected by a photosensitive material or the image sensor (I). In one embodiment, depending on the purpose or function of the imaging device (600), the infrared cut filter (F) may be replaced with a bandpass filter that transmits light of a specified wavelength band.

[0132] According to one embodiment, at least four lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4) can be sequentially arranged along the optical axis (A) from the object (obj) side toward the optical member (R) or the image sensor (I). In one embodiment, the optical axis (A) can be arranged substantially parallel to the front (e.g., the first surface (210A) of FIG. 2) and / or the back (e.g., the second surface (210B) of FIG. 3) of the electronic device (e.g., the electronic device (101, 200, 300, 400) of FIGS. 1 to 6). According to one embodiment, the electronic device (400) (e.g., the processor (120) of FIG. 1) and / or the imaging device (600) can move at least one of the lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4) forward and backward along the optical axis (A). For example, a focal length adjustment and / or focus adjustment operation can be performed by moving at least one of the lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4) along the direction of the optical axis (A). In one embodiment, the electronic device (400) (e.g., the processor (120) of FIG. 1) and / or the imaging device (600) can perform an image stabilization operation by moving at least one of the lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4) in a plane substantially perpendicular to the optical axis (A). "Movement in a plane substantially perpendicular to the optical axis (A)" can be understood as, for example, moving the lens(es) (L1, L2, L3, L4) along at least two directions substantially perpendicular to the optical axis (A). The "at least two directions" can be, for example, directions that are substantially perpendicular to each other.

[0133] According to one embodiment, the image sensor (I) may be configured to allow the imaging device (600) and / or the electronic device (400) including the same to acquire an image of a subject by receiving light guided and / or focused through the lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4) and / or the optical member (R). In one embodiment, the image sensor (I) may be arranged to be inclined or intersecting with respect to the front (e.g., the first surface (210A) of FIG. 2) and / or the back (e.g., the second surface (210B) of FIG. 3) of the electronic device (e.g., the electronic devices (101, 200, 300, 400) of FIGS. 1 to 6). For example, the imaging plane (img) of the image sensor (I) may form an acute angle and / or an obtuse angle with the optical axis (A). In one embodiment, in a structure in which the optical axis (A) (e.g., the array of lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4)) is arranged perpendicular to the front or back of the electronic device (400) and light incident on the optical member (R) is reflected in a 90-degree direction inside the optical member (R), the imaging plane (img) of the image sensor (I) may be arranged perpendicular to the front or back of the electronic device (400). Depending on the direction or angle in which the optical member (R) reflects light, the imaging plane (img) may be arranged to be inclined with respect to the optical axis (A), the X-axis, the Y-axis, and / or the Z-axis of FIGS. 2 to 6. In one embodiment, since the image sensor (I) may be arranged in various directions with respect to the alignment direction of the lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4), the degree of design freedom may be increased in manufacturing the imaging device (600) and / or the electronic device (400) including the same.

[0134] According to one embodiment, the optical member (R) can change the direction of propagation of light by reflecting and / or refracting the incident light at least once. For example, by arranging the optical member (R) between the lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4) and the image sensor (I), the degree of design freedom in the arrangement (or orientation) of the image sensor (I) with respect to the lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4) can be increased. The optical member (R) is arranged between the lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4) and the image sensor (I), and can receive light through the lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4) in the direction of the optical axis (A). In one embodiment, the optical member (R) can reflect and / or refract light incident through the lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4) in the direction of the optical axis (A) at least once, thereby emitting the light in a direction intersecting the optical axis (A). Such optical members (R) may include, for example, mirrors and / or prisms.

[0135] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (400) (e.g., the processor (120) of FIG. 1) and / or the imaging device (600) may perform image stabilization by rotating or tilting the optical member (R) about the optical axis (A). The “tilt operation” may include, for example, an operation in which the optical member (R) rotates around an arbitrary axis intersecting the optical axis (A). The center axis of the tilt operation may be set in various ways depending on the structure of the imaging device (600) and / or the electronic device (400) to be actually manufactured. In one embodiment, a subject tracking function may be performed through the rotational or tilting operation of the optical member (R). For example, the processor (120) may perform an image stabilization operation or a subject tracking function by rotating or tilting the optical member (R). In one embodiment, the processor (120) may perform a focus adjustment operation by moving the image sensor (I) forward and backward along the direction in which light is incident on the imaging plane (img), and / or may perform an image stabilization operation by moving the image sensor (I) in a plane substantially perpendicular to the direction in which light is incident. When including an additional optical member not shown, the imaging device (600) or the electronic device (400) may perform an image stabilization operation or a subject tracking function using the additional optical member.

[0136] According to one embodiment, the imaging device described above and / or described below (e.g., the imaging device (600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500) of FIG. 8, FIG. 12, FIG. 16, FIG. 20, FIG. 24, FIG. 28, FIG. 32, FIG. 36, FIG. 40 and / or FIG. 41) or the lens assembly (LA) of the imaging device can satisfy the condition of the following [Mathematical Formula 1].

[0137]

[0138] Here, 'f12' is the composite focal length of the first lens (L1) and the second lens (L2), 'f34' is the composite focal length of the third lens (L3) and the fourth lens (L4), 'V1' is the Abbe number of the first lens (L1), 'V2' is the Abbe number of the second lens (L2), 'V3' is the Abbe number of the third lens (L3), 'V4' is the Abbe number of the fourth lens (L4), and 'Vp' may be the Abbe number of the optical member (R). The value calculated by [Mathematical Formula 1] may be a value in the unit of 'mm'. [Mathematical expression 1], for example, presents conditions regarding the refractive power and material (e.g., Abbe number) of lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4) in an imaging device (600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500). When the calculated value of [Mathematical expression 1] is less than -0.9 or greater than -0.5, chromatic aberration due to the optical member (R) may increase, or spherical aberration or field curvature may increase. For example, when the condition of [Mathematical expression 1] is satisfied, the lens assembly (LA) and / or the imaging device (600) may easily improve chromatic aberration while including an optical member (R) such as a prism. When the condition of [Mathematical Formula 1] is satisfied, the combination of the refractive power and the material (e.g., Abbe number) of the lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4) in the lens assembly (LA) and / or the imaging device (600) can be easily performed, thereby suppressing spherical aberration or field curvature. For example, the sensitivity can be lowered in the manufacturing or assembly of the lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4), thereby realizing good optical performance. In one embodiment, the lens assembly (LA) and / or the imaging device (600) satisfying the condition of [Mathematical Formula 1] can provide a field of view (FOV) of about 15 degrees to about 35 degrees. For example, the lens assembly (LA) and / or the imaging device (600) satisfying the condition of [Mathematical Formula 1] can include an optical member (R) such as a mirror or a prism, and can be easily manufactured and improve chromatic aberration, while providing good telephoto performance.

[0139] In one embodiment, at least one of the first lens (L1) and the second lens (L2) may have an Abbe number of about 50 or greater. In one embodiment, both the first lens (L1) and the second lens (L2) may have an Abbe number of about 50 or greater. When the conditions of the first lens (L1) and the second lens (L2) with respect to the Abbe number are satisfied, the lens assembly (LA) and / or the imaging device (600) may be easily improved in chromatic aberration and may have low sensitivity in manufacturing or assembling the lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4). In one embodiment, when the conditions of the first lens (L1) and the second lens (L2) with respect to the Abbe number are satisfied, field curvature in the lens assembly (LA) and / or the imaging device (600) may be suppressed to provide an image of a subject with improved quality.

[0140] In one embodiment, at least one of the third lens (L3) and the fourth lens (L4) may have an Abbe number of about 40 or less. In one embodiment, both the third lens (L3) and the fourth lens (L4) may have an Abbe number of about 40 or less. When the conditions of the third lens (L3) and the fourth lens (L4) with respect to the Abbe number are satisfied, the lens assembly (LA) and / or the imaging device (600) may be easily improved in chromatic aberration and may have low sensitivity in manufacturing or assembling the lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4). In one embodiment, when the conditions of the third lens (L3) and the fourth lens (L4) with respect to the Abbe number are satisfied, field curvature in the lens assembly (LA) and / or the imaging device (600) may be suppressed to provide an image of a subject with improved quality.

[0141] The manufacturing specifications of FIG. 8, FIG. 12, FIG. 16, FIG. 20, FIG. 24, FIG. 28, FIG. 32, FIG. 36, FIG. 40, and / or FIG. 41 (600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500), the manufacturing specifications of the lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4, L5) and / or the calculated values ​​of each embodiment according to [Mathematical Formula 1] are exemplified in [Table 1] and [Table 2]. In [Table 1] and [Table 2], the image height (IMG HT) can be understood as the maximum distance from the point where the optical axis (A) intersects the image sensor (I) to the edge of the imaging plane (img), for example, half of the diagonal length of the imaging plane (img).

[0142] The imaging device (600) of Fig. 8, the imaging device (700) of Fig. 12, the imaging device (800) of Fig. 16, and the imaging device (900) of Fig. 20, the total focal length (mm) 16.93 16.92 16.92 19.55, the angle of view (FOV) (degree) 23232324, and the height (IMG) HT)(mm)3.53.53.54.2F number(Fno)2.83.02.83.0Effective focal length(EFL)(mm)f114.1214.7514.1311.93f226.5426.5426.9628.42f3-19.06-14.34-17.93-24.70f4-44.49134.24-62.08-71.00f5N / AN / AN / A-16.92f129.239.469.358.50f34-13.51-16.99-14.11-18.00Refractive index(nd)L11.5931.5441 .5931.544L21.5441.5441.5441.544L31.6151.681.6151.62L41.6801.641.6801.680L5N / AN / AN / A1.567Prism1.5501.521.5901.544Abbe number(Abv)L155.955.955.955.9L255.955.955.955.9L318.118.118.125.8L419.223.5119.219.0L5N / AN / AN / A37.4Prism40.164.135.164.0[Mathematical formula 1] Output value -0.697-0.505-0.839-0.509

[0144] More specific data regarding the shape and arrangement of the imaging device (600) and / or the lens assembly (LA) of FIG. 8 are exemplified in [Table 3], [Table 4] and / or [Table 5]. The data in [Table 3] may additionally exemplify the radius of curvature of the lens surface at the point where the optical axis (A) intersects, or the thickness and arrangement interval of the lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4), and [Table 4] and / or [Table 5] describe the aspherical coefficients of the lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4), and the definition of aspherical can be calculated through the following [Mathematical Formula 2].

[0145]

[0146] In [Mathematical Formula 2], "z" is the distance in the direction of the optical axis (A) from the point where the optical axis (A) passes on the lens surface, "y" is the distance from the optical axis (A) in the vertical direction from the optical axis (A), 'c'' is the reciprocal of the radius of curvature at the vertex of the lens, 'k' is the Conic constant, and 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H', 'J', 'K', 'L', 'M', 'N', and 'O' may each represent an aspherical coefficient. The 'reciprocal of the radius of curvature' may represent a value (e.g., curvature) indicating the degree of curvature at each point of a curved surface or curve.

[0187] Referring to FIGS. 40 and 41, the optical member (R) disposed between the lens assembly (LA) and the image sensor (I) to convert the path of light may have a polygonal shape, for example, a parallelogram column shape as in FIG. 40 or a trapezoidal column shape as in FIG. 41. For example, depending on the position and shape of the optical member (R), the position or direction of the image sensor (I) with respect to the lens assembly (LA) may be implemented in various ways. Depending on the shape of the optical member (R), light incident on the optical member (R) through the lens assembly (LA) may be reflected at least once inside the optical member (R) and then emitted to the outside of the optical member (R) through a surface directed toward the image sensor (I).

Accordingly, it can be easy to mount an imaging device having high optical performance (e.g., telephoto performance) in a miniaturized and lightweight electronic device such as a smart phone (e.g., the electronic devices (101, 102, 104, 200, 300, 400) of FIGS. 1 to 6).
