Description

Lens, projection device, display device and vehicle

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the China Patent Office on December 4, 2023, with application number 202311656490.6 and application name “Lens, projection device, display device and vehicle”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0002] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of optical technology, and in particular to a lens, a projection device, a display device, and a vehicle. Background Art

[0003] With the development of smart car technology, augmented display head-up display (AR-HUD) has gradually become the mainstream configuration of smart car cockpits. Through the augmented display head-up display, the image to be displayed can be integrated with the real-time road surface, so that the driver can see the speed, navigation, signal lights and other information of the car while looking at the road, so that there is no need to look down at the instrument panel or central control display under the steering wheel, which can greatly improve the braking reaction time in an emergency and improve driving safety. In related technologies, the vehicle-mounted head-up display includes a projection optical engine and a projection lens. The projection optical engine modulates the navigation, instrument and other information to be displayed into a light beam and shoots it to the projection lens. The projection lens projects the image beam onto the projection surface, so that the real-time road surface is integrated with the information to be displayed. However, the existing projection lens has the problem of low clarity. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The embodiments of the present application provide a lens, a projection device, a display device, and a vehicle, which can improve the clarity of the lens to meet the needs of high-definition projection.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides a lens comprising a first lens group, an aperture, and a second lens group, arranged from the image side to the object side. The first lens group comprises at least three lens elements. In the direction from the image side to the object side, the first lens element closest to the image side in the first lens group has negative focal power, the second lens element has positive focal power, and the third lens element has negative focal power. The second lens group comprises at least three lens elements. In the direction from the image side to the object side, the second lens element closest to the aperture has positive focal power, and the third lens element has positive focal power.

[0006] Because the three lens elements closest to the image side in the first lens group have a negative-positive-negative optical power structure, and the second and third lens elements closest to the aperture in the second lens group both have positive optical powers, the imaging capability of the lens is improved, thereby increasing the lens's clarity to meet high-definition requirements. Furthermore, the reliability of the lens is also improved to meet high-reliability requirements.

[0007] In a possible implementation, the lens satisfies the relationship: 100 mm ≤ L ≤ 150 mm, where L is the distance between the image side surface of the lens closest to the image side and the projected image plane.

[0008] When the distance between the lens closest to the image side and the projected image plane is between 100mm and 150mm, the clarity can be further improved to meet the requirements of high-definition lenses.

[0009] In a possible implementation, the lens satisfies the relationship: 12.5 mm ≤ EFL ≤ 14.5 mm, where EFL is the focal length of the lens.

[0010] When the focal length of the lens is between 12.5 mm and 14.5 mm, the imaging capability of the lens can be further improved, and the clarity of the lens can be further improved.

[0011] In a possible implementation, the lens satisfies the relationship: -94 mm ≤ R1 ≤ 367 mm, where R1 refers to the curvature radius of the image side surface of the lens element closest to the image side in the lens.

[0012] When the radius of curvature of the image side of the lens element closest to the image side is between -94mm and 367mm, this prevents the image side of the lens element closest to the image side from being too flat, which facilitates aberration correction. It also prevents the image side of the lens element closest to the image side from being too protruding, which facilitates packaging, transportation, or assembly.

[0013] In a possible implementation, the lens satisfies the relationship: -113 mm ≤ R2 ≤ 30 mm, where R2 refers to the radius of curvature of the object side of the lens element closest to the object side.

[0014] When the radius of curvature of the object side of the lens element closest to the object side is between -113mm and 30mm, this aspect of the lens can be prevented from being too flat, facilitating aberration correction. It can also prevent the object side of the lens element closest to the object side from being too protruding, facilitating packaging, transportation, or assembly.

[0015] In a possible implementation, the lens satisfies the relationship: -7≤R1 / EFL≤27, where R1 refers to the radius of curvature of the image side of the lens element closest to the image side, and EFL is the focal length of the lens.

[0016] When the ratio of the curvature radius of the image side of the lens element closest to the image side to the focal length is between -7 and 27, the image side of the lens element closest to the image side can be prevented from being too flat, which is beneficial for aberration correction. It can also prevent the image side of the lens element closest to the image side from being too protruding, which is beneficial for packaging, transportation, or assembly.

[0017] In a possible implementation, the lens satisfies the relationship: -8.5≤R2 / EFL≤-0.15, where R2 refers to the radius of curvature of the object side of the lens element closest to the object side, and EFL is the focal length of the lens.

[0018] When the ratio of the radius of curvature of the object side of the lens closest to the object side to the focal length is between -8.5 and -0.15, this aspect of the lens can be prevented from being too flat, facilitating aberration correction. It can also prevent the object side of the lens closest to the object side from being too protruding, facilitating packaging, transportation, or assembly.

[0019] In a possible implementation, the lens satisfies the relationship: 25 mm ≤ BFL ≤ 30 mm, where BFL is the back focal length of the lens.

[0020] When the back focal length of the lens is between 25mm and 30mm, the lens's optical path can be prevented from being too long or too short, thereby expanding the lens's application range. However, an optical path that is too long is not conducive to design, while an optical path that is too short is not conducive to setting up the back-end optical path.

[0021] In a possible implementation, the first lens group satisfies the relationship: -18 mm ≤ EFL1 ≤ 9 mm, where EFL1 refers to the focal length of the first lens group.

[0022] When the focal length of the first lens group is between -18mm and 9mm, the imaging capability of the lens can be further improved, the clarity can be further enhanced, and the compactness of the lens can be improved.

[0023] In a possible implementation, the second lens group satisfies the relationship: 12.58 mm ≤ EFL2 ≤ 15.98 mm, where EFL2 refers to the focal length of the second lens group.

[0024] When the focal length of the second lens group is between 12.58mm and 15.98mm, the imaging capability of the lens can be further improved, which can further enhance the clarity. In addition, the compactness of the lens can be improved. Furthermore, the matching degree between the chief ray angle of the back-end chip (such as the digital micro-mirror array) and the chief ray angle of the lens can be improved to improve optical efficiency.

[0025] In a possible embodiment, along the direction from the image side to the object side, the first lens element in the second lens group closest to the aperture stop has positive refractive power or negative refractive power.

[0026] When the first lens element closest to the aperture in the second lens group has positive or negative focal power, the imaging capability of the lens can be further improved.

[0027] In one possible embodiment, the first lens group includes a first lens with negative refractive power, a second lens with positive refractive power, and a third lens with negative refractive power, arranged from the image side to the object side, with the first lens closest to the image side and the third lens closest to the aperture stop. The second lens group includes a fourth lens with positive refractive power, a fifth lens with positive refractive power, and a sixth lens with positive refractive power, arranged from the image side to the object side, with the fourth lens closest to the aperture stop and the sixth lens closest to the object side.

[0028] When the first lens group is composed of a first lens element with negative optical power, a second lens element with positive optical power, and a third lens element with negative optical power, and the second lens group is composed of a fourth lens element, a fifth lens element with positive optical power, and a sixth lens element with positive optical power, the imaging capability of the lens can be improved to meet the requirements of high clarity and high reliability. In addition, the number of lens elements can be reduced, thereby reducing the cost of the lens.

[0029] A second aspect of the present application provides a projection device, comprising a display unit and a lens as described in any one of the first aspects, wherein the second lens group of the lens is close to the display unit, wherein the display unit is configured to emit image light toward the lens.

[0030] A third aspect of the present application provides a display device comprising an imaging module and the projection device according to the second aspect, wherein the imaging module generates a target image based on image light emitted by the projection device.

[0031] A fourth aspect of the present application provides a vehicle comprising a display device as described in the third aspect.

[0032] In one possible embodiment, the display device is installed in a dashboard of a vehicle.

[0033] In a possible implementation, the vehicle further includes a windshield, and the image light emitted by the display device is incident on the windshield, and the windshield reflects the image light to human eyes. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0058] The terms used in the implementation section of this application are only used to explain the specific embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0059] To facilitate understanding, the relevant technical terms involved in the embodiments of this application are first explained and illustrated.

[0060] Focal length, also known as focal length, is a measure of the convergence or divergence of light in an optical system. It refers to the vertical distance from the optical center of a lens or lens group to the focal plane when an infinitely distant scene forms a clear image on the focal plane through a lens or lens group.

[0061] The image side, with the lens as the boundary, the side where the image is located is the image side, and the side of the lens facing the image side is the image side of the lens.

[0062] The object side, where the modulation unit (eg, DMD) is located, is the object side, and the side of the lens facing the object side is the object side surface.

[0063] The back focal length (BFL) is defined as the distance from the lens element closest to the imaging surface to the modulation unit (eg, DMD).

[0064] Optical power represents the ability of a lens to refract an incident parallel light beam.

[0065] Positive optical power means that the lens has a positive focal length and has the effect of converging light.

[0066] Negative optical power means that the lens has a negative focal length and has the effect of diverging light.

[0067] The aperture is a device used to control the amount of light that passes through the lens and enters the interior of an electronic device. It is usually located inside the lens and is expressed in F# (F-number).

[0068] The aperture number F# is a relative value obtained by dividing the focal length of the lens by the diameter of the lens (the inverse of the relative aperture). The smaller the aperture number F#, the more light enters in the same unit time.

[0069] Cover glass (CG) is used to protect the modulation unit (such as DMD).

[0070] The modulation unit is used to modulate the light beam emitted by the light source to generate image light directed to the lens.

[0071] The projection chip is used to modulate the light beam emitted by the light source to generate image light that is directed to the lens.

[0072] Digital micromirror devices (DMD) are used to reflect light to form images.

[0073] Liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) is used to reflect light to form images.

[0074] Axial chromatic aberration, also known as longitudinal chromatic aberration or positional chromatic aberration, occurs when a beam of light parallel to the optical axis converges at different positions before and after passing through a lens. This is called positional chromatic aberration or axial chromatic aberration. This is because the lens positions images of different wavelengths of light differently, resulting in images of different colors not completely overlapping on the imaging plane. This causes the complex colors of light to scatter and form dispersion.

[0075] Distortion, also known as distortion, refers to the degree to which the image formed by an optical system is distorted relative to the object itself. Distortion is caused by aperture aberration. The height at which the chief rays of light from different fields of view intersect the Gaussian image plane after passing through the optical system is not equal to the ideal image height. The difference between the two is the distortion. Therefore, distortion only changes the image position of off-axis object points on the ideal plane, distorting the image shape but not affecting image clarity.

[0076] The augmented reality (AR) head-up display (AR-HUD) proposed in recent years can integrate the AR effect of the HUD projection display with the real road information, enhance the driver's acquisition of road information, and realize AR navigation, AR warning and other functions. In related technologies, the enhanced display head-up display includes a projection optical engine and a projection lens. The projection optical engine is used to modulate the navigation, instrument and other information to be displayed into an imaging beam and direct it to the projection lens. The projection lens projects the imaging beam onto the projection surface to form an image, so that the real-time road surface is integrated with the information to be displayed. However, existing projection lenses have problems such as low clarity and low reliability, resulting in poor imaging quality and unable to meet the requirements of high-definition and high-reliability projection.

[0077] In view of this, the embodiments of the present application provide a lens 100, a projection device 400, a display device 500, and a vehicle. The lens 100 has a strong imaging capability, which can improve image clarity to meet the requirements of high-definition projection. In addition, the lens 100 has high reliability, which can meet the requirements of high-reliability projection.

[0078] The means of transportation provided in the embodiments of the present application may include but are not limited to cars, trucks, motorcycles, buses, ships, airplanes, helicopters, lawn mowers, recreational vehicles, amusement park vehicles, construction equipment, trams, golf carts, trains or carts, etc. For example, in the embodiments of the present application, a car is used as an example of the above-mentioned means of transportation, and thus the means of transportation may include components such as a windshield and an instrument panel.

[0079] The display device 500 provided in the embodiment of the present application can be a display, a television or a head-up display, etc. For example, in the embodiment of the present application, a head-up display is used as an example to illustrate the above-mentioned display device 500, as shown in Figure 1A, which is a structural schematic diagram of the use scenario of the display device provided in the embodiment of the present application. Among them, the head-up display (HUD for short) can project navigation information, instrument information, etc. into the driver's front field of view to prevent the driver from lowering his head to view this information, thereby affecting driving safety. After the image projected by the HUD is reflected by the windshield (windshield), a virtual image is formed on the outside of the vehicle. These virtual images can be superimposed on the real environment outside the vehicle, so that the driver can obtain an augmented reality (AR) visual effect, thereby realizing AR navigation, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and other functions. Among them, the types of HUD include but are not limited to windshield (W)-HUD, augmented reality head-up display (AR-HUD), etc.

[0080] FIG1B is a schematic structural diagram of a display device provided in an embodiment of the present application installed on a vehicle.

[0081] 1B , the display device 500 can be installed in a vehicle dashboard to achieve a concealed installation. Furthermore, the image light emitted by the display device 500 can be incident on a windshield, which can reflect the image light toward the human eye, allowing the human eye to see a virtual image located outside the windshield.

[0082] 1B , the display device 500 may include a projection device 400 and an imaging module 600 . The imaging module 600 may generate a target image based on the image light emitted by the projection device 400 .

[0083] The imaging module 600 may reflect the image light emitted by the projection device 400 to the windshield, and the windshield may reflect the image light to the human eye to form a target image.

[0084] The specific structure of imaging module 600 is not limited here. For example, as shown in Figure 2, imaging module 600 may include a curved mirror that reflects the image light emitted by projection device 400 toward a windshield, which in turn reflects the image light toward the user's eyes. Furthermore, because the concave surface of the curved mirror reflects the imaging light, the image generated by projection device 400 can be magnified by the curved mirror, allowing the user to see a magnified virtual image.

[0085] 1B , the projection device 400 may include a display unit 700 and a lens 100 . The display unit 700 is configured to emit image light toward the lens 100 , and the lens transmits the image light to the imaging module 600 .

[0086] The display unit 700 may include a light source 710 and a modulation unit 200. The light source 710 is used to generate a light beam carrying image data of an input image. The modulation unit 200 is used to modulate the light beam according to the image data and generate image light.

[0087] The specific structure of the modulation unit 200 is not limited here. For example, the modulation unit 200 may be a projection chip. The projection chip may be a reflective spatial light modulator that has the function of changing the polarization direction of incident linearly polarized light, such as an LCoS. Alternatively, the projection chip may be a reflective spatial light modulator that does not have the function of changing the polarization direction of incident linearly polarized light, such as a MEMS or DMD. Alternatively, the projection chip may be a transmissive spatial light modulator, such as an LCD.

[0088] In some possible implementations, the projection device 400 may further include a cover glass 300. The cover glass 300 is disposed between the lens 100 and the modulation unit 200 in the direction from the image side to the object side. The cover glass 300 may protect the modulation unit 200. The number of cover glasses 300 may be one or more, and is not limited herein. When there are multiple cover glasses 300, all of the cover glasses 300 are disposed between the modulation unit 200 and the lens 100.

[0089] The lens 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0090] FIG2 is a schematic structural diagram of a lens provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0091] As shown in FIG2 , the lens system 100 according to an embodiment of the present application includes a first lens group 10, an aperture 20, and a second lens group 30, arranged from the image side to the object side. The first lens group 10 includes at least three lens elements. For example, as shown in FIG2 , the first lens group 10 may include three lens elements. Of course, the number of lens elements in the first lens group 10 may also be more or less than three. In the direction from the image side to the object side, the first lens element closest to the image side in the first lens group 10 has negative focal power, the second lens element has positive focal power, and the third lens element has negative focal power. The second lens group 30 includes at least three lens elements. For example, as shown in FIG2 , the second lens group 30 may include three lens elements. Of course, the number of lens elements in the second lens group 30 may also be more or less than three. In the direction from the image side to the object side, the second lens element closest to the aperture 20 in the second lens group 30 has positive focal power, and the third lens element has positive focal power.

[0092] As can be seen from FIG. 2 , because the three lens elements closest to the image side in the first lens group 10 have a negative-positive-negative optical power structure, and the second and third lens elements closest to the aperture 20 in the second lens group 30 both have positive optical powers, the imaging capability of the lens 100 can be improved, thereby increasing the clarity of the lens 100 to meet the requirements of a high-definition lens 100. Furthermore, the reliability of the lens 100 can be improved to meet the requirements of a high-reliability lens 100.

[0093] There is no limitation on the number of lenses in the first lens group 10 and the second lens group 30. For example, as shown in FIG2 , the first lens group 10 and the second lens group 30 are each composed of three lenses. As shown in FIG2 , the first lens group 10 may include a first lens group 11 with negative optical power, a second lens group 12 with positive optical power, and a third lens group 13 with negative optical power, arranged from the image side to the object side. The first lens group 11 is closest to the image side, and the third lens group 13 is closest to the aperture 20. For example, as shown in FIG2 , the second lens group 30 may include a fourth lens group 31 with positive optical power, a fifth lens group 32 with positive optical power, and a sixth lens group 33 with positive optical power, arranged from the image side to the object side. The fourth lens group 31 is closest to the aperture 20, and the sixth lens group 33 is closest to the object side.

[0094] When the first lens group 10 is composed of a first lens element 11 having negative power, a second lens element 12 having positive power, and a third lens element 13 having negative power, and the second lens group 30 is composed of a fourth lens element 31, a fifth lens element 32 having positive power, and a sixth lens element 33 having positive power, the imaging capability of the lens 100 can be improved to meet the requirements of high definition and high reliability for the lens 100. In addition, the number of lens elements can be reduced, thereby reducing the cost of the lens 100.

[0095] It should be noted that when the first lens group 10 includes at least four lenses, the lenses in the first lens group 10 other than the three lenses closest to the image side are disposed between the third lens closest to the image side and the aperture 20, in other words, between the third lens 13 and the aperture 20. Similarly, when the second lens group 30 includes at least four lenses, the lenses in the second lens group 30 other than the three lenses closest to the aperture 20 are disposed between the third lens closest to the aperture 20 and the object side (or the modulation unit 200), in other words, between the third lens 13 and the object side (or the modulation unit 200).

[0096] In some possible implementations, the lens 100 may also satisfy the relationship: 100mm≤L≤150mm, where L is the distance between the image side surface of the lens closest to the image side in the lens 100 and the projected image plane (as shown by L in FIG2 ).

[0097] Accordingly, when the distance between the lens element closest to the image side in the lens 100 and the projection image plane is between 100 mm and 150 mm, the clarity can be further improved to meet the high-definition requirements of the lens 100 .

[0098] There is no limitation on the specific value of L. L can be 100 mm, 105 mm, 110 mm, 115 mm, 120 mm, 121 mm, 125 mm, 128 mm, 130 mm, 131.5 mm, 135 mm, 139 mm, 140 mm, 143 mm, 145.5 mm, 148 mm, or 150 mm, etc.

[0099] In some possible implementations, the lens 100 may further satisfy the relationship: 12.5 mm≤EFL≤14.5 mm, where EFL is the focal length of the lens 100 .

[0100] Accordingly, when the focal length of the lens 100 is between 12.5 mm and 14.5 mm, the imaging capability of the lens 100 can be further improved, and the clarity of the lens 100 can be further improved.

[0101] There is no limitation on the specific value of the focal length of the lens 100. The focal length of the lens 100 may be 12.5 mm, 12.6165 mm, 13 mm, 13.325 mm, 13.5 mm, 13.6 mm, 13.99 mm, 14.0 mm, 14.1 mm, 14.2 mm, 14.3 mm, 14.4 mm, or 14.5 mm.

[0102] In some possible implementations, the lens 100 may also satisfy the relationship: -94 mm ≤ R1 ≤ 367 mm, where R1 refers to the curvature radius of the image side surface of the lens element closest to the image side in the lens 100 .

[0103] Accordingly, when the radius of curvature of the image side surface of the lens element closest to the image side in lens 100 is between -94 mm and 367 mm, the image side surface of the lens element closest to the image side in lens 100 can be prevented from being too flat, which facilitates aberration correction. Furthermore, the image side surface of the lens element closest to the image side in lens 100 can be prevented from being too protruding, which facilitates packaging, transportation, or assembly.

[0104] There is no limitation on the specific value of R1, and the value of R1 can be -94mm, -90mm, -60mm, -30mm, -10mm, 10mm, 40.1mm, 40.5mm, 45mm, 49mm, 50mm, 55mm, 59mm, 65mm, 66mm, 69.698mm, 100mm, 150mm, 200mm, 250mm, 260mm, 300mm, 350mm, 360mm, 365mm, or 366.985mm.

[0105] In some possible implementations, the lens 100 may further satisfy the relationship: -113 mm ≤ R2 ≤ 30 mm, where R2 refers to the radius of curvature of the object side of the lens element closest to the object side in the lens 100 .

[0106] Accordingly, when the radius of curvature of the object side of the lens element closest to the object side in lens 100 is between -113 mm and 30 mm, this can prevent the object side of the lens element closest to the object side in lens 100 from being too flat, facilitating aberration correction. Furthermore, this can prevent the object side of the lens element closest to the object side in lens 100 from being too protruding, facilitating packaging, transportation, or assembly.

[0107] There is no limitation on the specific value of R2, and the value of R2 can be -113mm, -90mm, -50mm, -30mm, -10mm, 10mm, 17.5mm, 17.95mm, 18mm, 18.5mm, 19mm, 19.5mm, 20mm, 25mm, 28mm, 29mm, or 30mm.

[0108] In some possible implementations, the lens 100 may further satisfy the relationship: -7≤R1 / EFL≤27, where R1 refers to the curvature radius of the image side surface of the lens element closest to the image side in the lens 100 , and EFL is the focal length of the lens 100 .

[0109] Accordingly, when the ratio of the radius of curvature of the image side surface of the lens element closest to the image side in lens 100 to the focal length of lens 100 is between -7 and 27, the image side surface of the lens element closest to the image side in lens 100 can be prevented from being too flat, which facilitates aberration correction. Furthermore, the image side surface of the lens element closest to the image side in lens 100 can be prevented from being too protruding, which facilitates packaging, transportation, or assembly.

[0110] There is no limitation on the specific value of the R1 / EFL ratio, and the R1 / EFL ratio may be -7, -6.982, -5, -3, -1, -0.49, -0.45, -0.40, -0.35, -0.30, -0.25, -0.2, -0.15, -0.10, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, or 26.658.

[0111] In some possible implementations, the lens 100 may further satisfy the relationship: -8.5≤R2 / EFL≤-0.15, where R2 refers to the curvature radius of the object side surface of the lens element closest to the object side in the lens 100 , and EFL is the focal length of the lens 100 .

[0112] Accordingly, when the ratio of the radius of curvature of the object side of the lens element closest to the object side of lens 100 to the focal length of lens 100 is between -8.5 and -0.15, the object side of the lens element closest to the object side of lens 100 can be prevented from being too flat, which facilitates aberration correction. Furthermore, the object side of the lens element closest to the object side of lens 100 can be prevented from being too protruding, which facilitates packaging, transportation, or assembly.

[0113] There is no limitation on the specific value of the R2 / EFL ratio, and the R2 / EFL ratio may be -8.5, -8, -7, -6, -5, -3, -1, -0.69, -0.60, -0.50, -0.49, -0.45, -0.40, -0.35, -0.30, -0.25, -0.2, or -0.15.

[0114] In some possible implementations, the lens 100 may further satisfy the relationship: 25 mm ≤ BFL ≤ 30 mm, where BFL is the back focal length of the lens 100 .

[0115] Accordingly, when the back focal length of the lens 100 is between 25 mm and 30 mm, the optical path of the lens 100 can be prevented from being too long or too short, thereby increasing the application range of the lens 100. However, an optical path of the lens 100 that is too long is not conducive to design, while an optical path of the lens 100 that is too short is not conducive to the configuration of the rear optical path.

[0116] There is no limitation on the specific value of BFL, and BFL may be 25 mm, 25.5 mm, 26 mm, 26.5 mm, 27 mm, 27.5 mm, 28 mm, 28.5 mm, 29 mm, 29.5 mm, or 30 mm.

[0117] In some possible implementations, the first lens group 10 may further satisfy the relationship: −18 mm ≤ EFL1 ≤ 9 mm, where EFL1 refers to the focal length of the first lens group 10 .

[0118] Accordingly, when the focal length of the first lens group 10 is between -18 mm and 9 mm, the imaging capability of the lens 100 can be further improved, the clarity can be further enhanced, and the compactness of the lens 100 can be improved.

[0119] There is no limitation on the specific value of EFL1, and the value of EFL1 can be -18mm, -17.5mm, -17mm, -16mm, -15mm, -13mm, -10mm, -5mm, 1mm, 5mm, 7mm, 8.5mm, or 9mm.

[0120] In some possible implementations, the second lens group 30 may further satisfy the relationship: 12.58 mm≤EFL2≤15.98 mm, where EFL2 refers to the focal length of the second lens group 30 .

[0121] Accordingly, when the focal length of the second lens group 30 is between 12.58 mm and 15.98 mm, the imaging capability of the lens 100 can be further enhanced, further improving clarity. Furthermore, the compactness of the lens 100 can be improved. Furthermore, the matching degree between the chief ray angle of the back-end chip (e.g., a digital micro-mirror array) and the chief ray angle of the lens 100 can be improved, thereby improving optical efficiency.

[0122] There is no limitation on the specific value of EFL2, and the value of EFL2 can be 12.58 mm, 12.985 mm, 13 mm, 13.564 mm, 13.987 mm, 14 mm, 14.105 mm, 14.5 mm, 15 mm, 15.5 mm, or 15.98 mm.

[0123] In some possible implementations, along the direction from the image side to the object side, the first lens element in the second lens group 30 closest to the aperture 20 can have positive or negative optical power. For example, as shown in FIG. 2 , the fourth lens element 31 in the second lens group 30 can have positive optical power. Of course, the fourth lens element 31 can also have negative optical power.

[0124] Accordingly, when the first lens element in the second lens group 30 closest to the aperture 20 has positive or negative optical power, the imaging capability of the lens 100 can be further improved.

[0125] It should be noted that the first lens element closest to the aperture 20 in the second lens group 30 does not have to have any optical power. Under the constraints that the three lenses closest to the image side in the first lens group 10 have a negative-positive-negative optical power structure and the second and third lenses closest to the aperture 20 in the second lens group 30 have positive optical power, the lens 100 can also have high clarity and high reliability.
