Abstract
Description
OPTICAL SYSTEM AND ELECTRONIC DEVICETECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to an optical system including a plurality of lenses and lens groups, and to an electronic device having them.BACKGROUND
[0002] In recent years, popularity of small electronic devices such as digital cameras and mobile phone terminals has been remarkable, and it is common for these electronic devices to have built-in compact camera modules. There is a strong demand for such camera modules to be miniaturized, especially in the thickness direction of electronic devices.
[0003] On the other hand, image quality of a camera system mounted on the electronic device is also being improved. Also, in order to improve the image quality, an increasing number of electronic devices use large image sensors and employ large aperture lenses. In addition, macro photography using telephoto lenses is spreading as a new added value for electronic devices. Therefore, there is a need for a lens system that also satisfies a macro photography function at the same time.
[0004] However, these demands on the camera module and the lens system are contradictory and are difficult to meet them at the extension of conventional lens technology. Especially in the case of telephoto lens systems, because a focal length is longer, how to achieve miniaturization while maintaining brightness, large aperture, and the macro photography function is a very big challenge.
[0005] For example, a lens system described in US Patent No. 11, 194, 133 can be considered as a technique for reducing the size of lens system. In this lens system, a light bending prism is arranged on the object side, and a focus group composed of a lens element having a refractive power and an image sensor are arranged on the image side. Then, focusing is performed by moving the focus group. According to this lens system, the height of the camera module can be limited to the height of the image sensor. Therefore, increasing the number of lenses and increasing the size of the focus group does not affect the height of the camera module. Such a lens system consists of two focusing lens groups that move the lens group during focusing. However, the focusing lens group cannot have sufficient power, and it is difficult to achieve optical magnification required for macro photography. Also, from the viewpoint of a layout of the image sensor, the size of the image sensor is directly proportional to the height of the camera module. That is, the height of the image sensor directly leads to the size of the camera, which is disadvantageous to upsizing of the image sensor. Therefore, it is difficult for this lens system to balance improvement of image quality by a large image sensor with the miniaturization of the lens system.
[0006] In addition, as a configuration to realize the macro photography function, macro lenses described in US Patent No. 10, 215, 999 is known. The macro lens comprises a first focus lens group having a negative refractive power and a second focus lens group having a positive refractive power. The two focus lens groups are then moved by different moving amounts. Because this configuration complicates a configuration of the focus lens group, it is difficult to achieve miniaturization. Alternatively, macro lenses described in US Patent No. 7, 009, 779 are known as another configuration. In this macro lens, when focusing from an infinite distance to a short distance, a front lens group moves forward to an object plane, and this architecture must change lens system’s length longer. This configuration makes it difficult to reduce the size because the total length of the lens varies and becomes longer during focusing.SUMMARY
[0007] The present disclosure was made in view of the above problems, and the object is to simultaneously realize miniaturization of a camera employing a large image sensor and an autofocus function that realizes a macro function.
[0008] According to the first aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided an optical system comprising a first reflecting member provided on an object side and a second reflecting member provided on an imaging surface side,
[0009] wherein each of the first reflecting member and the second reflecting member has lens shapes having refractive power on an incident surface and an emission surface.
[0010] According to this aspect, in an optical system comprising a first reflecting member and a second reflecting member, each of the first reflecting member and the second reflecting member has lens shapes having refractive power on an incident surface and an emission surface. Therefore, since the height of the optical system does not depend on the height of the image sensor, it is possible to simultaneously realize miniaturization of a camera and an autofocus function that realizes the macro function.
[0011] According to a possible implementation of the first aspect, the optical system includes:
[0012] a first lens group including the first reflecting member and having positive refractive power;
[0013] a second lens group having the positive refractive power; and
[0014] a third lens group including the second reflecting member and having negative refractive power.
[0015] According to this implementation, since a focusing lens group can have sufficient power, the autofocus function that realizes a macro function can be realized.
[0016] According to a possible implementation of the first aspect, the second lens group is configured to be movable in an optical axis direction.
[0017] According to this implementation, it is possible to focus from an infinite distance to a short distance by extending the second lens group toward the object side.
[0018] According to a possible implementation of a first aspect, at least one surface of at least one of the first reflecting member and the second reflecting member has an aspheric lens shape.
[0019] According to this implementation, at least one surface can be in the shape of an aspheric lens to achieve an optical system with image less distortion.
[0020] According to a possible implementation of a first aspect, the aspheric lens shape includes an inflection point when an emission surface of the second reflecting member has the aspheric lens shape.
[0021] According to this implementation, the spherical aberration can be removed using an aspherical lens shape that includes an inflection point.
[0022] According to a possible implementation of the first aspect, the incident surface of the first reflecting member has positive refractive power, and the emission surface of the first reflecting member has negative refractive power.
[0023] According to this implementation, since the incident surface of the first reflecting member has positive refractive power and the emission surface has negative refractive power, it is possible to correct chromatic aberration in the first lens group.
[0024] According to a possible implementation of the first aspect, the incident surface and the emission surface of the second reflecting member have negative refractive power.
[0025] According to this implementation, because the incident surface and the emission surface of the second reflecting member have negative refractive power, a chromatic aberration can be corrected in the third lens group.
[0026] According to a possible implementation of the first aspect, the emission surface of the second reflecting member has an aspheric lens shape.
[0027] According to this implementation, since the emission surface of the second reflecting member has an aspheric lens shape, an optical system with less distortion can be realized.
[0028] According to a possible implementation of the first aspect, a focal length EFLP1 of the first reflecting member and a focal length EFLP2 of the second reflecting member satisfy the following condition: 1.3 < | EFLP1 / EFLP2 | < 3.1 (1)
[0029] According to this implementation, it is possible to set an optimum range of the refractive power of the first lens group and the second reflecting member having a lens shape with respect to the optical system.
[0030] According to a possible implementation of the first aspect, a length TP1 on an optical axis of the first reflecting member and a length TP2 on an optical axis of the second reflecting member satisfy the following condition: 1.0 < | TP1 / TP2 | < 1.8 (2)
[0031] According to this implementation, the size of the first lens group and the size of the second reflecting member having the lens shape can be set to an appropriate range.
[0032] According to a possible implementation of the first aspect, a focal length EFLP1 of the first reflecting member and a focal length EFLGp2 of the second lens group satisfy the following condition: 0.8 < | EFLP1 / EFLGp2 | < 3.7 (3)
[0033] According to this implementation, it is possible to set an optimal range of refractive power of the first lens group and the second lens group.
[0034] According to a possible implementation of the first aspect, a focal length EFLP2 of the second reflecting member and a focal length EFLGp2 of the second lens group satisfy the following condition: 0.2 < | EFLP2 / EFLGp2 | < 1.6 (4)
[0035] According to this implementation, it is possible to set an optimum range of the refractive power of the second reflecting member having the lens shape and the refractive power of the second lens group.
[0036] According to a possible implementation of the first aspect, a focal length EFLP1 of the first reflecting member and a focal length EFL of an entire optical system satisfy the following condition: 1.0 < | EFLP1 / EFL | < 1.7 (5)
[0037] According to this implementation, it is possible to set an optimal refractive power of the first lens group in the optical system.
[0038] According to a possible implementation of the first aspect, a focal length EFLP2 of the second reflecting member and a focal length EFL of an entire optical system satisfy the following condition: 0.5 < | EFLP2 / EFL | < 1.1 (6)
[0039] According to this implementation, it is possible to set the refractive power of the second reflecting member having an optimum lens shape in the optical system.

[0065] To make persons skilled in the art understand the technical solutions in the present disclosure better, the following clearly and completely describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings in the modes of the present disclosure. Apparently, the described embodiments are merely a part rather than all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
[0066] FIG. 1A is a diagram illustrating a configuration of an optical system at infinite photographing according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. It is a cross-sectional view of an image sensor in the short side direction, and all subsequent views are cross-sectional views in the short side direction. A optical system 100 includes the first lens group Gp1, the second lens group Gp2, and the third lens group Gp3. In FIG. 1A, lenses L11-L12, L21-L23, and L31-L33 are lens elements with refractive power.
[0067] The first lens group Gp1 is provided on the object side and includes the first prism unit PU1 as the first reflecting member. The first prism unit PU1 includes the first lens L11 having positive refractive power, a right-angle prism PR1, and the second lens L12 having negative refractive power. The lens L11 contacts an incident surface of the right-angle prism PR1, and the lens L12 contacts an emission surface of the right-angle prism PR1. The right-angle prism PR1 causes an optical axis AX1 of the incident light to be bent toward the direction of an optical axis AX2.
[0068] The second lens group Gp2 includes the first lens L21 having the positive refractive power, the second lens L22 having the negative refractive power, and the third lens L23 having the positive refractive power.
[0069] The third lens group Gp3 is provided on the imaging surface side and includes the first lens L31 having the negative refractive power and the second prism unit PU2 as the second reflecting member. The second prism unit PU2 includes the second lens L32 having the negative refractive power, a right-angle prism PR2 as the second reflecting member, and the third lens L33 having the negative refractive power. The lens L32 contacts the incident surface of the right-angle prism PR2, and the lens L33 contacts the emission surface of the right-angle prism PR2. The right-angle prism PR2 causes the optical axis AX2 of the incident light to be bent toward the direction of the optical axis AX3. A sensor unit S is disposed on the emission surface side of the lens L33. For example, the sensor unit S provided on the imaging surface side may be a CMOS type image sensor.
[0070] Generally, the image sensor is arranged perpendicular to the optical axis along the longitudinal direction of a camera module, e.g., the axis AX2 in the example of FIG. 1. In this case, the height direction of the camera module coincides with the height direction of the image sensor. Thus, the thickness of an electronic device is proportional to the height of the image sensor. In contrast, in the present embodiment, the height of the camera module is independent of the height of the sensor portion S because the sensor portion S is arranged perpendicular to the height direction of the camera module. Accordingly, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to miniaturize a camera module employing a large image sensor.
[0071] In the above configuration, the first lens group Gp1 has a positive refractive index, the second lens group Gp2 has the positive refractive index, and the third lens group Gp3 has a negative refractive index.
[0072] Also, at least one of the incident surface and the emission surface of the first prism unit PU1 and the incident surface and the emission surface of the second prism unit PU2 may have an aspheric lens shape.
[0073] In an embodiment of this application, a surface of the lens L33 on the imaging surface side has an aspheric lens shape, which may have an inflection point.
[0074] FIG. 1B is a diagram illustrating the configuration of the optical system at macro photography according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The second lens group Gp2 having the positive refractive power may be movably configured in the direction of the optical axis AX2 for focusing. As shown in FIG. 1B, the second lens group Gp2 is projected to the object side when focusing from an infinite distance to a short distance. According to the present embodiment, a moving distance of the second lens group Gp2 can be increased while maintaining miniaturization of the camera module in the height direction. Therefore, it is possible to simultaneously realize the miniaturization of the camera module and an autofocus function that realizes the macro function.
[0075] Next, conditions for focal lengths of the lens groups in the optical system according to the present embodiment will be described.
[0076] Preferably, a focal length EFLP1 of the first prism unit PU1 and a focal length EFLP2 of the second prism unit PU2 satisfy the following condition: 1.3 < | EFLP1 / EFLP2 | < 3.1 (1)
[0077] Preferably, when the length on the optical axis of the first prism unit PU1 is TP1 and the length on the optical axis of the second prism unit PU2 is TP2 as shown in FIG. 1B, the following conditions are satisfied. 1.0 < | TP1 / TP2 | < 1.8 (2)
[0078] Preferably, the focal length EFLP1 of the first prism unit PU1 and the focal length EFLGp2 of the second lens group Gp2 satisfy the following condition: 0.8 < | EFLP1 / EFLGp2 | < 3.7 (3)
[0079] Preferably, the focal length EFLP2 of the second prism unit PU2 and the focal length EFLGp2 of the second lens group Gp2 satisfy the following condition: 0.2 < | EFLP2 / EFLGp2 | < 1.6 (4)
[0080] Preferably, the focal length EFLP1 of the first prism unit PU1 and the focal length EFL of the entire optical system 100 satisfy the following condition: 1.0 < | EFLP1 / EFL | < 1.7 (5)
[0081] Preferably, the focal length EFLP2 of the second prism unit PU2 and the focal length EFL of the entire optical system 100 satisfy the following condition: 0.5 < | EFLP2 / EFL | < 1.1 (6)
[0082] Preferably, a focal length EFLP1 of the first reflecting member and a focal length EFLGp3 of the third lens group Gp3 satisfy the following condition: 2.8 < | EFLP1 / EFLGp3 | < 5.6 (7)
[0083] (Example 1)
[0084] FIG. 2A is a diagram illustrating a configuration of an optical system at infinite photographing according to the first example of the present disclosure. The optical system has, from the object side, the first lens group Gp1 having the positive refractive power, the second lens group Gp2 having the positive refractive power, and the third lens group Gp3 having the negative refractive power.
[0085] FIG. 2B is a diagram illustrating the configuration of the optical system at macro photography according to the present embodiment. The second lens group Gp2 having the positive refractive power may be movably configured in the direction of the optical axis AX2 for focusing. As shown in FIG. 2B, the second lens group Gp2 is moving to the object side as it focuses from an infinite distance to a close distance.
[0086] TABLE 1-1 shows lens data according to this example, specifically, radius of curvature R and lens thickness or separation D for each optical surface, and the refractive index nd and Abbe number vd at a wavelength of 587.56 nm (d-line) .
[0087] TABLE 1-1
[0088] TABLEs 1-2 to 1-4 show aspheric coefficients for each optical surface of aspheric lenses of the optical system according to this example. An aspheric profile is represented by the following equation:
[0089] TABLE 1-2
[0090] TABLE 1-3
[0091] TABLE 1-4
[0092] FIG. 2C illustrates simulation results of spherical aberration, field curvature, and distortion aberration for F-line (486nm) , d-line (587nm) , and C-line (wavelength 656nm) in the optical system according to this example. In FIG. 2C, Sag denotes an imaging position in a sagittal beam and Tan denotes an imaging position in a tangential beam.
[0093] In this example, the focal length EFLP1 of the first prism unit PU1 and the focal length EFLGp2 of the second lens group Gp2 satisfy the following condition: 0.8 < | EFLP1 / EFLGp2 | < 3.7 (3)
[0094] With this condition, it is possible to set the optimal range of the refractive power of the first lens group Gp1 and the second lens group Gp2. If this condition is not met, the refractive power of the second lens group Gp2 becomes excessively strong, resulting in large aberrations. Alternatively, the refractive power of the second lens group Gp2 becomes weaker than necessary, and sufficient focusing function cannot be maintained.
[0095] Also in this example, the focal length EFLP2 of the second prism unit PU2 and the focal length EFLGp2 of the second lens group Gp2 satisfy the following condition: 0.2 < | EFLP2 / EFLGp2 | < 1.6 (4)
[0096] With this condition, it is possible to set the optimal range of the refractive power of the second prism unit PU2 having the lens shape and the refractive power of the second lens group Gp2. If this condition is not met, the refractive power of the second prism unit PU2 may be excessively large or excessively small. This causes a problem that the shape of the lens part disposed on the second prism unit PU2 becomes thicker and cannot be miniaturized, or the shape of the lens part becomes too thin, making it difficult to manufacture.
[0097] From FIG. 2C, it can be seen that in the optical system according to this example, each aberration is well corrected.
[0098] (Example 2)
[0099] FIG. 3A is a diagram illustrating a configuration of an optical system at infinite photographing according to the second example of the present disclosure. FIG. 3B is a diagram illustrating the configuration of the optical system at macro photography according to this example. The optical system has, from the object side, the first lens group Gp1 having the positive refractive power, the second lens group Gp2 having the positive refractive power, and the third lens group Gp3 having the negative refractive power.
[0100] TABLE 2-1 shows lens data of the optical system according to this example. In this example, the radius of curvature R of the lens group is different from that in the first example as shown below.
[0101] TABLE 2-1
[0102] TABLEs 2-2 to 2-4 show the aspheric coefficients for each optical surface of the aspheric lenses of the optical system according to this example.
[0103] TABLE 2-2
[0104] TABLE 2-3
[0105] TABLE 2-4
[0106] FIG. 3C illustrates the spherical aberration, field curvature, and distortion for each wavelength in the optical system according to this example.
[0107] In this example, the focal length EFLP1 of the first prism unit PU1 and the focal length EFLP2 of the second prism unit PU2 satisfy the following condition: 1.3 < | EFLP1 / EFLP2 | < 3.1 (1)
[0108] With this condition, it is possible to set the optimum range of the refractive power of the first lens group Gp1 and the second prism unit PU2 having the lens shape for the optical system. If this condition is not met, the optical system will become unnecessarily large, which will be disadvantageous for reducing the size of the optical system.
[0109] Also in this example, the focal length EFLP2 of the second prism unit PU2 and the focal length EFL of the entire optical system satisfy the following condition: 0.5 < | EFLP2 / EFL | < 1.1 (6)
[0110] With this condition, it is possible to set the refractive power of the second prism unit PU2 having the optimal lens shape in the optical system. If this condition is not met, the flange back distance required for production cannot be secured.
[0111] Furthermore, in this example, the focal length ELP1 of the first prism unit PU1 and the focal length EFLGp3 of the third lens group Gp3 satisfy the following condition: 2.8 < | EFLP1 / EFLGp3 | < 5.6 (7)
[0112] With this condition, the refractive powers of the first lens group Gp1 and the third lens group Gp3 can be set optimally. If this condition is not met, the arrangement of the refractive power of the three lens groups is skewed toward the first lens group Gp1 side or the third lens group Gp3 side. As a result, it will be difficult to miniaturize the optical system, increase the magnification of macro photography, and optimize the balance of aberration correction.
[0113] From FIG. 3C, it can be seen that in the optical system according to this example, each aberration is well corrected.
[0114] (Example 3)
[0115] FIG. 4A is a diagram illustrating a configuration of an optical system at infinite photographing according to the third example of the present disclosure. FIG. 4B is a diagram illustrating the configuration of the optical system at macro photography according to this example. The optical system has, from the object side, the first lens group Gp1 having the positive refractive power, the second lens group Gp2 having the positive refractive power, and the third lens group Gp3 having the negative refractive power.
[0116] TABLE 3-1 shows lens data of the optical system according to this example. In this example, the radius of curvature R and the lens thickness or separation D are different compared to the first example as shown below.
[0117] TABLE 3-1
[0118] TABLEs 3-2 to 3-4 show the aspheric coefficients for each optical surface of the aspheric lenses in the optical system according to this example.
[0119] TABLE 3-2
[0120] TABLE 3-3
[0121] TABLE 3-4
[0122] FIG. 4C illustrates the spherical aberration, field curvature, and distortion for each wavelength in the optical system according to this example.
[0123] In this example, the length TP1 on the optical axis of the first prism unit PU1 and the length TP2 on the optical axis of the second prism unit PU2 satisfy the following condition: 1.0 < | TP1 / TP2 | < 1.8 (2)
[0124] Under this condition, the size of the first lens group Gp1 and the size of the second prism unit PU2 with the lens shape can be set to an appropriate range. If this condition is not met, the balance between the lens aperture and the size of the imaging surface will be unbalanced, and it will be difficult to maintain the lens light intensity and achieve aberration correction at the same time.
[0125] From FIG. 4C, it can be seen that in the optical system according to this example, each aberration is well corrected.
[0126] (Example 4)
[0127] FIG. 5A is a diagram illustrating a configuration of an optical system at infinite photographing according to the fourth example of the present disclosure. FIG. 5B is a diagram illustrating the configuration of the optical system at macro photography according to this example. The optical system has, from the object side, the first lens group Gp1 having the positive refractive power, the second lens group Gp2 having the positive refractive power, and the third lens group Gp3 having the negative refractive power.
[0128] TABLE 4-1 shows lens data of the optical system according to this example. In this example, the radius of curvature R, the lens thickness or separation D, and the refractive index nd and Abbe number vd of the d-line are different compared to the first example as shown below.
[0129] TABLE 4-1
[0130] TABLEs 4-2 to 4-4 show the aspheric coefficients for each optical surface of the aspheric lenses in the optical system according to this example.
[0131] TABLE 4-2
[0132] TABLE 4-3
[0133] TABLE 4-4
[0134] FIG. 5C illustrates the spherical aberration, field curvature, and distortion for each wavelength in the optical system according to this example.
[0135] In this example, the focal length EFLP1 of the first prism unit PU1 and the focal length EFL of the entire optical system satisfy the following condition: 1.0 < | EFLP1 / EFL | < 1.7 (5)
[0136] With this condition, it is possible to set the optimum refractive power of the first lens group Gp1 in the optical system. If this condition is not met, aberrations will occur strongly in the first lens group Gp1 including the first prism unit PU1, making it difficult to maintain good optical performance.
[0137] Also in this example, the focal length EFLP1 of the first prism unit PU1 and the focal length EFLGp3 of the third lens group Gp3 satisfy the following condition: 2.8 < | EFLP1 / EFLGp3 | < 5.6 (7)
[0138] From FIG. 5C, it can be seen that in the optical system according to this example, each aberration is well corrected.
[0139] (Example 5)
[0140] FIG. 6A is a diagram illustrating a configuration of an optical system at infinite photographing according to the fifth example of the present disclosure. FIG. 6B is a diagram illustrating the configuration of the optical system at macro photography according to this example. The optical system has, from the object side, the first lens group Gp1 having the positive refractive power, the second lens group Gp2 having the positive refractive power, and the third lens group Gp3 having the negative refractive power. In this example, the radius of curvature R and the lens thickness or separation D are different compared to the first example as shown below. The right-angle prism PR2 is also arranged such that light traveling in the direction of the optical axis AX2 is bent by 90 ° towards the top of the drawing and travels along the optical axis AX3 in the opposite direction to the incident light. The sensor unit S is disposed on the upper side of the third lens group Gp3. With such optical system configuration, the height of the electronic device does not depend on the height of the sensor unit S, as with the optical system shown in FIG. 1. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to reduce the size of the electronic device.
