Description

Optical system and electronic device including the same

[0001] Various embodiments of the present disclosure relate to optical systems related to the imaging of light, for example, to a lens assembly constituting an optical system and an electronic device including the same.

[0002] Optical devices, such as cameras capable of taking photos or videos, have been widely used. While film-based optical devices were dominant in the past, digital cameras and video cameras equipped with solid-state image sensors, such as CCDs (charge coupled devices) or CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductors), have recently become commonplace. Lens assemblies employing solid-state image sensors (CCDs or CMOS) are replacing film-based lens assemblies because they facilitate the storage, replication, and / or transfer of images between electronic devices compared to film-based lens assemblies.

[0003] Recently, for example, two or more selected optical devices, such as macro cameras, telephoto cameras, and / or wide-angle cameras, have been mounted on a single electronic device to improve the quality of captured images and to impart various visual effects to the images. For instance, high-quality images can be obtained by acquiring images of a subject through multiple cameras with different optical characteristics and synthesizing them. As it has become possible to acquire high-quality images by mounting multiple lens cameras on a single device, electronic devices such as mobile communication terminals or smartphones can replace electronic devices specialized in shooting functions, such as digital cameras.

[0004] However, in miniaturized and / or lightweight electronic devices, it may be difficult to improve the performance of a camera or a lens assembly placed therein. For example, the internal space of a miniaturized and / or lightweight electronic device may be narrow, making it difficult for the camera to perform telephoto functions within the limited space.

[0005] The information described above may be provided as background art for the purpose of aiding understanding of the disclosure of this disclosure. No claim or determination is made as to whether any of the foregoing may be applied as prior art in relation to the disclosure of this disclosure.

[0006] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, an electronic device comprising an optical system may be provided. The optical system may include an image sensor (IS); and a lens assembly comprising at least four lenses arranged sequentially along an optical axis (OI) direction from the object side (obj) toward the image side of the image sensor. The lens assembly may include a first lens positioned at the first object side and having positive refractive power, and a second lens positioned at the second object side and having negative refractive power. The lens assembly may have an inflection shape in which the upper surface of a third lens positioned at the third object side has a curvature near the optical axis and a peripheral curvature sign different, and the electronic device comprising the following optical system may satisfy [Equation 1], [Equation 2], and [Equation 3].

[0007] [Equation 1]

[0008] 70 < Vd1 < 100

[0009] [Equation 2]

[0010] 1.5 < Nd2 < 1.75

[0011] [Equation 3]

[0012] FOV < 60

[0013] (Here, Vd1 is the Abbe number of the first lens from the subject side, Nd2 is the refractive index of the second lens from the subject side, and FOV is the angle of view of the entire optical system.)

[0014] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, an electronic device comprising an optical system may be provided. The optical system may include an image sensor (IS); and a lens assembly comprising at least four lenses arranged sequentially along an optical axis (OI) direction from the object side (obj) toward the image side of the image sensor. The lens assembly may include a first lens (L1) positioned at the first object side and having a positive refractive power, and a second lens (L2) positioned at the second object side and having a negative refractive power. In the lens assembly, the first lens (L1) may be made of a glass material, and the remaining lenses excluding the first lens (L1) in the lens assembly may be made of a resin material. An electronic device comprising the following optical system may satisfy [Equation 1], [Equation 2], and [Equation 3].

[0015] [Equation 1]

[0016] 70 < Vd1 < 100

[0017] [Equation 2]

[0018] 1.5 < Nd2 < 1.75

[0019] [Equation 3]

[0020] FOV < 60

[0021] (Here, Vd1 is the Abbe number of the first lens from the subject side, Nd2 is the refractive index of the second lens from the subject side, and FOV is the angle of view of the entire optical system.)

[0040] FIG. 18 is a block diagram illustrating a camera module according to various embodiments.

[0041] Throughout the attached drawings, similar parts, configurations, and / or structures may be assigned similar reference numbers.

[0042] For example, in the case of a camera with telephoto performance of several magnifications (e.g., 3x), it may be difficult to accommodate the miniaturization of electronic devices because the overall length of the optical system included in the camera is relatively long compared to other cameras (e.g., wide-angle cameras). Generally, such a telephoto camera can be composed of five lenses made of plastic resin material.

[0043] According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, in an optical system composed of four or five lenses, the first lens from the subject side is made of a low-dispersion material (e.g., glass material) with an Abbe number of 70 or higher to provide an optical system having telephoto performance with an angle of view of approximately 30 to 60 degrees. By using a low-dispersion material (e.g., glass material) for the first lens from the subject side, it is advantageous for controlling aberrations (e.g., chromatic aberration), and the overall length of the optical system can be effectively reduced, thereby enabling the miniaturization of electronic devices.

[0044] Various embodiments of the present disclosure are intended to at least resolve the problems and / or disadvantages described above and at least provide the advantages described below, thereby enabling close-up photography with a telephoto camera while providing a miniaturized lens assembly and / or an electronic device including the same.

[0045] Additional aspects according to one embodiment will be presented through the detailed description below, which may become partially apparent from the description or understood through the embodiments of the presented implementation.

[0046] The following description regarding the attached drawings may be provided to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of various implementations of the disclosure defined by the claims and their corresponding contents. The specific embodiments disclosed in the following description include various specific details to aid understanding, but are to be considered as one of various embodiments. Accordingly, it is evident to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications to the various implementations described in this disclosure may be made without departing from the scope and technical spirit of the disclosure. Furthermore, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of well-known functions and configurations may be omitted.

[0047] The terms and words used in the following description and claims are not limited to their literal meanings but may be used to clearly and consistently describe various embodiments of the present disclosure. Accordingly, it will be obvious to a person skilled in the art that the following description of various embodiments of the disclosure is provided for illustrative purposes only and not for the purpose of limiting the scope of the rights or the disclosure defined as equivalent thereto.

[0048] Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, it should be understood that the singular forms of "a," "an," and "the" include a plural meaning. Thus, for example, "component surface" may mean one or more of the component surfaces.

[0049] According to various embodiments, an optical device (e.g., a camera) may be included as a representative example of the electronic device, and the following description may be based on the premise that a lens assembly is mounted on the optical device as one embodiment. Furthermore, the optical device may be interpreted as including an optical system in which light incident on the lens assembly is formed on an image sensor.

[0050] In describing the various embodiments of the present disclosure, some numerical values ​​may be presented, but it should be noted that such numerical values ​​do not limit the various embodiments of the present disclosure unless otherwise stated in the claims.

[0051] Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 16, various embodiment(s) of the components of an optical system and an electronic device including the same will be examined.

[0052] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an optical system according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0053] Referring to FIG. 1, an optical system (100) according to one of the various embodiments of the present disclosure may include a lens assembly comprising a plurality of lenses (e.g., L1, L2, L3, L4, L5) and an image sensor (IS). The optical system (100), by including the plurality of lenses (e.g., L1, L2, L3, L4, L5) and the image sensor (IS), may cover a telephoto range with an angle of view of approximately 30 to 60 degrees. In the various embodiments below, an optical system having an angle of view of 32.5 to 36.5 degrees may be described exemplarily.

[0054] According to various embodiments, an image sensor (IS) may be mounted on an electronic device. Here, the electronic device may be an optical device and may include a camera module (e.g., the camera module (1780) of FIG. 17 described below, and the camera module (1880) of FIG. 18). A lens assembly comprising a plurality of lenses (e.g., L1, L2, L3, L4, L5) may be mounted on the electronic device to form a camera module together with the image sensor (IS). For example, in describing various embodiments of the present disclosure, an example in which the image sensor (IS) is provided in an optical system (100) together with a lens assembly will be described, but the image sensor (IS) may be mounted and used on the optical device and / or the electronic device separately from the lens assembly.

[0055] According to various embodiments, the image sensor (IS) is a sensor mounted on a circuit board (not shown), etc., and positioned in a state aligned with the optical axis (OI), and is capable of responding to light. The image sensor (IS) may include, for example, a sensor such as a CMOS image sensor (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) or a charge coupled device (CCD). The image sensor (IS) is not limited thereto and may include, for example, various devices that convert an image of a subject into an electrical image signal. The image sensor (IS) can acquire an image of a subject (obj) (virtual subject) by detecting brightness information, grayscale ratio information, color information, etc., of the subject (obj) from light passing through a plurality of lenses (e.g., L1, L2, L3, L4, L5).

[0056] According to various embodiments, at least some of the plurality of lenses (e.g., L1, L2, L3, L4, L5) included in the optical system (100) may be made of a resin (e.g., plastic) material. According to various embodiments, the optical system (100) may be implemented, for example, by lenses composed of synthetic resin (e.g., plastic) each having a predetermined refractive index. Since the plurality of lenses are made of synthetic resin material, there may be a high degree of design freedom regarding their size or shape. For example, regarding the refractive index at a specific wavelength of visible light (e.g., 587.6000 nm, d-line), the second lens (L2) may be formed as a synthetic resin lens with a refractive index of 1.66 or higher, the third lens (L3) may be formed as a synthetic resin lens with a refractive index of 1.55 or lower, and the fourth lens (L4) may be composed of a synthetic resin lens having a refractive index of 1.55 or lower. Through such a design of refractive index, it may be possible to miniaturize the lens assembly and / or the electronic device including it. According to one embodiment, a lens composed of a synthetic resin (e.g., plastic) may have a tendency for its Abbe number to increase or decrease as its refractive index decreases or increases. Meanwhile, in the present disclosure, among a plurality of lenses (e.g., L1, L2, L3, L4, L5), the first lens (e.g., the first lens (L1)) from the subject may be made of glass material. For example, the remaining lenses (L2, L3, L4, L5), excluding the first lens (L1), may be made of a synthetic resin (e.g., plastic). The Abbe number of the first lens will be described in detail below.

[0057] According to various embodiments, the image sensor (IS) may have an image height of approximately 2.38 mm to 2.40 mm. For reference, the image height may mean half the diagonal length of the image sensor in a thin image sensor formed in an approximately rectangular shape (e.g., square or rectangle) with the optical axis (OI) as the normal.

[0058] According to various embodiments, the optical system (100) may have an optical axis (OI) extending from the object side (O, object side) to the image side (I, image side). In describing the configuration of each lens below, for example, the object side may indicate the direction in which the object (obj) is located, and the image side may indicate the direction in which the image plane (img) where the image is formed is located. Additionally, the "face facing the object side" of the lens refers to the left surface (or front) of the lens in the drawings (e.g., FIG. 1) according to various embodiments of the present disclosure as the face in which the object (obj) is located relative to the optical axis (OI), for example, and the "face facing the image side" refers to the right surface (or rear) of the lens in the drawings (e.g., FIG. 1) as the face in which the image plane (img) is located relative to the optical axis (OI). Here, the imaging plane (img) may be, for example, a part where an image element or an image sensor (IS) is placed and an image is formed.

[0059] Based on at least one lens among the plurality of lenses included in the optical system (100), looking toward the subject side (O) along the optical axis (OI) can be defined as ‘facing the first direction (or forward)’, and looking toward the image side (I) along the optical axis (OI) can be defined as ‘facing the second direction (or backward)’. According to various embodiments, when a lens (e.g., the first lens (L1)) includes a surface facing toward the subject side (O), the surface facing toward the subject side (O) can be said to face the first direction. And when a lens (e.g., the first lens (L1)) includes a surface facing toward the image side (I), the surface facing toward the image side (I) can be said to face the second direction.

[0060] Referring to FIG. 1, an optical system (100) according to various embodiments may include, for example, a plurality of lenses (e.g., L1, L2, L3, L4, L5) arranged sequentially in the direction of the optical axis (OI) (e.g., the direction toward the image (I) from the subject (O) in FIG. 1), a first lens (L1), a second lens (L2), a third lens (L3), a fourth lens (L4), and a fifth lens (L5). The plurality of lenses (e.g., L1, L2, L3, L4, L5) may be arranged in a state aligned with the optical axis with an image sensor (IS). The statement that the plurality of lenses (e.g., L1, L2, L3, L4, L5) are aligned with the optical axis with the image sensor (IS) may mean that the center of the plurality of lenses (e.g., L1, L2, L3, L4, L5) and the center of the image sensor (IS) are aligned on the optical axis. However, the embodiments of the present disclosure are not necessarily limited to having five lenses. For example, in the embodiments of FIGS. 9 to 12, an optical system (300) having four lenses may be illustrated.

[0061] In describing a plurality of lenses (e.g., L1, L2, L3, L4, L5) according to various embodiments, the side of each lens closer to the optical axis (OI) may be referred to as the 'chief portion' below, and the side farther from the optical axis (OI) (or near the edge of the lens) may be referred to as the 'marginal portion' below. The chief portion may, for example, be a part of the first lens (L1) that intersects the optical axis (OI). The marginal portion may, for example, be a part of the first lens (L1) that is spaced a predetermined distance from the optical axis. The marginal portion may, for example, include the end portion of the lens that is furthest from the optical axis (OI). However, it should be noted that this is merely an example, and the marginal portion is not necessarily limited to the end portion of the lens, and the marginal portion may correspond to a point located at a relatively far distance compared to the chief portion.

[0062] According to various embodiments, in order to configure an optical device, the first lens (L1) included in the optical system (100) may have a positive refractive power, and the second lens (L2) may have a negative refractive power. And the third lens (L3) may have a negative refractive power. Meanwhile, the fourth lens (L4) and the fifth lens (L5) may each be selected to have either a positive or a negative refractive power. For example, the first lens (L1), the second lens (L2), the third lens (L3), the fourth lens (L4), and the fifth lens (L5) may have a refractive power of 'positive, negative, negative, positive, negative', or a refractive power of 'positive, negative, negative, negative, positive', or a refractive power of 'positive, negative, negative, negative, negative', or a refractive power of 'positive, negative, negative, positive, positive'. In the embodiments described above, when light parallel to the optical axis (OI) is incident on a lens having positive refractive power, the light passing through the lens can be concentrated. For example, the lens having positive refractive power may be a lens based on the principle of a convex lens. On the other hand, when light parallel to a lens having negative refractive power is incident, the light passing through the lens may be dispersed. For example, the lens having negative refractive power may be a lens based on the principle of a concave lens. In the present disclosure, the first lens (L1) is configured with positive power, which is advantageous for miniaturization even in telephoto optical systems with an angle of view of 60 degrees or less, and the second and third lenses are arranged with negative power, thereby minimizing chromatic aberration that increases during miniaturization.

[0063] According to various embodiments, the first lens (L1) may be configured as a lens having a relatively larger effective diameter compared to the second lens (L2). Here, "effective diameter" refers to the range of the boundary where light is received by the lens in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis (OI), and, for example, may mean the distance between the end portion where light is received and the other portion on the surface of the lens facing the subject. In other words, the effective diameters of each lens included in the lens assembly in the optical system of the present disclosure may have a shape that decreases as they move toward the image side and then increases again. For example, the effective diameter of the first lens (L1) may be larger than the effective diameter of the second lens (L2), and the effective diameter of the second lens (L2) may be larger than the effective diameter of the third lens (L3). Additionally, the effective diameter of the fourth lens (L4) may be larger than the effective diameter of the third lens (L3), and the effective diameter of the fifth lens (L5) may be larger than the effective diameter of the fourth lens (L4).

[0064] According to various embodiments, the surfaces (S1, S2, S3, S4, S6, S7, S8, S9, S10, S11) of the first lens (L1), the second lens (L2), the third lens (L3), the fourth lens (L4), and the fifth lens (L5) may be formed as aspheric. Spherical aberration that may occur in the first lens (L1), the second lens (L2), the third lens (L3), the fourth lens (L4), and the fifth lens (L5) can be reduced and / or prevented by making the surfaces (S1, S2, S3, S4, S6, S7, S8, S9, S10, S11) of the first lens (L1), the second lens (L2), the third lens (L3), the fourth lens (L4), and the fifth lens (L5) as aspherical.

[0065] According to various embodiments, the radius of curvature, thickness, OAL (overall length), focal length, etc. of the lens of the present disclosure may all have units of mm unless specifically noted. Additionally, the thickness of the lens, the spacing between lenses, and the OAL (or TTL (total track length)) may be distances measured around the optical axis of the lens.

[0066] In a description of the shape of a lens, the statement that one surface is convex implies that the optical axis portion of that surface is convex, unless otherwise specified, such as having an inflection point. Similarly, the statement that one surface is concave implies that the optical axis portion of that surface is concave, unless otherwise specified, such as having an inflection point. For example, even if one surface of a lens (the optical axis portion of that surface) is described as having a convex shape, the edge portion of the lens (the portion spaced a certain distance from the optical axis portion of that surface) may be concave. Likewise, even if one surface of a lens (the optical axis portion of that surface) is described as having a concave shape, the edge portion of the lens (the portion spaced a certain distance from the optical axis portion of that surface) may be convex.

[0067] In the following detailed description and claims, the term "inflection point" may refer to a point where the sign of the radius of curvature changes in a portion that does not intersect the optical axis. For example, when there is an inflection point between the center and the periphery of one surface of a lens, the curvature of one surface of the lens may change from a (-) radius of curvature to a (+) radius of curvature, or from a (+) radius of curvature to a (-) radius of curvature, as it moves from the center to the periphery. Furthermore, the inflection point may be located at a point where one surface of the lens changes from a convex shape to a concave shape, or from a concave shape to a convex shape. According to one embodiment, the inflection point may be designed to have an inflection shape in which the sign of the curvature near the optical axis and the sign of the periphery of the curvature are different. According to the present disclosure, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the optical system (100) may include at least one inflection point on the upper side surface (S7) of the third lens (L3). Here, at the inflection point on the upper side (S7) of the third lens (L3), the third lens (L3) may be designed to have an inflection shape in which the central curvature relatively close to the optical axis and the peripheral curvature sign relatively farther from the optical axis are different. According to one embodiment, the inflection points may be formed at symmetrical positions on both the upper and lower sides with respect to the optical axis (OI).

[0068] The first lens (L1) may have a surface (S1) facing the subject side (O) that is convex toward the subject side. The surface (S2) of the first lens (L1) facing the image side (I) may be convex or concave toward the image side. In the present disclosure, the first lens (L1) has positive power and the subject side surface (S1) has a convex shape, which may be advantageous for reducing the size of the optical system (100). Although the lens aperture may increase when Fno is reduced, the increase in the aperture of the entire optical system (100) can be minimized because the first lens (L1) has positive power and the subject side surface (S1) has a convex shape.

[0069] The second lens (L2) may have a surface (S3) facing the subject side (O) that is convex or concave toward the subject side. The surface (S4) of the second lens (L2) facing the image side (I) may be concave toward the image side. Referring to FIG. 1, the second lens (L2) may have a surface (S3) facing the subject side (O) that has an inflection shape, so that the surface (S3) facing the subject side (O) may have a shape that is concave toward the subject side in the periphery. According to one embodiment, the second lens (L2) may have a meniscus shape that is convex toward the subject side or concave toward both the subject side and the image side. By having a meniscus shape that is convex toward the subject side or concave toward both the subject side and the image side, the second lens (L2) may be advantageous for correcting spherical aberration of the optical system (100).

[0070] The optical system (100) may include at least one aperture stop (S5). Depending on the position of the aperture, the amount of light reaching the image plane (img) of the image sensor (IS) may be controlled. For example, the aperture (S5) may be positioned between the second lens (L2) and the third lens (L3).

[0071] The third lens (L3) may have a meniscus shape in which the subject side surface (S6) and the image side surface (S7) are convex toward the image side (or concave toward the subject side). Referring to FIG. 1, the third lens (L3) may have an inflection point on the surface (S7) facing the image side (O). Including an inflection point may be advantageous for correcting astigmatism and curvature aberration. The advantages of having an inflection point will be described in more detail below. Meanwhile, according to one embodiment, the optical system (100) may also include at least one inflection point on the subject side surface (S3) of the second lens (L2).

[0072] The fourth lens (L4) may have a meniscus shape in which the subject side surface (S8) and the image side surface (S9) are convex toward the image (or concave toward the subject). The fifth lens (L5) may also have a meniscus shape in which the subject side surface (S10) and the image side surface (S11) are convex toward the image (or concave toward the subject). By configuring the fourth lens (L4) and the fifth lens (L5) into a meniscus shape that is convex toward the image (or concave toward the subject), it may be advantageous for correcting astigmatism and curvature aberration.

[0073] The effective diameter of the fifth lens (L5) can be the largest compared to other lenses.

[0074] According to various embodiments, among the plurality of lenses (e.g., L1, L2, L3, L4, L5) constituting the optical system (100), the narrower the distance between one lens and an adjacent lens, the shorter the overall length (OAL) of the optical system (100) may be. Here, the overall length (OAL) may be the distance from the surface (S1) facing the subject side of the first lens (L1) to the upper surface (img) of the image sensor. For example, when making an electronic device containing the optical system (100) according to various embodiments of the present disclosure small, it is advantageous to keep the overall length of the optical system (100) as short as possible. However, there may be physical limitations to shortening the overall length of the optical system (100) while ensuring an appropriate telephoto ratio. According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the spacing of the plurality of lenses (e.g., L1, L2, L3, L4, L5) can be designed to vary according to the optical characteristics (e.g., aberration characteristics, wide angle characteristics and / or brightness characteristics) required of the optical system (100).

[0075] The optical system (100) may further include a filter (F) positioned between the fifth lens (L5) and the image sensor (IS). The filter (F) includes a subject side surface (S12) and an image side surface (S13) and can block light, such as infrared light, detected by the film or image sensor of the optical device. The filter (F) may include at least one of, for example, a low-pass filter or a cover glass. For example, when the filter (F) is installed, the color tone of the image, etc., detected and captured through the image sensor (IS) can be made to approximate the color tone perceived by a person when looking at an actual object. Additionally, the filter (F) transmits visible light and emits infrared light to the outside, thereby preventing infrared light from being transmitted to the image plane (img) of the image sensor.

[0076] The optical system (100) as described above can be designed to satisfy the following [Equation 1], [Equation 2] and [Equation 3].

[0077] [Equation 1]

[0078] 70 < Vd1 < 100

[0079] [Equation 2]

[0080] 1.5 < Nd2 < 1.75

[0081] [Equation 3]

[0082] FOV < 60

[0083] Here, 'Vd1' is the Abbe number of the first lens (L1), and 'Nd2' is the refractive index of the second lens (L2). Also, FOV may refer to the angle of view of an optical system (100) including a lens assembly. [Equation 1] is an equation that limits the Abbe number of the first lens (L1), and by using a material with an Abbe number exceeding 70, chromatic aberration that may occur during the miniaturization of an optical system (e.g., a telephoto lens) with telephoto performance can be minimized. This makes it possible to secure high-resolution images even in the miniaturized design of an electronic device. To satisfy [Equation 1], the lens may include a glass material. [Equation 2] is an equation that limits the refractive index of the second lens (L2), and if it exceeds the upper or lower limit, a glass material may be used instead of a synthetic resin (e.g., plastic) material. If the remaining lenses, excluding the first lens (L1), include glass material, the weight and / or manufacturing cost of the electronic device may increase. [Equation 3] represents the angle of view of an optical system and, in the present disclosure, can be applied to an optical system having an angle of view of 60 degrees or less, for example, an optical system having telephoto performance of approximately 2x to 3x magnification (e.g., a telephoto lens). The present disclosure can be applied to all optical systems having an angle of view of 60 degrees or less, but as an example, in the embodiments of FIGS. 1 to 16, an optical system having an angle of view of 32.5 degrees to 36.5 degrees may be provided. In addition, the optical system (100) as described above may satisfy the following [Equation 4].

[0084] [Equation 4]

[0085] 2 < OAL / IH < 3.5

[0086] Here, OAL represents the total length of the optical system, and IH represents the image height of the image sensor. If the value exceeds the upper limit of [Equation 4], the total length relative to the image height increases, which is advantageous for securing telephoto magnification, but it may be disadvantageous for miniaturizing the electronic device due to the increased thickness of the electronic device. If the value falls below the lower limit, the total length relative to the image height decreases, which is advantageous for miniaturization but may be disadvantageous for securing telephoto magnification.

[0087] In addition, the optical system (100) as described above can satisfy the following [Equation 5].

[0088] [Equation 5]

[0089] 45 < Vd1 - Vd2 < 65

[0090] Here, Vd1 is the Abbe number of the first lens (L1), and Vd2 is the Abbe number of the second lens (L2). The optical system of the present disclosure may be configured such that the difference between the Abbe number of the first lens (L1) and the Abbe number of the second lens (L2) satisfies [Equation 5] above. If it exceeds the upper limit of [Equation 5], it is advantageous for chromatic aberration correction, but glass material must be used for both the first lens (L1) and the second lens (L2), and in this case, the weight and / or manufacturing cost of the optical system may increase. If it falls below the lower limit of [Equation 5], chromatic aberration may increase.

[0091] In addition, the optical system (100) as described above can satisfy the following [Equation 6].

[0092] [Equation 6]

[0093] 30 < Vd3 - Vd4 < 40

[0094] Here, Vd3 is the Abbe number of the third lens (L3), and Vd4 is the Abbe number of the fourth lens (L4). The optical system of the present disclosure may be configured such that the difference between the Abbe number of the third lens (L3) and the Abbe number of the fourth lens (L4) satisfies [Equation 6] above. If it exceeds the upper limit of [Equation 6], it is advantageous for chromatic aberration correction, but glass material must be used for both the third lens (L3) and the fourth lens (L4), and in this case, the weight and / or manufacturing cost of the optical system may increase. If it falls below the lower limit of [Equation 6], chromatic aberration may increase.

[0095] According to one embodiment, an optical system (100) and an electronic device including the same may satisfy at least one of [Equation 4], [Equation 5], and [Equation 6] while satisfying the above-described [Equation 1], [Equation 2], and [Equation 3]. For example, a folded type optical system may include an optical member (e.g., a prism and / or mirror) for bending the path of light at least once at an angle close to or greater than 90 degrees, in order to meet the miniaturization of the electronic device by securing a long focal length to secure telephoto performance of approximately 5 times or more (e.g., 10 times, 100 times, etc.) while including a small number of lenses.

[0096] The present disclosure provides embodiments that are compatible with the miniaturization of electronic devices by including a small number of lenses while securing a long focal length to secure telephoto performance of approximately 2 to 3 times or approximately 5 times or more (e.g., 10 times, 100 times, etc.) in a vertical type optical system, as an embodiment other than the above refractive optical system in which light is bent by approximately 90 degrees.

[0097] In addition, the optical system (100) and the electronic device including it may be manufactured to have the specifications exemplified in the following [Table 1].

[0098] In [Table 1], 'stop' refers to the aperture (STO), which can be positioned between the second lens (L2) and the third lens (L3). 'radius' may refer to the radius of curvature of the lens, 'thickness' to the thickness of the lens or the air gap, 'nd' to the refractive index of the medium (e.g., lens), and 'vd' to the Abbe's number of the lens. The radius of curvature may represent, for example, a value indicating the degree of curvature at each point of a curved surface or curve. S1 and S2 may refer to the surface of the first lens (L1) facing the subject side and the surface facing the image side, respectively. S3 and S4 may refer to the surface of the second lens (L2) facing the subject side and the surface facing the image side, respectively. S6 and S7 may refer to the surface of the third lens (L3) facing the subject side and the surface facing the image side, respectively. S8 and S9 may each represent the surface of the fourth lens (L4) facing the subject side and the surface facing the image side. S10 and S11 may each represent the surface of the fifth lens (L5) facing the subject side and the surface facing the image side. S12 and S13 may each represent the surface of the filter (F) facing the subject side and the surface facing the image side.

[0099] [Table 1] may relate to an optical system having a combined effective focal length (EFL) of 7.03 mm, Fno of 2.4, ImgH (image height) of 2.28 mm, and a field of view (FOV) of 36.3 degrees.

[0101] Tables 2 and 3 below describe the aspherical coefficients of the optical system (100), and the aspherical coefficients can be calculated using the following formula 1.

[0102] [Mathematical Formula 1]

[0103]

[0104] Here, 'x' is the distance in the direction of the optical axis (OI) from the vertex of the lenses (e.g., L1, L2, L3, L4, L5 in the embodiments of FIG. 1, 5, and 13; L1, L2, L3, L4 in the embodiment of FIG. 9), 'y' is the distance in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis (OI), 'R' is the radius of curvature from the vertex of the lenses (e.g., L1, L2, L3, L4, L5 in the embodiments of FIG. 1, 5, and 13; L1, L2, L3, L4 in the embodiment of FIG. 9), 'K' is the conic constant, and 'A i ' may mean an aspherical coefficient.

[0108] FIG. 2 is a graph showing spherical aberration of an optical system according to an embodiment of FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is a graph showing astigmatism of an optical system according to an embodiment of FIG. 1. FIG. 4 is a graph showing distortion of an optical system according to an embodiment of FIG. 1.

[0109] FIG. 2 is a graph showing spherical aberration of an optical system (100) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure (e.g., the embodiment of FIG. 1). Spherical aberration may be a phenomenon in which the focal point of light passing through different parts of a lens (e.g., the chief portion and the marginal portion) changes. In FIG. 2, the horizontal axis represents the degree of longitudinal spherical aberration, and the vertical axis represents the distance from the center of the optical axis normalized, so that the change in longitudinal spherical aberration according to the wavelength of light may be illustrated. Longitudinal spherical aberration can be exhibited for light with wavelengths of, for example, approximately 656.3000 nm (nanometer), approximately 587.6000 nm, approximately 546.1000 nm, approximately 486.1000 nm, or approximately 435.8000 nm, respectively. Looking at FIG. 2, it can be seen that the longitudinal spherical aberration of the optical system (100) according to various embodiments of the present disclosure in the visible light band is limited to within approximately +0.050 to -0.050, showing stable optical characteristics. In particular, it can be seen that in the peripheral region of 0.5 field or more, it is limited to within +0.025 to -0.025, showing even more stable characteristics.

[0110] FIG. 3 is a graph showing astigmatism of an optical system (100) according to one embodiment (e.g., the embodiment of FIG. 1). Astigmatism may be a phenomenon where the focal points of light passing through the vertical and horizontal directions are misaligned when the tangential plane (or meridian plane) and the sagittal plane of the lens have different radii.

[0111] Here, the astigmatism of the optical system (100) is a result obtained at a wavelength of approximately 587.6000 nm, where the dashed line (T) represents astigmatism in the direction of the tangential plane (e.g., tangential plane curvature) and the solid line (S) represents astigmatism in the direction of the sagittal plane (e.g., sagittal plane curvature). As can be seen from the graph, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure, astigmatism is limited to within approximately +0.050 to -0.050, and stable optical characteristics can be observed.

[0112] FIG. 4 is a graph showing distortion of an optical system (100) according to one embodiment (e.g., the embodiment of FIG. 1). Distortion aberration occurs because the optical magnification changes depending on the distance from the optical axis, and the image formed on the actual image plane (img) may appear larger or smaller than the image formed on the theoretical image plane (img).

[0113] The distortion of the optical system (100) is the result obtained at a wavelength of approximately 587.6000 nm, and the image captured through the lens assembly may have distortion at a point (e.g., the periphery) off from the optical axis. However, such distortion is of a degree that can generally occur in an optical device using a lens, and the optical system (100) according to one embodiment (e.g., the embodiment of FIG. 1) can provide good optical characteristics with a distortion rate of approximately 2.5% (e.g., between -2.5% and 0%).

[0114] FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing an optical system according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 6 is a graph showing spherical aberration of an optical system according to the embodiment of FIG. 5. FIG. 7 is a graph showing astigmatism of an optical system according to the embodiment of FIG. 5. FIG. 8 is a graph showing distortion of an optical system according to the embodiment of FIG. 5.

[0115] The description of the optical system (100) according to the embodiments described above may be applied to optical systems (200, 300, 400) according to various other embodiments described below. Some of the optical systems (100, 200, 300, 400) may have the same lens properties (e.g., angle of view, focal length, autofocus, F-number (F no), or optical zoom), or at least one lens assembly may have one or more lens properties different from the lens properties of other lens assemblies.

[0116] The optical systems (100, 200, 300, 400) may include a flash (flash (1820) of FIG. 18 described later), an image sensor (IS), an image stabilizer (image stabilizer (1840) of FIG. 18 described later), a memory (memory (1850) of FIG. 18 described later), or an image signal processor (image signal processor (1860) of FIG. 18 described later).

[0117] In describing the various embodiments of the present disclosure below, reference numbers in the drawings may be assigned similarly or omitted for components that can be easily understood through the aforementioned embodiments. Additionally, detailed descriptions thereof may be omitted to the extent that they may be redundant.

[0118] Referring to FIG. 5, the optical system (200) may have an inflection point, that is, an inflection point, on the upper side (S7) of the third lens (L3) positioned third from the subject side, where the central curvature near the optical axis (OI) and the peripheral curvature far from the optical axis have different signs. According to one embodiment, the optical system (200) may also have an inflection point formed on the subject side (S3) of the second lens (L2) positioned second from the subject side.

[0119] Referring together to FIGS. 5 to 8, an optical system (200) according to one other than the embodiment of FIG. 1 among various embodiments of the present disclosure may include a plurality of lenses (e.g., L1, L2, L3, L4, L5), an image sensor (IS), and / or a filter (F).

[0120] Table 4 below may show various lens data of the optical system (200) according to the embodiment of FIG. 5. Tables 5 and 6 below may each list the aspherical coefficients of the plurality of lenses (L1, L2, L3, L4, L5). Here, the lens assembly (200) may satisfy the above-described conditions (and / or at least one of the above-described conditions) when the composite effective focal length (EFL) is 8.0 mm, the F-number (Fno) is approximately 2.8, the angle of view (ANG) is approximately 32.62 degrees, and the image height (ImgH) of the image sensor (IS) is 2.28.

In this case, the camera module (1880) may form, for example, a dual camera, a 360-degree camera, or a spherical camera. Some of the plurality of lens assemblies (1810) may have the same lens properties (e.g., angle of view, focal length, autofocus, F-number (Fno), or optical zoom), or at least one lens assembly may have one or more lens properties different from the lens properties of other lens assemblies. The lens assembly (1810) may include, for example, a wide-angle lens or a telephoto lens.

[0172] A flash (1820) may emit light used to enhance light emitted or reflected from a subject. According to one embodiment, the flash (1820) may include one or more light-emitting diodes (e.g., RGB (red-green-blue) LED, white LED, infrared LED, or ultraviolet LED), or a xenon lamp. An image sensor (1830) may acquire an image corresponding to the subject by converting light emitted or reflected from the subject and transmitted through a lens assembly (1810) into an electrical signal. According to one embodiment, the image sensor (1830) may include, for example, one image sensor selected from image sensors with different properties such as an RGB sensor, a BW (black and white) sensor, an IR sensor, or a UV sensor, a plurality of image sensors having the same properties, or a plurality of image sensors having different properties. Each image sensor included in the image sensor (1830) can be implemented using, for example, a CCD (charged coupled device) sensor or a CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) sensor.

[0173] The image stabilizer (1840) may move at least one lens or image sensor (1830) included in the lens assembly (1810) in a specific direction in response to the movement of the camera module (1880) or the electronic device (1701) containing it, or control the operational characteristics of the image sensor (1830) (e.g., adjusting read-out timing). This allows for compensating for at least some of the negative effects caused by the movement on the image being captured. According to one embodiment, the image stabilizer (1840) may detect such movement of the camera module (1880) or the electronic device (1701) using a gyroscope sensor (not shown) or an accelerometer sensor (not shown) placed inside or outside the camera module (1880).

The memory (1850) may temporarily store at least a portion of the image acquired through the image sensor (1830) for the next image processing operation. For example, when image acquisition by the shutter is delayed or multiple images are acquired at high speed, the acquired original image (e.g., a Bayer-patterned image or a high-resolution image) is stored in the memory (1850), and the corresponding copy image (e.g., a low-resolution image) can be previewed through the display device (1760). Subsequently, when a specified condition is satisfied (e.g., user input or system command), at least a portion of the original image stored in the memory (1850) may be acquired and processed, for example, by an image signal processor (1860). According to one embodiment, the memory (1850) may be composed of at least a part of the memory (1830) or a separate memory that operates independently thereof.

[0174] The image signal processor (1860) can perform one or more image processing operations on an image acquired through the image sensor (1830) or an image stored in memory (1850). One or more of the above image processing methods may include, for example, depth map generation, 3D modeling, panorama generation, feature point extraction, image synthesis, or image compensation (e.g., noise reduction, resolution adjustment, brightness adjustment, blurring, sharpening, or softing). Additionally or generally, the image signal processor (1860) may perform control (e.g., exposure time control, or readout timing control, etc.) over at least one of the components included in the camera module (1880) (e.g., image sensor (1830)). The image processed by the image signal processor (1860) may be stored back in memory (1850) for further processing or provided to an external component of the camera module (1880) (e.g., memory (1730), display device (1760), electronic device (1702), electronic device (1704), or server (1708)). According to one embodiment, the image signal The processor (1860) may be composed of at least a part of the processor (1720) or may be composed of a separate processor that operates independently of the processor (1720). If the image signal processor (1860) is composed of a separate processor from the processor (1720), at least one image processed by the image signal processor (1860) may be displayed through the display device (1860) as is or after additional image processing by the processor (1820).

[0175] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (1701) may include a plurality of camera modules (1880) each having different attributes or functions. In this case, for example, at least one of the plurality of camera modules (1880) may be a wide-angle camera and at least another may be a telephoto camera. Similarly, at least one of the plurality of camera modules (1880) may be a front camera and at least another may be a rear camera.
