Solution Overview

Problem

There is an urgent need for a wide-angle imaging lens with excellent optical characteristics, small size, and fully corrected aberrations, particularly for handheld terminal devices and imaging devices where miniaturization and high image quality are essential.

Innovation Solution

A camera optical lens comprising five lenses, arranged from object side to image side with specific refractive powers and surface curvatures, satisfying conditions such as 12.00≤TTL/f≤15.00, 2.00f45/f6.00, and 0(R3+R4)/(R3−R4)<1.00, which ensures optimal optical performance, miniaturization, and correction of aberrations.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a multi-piece lens structure is used to improve image quality, then optical characteristics are improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The lens system is divided into five separate lens elements with different refractive powers (negative, negative, positive, negative, positive), each segment contributing to correcting specific optical aberrations while working together to achieve excellent overall optical characteristics

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Each lens element is designed with specific local optical properties - the first and second lenses have negative refractive power to control distortion, the third lens has positive refractive power for focusing, and the fourth and fifth lenses have negative and positive refractive powers respectively to correct chromatic aberration and other optical defects

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Volume of moving object

If pixel size is reduced to enable miniaturization, then device size is reduced, but image quality deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The lens design uses specific parameter relationships (TTL/f ratio between 12.00-15.00, f45/f ratio between 2.00-6.00, curvature radius ratios) to optimize the optical path and light distribution, ensuring excellent image quality is maintained even with reduced pixel size and compact lens structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If aperture is increased to improve light gathering ability, then optical performance is improved, but distortion increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoptical performanceVSAvoiddistortion
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The lens system segments the optical path into five stages with different refractive powers, where the negative refractive power lenses (first, second, and fourth lenses) specifically work to counteract distortion while the positive refractive power lenses (third and fifth lenses) maintain focus and optical performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The lens elements have asymmetric curvature configurations - for example, the first lens has different curvature radii on object and image sides (R1, R2), and the fourth lens has asymmetric curvatures (R7, R8) - which allows the system to achieve wide aperture while minimizing distortion through asymmetric light path correction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry
