Solution Overview

Problem

Current camera optical lenses for handheld devices face challenges in achieving excellent optical performance while meeting requirements for large aperture, long focal length, and ultra-thinness, particularly due to unreasonable optical power, lens spacing, and lens shape in existing eight-piece lens structures.

Innovation Solution

A camera optical lens design comprising eight lenses with specific refractive powers and curvature radii, optimized by satisfying conditions such as 0.95≤f/TTL, 3.50≤f2/f≤5.00, and −20.00≤(R9+R10)/(R9−R10)≤−3.50, which balances focal length and aberration correction, enabling large aperture and ultra-thinness.
