Solution Overview

Problem

Existing optical lenses in portable electronic devices suffer from increased complexity, low product yield, and ghost images due to ambient light interference, which complicates imaging quality and processing.

Innovation Solution

An optical lens design with specific lens shapes and focal powers, including a convex object side surface and concave image side surface for the fourth lens, and satisfying expressions like SAG8D0.5/SAG8D1>0.35, reduces ghost image energy by controlling reflection angles below the critical angle.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the lens structure is complicated to ensure high imaging quality, then imaging quality is improved, but processing difficulty increases and product yield decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by optimizing the sagittal height ratio (SAG8D0.5/SAG8D1>0.35) of the fourth lens surface to control reflection angles. This specific parameter adjustment reduces ghost image energy while maintaining imaging quality, avoiding the need for more complex lens structures.
