Six-Lens Imaging Optical System Aberration Correction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current imaging optical lenses for portable devices fail to achieve excellent image quality, high light flux, and a wide angle due to improper distribution of refractive power and material ratios among lenses.
Innovation Solution
The design of a six-piece imaging optical lens with specific refractive power and Abbe number relationships among its lenses, along with aspheric surfaces, corrects aberrations and optimizes focal power distribution to achieve a large aperture, high light flux, and wide angle, with the first lens having a positive refractive power and the sixth lens having a negative refractive power, and the use of a glass plate between the sixth lens and the image surface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If a six-piece lens configuration is used with large aperture design, then light flux is improved, but image quality deteriorates due to improper refractive power distribution
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by establishing specific mathematical relationships between the refractive powers of different lenses (e.g., φ1+φ2>0, φ3<0, φ4<0, φ5>0, φ6<0) and setting precise ranges for focal lengths and aperture ratios. This systematic parameter optimization resolves the contradiction by ensuring proper light distribution while maintaining excellent image quality through corrected aberrations.
2Ease of manufacture
If lens material distribution is not optimized, then manufacturing is simplified, but optical performance deteriorates with insufficient light flux
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by assigning specific material properties to different lens positions. It specifies that the first lens has refractive index 1.5<n1<2.0 and Abbe number 20<v1<60, while the second lens has 1.5<n2<2.0 and 20<v2<60, and establishes material distribution patterns that optimize light flux locally at each lens position while maintaining overall manufacturing feasibility.
3Device complexity
If refractive power ratio is not properly set, then design complexity is reduced, but wide angle effect cannot be achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent resolves this contradiction by establishing specific parameter relationships: the first lens has positive refractive power (φ1>0), the second lens has negative refractive power (φ2<0) with |φ2|<φ1, the third lens has negative refractive power (φ3<0), and so on. These parameter constraints create a balanced design that achieves wide angle effect without excessive design complexity.
4Illumination intensity
If aperture is enlarged for high light flux, then illumination is improved, but aberrations increase reducing image quality
Solution Approach 1:
The patent converts the harmful effect of increased aberrations from large aperture into a benefit by using the sixth lens with negative refractive power (φ6<0) and specific focal length relationships (|f6|<f1, |f6|<f2) to actively correct these aberrations. The system transforms the problem of increased aberrations from large aperture into an opportunity for aberration correction, achieving both high light flux and excellent image quality.
