In order to make the objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below. Several embodiments of the invention are presented in the drawings. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used in the description of the invention herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the specification.
The invention provides a wide-angle lens, which sequentially comprises the following components from an object side to an imaging surface along an optical axis: the lens comprises a first lens, a second lens, a diaphragm, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, a seventh lens, an optical filter and protective glass.
The first lens has negative focal power, the object side surface of the first lens is a convex surface, and the image side surface of the first lens is a concave surface;
the second lens has negative focal power, the object side surface of the second lens is a concave surface, and the image side surface of the second lens is a convex surface;
the third lens has positive focal power, the object side surface of the third lens is a convex surface, and the image side surface of the third lens is a concave surface;
the fourth lens has positive focal power, and both the object side surface and the image side surface of the fourth lens are convex surfaces;
the fifth lens has negative focal power, and the object side surface and the image side surface of the fifth lens are both concave surfaces;
the sixth lens has positive focal power, and both the object-side surface and the image-side surface of the sixth lens are convex surfaces;
the seventh lens element has a negative optical power, an object-side surface of the seventh lens element being convex and having an inflection point at a paraxial region, and an image-side surface of the seventh lens element being concave and having an inflection point at a paraxial region.
In order to improve the thermal stability of the lens, the glass-plastic mixed lens structure is adopted, so that the miniaturization and the low cost are realized, and the good imaging effect of the lens can be ensured. Specifically, the third lens can be a glass spherical lens, which can correct the temperature drift of the system well and improve the thermal stability of the lens. The first lens, the second lens, the fourth lens, the fifth lens, the sixth lens and the seventh lens can be plastic aspheric lenses, and the aspheric lenses are adopted, so that the number of lenses can be effectively reduced, aberration can be corrected, and better optical performance can be provided.
Further, the wide-angle lens satisfies the following conditional expression:
0.9≤F#≤1.0;(1)
wherein F # denotes an F-number of the wide-angle lens. The F # is the ratio of the effective focal length of the lens to the clear aperture of the lens, and a smaller F # indicates a larger aperture of the wide-angle lens. When the condition formula (1) is met, the wide-angle lens has the characteristic of an oversized aperture, the luminous flux entering the lens is increased to a certain extent, and particularly, the influence of noise caused by insufficient light on an imaging picture can be reduced under a dark environment at night, so that the imaging quality is improved.
In some embodiments, the wide-angle lens satisfies the following conditional expression:
1.1<f/IH<1.2;(2)
where f represents the effective focal length of the wide-angle lens, and IH represents the actual half-image height of the wide-angle lens. When the conditional expression (2) is satisfied, the optical system can be made compact and miniaturized while having high pixel performance.
In some embodiments, the wide-angle lens satisfies the following conditional expression:
9.0mm<f*tanθ<9.5mm;(3)
where f denotes an effective focal length of the wide-angle lens, and θ denotes a half field angle of the wide-angle lens. When the conditional expression (3) is satisfied, the optical system has a larger field angle, and can satisfy the shooting requirement of a large wide angle, and meanwhile, the optical system also has a larger imaging surface, and can realize higher pixel performance.
In some embodiments, the wide-angle lens satisfies the following conditional expression:
1.95<(SAG11+SAG12)/CT1<2.1;(4)
where SAG11 represents the saggital height of the object-side surface of the first lens, SAG12 represents the saggital height of the image-side surface of the first lens, and CT1 represents the center thickness of the first lens. The surface shape of the first lens can be reasonably limited by satisfying the conditional expression (4), and the processing difficulty of the lens is reduced on the premise of ensuring the bending force of the lens on light; if the value of (SAG11+ SAG12)/CT1 exceeds the lower limit, the light ray bending capability of the first lens is insufficient, and the total length of the lens is long; if the value of (SAG11+ SAG12)/CT1 exceeds the upper limit, the object-side surface of the first lens is convex and conspicuous, resulting in difficulty in lens forming.
In some embodiments, the wide-angle lens satisfies the following conditional expression:
0.4<CT1/CT3<1.0;(5)
where CT1 denotes the center thickness of the first lens and CT3 denotes the center thickness of the third lens. Satisfy conditional expression (5), can rationally control the thickness ratio of first lens and third lens, under the prerequisite of guaranteeing that the lens is normally processed, the reduction system leads to the drift of imaging surface because of being heated. If the value of CT1/CT3 exceeds the lower limit, the thermal expansion of the first lens element and the third lens element cannot effectively compensate the thermal expansion of the rear lens element under high temperature condition of the lens, which results in large back focus of the lens and reduced imaging quality; on the contrary, if the value of CT1/CT3 exceeds the upper limit, the back focus of the lens is reduced, and the imaging quality is reduced.
In some embodiments, the wide-angle lens satisfies the following conditional expression:
0.5<R32/f3<3.0;(6)
0.1<R31/R32<0.8;(7)
0.001mm/℃<f3*(dn/dt)3<0.003mm/℃;(8)
wherein R31 represents the curvature radius of the object side surface of the third lens, R32 represents the curvature radius of the image side surface of the third lens, f3 represents the effective focal length of the third lens, and (dn/dt)3 represents the temperature coefficient of the refractive index of the material of the third lens at 20-70 ℃. The refractive power of the third lens element can be reasonably distributed to avoid the imbalance of aberration caused by excessive refractive power of the front lens element group when the conditional expressions (6) to (8) are satisfied; meanwhile, the thermal drift generated by the front lens group and the rear lens group in a high-low temperature environment (minus 30-70 ℃) can be integrated, so that the lens still has good imaging performance in the high-low temperature environment, the thermal stability of the lens is improved, and the application range and the use scene of the lens are widened.
In some embodiments, the wide-angle lens satisfies the following conditional expression:
1.35<(YR71+ YR72)/IH<1.50;(9)
wherein, YR71Denotes the perpendicular distance, Y, of the inverse curve on the object-side surface of the seventh lens element from the optical axisR72The vertical distance between an inflection point on the image side surface of the seventh lens and an optical axis is represented, IH represents the actual half image height of the wide-angle lens, and Y is specificR71And YR72Can be seen in fig. 13. The object side face and the image side face of the seventh lens are provided with the inflection points, the conditional expression (9) is satisfied, the positions of the inflection points on the object side face and the image side face of the seventh lens can be reasonably set, coma aberration correction of an off-axis field of view is facilitated to be enhanced, meanwhile, the convergence field curvature is good, and the imaging quality is improved.
In some embodiments, the wide-angle lens satisfies the following conditional expression:
0.25<(ET5-CT5)/(ET5+CT5)<0.45;(10)
where CT5 denotes the center thickness of the fifth lens and ET5 denotes the edge thickness of the fifth lens. When the conditional expression (10) is satisfied, the shape of the fifth lens can be reasonably limited, and the processing difficulty of the lens is reduced on the premise of ensuring the light divergence capability of the biconcave lens; if the value of (ET5-CT5)/(ET5+ CT5) exceeds the lower limit, the fifth lens will have insufficient light ray diverging ability and will result in a long total lens length; if the value of (ET5-CT5)/(ET5+ CT5) exceeds the upper limit, the thickness of the fifth lens is large, and the lens is difficult to machine and form due to the biconcave lens.
In some embodiments, the wide-angle lens satisfies the following conditional expression:
0.04<SD45/CT5<0.5;(11)
where SD45 denotes the distance on the optical axis between the image-side surface of the fourth lens and the object-side surface of the fifth lens, and CT5 denotes the center thickness of the fifth lens. When the conditional expression (11) is satisfied, the distance between the fourth lens element and the fifth lens element is properly adjusted, which is helpful to shorten the total length of the optical system, maintain the miniaturization thereof, satisfy the lens manufacturing and molding, and improve the manufacturing yield.
In some embodiments, the wide-angle lens satisfies the following conditional expression:
1.2<EPDI/IH<1.35;(12)
wherein, EPDI represents the clear aperture of the wide-angle lens, and IH represents the actual half-image height of the wide-angle lens. When the conditional expression (12) is satisfied, the reasonable balance between the large light flux amount and the large imaging surface of the lens can be realized, so that the lens has a large aperture and a high resolving power.
In some embodiments, the wide-angle lens satisfies the following conditional expression:
10°<CRA<13°;(13)
wherein CRA represents an incident angle of a chief ray of the wide-angle lens on an imaging plane. When the conditional expression (13) is met, the chief ray incident angle of the chip can be well matched, the light effect received by the photosensitive area of the chip is effectively improved, and the optimal imaging effect is achieved.
