The present invention provides an optical system 100.
In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, the optical system 100 includes, in order along the light transmission direction, an image source 70, a sixth lens 60, a fifth lens 50, a fourth lens 40, a third lens 30, a second lens 20, and a first lens 10;
the first lens 10, the second lens 20 and the third lens 30 constitute a first lens group, and the fourth lens 40, the fifth lens 50 and the sixth lens 60 constitute a second lens group;
the first lens group has negative focal power, and the second lens group has positive focal power.
It should be noted that the optical system 100 of the present invention is applied to a projection apparatus, and includes a reduction side and an enlargement side along a light transmission direction, and the image source 70, the sixth lens 60, the fifth lens 50, the fourth lens 40, the third lens 30, the second lens 20, and the first lens 10 in the optical system 100 are sequentially disposed between the reduction side and the enlargement side along the same optical axis. Wherein, the reduction side is a side (as shown in B) where an image source 70 (such as a DMD chip) generating projection light is located in the projection process, i.e. an image side; the enlargement side is the side (as shown at a) where a projection surface (such as a projection screen) for displaying a projection image is located during projection, i.e., the object side. The transmission direction of the projection light is from the reduction side to the enlargement side.
Specifically, the projection light is emitted from the image source 70, emitted from the reduction side toward the enlargement side, passes through the sixth lens 60, the fifth lens 50, the fourth lens 40, the third lens 30, the second lens 20, and the first lens 10 in this order, and is finally output onto the projection surface on the side of the first lens 10 away from the second lens 20, so as to display the projection image.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the image source 70 may be a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) chip. The DMD is composed of a plurality of digital micromirrors arranged in a matrix, and each micromirror can deflect and lock in both forward and reverse directions during operation, so that light is projected in a predetermined direction, and swings at a frequency of tens of thousands of hertz, and light beams from an illumination light source enter the optical system 100 through the inverted reflection of the micromirror to be imaged on a screen. The DMD has the advantages of high resolution, no need of digital-to-analog conversion for signals and the like. This example uses a 0.23 "DMD, size 5.184mm 2.916mm, throw ratio in the range of 1.2-1.5. Of course, the image source 70 may also be a Liquid Crystal On Silicon (LCOS) chip or other display elements capable of emitting light, which is not limited in the present invention.
Wherein, for the whole optical system 100, the main function of the first lens group is to eliminate distortion and aberration during imaging and converge the light beam (or diverge the light beam if the actual projection effect is obtained); the second lens group has the main functions of eliminating chromatic aberration and controlling telecentricity, so that the optical system meets the imaging requirement, and meanwhile, the number of lenses is small, the structure is compact, and the optical system is small in size and convenient to carry and use.
Further, the first lens 10, the second lens 20, and the fifth lens 50 each have a negative power, and the third lens 30, the fourth lens 40, and the sixth lens 60 each have a positive power.
The focal power is the difference between the convergence of the image-side light beam and the convergence of the object-side light beam, and represents the ability of the optical system 100 to deflect light. The negative focal power lens is a lens with thin middle and thick periphery, is also called as a concave lens and has the function of diverging light; the positive focal power lens is a lens with thick middle part and thin periphery, which is also called a convex lens and has the function of converging light. In the technical scheme of the invention, the first lens 10 with positive focal power, the second lens 20 with negative focal power and the third lens 30 with positive focal power can eliminate distortion and aberration in the imaging process, and the double-cemented lens formed by combining the fourth lens 40 with positive focal power and the fifth lens 50 with negative focal power and the sixth lens 60 with positive focal power can eliminate chromatic aberration and control telecentricity, thereby ensuring the imaging quality.
Further, the optical system 100 satisfies the following relationship: TL/D is more than 0.5 and less than 5.75;
where TL is the total length of the optical system 100 and D is the largest lens aperture in the optical system 100.
Because the optical system 100 adopts six lenses, the number of the lenses is small, and meanwhile, the total length TL of the optical system 100 and the maximum lens caliber D in the optical system 100 are set to satisfy the following conditions: TL/D is more than 0.5 and less than 5.75, the total length and the radius of the optical system 100 can be controlled, so that the structure of the optical system 100 is compact, the volume size of the optical system 100 is ensured to be small to a certain extent, and the optical system 100 is convenient to carry and use. The total length of the optical system 100 is: a distance between a vertex of the light exit surface of the first lens 10 and a back surface (a surface on a side facing away from the sixth lens 60) of the image source 70 in the optical axis direction. In this embodiment, the maximum lens aperture in the optical system 100 is the aperture of the first lens 10, and in general, the projection lens has two lens apertures larger than the aperture of the middle lens, which facilitates the assembly of the lens and the design of the structure. In one embodiment, the total length TL of the optical system 100 is between 45 mm and 60 mm.
Therefore, in the technical solution of the present invention, the optical system 100 sequentially includes, along the light transmission direction, an image source 70, a positive power sixth lens 60, a negative power fifth lens 50, a positive power fourth lens 40, a positive power third lens 30, a negative power second lens 20, and a negative power first lens 10, and the total length TL of the optical system 100 and the maximum lens caliber D in the optical system 100 are set to satisfy: TL/D is more than 0.5 and less than 5.75, so that the optical system 100 meets the imaging requirement, and meanwhile, the optical system has small lens number and compact structure, thereby ensuring that the optical system 100 has small volume size and is convenient to carry and use.
Further, the light-emitting surface of the first lens 10 is a convex surface, and the light-entering surface is a concave surface;
the light-emitting surface of the second lens 20 is a concave surface, and the light-entering surface is a concave surface;
the light-emitting surface of the third lens 30 is a convex surface, and the light-entering surface is a convex surface;
the light-emitting surface of the fourth lens 40 is a concave surface, and the light-entering surface is a convex surface;
the light-emitting surface of the fifth lens 50 is a concave surface, and the light-entering surface is a convex surface;
the light-emitting surface of the sixth lens element 60 is a convex surface, and the light-entering surface is a convex surface.
Further, opposite surfaces of the fourth lens 40 and the fifth lens 50 are cemented to each other.
In the optical system 100, the result of non-paraxial ray tracing and the result of paraxial ray tracing do not coincide, and a deviation from an ideal state of gaussian optics (first order approximation theory or paraxial ray) is called aberration. The aberration is mainly classified into distortion, curvature of field, chromatic aberration, spherical aberration, coma aberration, astigmatism, and the like. The aberration affects the imaging quality of the projection lens, and therefore, it is necessary to eliminate the aberration generated when the optical system 100 images as much as possible when designing the projection lens.
Specifically, the first lens 10 is a meniscus lens having a negative refractive power, the second lens 20 is a biconcave lens having a negative refractive power, the third lens 30 is a biconvex lens having a positive refractive power, the fourth lens 40 is a meniscus lens having a positive focal length, the fifth lens 50 is a meniscus lens having a negative refractive power, the fourth lens 40 and the fifth lens 50 are cemented doublets combined together, and the sixth lens 60 is a biconvex lens having a positive refractive power. The double-cemented lens composed of the fourth lens 40 and the fifth lens 50 can effectively reduce chromatic aberration generated in the optical imaging process; the first lens 10 of the meniscus type can realize a large field angle, and mainly plays a role of gathering light rays in optical design (when designing, a projection picture is set as an object plane, light rays are incident from the object plane side of the first lens 10, and if the light rays are diverged according to an actual projection effect), and meanwhile, the first lens 10 also plays an important role of eliminating distortion, thereby ensuring imaging quality.
Specifically, the optical system 100 satisfies the following relationship: -10.2mm < f1< -18.5mm, -10.6mm < f2< -20.6mm, 13mm < f3<21.1mm, 11.5mm < f4<17.7mm, -12.2mm < f5< -20.7mm, 9.6mm < f6<16.6 mm;
where f1 is the effective focal length of the first lens element 10, f2 is the effective focal length of the second lens element 20, f3 is the effective focal length of the third lens element 30, f4 is the effective focal length of the fourth lens element 40, f5 is the effective focal length of the fifth lens element 50, and f6 is the effective focal length of the sixth lens element 60.
Specifically, the optical system 100 satisfies the following relationship: 5.5mm < f00<6.8mm, -65.6mm < f11< -57.6mm, 10mm < f22<15.5 mm;
where f00 is the effective focal length of the optical system 100, f11 is the effective focal length of the first lens group, and f22 is the effective focal length of the second lens group.
As an alternative embodiment, the first lens 10 and the sixth lens 60 are both aspheric lenses, and the second lens 20, the third lens 30, the fourth lens 40, and the fifth lens 50 are all spherical lenses.
Specifically, the light emitting surface (surface facing the magnification side) and the light incident surface (surface facing the reduction side) of the first lens 10 are both aspheric structures, the light emitting surface (surface facing the magnification side) and the light incident surface (surface facing the reduction side) of the sixth lens 60 are both aspheric structures, the light emitting surface (surface facing the magnification side) and the light incident surface (surface facing the reduction side) of the second lens 20 are both spherical structures, the light emitting surface (surface facing the magnification side) and the light incident surface (surface facing the reduction side) of the third lens 30 are both spherical structures, the light emitting surface (surface facing the magnification side) and the light incident surface (surface facing the reduction side) of the fourth lens 40 are both spherical structures, and the light emitting surface (surface facing the magnification side) and the light incident surface (surface facing the reduction side) of the fifth lens 50 are both spherical structures.
When the lens surface is an aspheric structure, the edge aberration of the lens can be effectively reduced, thereby improving the performance of the optical system 100 and improving the imaging quality. By the aspherical structure, an effect of correcting aberration for a plurality of spherical lenses is effectively achieved, which is also advantageous for achieving miniaturization of the optical system 100. The use of the spherical lens can effectively reduce the processing difficulty and the production cost of the lens, thereby reducing the cost of the optical system 100.
In an alternative embodiment, the first lens 10 is made of an optical plastic material, and the second lens 20, the third lens 30, the fourth lens 40, the fifth lens 50 and the sixth lens 60 are all made of an optical glass material.
Image source 70 is under the circumstances of switch on, emission projection light, under the circumstances that image source 70 emits projection light, image source 70 itself produces heat, generally speaking, glass's lens has higher high temperature resistant characteristic, that is, under the same temperature, glass's the distortion rate of being heated is far less than the plastics material, better stability has, and the lens of plastic material is out of shape easily under the influence of high temperature, volatilize toxic gas even, therefore, can be close to second lens 20 of image source 70, third lens 30, fourth lens 40, fifth lens 50 sixth lens 60 that is the sixth lens 60 sets up to the glass material, thereby reduce the influence that high temperature was like images to optical system 100 in the at utmost. The first lens element 10 is farthest from the image source 70 and is least affected by temperature, and considering that the cost of the plastic material is lower than that of the glass material, the first lens element 10 is made of the plastic material, which is beneficial to reducing the cost.
In an alternative embodiment, the optical system 100 further includes a diaphragm 80, and the diaphragm 80 is disposed between the third lens 30 and the fourth lens 40.
Specifically, the diaphragm 80 is specifically an aperture diaphragm 80, and the diaphragm 80 is configured to limit the diameter of the passing projection light, adjust the light flux exiting the optical system 100, and reduce the stray light interference generated by the reflection of other lenses, so as to make the imaging of the projection light clearer. The aperture of the diaphragm 80 is usually a fixed value, but of course, in order to flexibly adjust the image sharpness and make the projection lens better adapt to the switching of high and low resolutions, the diaphragm 80 may be set in a manner that the aperture size can be adjusted.
As an alternative embodiment, the optical system 100 further includes a turning prism 72, and the turning prism 72 is disposed between the sixth lens 60 and the image source 70.
In some embodiments, the image source 70 sometimes needs to be passively illuminated. Therefore, additional illumination of the image source 70 by an external light source and turning prism 72 is required. Specifically, the prism may be a right-angle prism, an inclined plane of the right-angle prism faces the image source 70, one of right-angle surfaces of the right-angle prism faces the sixth lens 60, and meanwhile, the light source is disposed corresponding to the inclined plane of the right-angle prism, and the inclined plane of the right-angle prism is provided with a semi-reflective and semi-transparent film. When the projection display device is used, an external light source emits illumination light, the illumination light is emitted to the inclined plane of the right-angle prism, is reflected by the semi-reflective and semi-transparent film and then is emitted to the image source 70, so that the light is provided for the image source 70, is modulated by the image source 70, is transmitted by the semi-reflective and semi-transparent film and then is emitted to the sixth lens 60, and sequentially passes through the sixth lens 60, the fifth lens 50, the fourth lens 40, the third lens 30, the second lens 20 and the first lens 10, so that a projection image is displayed on a projection screen.
As an alternative embodiment, the optical system 100 further comprises a galvanometer 90, the galvanometer 90 being disposed between the sixth lens 60 and the image source 70.
Specifically, the galvanometer 90 is a transparent glass plate, and the vibrating of the galvanometer 90 is generally rotated about a horizontal axis or a vertical axis (in the case where the optical axis is a Z axis, the horizontal axis is an X axis, and the vertical axis is a Y axis) at an intermediate position. When the galvanometer 90 is stationary, the projection light is incident on the galvanometer 90 along the optical axis direction perpendicular to the light incident surface of the galvanometer 90 and penetrates through the galvanometer 90. When the galvanometer 90 rotates, the incident angle formed by the projection light and the light incident surface of the galvanometer 90 is smaller than 90 degrees, so that the projection light is refracted after passing through the galvanometer 90, and the imaging position of the projection light is also changed. Namely, the projection light passes through the rotating galvanometer 90, and is displayed in an imaging mode at another position around the original imaging position. Therefore, another pixel point is formed at the periphery of the original pixel point. Due to the high-frequency vibration of the galvanometer 90, the vibration period is in the microsecond level, and the interval time formed by two pixel points is short. And human eyes have persistence of vision, and the number of frames of a picture that can be recognized by human eyes is 24 frames. In short, after the next pixel point is formed, the human eyes obtain the picture and stay on the previous pixel point, so that the two pixel points are combined together to form a larger resolution picture.
Therefore, through the periodic vibration of the galvanometer 90, the light emitted by the image source 70 is deflected along the vibration direction, so that the resolution ratio of the image source 70 is fixed, and the light emitted by the image source 70 can be projected to different positions through the vibration of the galvanometer 90, thereby increasing the resolution ratio of the projection device corresponding to the optical system 100 and improving the use experience of a user.
As an alternative embodiment, the optical system 100 further comprises a transparent protection layer 71, and the transparent protection layer 71 covers the side of the image source 70 facing the sixth lens 60.
Specifically, the transparent protection layer 71 is a cover glass, the thickness of the cover glass is 1.1mm, the cover glass covers the light emitting surface of the image source 70, the image source 70 can be effectively protected on the premise of ensuring good light transmittance, external dust is prevented from entering the image source 70, other lenses in the optical system 100 can be prevented from colliding with the image source 70 due to vibration, and the image source 70 is protected from being affected by impact of external environment or other elements.
