Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、撮像レンズ装置に関するものであり、特に被写体の映像を光学系により光学的に取り込んで撮像素子により電気的な信号として出力する撮像レンズ装置{例えば、デジタルカメラ;ビデオカメラ;デジタルビデオユニット,パーソナルコンピュータ,モバイルコンピュータ,携帯電話,携帯通信端末,携帯情報端末(PDA:Personal Digital Assistant)等に内蔵又は外付けされるカメラの主たる構成要素}、なかでも小型のズームレンズ系を備えた撮像レンズ装置に関するものである。また、そのような撮像レンズ装置を備えた電子機器に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、パーソナルコンピュータ等の普及に伴い、手軽に画像情報をデジタル機器に取り込むことができるデジタルスチルカメラやデジタルビデオカメラ等(以下デジタルカメラと呼称する)が個人ユーザレベルで普及しつつある。このようなデジタルカメラは、今後も画像情報の入力機器として益々普及することが予想される。その結果、画質を劣化させずに変倍が可能なズームレンズ系を搭載したコンパクトな撮像レンズ装置が切望されており、コンパクトな撮像レンズ装置も開発されてきている。
【0003】
そして、撮像レンズ装置の小型化、画像処理能力の向上により、携帯電話やPDA等の電子機器にも撮像レンズ装置が搭載されるようになっている。
【0004】
このような撮像レンズ装置を、さらに小型化するために、ズームレンズ系を光路の途中で折り曲げ、光路長を変化させずにコンパクト化を図る提案が成されている。このような例として、特許文献1〜4に記載のズームレンズ系がある。
【0005】
特許文献1〜3に記載のズームレンズ系はいずれも最も物体側に負のメニスカスレンズが配置され、そのレンズの像面側に配置されたプリズムまたは反射ミラーによって光路が折り曲げられている。
【0006】
特許文献4に記載のズームレンズ系は、3つのレンズ群よりなり、最も物体側に、物体側の面が凹面である光路折り曲げ用のプリズムを配置している。
【0007】
【特許文献1】特開平9−138347号公報
【特許文献2】特開平11−196303号公報
【特許文献3】特開2000−131610号公報
【特許文献4】特願2002−232965号
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、特許文献1〜3記載の各ズームレンズ系は、第1レンズ群がレンズと反射部材とで構成されているため、コンパクト化が充分ではない。また、撮像レンズ装置を搭載する電子機器を薄型化するためには、撮像レンズ装置の入射光軸方向に薄型化する必要がある。撮像レンズ装置の入射光軸方向の寸法は、実質的に、入射面と光路折り曲げ反射面との距離で決まる。しかし、特許文献1〜3記載のズームレンズ系では、最も物体側にレンズを備えているため充分な薄型化は達成できていない。
【0008】
一方、特許文献4記載のズームレンズ系は、第1レンズ群がプリズムのみで構成されているため薄型化の要求は満たされているが、30万画素程度の撮像素子に対応したズームレンズ系であり、より高精細な画像(例えば100万画素以上)が要求される場合には充分な性能を持っているとは言い難い。
【0009】
本発明は、このような状況に鑑みてなされたものであって、その目的は、ズーム比3倍程度のズームレンズ系を備え、超小型のデジタルカメラやPDAに搭載するの充分な小型化が達成され、100万画素相当以上の解像力を備えた高性能な撮像レンズ装置を提供することにある。また、そのような撮像レンズ装置を備えた電子機器、例えばデジタルカメラ、PDAを提供することを目的とする。
【0010】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために、本発明の撮像レンズ装置は、複数の群からなり各群の間隔を変化させることにより変倍を行うズームレンズ系と、前記ズームレンズ系により形成された光学像を電気的な信号に変換する撮像素子と、を備えた撮像レンズ装置であって、前記ズームレンズ系は、物体側から順に、全体として負の光学的パワーを持つ光路折り曲げ用プリズムを有し、変倍において位置固定で負の光学的パワーをもつ第1レンズ群と、変倍において移動する負の光学的パワーをもつ第2レンズ群と、変倍において移動する正の光学的パワーをもつ第3レンズ群と、正の光学的パワーを持つ第4レンズ群と、から構成され、前記第1レンズ群は、最も物体側に前記光路折り曲げ用プリズムを有し前記光路折り曲げ用プリズムの最も物体側の面は凹面であり、以下の条件式(1)を満足する。
−0.23 < P1/Pw < −0.05 (1)
ただし、
P1:第1レンズ群の光学的パワー、
Pw:ズームレンズ系の広角端での光学的パワー、
である。
【0011】
また、本発明の別の局面である電子機器は、上記特徴を有する撮像レンズ装置を備えている。
【0012】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明を実施した撮像レンズ装置を、図面を参照しつつ説明する。被写体の映像を光学的に取り込んで電気的な信号として出力する撮像レンズ装置は、被写体の静止画撮影や動画撮影に用いられるカメラ{例えば、デジタルカメラ;ビデオカメラ;デジタルビデオユニット、パーソナルコンピュータ、モバイルコンピュータ、携帯電話、PDA等の電子機器に内蔵又は外付けされるカメラ}の主たる構成要素である。
【0013】
図14は、本発明に係るデジタルスチルカメラの概略外観図であり、図14(a)は、デジタルスチルカメラの正面図、図14(b)は、デジタルスチルカメラの背面図である。デジタルスチルカメラ1は、前面に撮像レンズ装置6の入射側レンズが、上面にレリーズボタン3が、背面には、液晶モニター(LCD)4および操作ボタン5が配置されている。
【0014】
図1は、本発明に係るデジタルスチルカメラの内部構成の概略を模式的に示す図であり、図1(a)はデジタルスチルカメラの正面図、図1(b)は撮像レンズ装置の側面図に対応する内部構成を模式的に示している。物体(被写体)は図1(a)においては紙面手前側、図1(b)においては紙面左側に位置する。図1において、デジタルスチルカメラの外形線は筐体2を表している。撮像レンズ装置6は、物体側から順に、物体の光学像を形成するズームレンズ系(TL)と、光学的ローパスフィルタ等に相当する平行平面板(LPF)と、ズームレンズ系(TL)により形成された光学像を電気的な信号に変換する撮像素子(SR)と、を有している。
【0015】
撮像素子(SR)としては、例えば複数の画素から成るCCDやCMOS(Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor)センサー等の固体撮像素子が用いられ、ズームレンズ系(TL)により形成された光学像が電気的な信号に変換される。またズームレンズ系(TL)で形成されるべき光学像は、撮像素子(SR)の画素ピッチにより決定される所定の遮断周波数特性を有する光学的ローパスフィルタ(LPF)を通過することにより、電気的な信号に変換される際に発生するいわゆる折り返しノイズが最小化されるように、空間周波数特性が調整される。
【0016】
撮像素子(SR)で生成された信号は、信号処理部7によって、サンプリング、所定のアナログ画像処理、A/D変換、デジタル画像処理や画像圧縮処理等が施されてデジタル映像信号としてメモリ8(半導体メモリ,光ディスク等)に記録されたり、場合によってはケーブルを介したり赤外線信号に変換されたりして他の機器に伝送される。コントローラ10は、マイクロコンピュータからなり、撮影機能、画像再生機能を集中的に制御する。また、ズーミングおよびフォーカシングのために、アクチュエータ11に指令を送り、レンズ群の移動を制御する。液晶モニター4は、撮像素子(SR)によって変換された画像信号を画像として表示する、あるいはメモリ8に記録された画像信号を画像として表示するものである。操作部9は、レリーズボタン3、操作ボタン5等の各種ボタン、ダイヤルを包括するものであり、ユーザーによって操作入力される情報は操作部9を介して、コントローラ10に伝達される。
【0017】
次にズームレンズ系(TL)について図1を使用して説明する。ズームレンズ系(TL)は、物体側より、負の光学的パワーを持つ面と裏面反射で光路を折り曲げる反射面(REF)とを含む全体として負の光学的パワーを有するプリズム(PR)を備えた第1レンズ群(Gr1)と、負の光学的パワーを持つ第2レンズ群(Gr2)と、正の光学パワーを持つ第3レンズ群(Gr3)と、正の光学的パワーを持つ第4レンズ群(Gr4)とから構成されている。
【0018】
入射光軸(最も物体側のレンズ面の光軸)である第1の光軸(AX1)はプリズム(PR)の反射面(REF)によって略90°折り曲げられる。第2〜第4レンズ群は、反射面(REF)によって折り曲げられた後の第2の光軸(AX2)上に配置されている。第2レンズ群(Gr2)および第3レンズ群(Gr3)は、変倍時に第2の光軸(AX2)上を移動する。
【0019】
デジタルスチルカメラ1は、上記説明の撮像レンズ装置6によって、薄型化とコンパクト化が可能となる。入射光軸が略90°折り曲げられることにより、デジタルカメラの奥行き方向に薄型化できる。なお、デジタルスチルカメラ1は、撮像レンズ装置6としては、以下に示す第1〜第4の実施の形態を構成するズームレンズ系のいずれかを搭載している。
【0020】
図2〜図5は、上記撮像レンズ装置の、第1〜第4の実施の形態を構成するズームレンズ系にそれぞれ対応するレンズ構成図であり、広角端[W]でのレンズ配置を光学断面で示している。各レンズ構成図中の矢印mj(j=1,2,...)は、広角端[W]から望遠端[T]へのズーミングにおける第j群(Grj)等の移動をそれぞれ模式的に示している。また、各レンズ構成図中、ri(i=1,2,3,...)が付された面は物体側から数えてi番目の面であり、riに*印が付された面は非球面である。di(i=1,2,3,...)が付された軸上面間隔は、物体側から数えてi番目の軸上面間隔のうち、ズーミングにおいて変化する可変間隔である。なお、図2〜図5のそれぞれのレンズ構成図は、便宜上、光軸が折り曲げられておらず、一直線上にレンズが配置されている。したがって、折り曲げのためのプリズム(PR)の形状は図示されていない。
【0021】
一方、図6〜図9は、第1〜第4の実施の形態を構成するズームレンズ系にそれぞれ対応する光路図である。各光路図には、軸上光(像高Y’=0)と撮像素子の短辺断面の光路、すなわち、図6、図7ではY’=±1.56mm、図8ではY’=±1.2mm、図9ではY’=±1.32mmに対応する光路が示されている。
【0022】
各実施形態のズームレンズ系はいずれも、物体側から順に、負の光学的パワーを有する面と光路を略90°折り曲げるための内部反射面(REF)とを有するプリズム(PR)からなる第1レンズ群(Gr1)と、負の光学的パワーを有する第2レンズ群(Gr2)と、正の光学的パワーを有する第3レンズ群(Gr3)と、正の光学的パワーを有する第4レンズ群(Gr4)と、を有する。広角端[W]から望遠端[T]への変倍時に、第3レンズ群(Gr3)は広角端[W]での位置よりも常に物体側に位置するように移動し、第2レンズ群(Gr2)は第3レンズ群の移動に伴う像点移動を補正するように移動し、各レンズ群の間隔を変えることにより変倍を行う構成となっている。
【0023】
また、いずれの撮像レンズ装置も、絞り(SP)は第3レンズ群の最も物体側のレンズ面(r8)に配置されている。図1に示すように、レンズ面(r8)を鏡胴に固定するためのレンズ押さえ部材(例えばリングワッシャ)の内径が絞り(SP)の機能を果たしている。なお、絞り(SP)は、このような形態に限らず、また他の部材によって構成されてもよい。また、可変絞りであってもよい。
【0024】
そして、固体撮像素子(例えばCCD)を備えたカメラ(例えばデジタルスチルカメラ)に用いられるズームレンズ系として、その像面側には光学的ローパスフィルタ等に相当するガラス製の平行平面板(LPF)が配置されている。いずれの実施の形態においても、第1レンズ群(Gr1)は、光軸を折り曲げるためのプリズム(PR)のみで構成されている。また、第2レンズ群(Gr2)と第3レンズ群(Gr3)には正レンズと負レンズがそれぞれ一枚づつ用いられている。第4レンズ群(Gr4)は一枚のレンズエレメントで構成されている。各実施の形態のレンズ構成をさらに詳しく以下に説明する。
【0025】
《第1の実施の形態(図2および図6、負負正正)》第1の実施の形態のズームレンズ系は負・負・正・正の4群ズームレンズであり、各レンズ群は物体側から順に以下のように構成されている。第1レンズ群(Gr1)は、物体側が非球面形状の凹面と光軸を略90°折り曲げるための反射面(REF)と平面とからなるプリズム(PR)、のみで構成されている。第2レンズ群(Gr2)は、両面に非球面を有する両凹レンズと両凸の正レンズとで構成されており、第1の光軸(AX1)がプリズムで折り曲げられた後の第2の光軸(AX2)上に配置される。第3レンズ群(Gr3)は、両面に非球面を有する両凸の正レンズと、像面側に非球面を有し像面側に凹の負メニスカスレンズとで構成されている。第4レンズ群(Gr4)は、両面に非球面を有し像面側に凸の正メニスカスレンズのみで構成されている。
【0026】
《第2の実施の形態(図3および図7、負負正正)》第2の実施の形態のズームレンズ系は負・負・正・正の4群ズームレンズであり、各レンズ群は物体側から順に以下のように構成されている。第1レンズ群(Gr1)は、物体側が非球面形状の凹面と光軸を略90°折り曲げるための反射面(REF)と平面とからなるプリズム(PR)、のみで構成されている。第2レンズ群(Gr2)は、両面に非球面を有する両凹レンズと両凸の正レンズとで構成されており、第1の光軸(AX1)がプリズム(PR)で折り曲げられた後の第2の光軸(AX2)上に配置される。第3レンズ群(Gr3)は、両面に非球面を有する両凸の正レンズと、像面側に非球面を有する両凹の負レンズとで構成されている。第4レンズ群(Gr4)は、両面に非球面を有し像面側に凸の正メニスカスレンズのみで構成されている。
【0027】
《第3の実施の形態(図4および図8、負負正正)》第3の実施の形態のズームレンズ系は負・負・正・正の4群ズームレンズであり、各レンズ群は物体側から順に以下のように構成されている。第1レンズ群(Gr1)は、物体側が非球面形状の凹面と光軸を略90°折り曲げるための反射面(REF)と非球面形状の像面側に凸の面とからなるプリズム(PR)、のみで構成されている。第2レンズ群(Gr2)は、両面に非球面を有する両凹レンズと両凸の正レンズとで構成されており、第1の光軸(AX1)がプリズム(PR)で折り曲げられた後の第2の光軸(AX2)上に配置される。第3レンズ群(Gr3)は、両面に非球面を有する両凸の正レンズと、像面側に非球面を有する両凹の負レンズとで構成されている。第4レンズ群(Gr4)は、両面に非球面を有し像面側に凸の正メニスカスレンズのみで構成されている。
【0028】
《第4の実施の形態(図5および図9、負負正正)》第4の実施の形態のズームレンズ系は負・負・正・正の4群ズームレンズであり、各レンズ群は物体側から順に以下のように構成されている。第1レンズ群(Gr1)は、物体側が非球面形状の凹面と光軸を略90°折り曲げるための反射面(REF)と平面とからなるプリズム(PR)、のみで構成されている。第2レンズ群(Gr2)は、両面に非球面を有する両凹レンズと物体側に凸の正メニスカスレンズとで構成されており、第1の光軸(AX1)がプリズム(PR)で折り曲げられた後の第2の光軸(AX2)上に配置される。第3レンズ群(Gr3)は、両面に非球面を有する両凸の正レンズと、像面側に非球面を有する両凹の負レンズとで構成されている。第4レンズ群(Gr4)は、両面に非球面を有する両凸の正レンズのみで構成されている。
【0029】
上記第1の実施の形態では、広角端[W]から望遠端[T]への変倍時に、第1レンズ群(Gr1)の位置は固定で、第2レンズ群(Gr2)が像面側に移動したのち物体側にUターンし、第3のレンズ群(Gr4)は、広角端[W]での位置よりも常に像面側から物体側に位置するよう移動し、第4レンズ群(Gr4)は広角端[W]での位置より常に物体側から像面側に移動する。
【0030】
上記第2、第3および第4の実施の形態では、広角端[W]から望遠端[T]への変倍時に、第1レンズ群(Gr1)および第4レンズ群(Gr4)の位置は固定で、第2レンズ群(Gr2)が像面側に移動したのち物体側にUターンし、第3のレンズ群(Gr3)は、広角端[W]での位置よりも常に像面側から物体側に位置するよう移動する。
【0031】
各実施の形態のズームレンズ系(TL)では、ズーミングにおいて負の光学的パワーを持つ第1レンズ群(Gr1)が位置固定されており、ズームレンズ系の全長変化を抑えることが出来る。
【0032】
各実施の形態のズームレンズ系(TL)では、プリズムを使用した反射面により光路を略90°折り曲げる構成が採用されており、これによってズームレンズ系の入射光軸方向(つまり奥行き方向)の長さが短くできる。撮像レンズ装置6の入射光軸方向の長さは、実質的に、ズームレンズ系の最も物体側のレンズ面から反射面(REF)までの長さで決定されるが、各実施の形態のズームレンズ系では、負の光学的パワーを持つの第1レンズ群(Gr1)は、入射面に負の光学的パワーを有する光路折り曲げ用のプリズム(PR)のみで構成されているため、更に薄型化が可能となっている。光路折り曲げ用のプリズム(PR)は合成樹脂成型によって作製されることが好ましく、このように作製されることで、複雑な形状のプリズムを低コストに精度良く製造することができる。また、あわせて軽量化も達成できる。このような撮像レンズ装置6を電子機器(例えばデジタルカメラ)に搭載すると、非常に厚み方向に薄い電子機器が実現できる。
【0033】
なお、上記ズームレンズ系の第1レンズ群(Gr1)は、いずれも、光路折り曲げ用のプリズム(PR)のみで構成されているが、プリズム以外のレンズ要素をプリズム(PR)の像面側に備えていてもよい。
【0034】
このような撮像レンズ装置6は、以下に示す条件式を満足することが望ましい。なお、以下に説明する個々の条件をそれぞれ単独に満たせば、それに対応する作用効果を達成することは可能であるが、複数の条件を満たす方が、光学性能,小型化等の観点からより望ましいことはいうまでもない。
【0035】
撮像レンズ装置6は、以下の条件式(1)を満足することが望ましく、なかでも以下の条件式(1A)を満足することが更に望ましい。
−0.23<P1/Pw<−0.05 (1)
−0.20<P1/Pw<−0.10 (1A)
ただし、
P1:第1レンズ群の光学的パワー、
Pw:ズームレンズ系全体の広角端での光学的パワー
である。
【0036】
条件式(1)の下限値を下回ると第1レンズ群の負の光学的パワーが強くなりすぎ広角端において、第1レンズ群で発生する歪曲収差と像面湾曲の補正が過大となる。また、光学的パワーが強くなると、面形状の変化が大きくなり、例えばプリズムを成型により作製した場合など、面精度の確保が困難になる。上限値を上回ると第1レンズ群の負の光学的パワーが小さくなりすぎるため広角端で十分な画角を確保することが困難になる。また、広角端での入射瞳位置が像面側に移動するため、折り曲げ用プリズムの大きさが大きくなる。
【0037】
また撮像レンズ装置6は、以下の条件式(2)を満足することが望ましい。
−0.46<P2/Pw<−0.16 (2)
ただし、
P2:第2レンズ群の光学的パワー、
Pw:ズームレンズ系全体の広角端での光学的パワー
である。
【0038】
条件式(2)の下限値を下回ると、第2レンズ群の光学的パワーが強くなりすぎ広角端での像面湾曲補正が困難になり、また偏心による像面の傾き感度が過大になって組み立て性が困難になり量産性が悪化する。上限値を上回ると、第2レンズ群の移動量が過大となってズームレンズ系の全長が長くなりすぎる。
【0039】
また撮像レンズ装置6は、以下の条件式(3)を満足することが望ましく、なかでも以下の条件式(3A)を満足することが更に望ましい。
0.30<P3/Pw<0.85 (3)
0.45<P3/Pw<0.75 (3A)
ただし、
P3:第3レンズ群の光学的パワー、
Pw:ズームレンズ系全体の広角端での光学的パワー
である。
【0040】
条件式(3)の下限値を下回ると第3レンズ群の光学的パワーが弱くなりすぎ第3レンズ群の移動量が過大となってズームレンズ系の全長が長くなりすぎる。また、第3レンズ群のパワーが弱くなりすぎると、全系の焦点距離を所定の値にするために、第1、第2レンズ群のパワーも弱くなり、入射瞳位置が像面側に移動する。その結果、折り曲げ用プリズムの大きさが大きくなり小型化が困難になる。上限値を上回ると第3レンズ群の光学的パワーが強くなりすぎ球面収差の補正が困難となる。
【0041】
また撮像レンズ装置6は、以下の条件式(4)を満足することが望ましく、なかでも以下の条件式(4A)を満足することが更に望ましい。
0.08<P4/Pw<0.85 (4)
0.08<P4/Pw<0.7 (4A)
ただし、
P4:第4レンズ群の光学的パワー、
Pw:ズームレンズ系全体の広角端での光学的パワー
である。
【0042】
条件式(4)の下限値を下回ると第4レンズ群の光学的パワーが弱くなりすぎ撮像素子(SR)への光線の入射角が大きくなり(ズームレンズ系の射出瞳が像面に近くなりすぎる)、像面周辺部での照度低下が大きくなりすぎる。また、第2、第3レンズ群の変倍時の移動量が大きくなりズームレンズ系(TL)の全長が大きくなる。条件式(4)を上回ると第4レンズ群(Gr4)の光学的パワーが大きくなりすぎ第4レンズ群(Gr4)で発生する歪曲収差の補正が困難になる。また、第4レンズ群(Gr4)で発生する倍率色収差の補正が困難になり、第4レンズ群(Gr4)を1枚構成とすることが難しくなる。
【0043】
また撮像レンズ装置6は、第1レンズ群(Gr1)の最も物体側の面が、物体側に凹の非球面形状を有し、非球面形状は中心から周辺にいくにしたがって負の光学的パワーを弱める方向の形状であることが望ましい。このような形状により広角端において発生する負の歪曲収差を良好に補正することができる。
【0044】
また、撮像レンズ装置6は、第2、第3レンズ群がそれぞれ、少なくとも一つ以上の正レンズと負レンズとを含む構成が望ましい。第2レンズ群(Gr2)は正負各1枚以上のレンズを含むことで色消しが行われ、倍率色収差が良好に補正できる。また、第3レンズ群(Gr3)は正負各1枚以上のレンズを含むことで色消しが行われ、軸上色収差が良好に補正できる。また、倍率色収差、軸上色収差が良好に補正できるため、100万画素以上の撮像素子にも対応した良好な性能が得られる。
【0045】
また、第2レンズ群(Gr2)は正レンズ、負レンズそれぞれ1枚の2枚構成であることが望ましい。この構成により、第2レンズ群(Gr2)で倍率色収差を良好に補正しながら、低コスト、コンパクト化、軽量化が達成できる。
【0046】
また、第2レンズ群(Gr2)の正レンズと負レンズの分散値は以下の条件式を満足することが望ましい。
νd2m −νd2p > 20 (5)
ただし、
νd2m:第2レンズ群中の負レンズの分散値
νd2p:第2レンズ群中の正レンズの分散値
である。
【0047】
条件式(5)の下限値を下回ると、色収差補正のために負レンズと正レンズの光学的パワーを大きくする必要があり、そうすると補正困難な量の像面湾曲収差が発生する。
【0048】
また第3レンズ群(Gr3)は、正レンズ、負レンズそれぞれ1枚の2枚構成であることが望ましい。この構成により、第3レンズ群(Gr3)で軸上色収差を良好に補正しながら、低コスト、コンパクト化、軽量化が達成できる。
【0049】
また第3レンズ群(Gr3)の正レンズと負レンズの分散値は以下の条件式を満足することが望ましい。
νd3p −νd3m > 30 (6)
ただし、
νd3m:第3レンズ群中の負レンズの分散値
νd3p:第3レンズ群中の正レンズの分散値
である。
【0050】
条件式(6)の下限値を下回ると、色収差補正のために負レンズと正レンズの光学的パワーを大きくする必要があり、そうすると補正困難な量の球面収差が発生する。
【0051】
また第4レンズ群(Gr4)は1枚の正レンズで構成されていることが望ましい。第4レンズ群(Gr4)は、物体から撮像素子に入射する光の入射角ができるだけ垂直になるように(つまり、ズームレンズ系がテレセントリック系であるように)光線の角度を変化させるためのレンズである。したがって、第4レンズ群(Gr4)は単レンズであればよく、低コスト、コンパクト化、軽量化が達成できる。
【0052】

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an imaging lens device, and more particularly, to an imaging lens device that optically captures an image of a subject by an optical system and outputs it as an electrical signal by an imaging device {for example, a digital camera; a video camera; , A personal computer, a mobile computer, a mobile phone, a mobile communication terminal, a personal digital assistant (PDA), etc., a main component of a camera built in or external to the camera, particularly an imaging device having a small zoom lens system The present invention relates to a lens device. Further, the present invention relates to an electronic apparatus including such an imaging lens device.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, with the spread of personal computers and the like, digital still cameras, digital video cameras, and the like (hereinafter, referred to as digital cameras) that can easily capture image information into digital devices have become widespread at the individual user level. Such digital cameras are expected to be increasingly used as image information input devices in the future. As a result, a compact imaging lens device equipped with a zoom lens system capable of changing the magnification without deteriorating the image quality has been desired, and a compact imaging lens device has been developed.
[0003]
With the miniaturization of the imaging lens device and the improvement in image processing capability, the imaging lens device has been mounted on electronic devices such as mobile phones and PDAs.
[0004]
In order to further reduce the size of such an imaging lens device, a proposal has been made to bend the zoom lens system in the middle of the optical path and to reduce the size without changing the optical path length. As such examples, there are zoom lens systems described in Patent Documents 1 to 4.
[0005]
In each of the zoom lens systems described in Patent Documents 1 to 3, a negative meniscus lens is arranged closest to the object side, and the optical path is bent by a prism or a reflection mirror arranged on the image plane side of the lens.
[0006]
The zoom lens system described in Patent Literature 4 includes three lens groups, and has an optical path bending prism having a concave surface on the object side disposed closest to the object.
[0007]
[Patent Document 1] JP-A-9-138347
[Patent Document 2] JP-A-11-196303
[Patent Document 3] JP-A-2000-131610
[Patent Document 4] Japanese Patent Application No. 2002-232965
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in each of the zoom lens systems described in Patent Literatures 1 to 3, since the first lens group is composed of a lens and a reflecting member, compactness is not sufficient. Further, in order to reduce the thickness of an electronic device on which the imaging lens device is mounted, it is necessary to reduce the thickness in the direction of the incident optical axis of the imaging lens device. The size of the imaging lens device in the direction of the incident optical axis is substantially determined by the distance between the incident surface and the optical path bending reflecting surface. However, since the zoom lens systems described in Patent Documents 1 to 3 have a lens closest to the object side, sufficient reduction in thickness cannot be achieved.
[0008]
On the other hand, the zoom lens system described in Patent Document 4 satisfies the demand for thinning because the first lens group is composed of only a prism, but is a zoom lens system corresponding to an image sensor having about 300,000 pixels. That is, it is hard to say that it has sufficient performance when a higher definition image (for example, 1,000,000 pixels or more) is required.
[0009]
The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and an object of the present invention is to provide a zoom lens system having a zoom ratio of about three times and to make it sufficiently compact to be mounted on an ultra-compact digital camera or PDA. It is an object of the present invention to provide a high-performance imaging lens device which has been achieved and has a resolving power of one million pixels or more. It is another object of the present invention to provide an electronic device, such as a digital camera or a PDA, provided with such an imaging lens device.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, an imaging lens device according to the present invention includes a zoom lens system including a plurality of groups and performing zooming by changing an interval between the groups, and an optical image formed by the zoom lens system. An image pickup device for converting an electric signal into an electric signal, wherein the zoom lens system includes, in order from the object side, an optical path bending prism having a negative optical power as a whole. A first lens unit having a negative optical power at a fixed position at the magnification, a second lens unit having a negative optical power moving at the time of zooming, and a third lens having a positive optical power moving at the time of zooming; A first lens group having a prism for bending the optical path closest to the object side, and a fourth lens group having a prism closest to the object side. Surface is concave, satisfies the following conditional expression (1).
-0.23 <P1 / Pw <-0.05 (1)
However,
P1: optical power of the first lens group,
Pw: optical power at the wide-angle end of the zoom lens system,
It is.
[0011]
Further, an electronic apparatus according to another aspect of the present invention includes an imaging lens device having the above characteristics.

It is configured as follows in order from the object side.

[0028]
<< Fourth Embodiment (FIGS. 5 and 9; Negative, Negative, Positive and Positive) >> The zoom lens system according to the fourth embodiment is a four-group negative, negative, positive and positive zoom lens. It is configured as follows in order from the object side. The first lens group (Gr1) includes only a prism (PR) including a concave surface having an aspherical surface on the object side, a reflecting surface (REF) for bending the optical axis by approximately 90 °, and a flat surface.

[0029]
In the first embodiment, at the time of zooming from the wide-angle end [W] to the telephoto end [T], the position of the first lens group (Gr1) is fixed, and the second lens group (Gr2) is moved to the image plane side. Then, the lens unit makes a U-turn toward the object side, moves the third lens unit (Gr4) so that it is always located closer to the object side from the image plane side than the position at the wide angle end [W], and the fourth lens unit (Gr4). Gr4) always moves from the object side to the image plane side from the position at the wide angle end [W].
[0030]
In the second, third, and fourth embodiments, at the time of zooming from the wide-angle end [W] to the telephoto end [T], the positions of the first lens group (Gr1) and the fourth lens group (Gr4) are changed. In a fixed state, the second lens group (Gr2) makes a U-turn to the object side after moving to the image plane side, and the third lens group (Gr3) always moves from the image plane side to the position at the wide angle end [W]. Move to be located on the object side.
[0031]
In the zoom lens system (TL) of each embodiment, the first lens group (Gr1) having a negative optical power during zooming is fixed in position, and a change in the overall length of the zoom lens system can be suppressed.
[0032]
In the zoom lens system (TL) of each embodiment, a configuration in which the optical path is bent by approximately 90 ° by a reflecting surface using a prism is adopted, and thereby, the length of the zoom lens system in the direction of the incident optical axis (that is, the depth direction) is increased. Can be shortened. The length of the imaging lens device 6 in the direction of the incident optical axis is substantially determined by the length from the lens surface closest to the object side of the zoom lens system to the reflection surface (REF). In the lens system, the first lens group (Gr1) having negative optical power is constituted by only an optical path bending prism (PR) having negative optical power on the incident surface, so that the thickness is further reduced. Is possible. It is preferable that the prism (PR) for bending the optical path is manufactured by molding a synthetic resin, and thus, a prism having a complicated shape can be manufactured accurately at low cost. In addition, weight reduction can be achieved. When such an imaging lens device 6 is mounted on an electronic device (for example, a digital camera), an electronic device that is very thin in a thickness direction can be realized.
[0033]
Each of the first lens groups (Gr1) of the zoom lens system includes only a prism (PR) for bending the optical path. However, lens elements other than the prism are disposed on the image plane side of the prism (PR). You may have.
[0034]
It is desirable that such an imaging lens device 6 satisfies the following conditional expressions. It is possible to achieve the corresponding effects if the individual conditions described below are satisfied individually, but it is more preferable to satisfy a plurality of conditions from the viewpoint of optical performance, miniaturization, and the like. Needless to say.
[0035]
The imaging lens device 6 preferably satisfies the following conditional expression (1), and more preferably satisfies the following conditional expression (1A).
-0.23 <P1 / Pw <-0.05 (1)
-0.20 <P1 / Pw <-0.10 (1A)
However,
P1: optical power of the first lens group,
Pw: optical power of the entire zoom lens system at the wide-angle end
It is.
[0036]
When the value goes below the lower limit of conditional expression (1), the negative optical power of the first lens group becomes too strong, and at the wide-angle end, distortion and field curvature generated in the first lens group are excessively corrected. In addition, when the optical power increases, the change in the surface shape increases, and it becomes difficult to ensure surface accuracy, for example, when a prism is formed by molding. When the value exceeds the upper limit, the negative optical power of the first lens unit becomes too small, so that it becomes difficult to secure a sufficient angle of view at the wide angle end. Further, since the entrance pupil position at the wide-angle end moves to the image plane side, the size of the folding prism increases.
[0037]
It is desirable that the imaging lens device 6 satisfies the following conditional expression (2).
-0.46 <P2 / Pw <-0.16 (2)
However,
P2: optical power of the second lens group,
Pw: optical power of the entire zoom lens system at the wide-angle end
It is.
[0038]
If the lower limit of conditional expression (2) is not reached, the optical power of the second lens group becomes too strong, making it difficult to correct the curvature of field at the wide-angle end, and the sensitivity of the tilt of the image plane due to eccentricity becomes excessive. The assemblability becomes difficult and the mass productivity deteriorates. If the upper limit is exceeded, the amount of movement of the second lens group becomes excessive, and the overall length of the zoom lens system becomes too long.
[0039]
The imaging lens device 6 preferably satisfies the following conditional expression (3), and more preferably satisfies the following conditional expression (3A).
0.30 <P3 / Pw <0.85 (3)
0.45 <P3 / Pw <0.75 (3A)
However,
P3: optical power of the third lens group,
Pw: optical power of the entire zoom lens system at the wide-angle end
It is.
[0040]
If the lower limit of conditional expression (3) is not reached, the optical power of the third lens group will be too weak, and the amount of movement of the third lens group will be too large, making the overall length of the zoom lens system too long. If the power of the third lens group becomes too weak, the power of the first and second lens groups also becomes weak in order to set the focal length of the entire system to a predetermined value, and the entrance pupil position moves to the image plane side. I do. As a result, the size of the folding prism becomes large, and miniaturization becomes difficult. If the value exceeds the upper limit, the optical power of the third lens group becomes too strong, and it becomes difficult to correct spherical aberration.
[0041]
The imaging lens device 6 preferably satisfies the following conditional expression (4), and more preferably satisfies the following conditional expression (4A).
0.08 <P4 / Pw <0.85 (4)
0.08 <P4 / Pw <0.7 (4A)
However,
P4: optical power of the fourth lens group,
Pw: optical power of the entire zoom lens system at the wide-angle end
It is.
[0042]
When the value goes below the lower limit of conditional expression (4), the optical power of the fourth lens group becomes too weak, and the angle of incidence of light rays on the image sensor (SR) becomes large (the exit pupil of the zoom lens system becomes close to the image plane). Illuminance) at the periphery of the image plane. In addition, the amount of movement of the second and third lens units during zooming increases, and the overall length of the zoom lens system (TL) increases. When conditional expression (4) is exceeded, the optical power of the fourth lens group (Gr4) becomes too large, and it becomes difficult to correct the distortion generated in the fourth lens group (Gr4). Further, it becomes difficult to correct lateral chromatic aberration generated in the fourth lens group (Gr4), and it is difficult to form a single fourth lens group (Gr4).
[0043]
In the imaging lens device 6, the most object side surface of the first lens group (Gr1) has an aspherical shape concave toward the object side, and the aspherical shape has a negative optical power from the center to the periphery. It is desirable that the shape be in a direction in which is weakened. With such a shape, negative distortion generated at the wide-angle end can be corrected well.
[0044]
The imaging lens device 6 preferably has a configuration in which the second and third lens groups each include at least one or more positive lenses and negative lenses. Since the second lens group (Gr2) includes one or more positive and negative lenses, achromatism is performed, and lateral chromatic aberration can be corrected well. Further, the third lens group (Gr3) includes one or more positive and negative lenses, thereby performing achromatism, and can favorably correct axial chromatic aberration. In addition, since the chromatic aberration of magnification and the axial chromatic aberration can be satisfactorily corrected, good performance corresponding to an image sensor having one million pixels or more can be obtained.
[0045]
Further, it is desirable that the second lens group (Gr2) has a two-lens configuration including one positive lens and one negative lens. With this configuration, it is possible to achieve low cost, compactness, and light weight while favorably correcting lateral chromatic aberration with the second lens group (Gr2).
[0046]
Further, it is desirable that the dispersion value of the positive lens and the negative lens of the second lens group (Gr2) satisfy the following conditional expression.
νd2m−νd2p> 20 (5)
However,
νd2m: dispersion value of the negative lens in the second lens group
νd2p: dispersion value of the positive lens in the second lens group
It is.
[0047]
When the value goes below the lower limit of conditional expression (5), it is necessary to increase the optical power of the negative lens and the positive lens for correcting chromatic aberration. In this case, an amount of field curvature that is difficult to correct occurs.
[0048]
Further, it is desirable that the third lens group (Gr3) has a two-lens configuration including one positive lens and one negative lens. With this configuration, it is possible to achieve low cost, compactness, and light weight while favorably correcting axial chromatic aberration with the third lens group (Gr3).
[0049]
It is desirable that the dispersion value of the positive lens and the negative lens of the third lens group (Gr3) satisfy the following conditional expression.
νd3p−νd3m> 30 (6)
However,
νd3m: dispersion value of the negative lens in the third lens group
νd3p: dispersion value of the positive lens in the third lens group
It is.
[0050]
When the value goes below the lower limit of conditional expression (6), it is necessary to increase the optical power of the negative lens and the positive lens for chromatic aberration correction. In this case, an amount of spherical aberration that is difficult to correct occurs.
[0051]
It is desirable that the fourth lens group (Gr4) is composed of one positive lens. The fourth lens group (Gr4) is a lens for changing the angle of a light beam so that the incident angle of light incident on the image sensor from the object is as vertical as possible (that is, the zoom lens system is a telecentric system). It is. Therefore, the fourth lens group (Gr4) may be a single lens, and low cost, compactness, and light weight can be achieved.
[0052]
It is desirable that the fourth lens group (Gr4) be fixed in position during zooming. With this configuration, the number of zoom moving lens groups is reduced, so that the configuration of the zoom cam and the lens barrel is simplified, and cost reduction can be achieved.
[0053]
It is preferable that at least one surface of the second lens group (Gr2) has an aspherical surface. With this configuration, the field curvature aberration and distortion at the wide-angle end can be favorably corrected with a small number of lenses.
[0054]
It is desirable that at least one surface of the third lens group (Gr3) be an aspheric surface. With this configuration, spherical aberration can be favorably corrected with a small number of lenses.
[0055]
It is preferable that at least one surface of the fourth lens group (Gr4) has an aspherical surface. With this configuration, the field curvature aberration and the distortion at the telephoto end can be favorably corrected with a small number of lenses.
[0056]
It is desirable that the stop (SP) be disposed on the object side of the third lens group (Gr3). With this configuration, the exit pupil of the zoom lens system can be located far from the image sensor (SR) (that is, in a substantially telecentric state), and the angle of light incident on the image sensor (SR) can be made closer to vertical. As a result, it is possible to prevent the illuminance at the periphery of the image from decreasing. Further, since the effective diameter of the first lens group (Gr1) can be made sufficiently small, the optical path length required for bending the optical path becomes short, and a thin imaging lens device in the direction of the incident optical axis can be realized.
[0057]
Each of the lens groups constituting the first to fourth embodiments is a refraction type lens that deflects an incident light ray by refraction (that is, a type in which deflection is performed at an interface between media having different refractive indexes). Lens), but is not limited to this. For example, a diffractive lens that deflects incident light by diffraction, a hybrid refraction / diffraction lens that deflects incident light by a combination of diffraction and refraction, and a refractive index distribution type that deflects incident light by a refractive index distribution in a medium. Each lens group may be constituted by a lens or the like. Further, a light flux regulating plate for cutting unnecessary light may be arranged as necessary.
[0058]
Further, in each of the embodiments, the configuration example of the optical flat low pass filter having the shape of a plane parallel plate disposed between the final surface of the zoom lens system and the image pickup device has been described. A birefringent low-pass filter made of crystal or the like whose direction is adjusted, a phase-type low-pass filter that achieves required optical cutoff frequency characteristics by a diffraction effect, and the like can be applied.
[0059]
