Description

The present invention relates to a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) and a CMOS sensor (Complementary
The present invention relates to a zoom lens device having an image pickup device for converting an optical image formed on a light receiving surface such as a metal-oxide semiconductor (complementary metal oxide semiconductor sensor) into an electric signal, and in particular, a small zoom lens having a zoom lens system. Equipment related.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a digital camera that converts an optical image into an electric signal by using an imaging device such as a CCD or a CMOS sensor instead of a silver halide film, digitizes the data, and records or transfers the digital image has become popular. In such digital cameras, CCD and CMOS sensors having high pixels such as 2 million pixels and 3 million pixels have recently been provided at relatively low cost.
The demand for a high-performance zoom lens device equipped with a high-pixel image sensor has been greatly increased. Among these zoom lens devices, in particular, a compact zoom lens device equipped with a zoom lens system capable of zooming without deteriorating image quality has been desired.

In recent years, with the improvement of image processing capability of semiconductor devices and the like, personal computers, mobile computers, mobile phones, and personal digital assistants (PDAs) have been developed.
ce) and the like, a zoom lens device is built in or externally attached, which has spurred demand for a high-performance zoom lens device.

As a zoom lens system used in such a zoom lens device, a number of so-called minus-lead zoom lens systems have been proposed in which the group arranged closest to the object side has negative power. The minus lead zoom lens system has features such as easy widening of the angle and easy securing of a lens back necessary for insertion of an optical low-pass filter.

As a minus lead zoom lens system, there is a zoom lens system conventionally proposed as a photographing lens system of a camera for a silver halide film. However, in these zoom lens systems, in particular, the exit pupil position of the lens system in the shortest focal length state is relatively close to the image plane,
In particular, there is a problem that the pupil of the microlens provided corresponding to each pixel of the image sensor having a high number of pixels does not match, and a sufficient amount of peripheral light cannot be secured. In addition, since the exit pupil position fluctuates greatly at the time of zooming, there is also a problem that it is difficult to set the pupil of the micro lens. Also,
In the first place, the required optical performance such as spatial frequency characteristics is completely different between the silver halide film and the imaging device, and thus sufficient optical performance required for the imaging device cannot be secured. Therefore, there is a need to develop a dedicated zoom lens system optimized for a zoom lens device having an image sensor.

As a minus lead zoom lens system for a zoom lens device having an imaging device, for example, US Pat. No. 5,745,301 discloses a two-component zoom composed of a first group of negative power and a second group of positive power. A lens system is disclosed.

However, the above-mentioned U.S. Patent No. 5,745,301, JP-A-1-191820 or JP-A-1-21631

By moving the positive lens group or the single lens element on the optical axis, focusing adjustment by changing the object distance is performed.

Another aspect of the present invention is a digital camera including the zoom lens device. In the past, the term digital camera used to refer exclusively to those that record optical still images, but those that can simultaneously handle moving pictures and digital video cameras for home use have also been proposed, and at present there is no particular distinction between them. It is getting better. Therefore, the term digital camera used in this specification refers to a digital still camera, a digital movie camera, a web camera (

The lens unit includes a group Gr2 and a third group Gr3 including a negative meniscus fifth lens L5 having a convex surface facing the object side and a positive meniscus sixth lens L6 having a convex surface facing the object side.

Gr3 is fixed with respect to the image plane. In focusing from an infinity in-focus condition to a finite object in-focus condition, the fourth lens L4 alone is moved to the object side.

The zoom lens system according to each of the embodiments has a first group which is disposed closest to the object side and includes only one negative lens element. Normally, in a zoom lens in which the first group has negative power, the lens diameter of the first group in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis is the largest in order to secure the F-number. Here, if the first group is composed of a plurality of lens elements, the effective diameter of the lens elements of the first group will be large in order to secure light rays incident on the zoom lens system. Therefore, in order to reduce the outer diameter, it is desirable to configure the sheet with a minimum number of one sheet. Further, when a lens element having a large lens diameter has a curvature, the on-axis air gap between the lens elements increases accordingly. That is, the first
The number of lenses in the group is an important factor in increasing the overall length of the zoom lens system. In the zoom lens system according to each of the embodiments, since the negative lens group is constituted by one of the minimum number of components, the total length of the zoom lens system is reduced, and the thickness of the zoom lens system in a retracted state (hereinafter referred to as collapsed state). Can be reduced.

It is desirable that the first unit moves while drawing a locus convex toward the image side during zooming, as in the zoom lens systems of the embodiments. By moving in this way, it is possible to satisfactorily correct the field curvature in the intermediate focal length state.

In the zoom lens systems according to the embodiments, the diaphragm is arranged on the object side or image side of the second group, and in the second group. If the stop is located on the image side of this position, the outer diameter of the first lens unit becomes too large, so that a compact zoom lens system cannot be achieved.

Further, the zoom lens system according to each of the embodiments moves the positive lens group or the single lens element, which is disposed at a position closer to the image side than the stop and not included in the group closest to the image side, on the optical axis. The focus is on. By making the focus group a positive lens group or a single lens element located on the image side of the stop and not included in the group closest to the image side, the weight is small and the movement amount during focusing is small. Since a small lens group or a single lens element can be focused, it is effective in reducing the load on the lens barrel configuration and the drive motor.

The zoom lens system according to each of the embodiments includes a second lens unit including independent positive lens elements and negative lens elements and having a positive power as a whole. In the negative lead type zoom lens system, the negative power of the second group contributes most to zooming. Therefore, the aberrations generated in the second lens unit, particularly the axial chromatic aberration, fluctuate greatly with zooming. To correct this, if at least the independent positive lens element and negative lens element are each included in the second group, axial chromatic aberration cannot be balanced in the entire zoom range.

  Each zoom lens system satisfies the following conditional expressions.

Fnt ≤ 6.0 (1)
2.3 ≤ ft / fw ≤ 5.5 (2)
However,
Fnt: The minimum F-number of the zoom lens system at the longest focal length,
fw: focal length of the zoom lens system in the shortest focal length state,
ft: focal length of the zoom lens system in the longest focal length state,
It is.

Conditional expression (1) defines the minimum F-number in the longest focal length state of the zoom lens system. Minimum
If the f-number increases beyond 6.0, the image quality cannot be maintained enough to compete with silver halide film cameras. In particular, when the F-number exceeds 6.0, it becomes difficult to acquire moving images.

Conditional expression (2) defines the zoom ratio of the zoom lens system. Since the zoom lens system aimed at by the present invention is a small-sized zoom lens system having a central target of 3 to 4 times, this conditional expression (2) is defined. If the zoom ratio is smaller than the lower limit of the conditional expression (2), the significance of the optical zoom decreases, and the user benefit cannot be achieved. On the other hand, when the zoom ratio is larger than the upper limit of the conditional expression (2), the total length particularly in the longest focal length state becomes too large, and it is difficult to achieve the miniaturization of the zoom lens device. It is more desirable that the zoom ratio be a zoom lens system satisfying the following range.

3.1 ≤ ft / fw (2) '
Further, the zoom lens systems according to the embodiments satisfy the following conditional expression (3).

0.1 <T23w / fw <1.5 (3)
However,
T23w: axial top surface distance between the second group (most image side) and the group adjacent to the image side (most object side) in the shortest focal length state,
fw: focal length of the zoom lens system in the shortest focal length state,
It is.

Conditional expression (3) defines the axial distance between the second group of the zoom lens system and the group adjacent to the image side. If the lower limit of conditional expression (3) is exceeded, interference such as contact between the second and third lens elements in the shortest focal length state increases, and the lens barrel configuration becomes difficult and undesirable. . On the other hand, when the value exceeds the upper limit of the conditional expression (3), the total length in the optical axis direction in the shortest focal length state becomes long, and a compact zoom lens cannot be achieved. If the upper limit is exceeded, the distance between the first lens unit and the image plane increases due to the arrangement of power, so that the overall length in the optical axis direction increases, and the first lens unit is configured to ensure illuminance on the image plane. The lens diameter of the lens element becomes large, so that a compact zoom lens system cannot be achieved.

  Further, the zoom lens systems according to the embodiments satisfy the following conditional expression (4).

0.6 <Tsum / fw <2.6 (4)
However,
Tsum: Sum of the thicknesses of all the lens elements included in the zoom lens system,
fw: focal length of the zoom lens system in the shortest focal length state,
It is.

Conditional expression (4) defines the sum of the core thicknesses of all the lens elements included in the zoom lens system. The size in the optical axis direction of the zoom lens system when retracted is the largest factor that roughly determines the size in the thickness direction of a digital camera or a portable information device. The size in the optical axis direction at the time of collapsing cannot be physically smaller than the sum of the thicknesses of the lens elements. Therefore, if Tsum cannot be reduced, a compact zoom lens system cannot be achieved when retracted. Conditional expression (4) is exactly a conditional expression that defines the thickness when retracted. If the lower limit of the conditional expression is exceeded, it becomes difficult to physically configure the optical system. On the other hand, when the value exceeds the upper limit, the thickness of the lens becomes too large, which exceeds the limit allowed in digital cameras and portable information devices. It is to be noted that conditional expression (4) is more effective when it is set in the following range.

Tsum / fw <2.2 (4) '
Tsum / fw <2.0 (4) ''
It is preferable that the conditional expressions (3) and (4) be satisfied at the same time, so that the zoom lens system can be more effectively formed while achieving the respective effects.

  Further, the zoom lens systems of the respective embodiments satisfy the following conditional expression (5).

ν1> 45 (5)
However,
ν1 is the Abbe number of one negative lens element constituting the first group.

Conditional expression (5) defines the Abbe number of the negative lens element forming the first unit. In a zoom lens system, a certain degree of aberration correction is usually performed for each group in order to minimize fluctuations in aberrations that occur during zooming. However, since the first group is constituted by a single negative lens element, it becomes extremely difficult to correct aberrations in the lens groups, particularly to correct axial chromatic aberration. Therefore, in the zoom lens according to the embodiment, it is necessary to balance the aberration by canceling the axial chromatic aberration generated in the first group by the other group. However, when the negative lens element of the first group is formed of a material having an Abbe number exceeding the lower limit of the conditional expression (5), it is preferable that the fluctuation of the axial chromatic aberration exceeds the allowable range that can be corrected by the other groups. Absent.

It is more preferable that the conditional expression (5) satisfies the ranges of the conditional expression (5) ′ and the conditional expression (5) ″.

ν1> 60 (5)
ν1> 80 (5) ''
Further, the negative lens element constituting the first group is desirably formed by using a material having an abnormally low dispersion so that further correction of chromatic aberration can be achieved. Further, since the negative lens element constituting the first group is desirably provided with an aspherical shape for the purpose of distortion correction or the like, it is preferable that the negative lens element be a resin lens element that satisfies the conditional expression (5) that facilitates formation of the aspherical surface. Is also good.

Further, in the zoom lens system of each embodiment, it is desirable that the group closest to the image side has a positive power as a whole including a positive lens element and a negative lens element. With such a configuration, there is an effect that a fluctuation due to zooming of the axial chromatic aberration generated by one negative lens element of the first group can be favorably corrected. In addition, it is also effective in correcting off-axis coma, particularly in the shortest focal length state. Further, by fixing the group closest to the image side with respect to the image plane, it is possible to more properly correct axial chromatic aberration caused by zooming, and to simplify the lens barrel configuration.

Each of the lens groups constituting the first to fifth embodiments described above includes only a refraction lens that deflects an incident light beam by refraction, but is not limited thereto. For example, each lens group may be composed of a diffractive lens that deflects an incident light beam by diffraction, a hybrid refraction / diffraction lens that deflects an incident light beam by a combination of a diffraction action and a refraction action, or the like.

Further, a reflecting member that bends the incident optical axis may be added by appropriately adjusting the air gap existing in each lens group or between the lens groups. Bending the incident optical axis is preferable because the degree of freedom of arrangement of the optical system can be improved and the thickness of the optical device in the direction of the incident optical axis can be reduced.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the zoom lens embodying the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to construction data, aberration diagrams, and the like. In addition, Examples 1 to 5 listed below are the first to fifth examples described above.
