Description

本発明は、観察装置に関する。   The present invention relates to an observation apparatus.

従来、電子ビューファインダー(観察装置)においては、液晶画面等の画像表示素子に表示された画像を拡大観察する為に接眼光学系が用いられている。   Conventionally, in an electronic view finder (observation apparatus), an eyepiece optical system is used to magnify and observe an image displayed on an image display element such as a liquid crystal screen.

この接眼光学系には、画像表示面の視認性を高めるために、十分に広い視野角(高い観察倍率)と、十分に長いアイレリーフ(観察側のレンズ面からアイポイントまでの距離)、収差が良好に補正された高い光学性能を有すること等が要望されている。更に観察装置の小型化の要望より、観察装置に用いる画像表示素子は小さな寸法(例えば対角長で10もmm〜20mm)であることが要求されている。   This eyepiece optical system has a sufficiently wide viewing angle (high observation magnification), sufficiently long eye relief (distance from the lens surface on the observation side to the eye point), and aberrations to improve the visibility of the image display surface. Therefore, there is a demand for high optical performance that is well corrected. Furthermore, from the demand for miniaturization of the observation device, it is required that the image display element used for the observation device has a small size (for example, 10 mm to 20 mm in diagonal length).

従来、観察視野角の大きい接眼光学系が種々と提案されている(特許文献1、2)。特許文献1では画像表示面側より観察側に向かって、正の屈折力の第1レンズ、画像表示面側に凹面を向けたメニスカス形状の負の屈折力の第2レンズ、正の屈折力の第3レンズを有した接眼光学系を開示している。   Conventionally, various eyepiece optical systems having a large observation viewing angle have been proposed (Patent Documents 1 and 2). In Patent Document 1, a first lens having a positive refractive power from the image display surface side toward the observation side, a meniscus second lens having a negative refractive power with a concave surface facing the image display surface side, a positive refractive power An eyepiece optical system having a third lens is disclosed.

特許文献1では、第2レンズの焦点距離と、第1レンズと第2レンズの光軸上の間隔、第2レンズと第3レンズの光軸上の間隔、第1レンズの観察側のレンズ面の曲率半径、第2レンズの画像表示面側のレンズ面の曲率半径等を適切に設定している。これにより、視野角(観察視野角)が広く、各レンズの敏感度を軽減した高性能な接眼光学系を提案している。   In Patent Document 1, the focal length of the second lens, the distance on the optical axis of the first lens and the second lens, the distance on the optical axis of the second lens and the third lens, the lens surface on the observation side of the first lens And the radius of curvature of the lens surface on the image display surface side of the second lens are appropriately set. This proposes a high-performance eyepiece optical system with a wide viewing angle (observation viewing angle) and reduced sensitivity of each lens.

また、特許文献2では画像表示面側より観察側へ向かって、正の屈折力の第1レンズ、負の屈折力の第2レンズ、正の屈折力の第3レンズを有した接眼光学系を開示している。特許文献2では、第1レンズの焦点距離、第2レンズの焦点距離、全系の焦点距離を各々適切に設定することで、視野角が大きく像面湾曲、歪曲収差の諸収差を良好に補正した接眼光学系を提案している。   Further, in Patent Document 2, an eyepiece optical system having a first lens having a positive refractive power, a second lens having a negative refractive power, and a third lens having a positive refractive power from the image display surface side to the observation side. Disclosure. In Patent Document 2, by appropriately setting the focal length of the first lens, the focal length of the second lens, and the focal length of the entire system, the viewing angle is large and various aberrations such as field curvature and distortion are corrected well. Proposed an eyepiece optical system.

観察装置に用いられる接眼光学系において、視野角が広く、しかもアイレリーフを長く確保するには、接眼光学系のレンズ構成及び各レンズの屈折力等を適切に設定することが重要になってくる。この他、小型の画像表示面を有する画像表示素子を用いるときは、画像表示面の大きさに対する接眼光学系の屈折力の比等を適切に設定することが重要になってくる。   In an eyepiece optical system used in an observation apparatus, in order to ensure a wide viewing angle and a long eye relief, it is important to appropriately set the lens configuration of the eyepiece optical system and the refractive power of each lens. . In addition, when an image display element having a small image display surface is used, it is important to appropriately set the ratio of the refractive power of the eyepiece optical system to the size of the image display surface.

例えば全系の屈折力が弱くなると、広い視野角を得るのが困難になる。また、各レンズの屈折力配置が適切に配置されていないと、アイレリーフを長くするのが困難になる。また接眼光学系より離れて観察すると、観察視野の周辺で像が陰り易くなる。   For example, when the refractive power of the entire system becomes weak, it becomes difficult to obtain a wide viewing angle. Further, if the refractive power arrangement of each lens is not properly arranged, it is difficult to lengthen the eye relief. Further, when observing away from the eyepiece optical system, the image tends to be shaded around the observation visual field.

本発明は、画像表示面の画像を高い視野角で観察可能で、諸収差を良好に補正し高い光学性能を確保しつつ、長いアイポイントの確保が容易な観察装置の提供を目的としている。   An object of the present invention is to provide an observation apparatus that can observe an image on an image display surface with a high viewing angle, corrects various aberrations satisfactorily and ensures high optical performance, and easily secures a long eye point.

以下、実施例にかかる接眼光学系及びそれを有する観察装置について説明する。本発明の観察装置は、画像を表示する画像表示素子と、画像表示素子の画像表示面に表示される画像を観察する接眼光学系を有する。   Hereinafter, an eyepiece optical system according to an example and an observation apparatus having the same will be described.

各実施例は、デジタルカメラやビデオカメラ等の撮像装置の電子ビューファインダー(観察装置)に用いられる。レンズ断面図において左方は画像表示面側、右方は観察側(射出瞳側)である。レンズ断面図においてL0は接眼光学系である。Liは第iレンズである。IPは液晶又は有機EL等よりなる画像表示素子の画像表示面である。EPは観察のための観察面(アイポイント)(射出瞳)である。CG1はカバーガラスである。   Each embodiment is used in an electronic viewfinder (observation apparatus) of an imaging apparatus such as a digital camera or a video camera. In the lens cross-sectional view, the left side is the image display surface side, and the right side is the observation side (exit pupil side). In the lens sectional view, L0 is an eyepiece optical system. Li is the i-th lens. IP is an image display surface of an image display element made of liquid crystal or organic EL. EP is an observation surface (eye point) (exit pupil) for observation. CG1 is a cover glass.

各収差図のうち球面収差図において、実線のdはd線(波長587.6nm)、点線のFはF線(波長486.1nm)を示す。非点収差図においてS(実線)はd線のサジタル像面、M(破線)はd線のメリディオナル像面を示す。歪曲はd線について示している。倍率色収差はF線について示している。Hは画像表示面の対角線長の半分(最大像高)である。数値は後述する数値データをmm単位で表したときの値である。   Among the aberration diagrams, in the spherical aberration diagram, the solid line d indicates the d-line (wavelength 587.6 nm), and the dotted line F indicates the F-line (wavelength 486.1 nm). In the astigmatism diagram, S (solid line) indicates a sagittal image plane of d-line, and M (broken line) indicates a meridional image plane of d-line. The distortion is shown for the d line. Lateral chromatic aberration is shown for the F-line. H is half of the diagonal length of the image display surface (maximum image height). The numerical value is a value when numerical data described later is expressed in mm.

画像表示素子の画像表示面の対角長が10mm〜25mmの小型の画像表示面(表示パネル)を視野角が30度〜45度で拡大観察するためには、接眼光学系に強い正の屈折力(パワー)が必要である。さらに、アイレリーフを長くするためには、接眼光学系のFナンバーを明るくする必要があり、そのためには、接眼光学系の光線有効範囲を広くする必要がある。   In order to enlarge and observe a small image display surface (display panel) having a diagonal length of 10 mm to 25 mm of the image display element at a viewing angle of 30 degrees to 45 degrees, positive refraction strong to the eyepiece optical system Power is necessary. Furthermore, in order to lengthen the eye relief, it is necessary to brighten the F-number of the eyepiece optical system. For this purpose, it is necessary to widen the effective ray range of the eyepiece optical system.

このようにすると接眼光学系より、球面収差、像面湾曲、非点収差、色収差が多く発生し、これらの諸収差の補正が難しくなる。このときの球面収差、像面湾曲、非点収差、色収差等の残存収差により、画像表示面の全体、特に画像表示面の周辺の観察の際の光学性能が低下してくる。   In this case, spherical aberration, curvature of field, astigmatism, and chromatic aberration occur more frequently than the eyepiece optical system, and it becomes difficult to correct these various aberrations. Due to residual aberrations such as spherical aberration, curvature of field, astigmatism, and chromatic aberration, the optical performance of the entire image display surface, particularly the periphery of the image display surface, is deteriorated.

このときの諸収差を改善するため、各実施例に係る接眼光学系L0では、次の構成を有している。画像表示面(物体面)IPより観察面(アイポイント)EP側に順に配置した、正の屈折力の第1レンズL1と、負の屈折力の第2レンズL2と、正の屈折力の第3レンズL3を有するようにしている。   In order to improve the various aberrations at this time, the eyepiece optical system L0 according to each example has the following configuration. A first lens L1 having a positive refractive power, a second lens L2 having a negative refractive power, and a second lens having a positive refractive power, which are arranged in this order from the image display surface (object surface) IP to the observation surface (eye point) EP side. The three lenses L3 are provided.

尚、各実施例において好ましくは第3レンズの観察面側に正の屈折力の第4レンズを有するように構成しても良い。   In each embodiment, the fourth lens may preferably have a fourth lens having a positive refractive power on the observation surface side of the third lens.

各実施例において、接眼光学系L0は、視度調整機構を有する。各実施例において、第1レンズL1の焦点距離をf1、第3レンズL3の焦点距離をf3、接眼光学系L0の焦点距離をfとする。画像表示面IPの対角線長の半分をHとする。   In each embodiment, the eyepiece optical system L0 has a diopter adjustment mechanism. In each embodiment, the focal length of the first lens L1 is f1, the focal length of the third lens L3 is f3, and the focal length of the eyepiece optical system L0 is f. Let H be the half of the diagonal length of the image display surface IP.

このとき、
0.305<H/f<0.440 ・・・(1)
0.48<f1/f3<1.24 ・・・(2)
なる条件式を満足する。
At this time,
0.305 <H / f <0.440 (1)
0.48 <f1 / f3 <1.24 (2)
The following conditional expression is satisfied.

各実施例に係る接眼光学系は、前述の如く構成することにより、視野角が広く、アイレリーフが長く、かつ球面収差、像面湾曲、非点収差、色収差を始めとする諸収差が十分に補正された高い光学性能を得ている。   The eyepiece optical system according to each of the embodiments is configured as described above, so that wide viewing angles, long eye relief, and various aberrations including spherical aberration, curvature of field, astigmatism, and chromatic aberration are sufficiently obtained. It has high corrected optical performance.

次に前述の各条件式の技術的意味について説明する。条件式(1)は、画像表示面IPの対角線長の半分(物体面の最大高さ)と接眼光学系の焦点距離の関係を規定している。広い視野角(観察視野角)と球面収差、像面湾曲、非点収差等の諸収差を補正するためのものである。   Next, technical meanings of the above-mentioned conditional expressions will be described. Conditional expression (1) defines the relationship between the half of the diagonal length of the image display surface IP (maximum height of the object surface) and the focal length of the eyepiece optical system. It is intended to correct a wide viewing angle (observation viewing angle) and various aberrations such as spherical aberration, field curvature, and astigmatism.

この条件式(1)の上限値を超えると、画像表示面IPの最大高さの光線の光路を確保するために、接眼光学系L0の有効系が大きくなり各レンズのパワーバランスが低下する。かつ、画像表示面IPの最大高さに対する接眼光学系L0の焦点距離が小さくなる。これらの理由から、球面収差、像面湾曲、非点収差等の諸収差の補正効果が不十分となる。この条件式(1)の下限値を越えると、画像表示面IPの最大高さに対して、接眼光学系L0の焦点距離が大きくなりすぎ、視野角を広くすることが困難になる。   When the upper limit value of the conditional expression (1) is exceeded, the effective system of the eyepiece optical system L0 is increased to secure the optical path of the light beam having the maximum height on the image display surface IP, and the power balance of each lens is lowered. In addition, the focal length of the eyepiece optical system L0 with respect to the maximum height of the image display surface IP is reduced. For these reasons, the effect of correcting various aberrations such as spherical aberration, field curvature, and astigmatism is insufficient. If the lower limit of conditional expression (1) is exceeded, the focal length of the eyepiece optical system L0 becomes too large with respect to the maximum height of the image display surface IP, and it becomes difficult to widen the viewing angle.

条件式(2)は、第1レンズL1と第3レンズL3の焦点距離の比を規定する。条件式(2)は主に球面収差、像面湾曲、非点収差等の諸収差を良好に補正しつつ、広い視野角と長いアイレリーフを得るためのものである。   Conditional expression (2) defines the ratio of the focal lengths of the first lens L1 and the third lens L3. Conditional expression (2) is mainly for obtaining a wide viewing angle and a long eye relief while satisfactorily correcting various aberrations such as spherical aberration, field curvature, and astigmatism.

この条件式(2)の上限値を超えて、第1レンズL1の正のパワー(屈折力)が弱くなると、球面収差、像面湾曲、非点収差等の諸収差の補正が不十分となる。この条件式(2)の下限を越えて、第1レンズL1のパワーが強くなりすぎると、広い観察視野を確保しつつアイレリーフを長くすることが難しい。更に好ましくは条件式(1)、(2)の数値範囲を次の如く設定するのが良い。   If the upper limit of conditional expression (2) is exceeded and the positive power (refractive power) of the first lens L1 becomes weak, correction of various aberrations such as spherical aberration, field curvature, and astigmatism becomes insufficient. . If the lower limit of the conditional expression (2) is exceeded and the power of the first lens L1 becomes too strong, it is difficult to lengthen the eye relief while ensuring a wide observation field. More preferably, the numerical ranges of conditional expressions (1) and (2) are set as follows.

0.306<H/f<0.435 ・・・(1a)
0.49<f1/f3<1.22 ・・・(2a)
0.306 <H / f <0.435 (1a)
0.49 <f1 / f3 <1.22 (2a)

第2レンズL2の画像表示面側のレンズ面の近軸曲率半径をr21(mm)、第2レンズL2の観察側のレンズ面の近軸曲率半径をr22(mm)とする。第1レンズL1の観察側のレンズ面の近軸曲率半径 をr12(mm)、第1レンズL1と第2レンズL2の間隔をd12(mm)とする。このとき、次の条件式のうち1つ以上を満足するのが良い。   The paraxial curvature radius of the lens surface on the image display surface side of the second lens L2 is r21 (mm), and the paraxial curvature radius of the lens surface on the observation side of the second lens L2 is r22 (mm). The paraxial radius of curvature of the observation side lens surface of the first lens L1 is r12 (mm), and the distance between the first lens L1 and the second lens L2 is d12 (mm). At this time, one or more of the following conditional expressions should be satisfied.

−40.0<(r21+r22)/(r21−r22)<−0.9 ・・・(3)
0.00(1/mm)<(1/r12−1/r21+d12/(r12×r21×3))<0.12(1/mm)
・・・(4)
後述する数値データにおいてはr2がr12、r3がr21、r4がr22に相当する。
−40.0 <(r21 + r22) / (r21−r22) <− 0.9 (3)
0.00 (1 / mm) <(1 / r12-1 / r21 + d12 / (r12 × r21 × 3)) <0.12 (1 / mm)
... (4)
In numerical data to be described later, r2 corresponds to r12, r3 corresponds to r21, and r4 corresponds to r22.

次に前述の各条件式の技術的意味について説明する。   Next, technical meanings of the above-mentioned conditional expressions will be described.

条件式(3)は、第2レンズL2のレンズ形状を規定する。条件式(3)は、広い視野角と長いアイレリーフを確保しつつ、諸収差を良好に補正するためのものである。   Conditional expression (3) defines the lens shape of the second lens L2. Condition (3) is for correcting various aberrations well while securing a wide viewing angle and a long eye relief.

この条件式(3)の上限値を超えると、第2レンズL2のパワーバランスが低下し、アイレリーフが短くなる。この条件式(3)の下限値を超えると、第2レンズL2の観察側のレンズ面の曲率形状が急になり、球面収差、像面湾曲、非点収差等の諸収差の補正が困難となる。   If the upper limit value of the conditional expression (3) is exceeded, the power balance of the second lens L2 is lowered and the eye relief is shortened. If the lower limit value of the conditional expression (3) is exceeded, the curvature shape of the lens surface on the observation side of the second lens L2 becomes steep and it is difficult to correct various aberrations such as spherical aberration, curvature of field, astigmatism and the like. Become.

条件式(4)は、第1レンズL1と第2レンズL2の間で形状される空気レンズの負のパワーを規定している。条件式(4)は主に像面湾曲、非点収差、歪曲収差の諸収差を良好に補正しつつ、長いアイレリーフを確保するためのものである。   Conditional expression (4) defines the negative power of the air lens formed between the first lens L1 and the second lens L2. Conditional expression (4) is mainly for ensuring a long eye relief while satisfactorily correcting various aberrations such as field curvature, astigmatism, and distortion.

この条件式(4)の上限を超えると、空気レンズの負のパワーが強くなり過ぎる(負の屈折力の絶対値が大きくなりすぎる)ため、球面収差、像面湾曲、非点収差等の諸収差の補正が不十分となる。この条件式(4)の下限を越えると、空気レンズの負の屈折力が弱くなり(負の屈折力の絶対値が小さくなり)、空気レンズで光線が集光されるため、アイレリーフがみじかくなる。   If the upper limit of this conditional expression (4) is exceeded, the negative power of the air lens becomes too strong (the absolute value of the negative refractive power becomes too large), so various aberrations such as spherical aberration, field curvature, astigmatism, etc. Aberration correction is insufficient. When the lower limit of conditional expression (4) is exceeded, the negative refractive power of the air lens becomes weak (the absolute value of the negative refractive power becomes small), and light rays are collected by the air lens, so the eye relief is severe. Become.

更に好ましくは条件式(3)、(4)の数値範囲を次の如く設定するのが良い。   More preferably, the numerical ranges of conditional expressions (3) and (4) should be set as follows.

−35.0<(r21+r22)/(r21−r22)<−1.0 ・・・(3a)
0.005<(1/r12−1/r21+d12/(r12×r21×3))
<0.100
・・・(4a)
-35.0 <(r21 + r22) / (r21-r22) <-1.0 (3a)
0.005 <(1 / r12-1 / r21 + d12 / (r12 × r21 × 3))
<0.100
