Description

The present invention relates to a wide-angle image pickup lens system and an image pickup apparatus.

In recent years, a lens compatible with a wide field of view has been required as an image pickup lens system for automobile mounting applications. As an image pickup lens system for automobile mounting applications, for example, there is an image pickup lens system used for an in-vehicle camera for confirming front, back, and sides for ensuring safety when driving a car.

The image pickup lens system of the in-vehicle camera is required to have an extremely wide field of view, a high resolution, and a bright image pickup lens system having an F value of about 2.0. In addition, compactness is also required for an image pickup lens system for an in-vehicle camera.

Patent Document 1 describes, in order from the object side, a first lens having a negative power, a second lens having a negative power, a third lens having a positive power, an aperture, a fourth lens having a positive power, and a negative lens. An image pickup lens system composed of a fifth lens having the power of the above is described.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2014-89241

The image pickup lens system described in Patent Document 1 has a wide angle, is bright, and has high imaging performance. However, in an image pickup lens system used for an in-vehicle camera, it is desired to make the outer diameter of the lens arranged on the most object side smaller in order to make it as inconspicuous as possible when mounted on a vehicle. At the same time, as the number of pixels of the image sensor used increases, higher resolution is required for the image pickup lens system of the in-vehicle camera. In order to achieve high resolution, it is necessary to satisfactorily correct the curvature of field in the region from the center to the periphery of the image sensor.

The present invention provides an image pickup device including a wide-angle image pickup lens and a wide-angle photographing lens which have a smaller outer diameter of the lens arranged on the object side, suppress the curvature of field, and have high resolution from the center to the peripheral portion. The purpose is to do.

The wide-angle image pickup lens system of the present invention is
From the object side,
The negative first lens with the concave facing the image side,
A meniscus-shaped second lens with a concave on the object side,
A positive third lens with a biconvex shape near the optical axis,
Aperture and
The 4th lens, which is a negative lens,
The fifth lens, which is a positive lens,
It is composed of a sixth lens having an aspherical surface on at least one surface.

In the wide-angle imaging lens system of the present invention, the effective diameter of the first lens can be reduced by forming the second lens in a concave shape on the object side. Further, by forming the second lens into a meniscus shape with the concave surface facing the object side, the curvature of field can be corrected, so that good imaging performance can be obtained. This makes it possible to provide a wide-angle image pickup lens system in which the outer diameter of the lens arranged closest to the object side is made smaller, the curvature of field is further suppressed, and the resolution is high from the center to the peripheral portion.

The wide-angle image pickup lens system of the present invention preferably satisfies the following conditional expression (1) when the focal length of the first lens is f1 and the focal length of the third lens is f3.
0.8 <| f1 / f3 | <1.2 ... (1)

According to this configuration, by satisfying the conditional expression (1), while ensuring a long back focus, coma aberration and curvature of field are suppressed, and the total length of the lens system is not lengthened. If the upper limit of the conditional expression (1) is exceeded, the positive power of the third lens becomes larger than the negative power of the first lens, so that the image plane collapses and it becomes difficult to lengthen the back focus. If it falls below the lower limit of the conditional expression (1), the negative power of the first lens becomes larger than the positive power of the third lens, so that it becomes easy to secure the back focus, but the overall length of the image pickup lens system becomes longer. As the length increases, it becomes difficult to correct the aberration generated by the increase in the power of the first lens.

Further, the wide-angle image pickup lens system of the present invention preferably satisfies the following conditional expression (2).
0.9 <| f1 / f3 | <1.1 ... (2)

The wide-angle image pickup lens system of the present invention preferably satisfies the following conditional expression (3) when the focal length of the entire system is f and the focal length of the second lens is f2.
0 <f / f2 <0.2 (3)

The conditional expression (3) is a conditional expression for performing image plane correction. If the lower limit of the conditional expression (3) is exceeded with the concave surface facing the object side, the negative power of the second lens becomes large, so that distortion increases and it becomes difficult to control the angle of view. If the upper limit of the conditional expression (3) is exceeded, the positive power of the second lens becomes large, so that the image plane tilt increases and the imaging performance deteriorates. Therefore, according to this configuration, by satisfying the conditional expression (3), it is possible to prevent an increase in distortion and perform image plane correction.

Further, the wide-angle image pickup lens system of the present invention preferably satisfies the following conditional expression (4).
0.05 <f / f2 <0.15 ... (4)

The wide-angle image pickup lens system of the present invention preferably satisfies the following conditional expression (5) when the focal length of the fourth lens is f4 and the focal length of the fifth lens is f5.
-1.8 <f4 / f5 <-1.0 ... (5)

The conditional expression (5) is a conditional expression for correcting chromatic aberration. If it is less than the lower limit of the conditional expression (5), the negative power of the fourth lens becomes smaller than the positive power of the fifth lens, so that the chromatic aberration correction is insufficient and the imaging performance deteriorates. If the upper limit of the conditional expression (5) is exceeded, the negative power of the fourth lens becomes larger than the positive power of the fifth lens, so that the chromatic aberration correction becomes excessive and the imaging performance deteriorates. Therefore, according to this configuration, by satisfying the conditional expression (5), appropriate chromatic aberration correction can be performed and deterioration of imaging performance can be prevented.

Further, the wide-angle image pickup lens system of the present invention preferably satisfies the following conditional expression (6).
-1.6 <f4 / f5 <-1.2 ... (6)

The wide-angle image pickup lens system of the present invention preferably satisfies the following conditional expression (7) when the focal length of the entire system is f and the focal length of the first lens is f1.
1.8 << | f1 / f | <2.1 ... (7)

The conditional expression (7) defines the total length of the image pickup lens system. If it falls below the lower limit of the conditional expression (7), the negative power of the first lens becomes larger than the power of the entire lens system, which causes an increase in the overall length of the image pickup lens system. If the upper limit of the conditional expression (7) is exceeded, the negative power of the first lens becomes smaller than the power of the entire lens system, so that it is difficult to secure a predetermined back focus. Therefore, according to this configuration, by satisfying the conditional expression (7), it is possible to secure a predetermined back focus while preventing an increase in the overall length of the image pickup lens system.

Further, the wide-angle image pickup lens system of the present invention preferably satisfies the following conditional expression (8).
1.9 << | f1 / f | <2.0 ... (8)

The wide-angle imaging lens system of the present invention satisfies the following conditional expression (9) when the radius of curvature of the image side surface of the first lens is R2 and the radius of curvature of the object side surface of the second lens is R3. preferable.
-1.2 <R2 / R3 <-0.4 ... (9)

The conditional expression (9) defines coma aberration, curvature of field, and distortion. If it falls below the lower limit of the conditional expression (9), the image plane collapses, and it becomes difficult to correct the curvature of field. If the upper limit of the conditional expression (9) is exceeded, distortion will increase, and it will be difficult to control the angle of view. Therefore, according to this configuration, by satisfying the conditional expression (9), it is possible to correct the curvature of field and prevent the increase in distortion.

Further, the wide-angle image pickup lens system of the present invention preferably satisfies the following conditional expression (10).
-1.0 <R2 / R3 <-0.6 ... (10)

In the wide-angle imaging lens system of the present invention, the focal length of the first lens is f1, the combined focal length of the second lens and the third lens is f23, and the first lens, the second lens, and the third lens When the Abbe numbers are νd1, νd2, and νd3, respectively, it is preferable to satisfy the following conditional equations (11) and (12).
-1.1 <f1 / f23 <-0.9 ... (11)
35 <(νd1 + νd2 + νd3) / 3 <60 ... (12)

By satisfying the conditional expression (11), the wide-angle image pickup lens system of the present invention can secure the back focus while keeping the overall length of the image pickup lens system short, and can correct chromatic aberration well. If the upper limit of the conditional expression (11) is exceeded, it is advantageous to secure the back focus, but it becomes difficult to correct the chromatic aberration and the total length of the image pickup lens system becomes long. If it is less than the lower limit of the conditional expression (11), the chromatic aberration correction becomes excessive and it becomes difficult to secure the back focus. Further, by satisfying the conditional expressions (11) and (12) at the same time, good chromatic aberration correction becomes possible.

The wide-angle image pickup lens system of the present invention preferably satisfies the following conditional expression (13) when the focal length of the entire system is f and the combined focal length of the second lens and the third lens is f23.
1.3 <f23 / f <1.65 ... (13)

By satisfying the conditional expression (13), the wide-angle image pickup lens system of the present invention can secure a long back focus and enable good chromatic aberration correction. If it is less than the lower limit of the conditional expression (13), it is effective in reducing the axial chromatic aberration and the chromatic aberration of magnification, but it becomes difficult to secure the back focus. If the upper limit of the conditional expression (13) is exceeded, the back focus tends to be lengthened, but it becomes difficult to satisfactorily correct the chromatic aberration.

Further, the wide-angle image pickup lens system of the present invention preferably satisfies the following conditional expression (14).
