Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

This application relates to the field of electronic device technologies, and in particular, to a beam splitter plate, a beam splitter apparatus, a beam splitter lens module, a camera, and an electronic device.

BACKGROUND

Low-illumination cameras are widely applied to military, security protection, public safety, and other fields because they can still capture clear images under low-illumination conditions.

Currently, most low-illumination cameras need to use an infrared lamp to supplement light in a low-illumination scenario such that scene brightness can be improved. However, after the infrared lamp is used to supplement light, light collected by the camera includes visible light and near-infrared light. Wavelengths of the visible light and the near-infrared light differ greatly. If the two are mixed together, a captured image is subjected to a severe color cast. To enable the low-illumination camera to output a color image with realistic colors, a beam splitter structure may be added to a transmission path of an imaging beam of the low-illumination camera, to split an imaging beam formed by focusing by an imaging lens module into visible light and near-infrared light such that the visible light and the near-infrared light can be separately processed and then fused. In this way, the low-illumination camera can output a color image with realistic colors. However, in the low-illumination camera, the addition of the beam splitter structure inevitably introduces a chromatic aberration and an off-axis aberration. To ensure quality of the color image output by the low-illumination camera, a parameter of another optical structure (such as the imaging lens module) in an imaging beam path needs to be changed to balance the chromatic aberration and the off-axis aberration, so as to minimize an overall chromatic aberration and off-axis aberration caused by structures in the imaging beam path of the camera. Moreover, a larger chromatic aberration and off-axis aberration introduced by the beam splitter structure indicate greater difficulty in adjusting the parameter of the other optical structure, and greater difficulty in correcting the chromatic aberration and the off-axis aberration of the camera.

SUMMARY

Embodiments of this application provide a beam splitter plate, a beam splitter apparatus, a beam splitter lens module, a camera, and an electronic device to reduce a chromatic aberration and an off-axis aberration introduced by a beam splitter structure, and reduce difficulty in correcting a chromatic aberration and an off-axis aberration of a camera.

To achieve the foregoing objective, the following technical solutions are used in the embodiments of this application.

According to a first aspect, some embodiments of this application provide a beam splitter plate, disposed obliquely in an imaging beam path of a camera. The beam splitter plate includes a transmissive plate and a beam splitter film. The transmissive plate is a light-transmitting plate-like structure. The beam splitter film is supported on the transmissive plate and is parallel to the transmissive plate. The beam splitter film is configured to reflect visible light and transmit near-infrared light, or the beam splitter film is configured to reflect near-infrared light and transmit visible light. A thickness of the transmissive plate satisfies that when the beam splitter plate is disposed obliquely in a transmission path of an imaging beam of the camera, transmission path lengths of visible light and near-infrared light in the imaging beam in the transmissive plate are both less than a projection length of the beam splitter film on an optical axis of the imaging beam.

In the beam splitter plate provided in this embodiment of this application, because the beam splitter film is configured to reflect visible light and transmit near-infrared light, or the beam splitter film is configured to reflect near-infrared light and transmit visible light, visible light and near-infrared light in the imaging beam path can be separated by using the beam splitter film. Moreover, the beam splitter film is supported on the transmissive plate and is parallel to the transmissive plate, and the thickness of the transmissive plate satisfies that when the beam splitter plate is disposed obliquely in the transmission path of the imaging beam of the camera, the transmission path lengths of the visible light and the near-infrared light in the imaging beam in the transmissive plate are both less than the projection length of the beam splitter film on the optical axis of the imaging beam. Assuming that an inclination angle of the beam splitter plate is θ, and a width of the beam splitter film along an inclination direction of the beam splitter plate is L, the projection length of the beam splitter film on the optical axis of the imaging beam is L×cos θ. When the beam splitter film is disposed at the same inclination angle in the transmission path of the imaging beam and supported by two right angle prisms, transmission path lengths of the visible light and the near-infrared light in the imaging beam in the two right angle prisms are L₀₁ and L₀₂, respectively, L₀₁=L₀₂, and L₀₁ and L₀₂ are both equal to L×cos θ. It can be learned from above that the transmission path lengths of the visible light and the near-infrared light in the imaging beam are both less than L₀₁ or L₀₂. When a material used for the beam splitter plate is the same as a material of the two right angle prisms, the visible light and the near-infrared light in the imaging beam have relatively short optical paths when transmitted in the transmissive plate, which causes a relatively small chromatic aberration and off-axis aberration, and helps reduce difficulty in correcting a chromatic aberration and an off-axis aberration of the camera.

Optionally, the thickness of the transmissive plate is less than 0.5 millimeter (mm). In this way, the thickness of the transmissive plate is relatively small, and when the beam splitter plate is disposed obliquely in the transmission path of the imaging beam of the camera, the transmission path lengths of the visible light and the near-infrared light in the imaging beam in the transmissive plate are relatively small, which causes a relatively small chromatic aberration and off-axis aberration, and reduces difficulty in correcting a chromatic aberration and an off-axis aberration of the camera.

Optionally, the transmissive plate has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, and the beam splitter film is attached to the first surface or the second surface. The structure is simple and is easy to implement.

Optionally, when the beam splitter film is attached to the first surface, and the beam splitter film is configured to reflect near-infrared light and transmit visible light, the beam splitter plate further includes a first antireflective film. The first antireflective film is attached to the second surface, and the first antireflective film is configured to increase a transmittance of visible light emergent out of the transmissive plate from the second surface. When the beam splitter film is attached to the first surface, and the beam splitter film is configured to reflect visible light and transmit near-infrared light, the beam splitter plate further includes a second antireflective film. The second antireflective film is attached to the second surface, and the second antireflective film is configured to increase a transmittance of near-infrared light emergent out of the transmissive plate from the second surface. In this way, the transmittance, at the second surface, of the visible light or the near-infrared light transmitted by the beam splitter film is increased by using the first antireflective film or the second antireflective film, and an optical path loss is reduced.

Optionally, when the beam splitter film is attached to the second surface, the beam splitter plate further includes a third antireflective film. The third antireflective film is attached to the first surface, and the third antireflective film is configured to increase transmittances of visible light and near-infrared light that are incident into the transmissive plate from the first surface. In this way, the transmittances of the visible light and the near-infrared light that are incident into the beam splitter plate are increased by using the third antireflective film, and an optical path loss is reduced.

Optionally, the transmissive plate includes a first transmissive plate and a second transmissive plate. The first transmissive plate has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other. The second transmissive plate has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other. The beam splitter film is sandwiched between the second surface of the first transmissive plate and the first surface of the second transmissive plate. The structure is simple and easy to implement, and can perform waterproof and dustproof protection on the beam splitter film.

Optionally, the beam splitter plate further includes a fourth antireflective film. The fourth antireflective film is attached to the first surface of the first transmissive plate, and the fourth antireflective film is configured to increase transmittances of visible light and near-infrared light that are incident into the first transmissive plate from the first surface of the first transmissive plate. In this way, the transmittances of the visible light and the near-infrared light that are incident into the beam splitter plate are increased by using the fourth antireflective film, and an optical path loss is reduced.

Optionally, when the beam splitter film reflects near-infrared light and transmits visible light, the beam splitter plate further includes a fifth antireflective film. The fifth antireflective film is attached to the second surface of the second transmissive plate, and the fifth antireflective film is configured to increase a transmittance of visible light emergent out of the second transmissive plate from the second surface of the second transmissive plate. When the beam splitter film reflects visible light and transmits near-infrared light, the beam splitter plate further includes a sixth antireflective film. The sixth antireflective film is attached to the second surface of the second transmissive plate, and the sixth antireflective film is configured to increase a transmittance of near-infrared light emergent out of the second transmissive plate from the second surface of the second transmissive plate. In this way, the transmittance when the visible light or the near-infrared light transmitted by the beam splitter film is emergent out of the beam splitter plate is increased by using the fifth antireflective film or the sixth antireflective film, and an optical path loss is reduced.

According to a second aspect, some embodiments of this application provide a beam splitter apparatus. The beam splitter apparatus includes a housing, a connecting structure, and a beam splitter plate. The housing is provided with a light inlet. The connecting structure is disposed on a housing edge at the light inlet, and the connecting structure is configured to connect to an image side end of a lens barrel of an imaging lens module such that the light inlet is opposite to an image side surface of an imaging lens group of the imaging lens module.

Optionally, the beam splitter apparatus further includes a visible light filter, the visible light filter is disposed between the beam splitter plate and the near-infrared light sensor, and the visible light filter is configured to filter out visible light in the near-infrared light reflected or transmitted by the beam splitter plate.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

The terms “first” and “second” in the embodiments of this application are merely intended for a purpose of description, and shall not be understood as an indication or implication of relative importance or implicit indication of a quantity of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature limited by “first” or “second” may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features.

FIG. 1 is a diagram of an imaging beam path of a camera according to some embodiments of this application. The camera is a low-illumination camera, and the camera can output a color image. As shown in FIG. 1, an imaging lens module 01 focuses and forms an imaging beam a. The imaging beam a is incident into a beam splitter structure 02, and is split into visible light b and near-infrared light c by the beam splitter structure 02. The visible light b is incident into a visible light sensor 03, and the visible light sensor 03 converts the visible light b into a visible light signal. The near-infrared light c is incident into a near-infrared light sensor 04, and the near-infrared light sensor 04 converts the near-infrared light c into a luminance signal. Both the visible light sensor 03 and the near-infrared light sensor 04 are connected to an image fusion module 05, and the image fusion module 05 separately processes the visible light signal and the luminance signal, and fuses a processed visible light signal and a processed luminance signal.

It can be learned from FIG. 1 that the beam splitter structure 02 is located in a transmission path of the imaging beam of the camera. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a structure of the beam splitter structure 02 according to some embodiments of this application. As shown in FIG. 2, the beam splitter structure 02 includes a beam splitter film 023, and a first right angle prism 021 and a second right angle prism 022 that are configured to support the beam splitter film 023. The first right angle prism 021 has a first right angle surface 0211, a second right angle surface 0212, and a first inclined surface 0213. The second right angle prism 022 has a third right angle surface 0221, a fourth right angle surface 0222, and a second inclined surface 0223. The first inclined surface 0213 and the second inclined surface 0223 are disposed in parallel and opposite to each other, and the beam splitter film 023 is sandwiched between the first inclined surface 0213 and the second inclined surface 0223. The imaging beam a focused by the imaging lens module is incident into the beam splitter structure 02 from the first right angle surface 0211 along a direction perpendicular to the first right angle surface 0211. After the visible light b and the near-infrared light c in the imaging beam a are separated by the beam splitter film 023, the visible light b is emergent out of the beam splitter structure 02 from the third right angle surface 0221 along a direction perpendicular to the third right angle surface 0221, and the near-infrared light c is emergent out of the beam splitter structure 02 from the second right angle surface 0212.

When an inclination angle θ of the beam splitter film 023 is equal to 45°, as shown in FIG. 2, the separated near-infrared light c is emergent out of the beam splitter structure 02 from the second right angle surface 0212 along a direction perpendicular to the second right angle surface 0212. A transmission path length l₀₂ of the separated near-infrared light c in the first right angle prism 021 is equal to a transmission path length l₀₁ of the separated visible light b in the second right angle prism 022.

When the inclination angle θ of the beam splitter film 023 is greater than 45°, as shown in FIG. 3, a part that is of the first right angle prism 021 and that is adjacent to the second right angle surface 0212 is cut off, and the part cut off is a part enclosed by a dashed line shown in FIG. 3. In this way, the separated near-infrared light c can be emergent out of the beam splitter structure 02 from a surface 0214 formed after the cutting and along a direction perpendicular to the surface 0214, and a transmission path length l₀₂ of the separated near-infrared light c in the first right angle prism 021 is equal to a transmission path length l₀₁ of the separated visible light b in the second right angle prism 022.

When the inclination angle θ of the beam splitter film 023 is less than 45°, as shown in FIG. 4, a region that is on the first right angle prism 021 and that is adjacent to the second right angle surface 0212 is supplemented with a part of a prism, and the supplementary part is a part enclosed by a dashed line shown in FIG. 4. In this way, the separated near-infrared light c can be emergent out of the beam splitter structure 02 from a surface 0215 formed after the supplementation and along a direction perpendicular to the surface 0215, and a transmission path length l₀₂ of the separated near-infrared light c in the first right angle prism 021 is equal to a transmission path length l₀₁ of the separated visible light b in the second right angle prism 022.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3, or FIG. 4, a transmission path length of the visible light in the imaging beam a in the beam splitter structure 02 is L₀₁=l₀₃+l₀₁=D=L×cos θ. A transmission path length of the near-infrared light in the imaging beam a in the beam splitter structure 02 is L₀₂=l₀₃+l₀₂=l₀₃+l₀₁=D=L×cos θ. It can be learned from above that L₀₁=L₀₂, and both L₀₁ and L₀₂ are equal to a projection length of the beam splitter film 023 on an optical axis of the imaging beam a. l₀₃ is a transmission path length of the imaging beam a in the first right angle prism 021 before the imaging beam a is incident into the beam splitter film 023. D is a thickness of the beam splitter structure 02 along the optical axis direction of the imaging beam. To ensure that the first right angle prism 021 and the second right angle prism 022 can be obtained by processing, a dimension of D is usually in centimeters. L is a width of the beam splitter film 023 in an inclination direction of itself. L×cos θ represents the projection length of the beam splitter film 023 on the optical axis of the imaging beam a. An optical path of the visible light in the imaging beam a in the beam splitter structure 02 is D₀₁=n₀×L₀₁. An optical path of the near-infrared light in the imaging beam a in the beam splitter structure 02 is D₀₂=n₀×L₀₂. A material of the first right angle prism 021 is the same as a material of the second right angle prism 022, and n₀ is a refractive index of the material of the first right angle prism 021 or the second right angle prism 022. The visible light and the near-infrared light in the imaging beam a have relatively long optical paths when transmitted in the beam splitter structure 02, which causes a relatively large chromatic aberration and off-axis aberration, and make it relatively difficult to correct a chromatic aberration and an off-axis aberration of the camera.

To resolve the foregoing problem, this application provides an electronic device. The electronic device includes but is not limited to a mobile phone terminal, an in-vehicle terminal, and a smart wearable device, the electronic device includes a camera, and the camera is a low-illumination camera that can output a color image.

This application provides a camera. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a structure of a camera according to some embodiments of this application. As shown in FIG. 5, the camera includes a beam splitter lens module 1. The beam splitter lens module 1 is configured to focus to form an imaging beam, and split the imaging beam into visible light and near-infrared light.

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a structure of the beam splitter lens module 1 according to some embodiments of this application. As shown in FIG. 6, the beam splitter lens module 1 includes an imaging lens module 11 and a beam splitter apparatus 12. The imaging lens module 11 is configured to focus to form an imaging beam. The imaging lens module 11 may be a common C/CS lens module with a relatively long back focal length, or may be a fixed-focus or zoom lens module. This is not specifically limited herein. The beam splitter apparatus 12 is configured to split the imaging beam formed by focusing by the imaging lens module 11 into visible light and near-infrared light.

FIG. 7 is a cutaway drawing of the imaging lens module of the beam splitter lens module shown in FIG. 6. As shown in FIG. 7, the imaging lens module 11 includes a lens barrel 111 and an imaging lens group 112 disposed in the lens barrel 111. The lens barrel 111 is configured to fix the imaging lens group 112. A material of the lens barrel 111 includes but is not limited to metal and plastic. The lens barrel 111 has an image side end A, and the image side end A is an end that is of the lens barrel 111 and that is close to an image side. The imaging lens group 112 includes at least one lens, the imaging lens group 112 is configured to focus to form an imaging beam, the imaging lens group 112 has an image side surface B, and the image side surface B is a surface that is of the imaging lens group 112 and that faces the image side.

FIG. 8 is a cutaway drawing of the beam splitter apparatus of the beam splitter lens module shown in FIG. 6. As shown in FIG. 8, the beam splitter apparatus 12 includes a housing 121, a connecting structure 122, and a beam splitter plate 10. A material of the housing 121 includes but is not limited to metal and plastic, and the housing 121 is provided with a light inlet C. The connecting structure 122 is disposed on a housing edge at the light inlet C, and the connecting structure 122 includes but is not limited to a screw thread and a buckle. The beam splitter plate 10 is disposed obliquely in the housing 121, and the beam splitter plate 10 can separate visible light from near-infrared light in an imaging beam incident from the light inlet C.

An embodiment of this application provides a beam splitter plate 10. The beam splitter plate 10 includes a transmissive plate and a beam splitter film. The transmissive plate is a light-transmitting plate-like structure. The beam splitter film is supported on the transmissive plate and is parallel to the transmissive plate. The beam splitter film is configured to reflect visible light and transmit near-infrared light, or the beam splitter film is configured to reflect near-infrared light and transmit visible light. A thickness d of the transmissive plate satisfies that when the beam splitter plate is disposed obliquely in a transmission path of the imaging beam of the camera, transmission path lengths of visible light and near-infrared light in the imaging beam in the transmissive plate are both less than a projection length of the beam splitter film on an optical axis of the imaging beam.

In the beam splitter plate provided in this embodiment of this application, because the beam splitter film is configured to reflect visible light and transmit near-infrared light, or the beam splitter film is configured to reflect near-infrared light and transmit visible light, visible light and near-infrared light in an imaging beam path can be separated by using the beam splitter film. Moreover, the beam splitter film is supported on the transmissive plate and is parallel to the transmissive plate, and the thickness d of the transmissive plate satisfies that when the beam splitter plate is disposed obliquely in the transmission path of the imaging beam of the camera, the transmission path lengths of the visible light and the near-infrared light in the imaging beam in the transmissive plate are both less than the projection length of the beam splitter film on the optical axis of the imaging beam. Assuming that an inclination angle of the beam splitter plate is θ, and a width of the beam splitter film along an inclination direction of the beam splitter plate is L, the projection length of the beam splitter film on the optical axis of the imaging beam a is L×cos θ. When the beam splitter film is disposed at the same inclination angle in the transmission path of the imaging beam a and supported by two right angle prisms, as shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3, or FIG. 4, transmission path lengths of the visible light and the near-infrared light in the imaging beam in the two right angle prisms are L₀₁ and L₀₂, L₀₁=L₀₂, and L₀₁ and L₀₂ are both equal to L×cos θ. It can be learned from above that the transmission path lengths of the visible light and the near-infrared light in the imaging beam are both less than L₀₁ or L₀₂. When a material used for the beam splitter plate is the same as the material of the first right angle prism 021 or the second right angle prism 022 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3, or FIG. 4, the visible light and the near-infrared light in the imaging beam have relatively short optical paths when transmitted in the transmissive plate, which causes a relatively small chromatic aberration and off-axis aberration, and helps reduce difficulty in correcting a chromatic aberration and an off-axis aberration of the camera.

It should be noted that, in the description of this embodiment of this application, because a thickness of the beam splitter film is very small, the thickness of the beam splitter film is ignored.

Specifically, FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram of a structure of a beam splitter plate 10 according to some embodiments of this application. As shown in FIG. 9, the beam splitter plate 10 includes a transmissive plate 101 and a beam splitter film 102. A material of the transmissive plate 101 includes but is not limited to optical glass. The transmissive plate 101 has a first surface 1011 and a second surface 1012 opposite to each other, and the first surface 1011 and the second surface 1012 are perpendicular to a thickness direction of the transmissive plate 101. The beam splitter film 102 is disposed on the first surface 1011. The structure is simple and is easy to implement.

When the beam splitter plate 10 described in the foregoing embodiment is mounted in the imaging beam path, and the imaging beam a is incident from a surface that is on the beam splitter film 102 and that is in a direction away from the transmissive plate 101 (that is, a light receiving surface R of the beam splitter plate 10), as shown in FIG. 9, the imaging beam a is incident into the beam splitter plate 10 from the light receiving surface R. The beam splitter film 102 reflects one (for example, near-infrared light c) of the near-infrared light and the visible light in the imaging beam, and transmits the other (for example, visible light b) of the near-infrared light and the visible light. The near-infrared light c does not pass through the transmissive plate 101, and a transmission path length of the near-infrared light c in the beam splitter plate 10 is L₂=0. The visible light b passes through the beam splitter plate 10, and a transmission path length of the visible light b in the beam splitter plate 10 is L₁=d/cos β. According to a light refraction law, n=sin δ/sin β. δ=90°−θ can be learned from FIG. 9. L₁=d×n/sin θ can be deduced from that. n is a refractive index of the material of the transmissive plate 101. Because the thickness d of the transmissive plate 101 satisfies that the transmission path lengths of the visible light and the near-infrared light in the imaging beam a are both less than the projection length of the beam splitter film 102 on the optical axis of the imaging beam a, and the projection length of the beam splitter film 102 on the optical axis of the imaging beam a is L×cos θ, L₁=d×n/sin θ<L×cos θ, and L₂=0<L×cos θ, from which d<L sin θ cos θ/n can be deduced. Therefore, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 9, the thickness d of the transmissive plate 101 satisfies that the transmission path lengths of the visible light and the near-infrared light in the imaging beam a are both less than the projection length of the beam splitter film 102 on the optical axis of the imaging beam a, that is, the thickness d of the transmissive plate 101 satisfies d<L sin θ cos θ/n.

When the beam splitter film 102 is configured to reflect near-infrared light and transmit visible light, to increase a transmittance of the visible light at the second surface 1012 of the transmissive plate 101, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 10, the beam splitter plate 10 further includes a first antireflective film 103. The first antireflective film 103 is attached to the second surface 1012. The first antireflective film 103 is configured to increase a transmittance of visible light emergent out of the transmissive plate 101 from the second surface 1012, and the transmitted visible light passes through the first antireflective film 103.

When the beam splitter film 102 is configured to reflect visible light and transmit near-infrared light, to increase a transmittance of the near-infrared light at the second surface 1012 of the transmissive plate 101, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 11, the beam splitter plate 10 further includes a second antireflective film 104. The second antireflective film 104 is attached to the second surface 1012. The second antireflective film 104 is configured to increase a transmittance of near-infrared light emergent out of the transmissive plate 101 from the second surface 1012, and the transmitted near-infrared light passes through the second antireflective film 104.

FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram of a structure of a beam splitter plate 10 according to some other embodiments of this application. As shown in FIG. 12, the beam splitter plate 10 includes a transmissive plate 101 and a beam splitter film 102. A material of the transmissive plate 101 includes but is not limited to optical glass. The transmissive plate 101 has a first surface 1011 and a second surface 1012 opposite to each other, and the first surface 1011 and the second surface 1012 are perpendicular to a thickness direction of the transmissive plate 101. The beam splitter film 102 is attached to the second surface 1012. The structure is simple and is easy to implement.

When the beam splitter plate 10 described in the foregoing embodiment is mounted in the imaging beam path, and the imaging beam a is incident from the first surface 1011 (that is, a light receiving surface R of the beam splitter plate 10), as shown in FIG. 12, the imaging beam a is incident into the beam splitter plate 10 from the light receiving surface R. The beam splitter film 102 reflects one (for example, near-infrared light c) of the near-infrared light and the visible light in the imaging beam, and transmits the other (for example, visible light b) of the near-infrared light and the visible light. The near-infrared light c passes through the transmissive plate 101 twice, and a transmission path length of the near-infrared light c in the beam splitter plate 10 is L₂=2×d/cos β. The visible light b passes through the beam splitter plate 10 once, and a transmission path length of the visible light b in the beam splitter plate 10 is L₁=d/cos β. According to a light refraction law, n=sin δ/sin β. δ=90°−θ can be learned from FIG. 9. L₁=d×n/sin θ and L₂=2×d×n/sin θ can be deduced from that. n is a refractive index of the material of the transmissive plate 101. Because the thickness d of the transmissive plate 101 satisfies that the transmission path lengths of the visible light and the near-infrared light in the imaging beam a are both less than the projection length of the beam splitter film 102 on the optical axis of the imaging beam a, and the projection length of the beam splitter film 102 on the optical axis of the imaging beam a is L×cos θ, L₁=d×n/sin θ<L×cos θ, and L₂=2×d×n/sin θ<L×cos θ, from which d<L sin θ cos θ/2n can be deduced. Therefore, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 12, the thickness d of the transmissive plate 101 satisfies that the transmission path lengths of the visible light and the near-infrared light in the imaging beam a are both less than the projection length of the beam splitter film 102 on the optical axis of the imaging beam a, that is, the thickness d of the transmissive plate 101 satisfies d<L sin θ cos θ/2n.

To increase transmittances of visible light and near-infrared light at the first surface 1011 of the transmissive plate 101, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 13, the beam splitter plate 10 further includes a third antireflective film 105. The third antireflective film 105 is attached to the first surface 1011. The third antireflective film 105 is configured to increase transmittances of visible light and near-infrared light that are incident into the transmissive plate 101 from the first surface 1011, and the visible light and the near-infrared light in the imaging beam pass through the third antireflective film 105.

FIG. 14 is a schematic diagram of a structure of a beam splitter plate 10 according to some other embodiments of this application. As shown in FIG. 14, the beam splitter plate 10 includes a first transmissive plate 101a, a second transmissive plate 101b, and a beam splitter film 102. Materials of the first transmissive plate 101a and the second transmissive plate 101b include but are not limited to optical glass. The first transmissive plate 101a has a first surface 1011a and a second surface 1012a opposite to each other, and the first surface 1011a and the second surface 1012a are perpendicular to a thickness direction of the first transmissive plate 101a. The second transmissive plate 101b has a first surface 1011b and a second surface 1012b opposite to each other, and the first surface 1011b and the second surface 1012b are perpendicular to a thickness direction of the second transmissive plate 101b. The beam splitter film 102 is sandwiched between the second surface 1012a and the first surface 1011b. The beam splitter film 102 is configured to reflect visible light and transmit near-infrared light, or the beam splitter film 102 is configured to reflect near-infrared light and transmit visible light. The structure is simple and easy to implement, and can perform waterproof and dustproof protection on the beam splitter film.

When the beam splitter plate 10 described in the foregoing embodiment is mounted in the imaging beam path, and the imaging beam a is incident from the first surface 1011a (that is, a light receiving surface R of the beam splitter plate 10), as shown in FIG. 14, the imaging beam a is incident into the beam splitter plate 10 from the light receiving surface R. The beam splitter film 102 reflects one (for example, near-infrared light c) of the near-infrared light and the visible light in the imaging beam, and transmits the other (for example, visible light b) of the near-infrared light and the visible light. The near-infrared light c passes through the first transmissive plate 101a twice, and a transmission path length of the near-infrared light c in the beam splitter plate 10 is L₂=2×d₁/cos β. The visible light b passes through the first transmissive plate 101a and the second transmissive plate 101b, and a transmission path length of the visible light b in the beam splitter plate 10 is L₁=(d₁+d₂)/cos β=d/cos β. According to a light refraction law, n=sin δ/sin β. δ=90°−θ can be learned from FIG. 9. L₁=d×n/sin θ and L₂=2×d₁×n/sin θ can be deduced from that. n is a refractive index of the material of the transmissive plate 101. d₁ is a thickness of the first transmissive plate 101a. d₂ is a thickness of the second transmissive plate 101b. Because the thickness d of the transmissive plate 101 satisfies that the transmission path lengths of the visible light and the near-infrared light in the imaging beam a are both less than the projection length of the beam splitter film 102 on the optical axis of the imaging beam a, and the projection length of the beam splitter film 102 on the optical axis of the imaging beam a is L×cos θ, L₁=d×n/sin θ <L×cos θ, and L₂=2×d₁×n/sin θ<L×cos θ, from which d<L sin θ cos θ/n and d₁≤d₂ can be deduced. Therefore, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 14, the thickness d of the transmissive plate 101 satisfies that the transmission path lengths of the visible light and the near-infrared light in the imaging beam a are both less than the projection length of the beam splitter film 102 on the optical axis of the imaging beam a, that is, the thickness d of the transmissive plate 101 satisfies d<L sin θ cos θ/n and d₁≤d₂.

To increase transmittances of visible light and near-infrared light at the first surface 1011a of the first transmissive plate 101a, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 15, the beam splitter plate 10 further includes a fourth antireflective film 106. The fourth antireflective film 106 is attached to the first surface 1011a of the first transmissive plate 101a. The fourth antireflective film 106 is configured to increase transmittances of visible light and near-infrared light that are incident into the first transmissive plate 101a from the first surface 1011a of the first transmissive plate 101a, and the visible light and the near-infrared light in the imaging beam pass through the fourth antireflective film 106.

When the beam splitter film 102 is configured to reflect near-infrared light and transmit visible light, to increase a transmittance of the visible light at the second surface 1012b of the second transmissive plate 101b, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 16, the beam splitter plate 10 further includes a fifth antireflective film 107. The fifth antireflective film 107 is attached to the second surface 1012b of the second transmissive plate 101b. The fifth antireflective film 107 is configured to increase a transmittance of visible light emergent out of the second transmissive plate 101b from the second surface 1012b of the second transmissive plate 101b, and the transmitted visible light passes through the fifth antireflective film 107.

When the beam splitter film 102 is configured to reflect visible light and transmit near-infrared light, to increase a transmittance of the near-infrared light at the second surface 1012b of the second transmissive plate 101b, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 17, the beam splitter plate 10 further includes a sixth antireflective film 108. The sixth antireflective film 108 is attached to the second surface 1012b of the second transmissive plate 101b. The sixth antireflective film 108 is configured to increase a transmittance of near-infrared light emergent out of the second transmissive plate 101b from the second surface 1012b of the second transmissive plate 101b, and the transmitted near-infrared light passes through the sixth antireflective film 108.

In some embodiments, the thickness d of the transmissive plate 101 is less than 0.5 mm. In this way, the thickness of the transmissive plate 101 is relatively small, and when the beam splitter plate 10 is disposed obliquely in the transmission path of the imaging beam of the camera, the transmission path lengths of the visible light b and the near-infrared light c in the imaging beam a in the transmissive plate 101 are relatively small, which causes a relatively small chromatic aberration and off-axis aberration, and reduces difficulty in correcting a chromatic aberration and an off-axis aberration of the camera.

In some embodiments, the inclination angle θ of the beam splitter plate 10 is 40° to 60°. When the inclination angle of the beam splitter plate 10 is within this range, visible light and near-infrared light can be separated.
