Description

FIELD OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of camera lens.

DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART

The present invention relates to a camera lens composed of one piece, with excellent optical properties, small sized, with a total angle of view (hereinafter referred to as 2ω) and a wide angle over 90°, composed of one lens with a high-luminous flux (hereinafter referred to as Fno) F less than 2.40, and applied for biological feature certification such as vein certification or eye tracking identification within the wavelength range of 750 nm˜900 nm.

The traditionally used wide angled, small sized camera lens with high-luminous flux Fno is composed of the two pieces disclosed by prior Japanese Patent Publication No. 2006-337402. The lens is composed of providing a first lens with a negative refractive power, a second lens with a positive refractive power, with a view angle of 2ω=90˜110° wide angle, and relatively small distortion aberration. It's absolutely enough to be used as identification lens, but not economic in cost with 2 lens used.

Although the camera lens disclosed by the prior Japanese Patent Publication No. 2006-079059 is of low cost by using plastic lens and being composed of one piece, as an identification camera, it's imperfect to has narrow camera range as being narrow angled with a view angle of 40°˜50

The camera lens disclosed by the prior Japanese Patent Publication No. 2011-081253 is a camera lens composed of the above-mentioned 1 lens, but it's dark at a value of F in the range of 2.8˜3.2, so it's imperfect as an identification lens.

Therefore, an improved camera lens which can overcome the disadvantages mentioned above is desired.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS

The present disclosure will hereinafter be described in detail with reference to exemplary embodiments. To make the technical problems to be solved, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present disclosure more apparent, the present disclosure is described in further detail together with the figure and the embodiments. It should be understood the specific embodiments described hereby are only to explain the disclosure, not intended to limit the disclosure.

FIG. 1 is the structure diagram of a camera lens LA related to one embodiment of the invention. The camera lens is composed of 1 lens group, with an open aperture, a falcate first lens L1 having a positive refractive power with a convex surface toward an imaging surface side provided in order from the object side to the imaging surface side. A glass plate GF is arranged between the first lens L1 and the imaging surface side. It is better not to set the glass plate GF1 and GF2 between the first lens and imaging surface side.

The first lens L1 has positive refractive power. Moreover, the surface of this one lens should be designed as the aspheric shape preferably in order to correct the aberration well. Particularly by using the aspheric shape, the spherical aberration and the coma aberration can be corrected properly.

A camera lens composed of one lens is characterized in that the camera lens meets following conditions (1)˜(4):

1.70≤(R1+R2)/(R1−R2)≤1.90   (1)

0.30≤D1/f≤0.45   (2)

0.90≤Y/f≤1.00   (3)

1.50≤(Y/f)×2ω≤1.70   (4)

where,

• R1: curvature radius of the lens' object side surface
• R2: curvature radius of the lens' image side surface
• d1: center thickness of the first lens L1
• f: overall focal distance of the camera lens
• Y: Max image height
• 2ω: total angle of view.

The shape of the first lens L1 is specified in the condition (1). When the upper limit value of the condition is exceeded, the refractive power of all lenses is increased, thus not allowing proper aberration correction of the image surface curvature, coma aberration and distortion aberration, so it's not good. Conversely, when the lower limit value of the condition is exceeded, the refractive power of all the lens is decreased, thus not allowing secured view angle and proper correction of the image surface curvature, coma aberration and distortion aberration, so it's not good.

Therefore, numerical range of condition (1) should be set within the numerical range of the following condition (1-A) preferably,

1.72≤(R1+R2)/(R1−R2)≤1.85   (1-A)

The condition (2) aims to secure the limit of back focal point while seeking miniaturization. Therefore, numerical range of condition (2) should be set within the numerical range of the following condition (2-A) preferably,

0.32≤D1/f≤0.42   (2-A)

The condition (3) is specified to secure a view angle over 90°. For example, in case of 0.90>Y/f outside the scope of the condition (3), it's difficult to develop toward miniaturization and wide angle. Besides, in case of Y/f>1.00 outside the scope of the condition (3), it's beneficial for wide angle, but it turns more difficult for correction of distortion aberration, while it turns difficult for correction of all aberrations, so it's disadvantageous.

Therefore, numerical range of condition (3) should be set within the numerical range of the following condition (3-A) preferably,

0.92≤Y/f≤0.97   (3-A)

The condition (4) is specified to secure a view angle over 90°, just as same as the condition (3). Therefore, numerical range of condition (4) should be set within the numerical range of the following condition (4-A) preferably, furthermore, by establish the condition (3) and (4) simultaneously, all aberrations can be corrected while wide angle can be ensured.

1.50≤(Y/f)×2ω≤1.60   (4-A)

A camera lens composed of one lens is characterized in that the camera lens meets following condition (5):

0.50≤f/TL≤0.60   (⁵)

where,

• f: overall focal distance of the camera lens
• TL: axial distance from object side surface to the imaging surface side of the first lens L1

The condition (5) specifies the ratio between the focal distance f of the entire lens group and the axial distance from the image side to the camera lens of the first lens L1. In case of that outside the scope of the condition (5), it's difficult to develop toward miniaturization and wide angle.

Therefore, numerical range of condition (5) should be set within the numerical range of the following condition (5-A) preferably,

0.50≤f/TL≤0.575   (5-A)

A camera lens composed of one lens is characterized in that the first lens has positive refractive power and the camera lens meets following conditions (6), (7):

1.35≤BF/f≤1.45   (6)

1.53≤nd1≤1.60   (7)

where,

• f: overall focal distance of the camera lens
• BF: axial distance from image side surface to the imaging surface side of the lens
• nd1: refractive power the first lens L1's line d

The condition (6) specifies the ratio between the back focal point BF and the focal distance f of the entire lens group. In case of that outside the condition (6), it's difficult to ensure the space provided for protective glass for protection of camera surface.

Therefore, numerical range of condition (6) shall be set within the numerical range of the following condition (6-A) preferably,

1.38≤BF/f≤1.45   (6-A)

The refractive power of the first lens L1 is specified in the condition (7). When it's below the lower limit value of the condition, the refractive power of all the lens will be decreased and the optical length is increased, so it's disadvantageous. On another side, when it's over the upper limit value of the condition, it turns to be difficult for correction of the distortion aberration, so it's disadvantageous.

As the one lens composing the camera lens LA has the aforementioned constitution and meets all the condition, so it becomes possible to manufacture a camera lens with excellent optical properties, small sized, with a wide angle of 2ω≤90° and applied for biological feature certification such as vein certification or eye tracking identification within the wavelength range of 750 nm˜900 nm.
