The present disclosure relates to a camera lens for a portable electronic device.
In recent years, with the flourishing development of the miniaturized camera lens, the demand of micro imaging module is increasing gradually, however, the photosensitive components of the general camera lens includes the charge coupled component or complementary metal oxidized conductor component, with the fine development of the semiconductor manufacturing process, the pixel size of the photosensitive component is further miniaturized, plus, the existing electronic products tend to have the optimum functions, and become thin, short and small, therefore, the miniaturized camera lens with good imaging quality becomes the mainstream in current market.
The existing four-piece camera lens, in an order from object side to image side, is configured with a first lens with the positive refractive power, a second lens with the negative refractive power, a third lens with the positive refractive power, a fourth lens with the negative refractive power, because the refractive power distribution and shape of the first lens, the second lens, the third lens and the fourth lens of the existing four-piece camera lens are not sufficient, so its sensibility is not high to further correct the chromatic aberration, which causes that it has the ordinary optical performance. Meanwhile, most of the existing four-piece camera lenses are assembled together with certain difficulty in shortening the optical length.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide an improved camera lens to overcome above disadvantage.
Many aspects of the embodiment can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the present disclosure. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
The present invention will hereinafter be described in detail with reference to an exemplary embodiment. 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 figures and the embodiment. It should be understood the specific embodiment described hereby is only to explain this disclosure, not intended to limit this disclosure.
Referring to
In this embodiment, all the above four lenses are plastic lens, whose specific structures as follows:
The first lens L1 is a positive lens, with a positive refractive power, whose object side surface 112 is convex, and image side surface 114 is convex, and the object side surface 112 and the image side surface 114 are aspheric surfaces, and there is an inflection point set on the object side surface 112 of the first lens L1; there is an inflection point and an arrest point set in the image side surface 114;
The second lens L2 is a negative lens, with a negative refractive power, whose object side surface 122 is concave, and image side surface 124 is convex, and the object side surface 122 and image side surface 124 are aspheric surfaces, and there is an inflection point and an arrest point set on the image side surface 122 of the second lens L2;
The third lens L3 is a positive lens, with a positive refractive power, whose object side surface 132 is convex, and image side surface 134 is concave, and the object side surface 132 and image side surface 134 are aspheric surfaces, and the object side surface 132 of the third lens L3 is set with two inflection points and one arrest point, and the image side surface 134 is set with one inflection point and one arrest point;
The fourth lens L4 is a negative lens whose negative refractive power, and object side surface 142 is convex, and image side surface 144 is concave, and the object side surface 142 and the image side surface 144 is an aspheric surface, and the object side surface 142 of the fourth lens L4 is set with three inflection points and one arrest point, whose image side surface 144 is set with an inflection point and an arrest point;
The aperture stop 170 is located between the first lens L1 and the second lens L2, which is used for controlling the light entrance volume and controlling the depth of focal length. The glass plate GF can use the glass cover piece or filter lens, and the filter lens can filter the light ray, whose types can be chosen according to actual need. It is also fine if the glass plate GF is not set between the fourth lens L4 and the image surface 190.
In the embodiment, the camera lens satisfies the following conditions:
0.5<f1/f<1.1 (1);
−2<f2/f<−0.5 (2);
0.65<f3/f<1.1 (3);
−2.5<f4/f<−1.8 (4);
where,
f: Total focal length of the camera lens;
f1: Focal length of the first lens;
f2: Focal length of the second lens;
f3: Focal length of the third lens;
F4: Focal length of the fourth lens.
The conditions (1)-(4) stipulate focal lengths of the first lens L1, the second lens L2 and the third lens L3 and the fourth lens L4. It is hard to make the camera lens more miniaturized and clearer beyond conditions (1)-(4).
Meanwhile, in order to let the camera lens LA have the advantages including shorter optical length, lower sensitivity, higher sensibility, less pixel chromatic aberration and lower cost, it is better to design parameters of the first lens L1, the second lens L2, the third lens L3 and the fourth lens L4 in the following scope:
[Focal Length]
In the whole structure of the camera lens LA, the focal length of the first lens L1, the second lens L2, the third lens L3 and the fourth lens L4 of the camera lens LA need to meet the following conditions:
1.5 mm<f1<3.0 mm;
−5 mm<f2<−1.9 mm;
1 mm<f3<2 mm; and
−12 mm<f4<−2 mm.
[Refractive Power]
In the whole structure of the camera lens LA, the refractive power of the first lens L1, the second lens L2, the third lens L3 and the fourth lens L4 of the camera lens LA need to meet the following conditions:
1.50<n1<1.55;
1.60<n2<1.70;
1.50<n3<1.55; and
1.50<n4<1.55;
where,
n1: Refractive power of the first lens;
n2: Refractive power of the second lens;
n3: The refractive power of the third lens;
n4: The refractive power of the fourth lens;
[Abbe Number]
In the whole structure of the camera lens LA, the Abbe number of the first lens L1, the second lens L2, the third lens L3 and the fourth lens L4 of the camera lens LA need to meet the following conditions:
40<v1<60;
15<v2<30;
40<v3<60;
40<v4<60;
where,
v1: Abbe number of the first lens;
v2: Abbe number of the second lens;
v3: Abbe number of the third lens;
v4: Abbe number of the fourth lens.
If the focal length, refractive power and Abbe number of the first lens L1, the second lens L2, the third lens L3 and the fourth lens L4 don't meet above condition, the chromatic aberration characteristics and telocentric characteristics of the camera lens LA may be worsened, and the sensitivity of the camera lens LA will be increased, and it is hard to make the camera lens LA miniaturized, and it is not good for reducing the cost of the camera lens LA.
In this invention, the first lens is a positive lens bearing the main refractive power of the camera lens LA, which is good for reducing the optical length; the second lens L2 uses the material with high refractive power and low Abbe number, capable of correcting the chromatic aberration reasonably; And the second lens L2 and the third lens L3 are glued together, which is good for reducing the optical length and inhibiting the ghost image. Because the four lenses of which the camera lens LA is composed have the composition and meet all the conditions, the camera lens LA manufactured has excellent optical feature, FNo<2.5, with high sensibility, of which, FNo: F value, i.e. ratio between the total focal length of the camera lens as a whole and the incident pupil diameter.
