This application claims the priority benefit of Japanese Patent Application Ser. No. 2018-137211 filed on Jul. 20, 2018, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The present disclosure relates to the field of camera lenses, and more particularly, to a camera lens, which is constituted by eight lenses, is applicable to a mobile phone camera assembly, a WEB camera lens or the like using camera elements such as a high-pixel CCD and a CMOS, and meanwhile has an excellent optical characteristic, an ultra-thin appearance with total track length (TTL)/image height (IH)≤1.65, a wide angle with a field of view (hereinafter briefly referred to as 2ω) of 70° or more, and an F-number (hereinafter briefly referred to as Fno) of 1.45 or less.
In recent years, various types of camera devices using camera elements such as a CCD and a CMOS have been widely applied. With miniaturization and high performance-oriented development of these camera elements, the society has a stronger demand for a camera lens with excellent optical characteristics, an ultra-thin appearance, a wide-angle and a bright Fno.
A camera lens which is constituted by eight lenses and has a bright Fno is disclosed in the related art. Refractive powers of respective lenses from a 1st lens to an 8th lens are (positive, negative, positive, negative, positive, negative, negative, negative), (positive, negative, positive, negative, positive, positive, negative, negative), (positive, positive, negative, positive, negative, positive, negative, negative), or (positive, positive, negative, positive, positive, positive, negative, negative), so Fno=1.20˜1.60 which is bright, but TTL/IH>1.90 which is not ultra-thin enough.
An embodiment of a camera lens related to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The 1st lens L1 has a positive refractive power, the 2nd lens L2 has a negative refractive power, the 3rd lens L3 has a negative refractive power, the 4th lens L4 has a positive refractive power, the 5th lens L5 has a negative refractive power, the 6th lens L6 has a positive refractive power, the 7th lens L7 has a positive refractive power, and the 8th lens L8 has a negative refractive power. In order to better correct an aberration problem, it is most preferable to design surfaces of the eight lenses as aspherical.
