Patent Application
20240111132
This application claims the benefit under 35 USC 119(a) of Korean Patent Application Nos. 10-2022-0125165 filed on Sep. 30, 2022, and 10-2022-0157881 filed on Nov. 23, 2022, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the entire disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.
The present disclosure relates to an imaging lens system that may be used in a wide temperature range.
Vehicles may include cameras to minimize personal and property damage caused due to traffic accidents. For example, one or more cameras may be installed on front and rear bumpers of a vehicle to provide information regarding objects located to the front and rear of the vehicle to the driver. As described above, because vehicle cameras are disposed on the bumpers of the vehicle, the vehicle cameras may be affected by the external environment. For example, a high-temperature environment in summer and a low-temperature environment in winter may significantly degrade the performance and resolution of vehicle cameras. In addition, strong ultraviolet rays incident through a lens of a vehicle camera may change optical performance or physical characteristics of some lenses (e.g., lenses formed of plastic). Accordingly, there is a need to develop a camera capable of minimizing performance deterioration caused by the external environment and ultraviolet rays and an imaging lens system suitable for the camera.
The above information is presented as background information only to assist with an understanding of the present disclosure. No determination has been made, and no assertion is made, as to whether any of the above might be applicable as prior art with regard to the disclosure.

Other features and aspects will be apparent from the following detailed description, the drawings, and the claims.
Throughout the drawings and the detailed description, the same reference numerals refer to the same elements. The drawings may not be to scale, and the relative size, proportions, and depiction of elements in the drawings may be exaggerated for clarity, illustration, and convenience.
Hereinafter, while examples of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is noted that examples are not limited to the same.
The following detailed description is provided to assist the reader in gaining a comprehensive understanding of the methods, apparatuses, and/or systems described herein. However, various changes, modifications, and equivalents of the methods, apparatuses, and/or systems described herein will be apparent after an understanding of this disclosure. For example, the sequences of operations described herein are merely examples, and are not limited to those set forth herein, but may be changed as will be apparent after an understanding of this disclosure, with the exception of operations necessarily occurring in a certain order. Also, descriptions of features that are known in the art may be omitted for increased clarity and conciseness.
The features described herein may be embodied in different forms, and are not to be construed as being limited to the examples described herein. Rather, the examples described herein have been provided merely to illustrate some of the many possible ways of implementing the methods, apparatuses, and/or systems described herein that will be apparent after an understanding of this disclosure.
In describing the present disclosure below, terms referring to the components of the present disclosure are named in consideration of the function of each component, and thus should not be construed as limiting the technical components of the present disclosure.
Throughout the specification, when an element, such as a layer, region, or substrate is described as being “on,” “connected to,” or “coupled to” another element, it may be directly “on,” “connected to,” or “coupled to” the other element, or there may be one or more other elements intervening therebetween. In contrast, when an element is described as being “directly on,” “directly connected to,” or “directly coupled to” another element, there can be no other elements intervening therebetween.
As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any one and any combination of any two or more of the associated listed items; likewise, “at least one of” includes any one and any combination of any two or more of the associated listed items.
Although terms such as “first,” “second,” and “third” may be used herein to describe various members, components, regions, layers, or sections, these members, components, regions, layers, or sections are not to be limited by these terms. Rather, these terms are only used to distinguish one member, component, region, layer, or section from another member, component, region, layer, or section. Thus, a first member, component, region, layer, or section referred to in examples described herein may also be referred to as a second member, component, region, layer, or section without departing from the teachings of the examples.
Spatially relative terms, such as “above,” “upper,” “below,” “lower,” and the like, may be used herein for ease of description to describe one element's relationship to another element as shown in the figures. Such spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, an element described as being “above,” or “upper” relative to another element would then be “below,” or “lower” relative to the other element. Thus, the term “above” encompasses both the above and below orientations depending on the spatial orientation of the device. The device may also be oriented in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations), and the spatially relative terms used herein are to be interpreted accordingly.
The terminology used herein is for describing various examples only, and is not to be used to limit the disclosure. The articles “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. The terms “comprises,” “includes,” and “has” specify the presence of stated features, numbers, operations, members, elements, and/or combinations thereof, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, operations, members, elements, and/or combinations thereof.
Due to manufacturing techniques and/or tolerances, variations of the shapes shown in the drawings may occur. Thus, the examples described herein are not limited to the specific shapes shown in the drawings, but include changes in shape that occur during manufacturing.
Herein, it is noted that use of the term “may” with respect to an example, for example, as to what an example may include or implement, means that at least one example exists in which such a feature is included or implemented while all examples are not limited thereto.
The features of the examples described herein may be combined in various ways as will be apparent after an understanding of this disclosure. Further, although the examples described herein have a variety of configurations, other configurations are possible as will be apparent after an understanding of this disclosure.
Example embodiments provide an imaging lens system capable of minimizing deterioration of a lens caused by ultraviolet rays, while having a wide operating temperature range.
According to one or more example embodiments, an imaging lens system may include a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, a seventh lens, and an eighth lens sequentially arranged from an object side.

In the examples, a first lens refers to a lens most adjacent to an object (or a subject), and an eighth lens refers to a lens most adjacent to an imaging plane (or an image sensor). In the examples, a unit of a radius of curvature, a thickness, a TTL (a distance from an object-side surface of the first lens to an imaging plane), an ImgHT (a height of an imaging plane), and a unit of an effective radius is indicated in millimeters (mm).
A thickness of a lens, a distance between lenses, and a TTL refer to a distance of a lens along an optical axis.
