Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The invention relates to an optical imaging lens.

2. Description of Related Art

The increasing popularity of portable electronic products such as mobile phones and digital cameras in recent years lead to the prosperous development of technologies relating to image modules. An image module mainly includes devices such as an optical imaging lens, a module holder unit, and a sensor, and the trend of pursuing light-weightiness and compactness of mobile phones and digital cameras also facilitates the demands for miniaturizing image modules. Due to the development of the technologies for charge coupled devices (CCD) and complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) devices advance and the reduction of sizes thereof, the length of the optical imaging lens mounted in the image module also needs to be reduced. However, to ensure the effect and quality of photographing, the optical performance still needs to be considered while reducing the length of the optical imaging lens.

As portable electronic products (e.g., mobile phones, cameras, tablet computers, personal digital assistants, vehicle camera apparatuses, virtual reality trackers, and the like) with novel specifications emerge one after another, the development of a crucial part, i.e., the optical imaging lens, is also diversified. The applications of the optical imaging lens are beyond photographing and film recording but further include surveillance of surrounding as well as video recording during driving. Moreover, as image sensing technologies advance, the consumer's demands on imaging quality also become higher. Therefore, the optical imaging lens is not only designed for a better imaging quality and a smaller lens space. Attention is also required to cope with driving or low-brightness environments, the size of field of view and aperture, and near infrared detection.

However, when designing an optical imaging lens, an optical lens having both a miniaturized size and a desirable imaging quality cannot be manufactured by simply scaling down a lens with a desirable imaging quality. The design not only involves material properties but also needs to take practical production issues, such as manufacturing and assembling yield rates, into consideration.

Particularly, the technical level of manufacturing a miniaturized lens is higher than that of manufacturing a traditional lens. Therefore, how to manufacture an optical imaging lens meeting the needs of consumer electronic products and facilitate the imaging quality of such optical lens has been an issue of this field.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

Reference will now be made in detail to the present preferred embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers are used in the drawings and the description to refer to the same or like parts.

In the present disclosure, the optical system may comprise at least one lens element to receive imaging rays that are incident on the optical system over a set of angles ranging from parallel to an optical axis to a half field of view (HFOV) angle with respect to the optical axis. The imaging rays pass through the optical system to produce an image on an image plane. The term “a lens element having positive refracting power (or negative refracting power)” means that the paraxial refracting power of the lens element in Gaussian optics is positive (or negative). The term “an object-side (or image-side) surface of a lens element” refers to a specific region of that surface of the lens element at which imaging rays can pass through that specific region. Imaging rays include at least two types of rays: a chief ray Lc and a marginal ray Lm (as shown in FIG. 1). An object-side (or image-side) surface of a lens element can be characterized as having several regions, including an optical axis region, a periphery region, and, in some cases, one or more intermediate regions, as discussed more fully below.

FIG. 1 is a radial cross-sectional view of a lens element 100. Two referential points for the surfaces of the lens element 100 can be defined: a central point, and a transition point. The central point of a surface of a lens element is a point of intersection of that surface and the optical axis I. As illustrated in FIG. 1, a first central point CP1 may be present on the object-side surface 110 of lens element 100 and a second central point CP2 may be present on the image-side surface 120 of the lens element 100. The transition point is a point on a surface of a lens element, at which the line tangent to that point is perpendicular to the optical axis I. The optical boundary OB of a surface of the lens element is defined as a point at which the radially outermost marginal ray Lm passing through the surface of the lens element intersects the surface of the lens element. All transition points lie between the optical axis I and the optical boundary OB of the surface of the lens element. If multiple transition points are present on a single surface, then these transition points are sequentially named along the radial direction of the surface with reference numerals starting from the first transition point. For example, the first transition point, e.g., TP1, (closest to the optical axis I), the second transition point, e.g., TP2, (as shown in FIG. 4), and the Nth transition point (farthest from the optical axis I).

The region of a surface of the lens element from the central point to the first transition point TP1 is defined as the optical axis region, which includes the central point. The region located radially outside of the farthest N^th transition point from the optical axis I to the optical boundary OB of the surface of the lens element is defined as the periphery region. In some embodiments, there may be intermediate regions present between the optical axis region and the periphery region, with the number of intermediate regions depending on the number of the transition points.

The shape of a region is convex if a collimated ray being parallel to the optical axis I and passing through the region is bent toward the optical axis I such that the ray intersects the optical axis I on the image side A2 of the lens element. The shape of a region is concave if the extension line of a collimated ray being parallel to the optical axis I and passing through the region intersects the optical axis I on the object side A1 of the lens element.

Additionally, referring to FIG. 1, the lens element 100 may also have a mounting portion 130 extending radially outward from the optical boundary OB. The mounting portion 130 is typically used to physically secure the lens element to a corresponding element of the optical system (not shown). Imaging rays do not reach the mounting portion 130. The structure and shape of the mounting portion 130 are only examples to explain the technologies, and should not be taken as limiting the scope of the present disclosure. The mounting portion 130 of the lens elements discussed below may be partially or completely omitted in the following drawings.

Referring to FIG. 2, optical axis region Z1 is defined between central point CP and first transition point TP1. Periphery region Z2 is defined between TP1 and the optical boundary OB of the surface of the lens element. Collimated ray 211 intersects the optical axis I on the image side A2 of lens element 200 after passing through optical axis region Z1, i.e., the focal point of collimated ray 211 after passing through optical axis region Z1 is on the image side A2 of the lens element 200 at point R in FIG. 2. Accordingly, since the ray itself intersects the optical axis I on the image side A2 of the lens element 200, optical axis region Z1 is convex. On the contrary, collimated ray 212 diverges after passing through periphery region Z2. The extension line EL of collimated ray 212 after passing through periphery region Z2 intersects the optical axis I on the object side A1 of lens element 200, i.e., the focal point of collimated ray 212 after passing through periphery region Z2 is on the object side A1 at point M in FIG. 2. Accordingly, since the extension line EL of the ray intersects the optical axis I on the object side A1 of the lens element 200, periphery region Z2 is concave. In the lens element 200 illustrated in FIG. 2, the first transition point TP1 is the border of the optical axis region and the periphery region, i.e., TP1 is the point at which the shape changes from convex to concave.

Alternatively, there is another way for a person having ordinary skill in the art to determine whether an optical axis region is convex or concave by referring to the sign of “Radius” (the “R” value), which is the paraxial radius of shape of a lens surface in the optical axis region. The R value is commonly used in conventional optical design software such as Zemax and CodeV. The R value usually appears in the lens data sheet in the software. For an object-side surface, a positive R value defines that the optical axis region of the object-side surface is convex, and a negative R value defines that the optical axis region of the object-side surface is concave. Conversely, for an image-side surface, a positive R value defines that the optical axis region of the image-side surface is concave, and a negative R value defines that the optical axis region of the image-side surface is convex. The result found by using this method should be consistent with the method utilizing intersection of the optical axis by rays/extension lines mentioned above, which determines surface shape by referring to whether the focal point of a collimated ray being parallel to the optical axis I is on the object-side or the image-side of a lens element. As used herein, the terms “a shape of a region is convex (concave),” “a region is convex (concave),” and “a convex- (concave-) region,” can be used alternatively.

FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 illustrate examples of determining the shape of lens element regions and the boundaries of regions under various circumstances, including the optical axis region, the periphery region, and intermediate regions as set forth in the present specification.

FIG. 3 is a radial cross-sectional view of a lens element 300. As illustrated in FIG. 3, only one transition point TP1 appears within the optical boundary OB of the image-side surface 320 of the lens element 300. Optical axis region Z1 and periphery region Z2 of the image-side surface 320 of lens element 300 are illustrated. The R value of the image-side surface 320 is positive (i.e., R>0). Accordingly, the optical axis region Z1 is concave.

In general, the shape of each region demarcated by the transition point will have an opposite shape to the shape of the adjacent region(s). Accordingly, the transition point will define a transition in shape, changing from concave to convex at the transition point or changing from convex to concave. In FIG. 3, since the shape of the optical axis region Z1 is concave, the shape of the periphery region Z2 will be convex as the shape changes at the transition point TP1.

FIG. 4 is a radial cross-sectional view of a lens element 400. Referring to FIG. 4, a first transition point TP1 and a second transition point TP2 are present on the object-side surface 410 of lens element 400. The optical axis region Z1 of the object-side surface 410 is defined between the optical axis I and the first transition point TP1. The R value of the object-side surface 410 is positive (i.e., R>0). Accordingly, the optical axis region Z1 is convex.

The periphery region Z2 of the object-side surface 410, which is also convex, is defined between the second transition point TP2 and the optical boundary OB of the object-side surface 410 of the lens element 400. Further, intermediate region Z3 of the object-side surface 410, which is concave, is defined between the first transition point TP1 and the second transition point TP2. Referring once again to FIG. 4, the object-side surface 410 includes an optical axis region Z1 located between the optical axis I and the first transition point TP1, an intermediate region Z3 located between the first transition point TP1 and the second transition point TP2, and a periphery region Z2 located between the second transition point TP2 and the optical boundary OB of the object-side surface 410. Since the shape of the optical axis region Z1 is designed to be convex, the shape of the intermediate region Z3 is concave as the shape of the intermediate region Z3 changes at the first transition point TP1, and the shape of the periphery region Z2 is convex as the shape of the periphery region Z2 changes at the second transition point TP2.

FIG. 5 is a radial cross-sectional view of a lens element 500. Lens element 500 has no transition point on the object-side surface 510 of the lens element 500. For a surface of a lens element with no transition point, for example, the object-side surface 510 the lens element 500, the optical axis region Z1 is defined as the region between 0-50% of the distance between the optical axis I and the optical boundary OB of the surface of the lens element and the periphery region is defined as the region between 50%-100% of the distance between the optical axis I and the optical boundary OB of the surface of the lens element. Referring to lens element 500 illustrated in FIG. 5, the optical axis region Z1 of the object-side surface 510 is defined between the optical axis I and 50% of the distance between the optical axis I and the optical boundary OB. The R value of the object-side surface 510 is positive (i.e., R>0). Accordingly, the optical axis region Z1 is convex. For the object-side surface 510 of the lens element 500, because there is no transition point, the periphery region Z2 of the object-side surface 510 is also convex. It should be noted that lens element 500 may have a mounting portion (not shown) extending radially outward from the periphery region Z2.

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating an optical imaging lens according to a first embodiment of the invention. FIGS. 7A to 7D are diagrams illustrating a longitudinal spherical aberration and various aberrations of the optical imaging lens according to the first embodiment. Referring to FIG. 6, an optical imaging lens 10 includes an aperture 0, a first lens element 1, a second lens element 2, a third lens element 3, a fourth lens element 4, a fifth lens element 5, a sixth lens element 6, a seventh lens element 7, an eighth lens element 8, and a filter 9 sequentially arranged from an object side to an image side along an optical axis I. When a ray emitted from an object to be shot enters the optical imaging lens 10, an image may be formed on an image plane 99 after the ray passes through the aperture 0, the first lens element 1, the second lens element 2, the third lens element 3, the fourth lens element 4, the fifth lens element 5, the sixth lens element 6, the seventh lens element 7, the eighth lens element 8, and the filter 9. The filter 9 may be an infrared cut-off filter, for example, and is adapted to prevent a portion of infrared light in the ray from being transmitted to the image plane 99 and affecting the imaging quality. In addition, the object side is a side facing toward the object to be shot, whereas the image side is a side facing toward the image plane 99.

The first lens element 1, the second lens element 2, the third lens element 3, the fourth lens element 4, the fifth lens element 5, the sixth lens element 6, the seventh lens element 7, the eighth lens element 8 and the filter 9 respectively have object-side surfaces 15, 25, 35, 45, 55, 65, 75, 85, and 95 facing toward the object side and allowing imaging rays to pass through and image-side surfaces 16, 26, 36, 46, 56, 66, 76, 86 and 96 facing toward the image side and allowing the imaging rays to pass through.

To meet the needs for weight reduction of the product, materials of the first lens element 1 to the eighth lens element 8 may be plastic. However, the materials of the first lens element 1 to the eighth lens element 8 are not limited thereto.
