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 specification, the description “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 description “An object-side (or image-side) surface of a lens element” only includes a specific region of that surface of the lens element where imaging rays are capable of passing through that region, namely the clear aperture of the surface. The aforementioned imaging rays can be classified into two types, chief ray Lc and marginal ray Lm. Taking a lens element depicted in FIG. 1 as an example, the lens element is rotationally symmetric, where the optical axis I is the axis of symmetry. The region A of the lens element is defined as “a portion in a vicinity of the optical axis”, and the region C of the lens element is defined as “a portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element”. Besides, the lens element may also have an extending portion E extended radially and outwardly from the region C, namely the portion outside of the clear aperture of the lens element. The extending portion E is usually used for physically assembling the lens element into an optical imaging lens system. Under no nal circumstances, the imaging rays would not pass through the extending portion E because those imaging rays only pass through the clear aperture. The structures and shapes of the aforementioned extending portion E are only examples for technical explanation, the structures and shapes of lens elements should not be limited to these examples. Note that the extending portions of the lens element surfaces depicted in the following embodiments are partially omitted.

The following criteria are provided for determining the shapes and the portions of lens element surfaces set forth in the present specification. These criteria mainly determine the boundaries of portions under various circumstances including the portion in a vicinity of the optical axis, the portion in a vicinity of a periphery of a lens element surface, and other types of lens element surfaces such as those having multiple portions.

1. FIG. 1 is a radial cross-sectional view of a lens element. Before determining boundaries of those aforesaid portions, two referential points should be defined first, central point and transition point. The central point of a surface of a lens element is a point of intersection of that surface and the optical axis. The transition point is a point on a surface of a lens element, where the tangent line of that point is perpendicular to the optical axis. Additionally, if multiple transition points appear on one single surface, then these transition points are sequentially named along the radial direction of the surface with numbers starting from the first transition point. For instance, the first transition point (closest one to the optical axis), the second transition point, and the Nth transition point (farthest one to the optical axis within the scope of the clear aperture of the surface). The portion of a surface of the lens element between the central point and the first transition point is defined as the portion in a vicinity of the optical axis. The portion located radially outside of the Nth transition point (but still within the scope of the clear aperture) is defined as the portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element. In some embodiments, there are other portions existing between the portion in a vicinity of the optical axis and the portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element; the numbers of portions depend on the numbers of the transition point(s). In addition, the radius of the clear aperture (or a so-called effective radius) of a surface is defined as the radial distance from the optical axis I to a point of intersection of the marginal ray Lm and the surface of the lens element.

2. Referring to FIG. 2, determining the shape of a portion is convex or concave depends on whether a collimated ray passing through that portion converges or diverges. That is, while applying a collimated ray to a portion to be determined in terms of shape, the collimated ray passing through that portion will be bended and the ray itself or its extension line will eventually meet the optical axis. The shape of that portion can be determined by whether the ray or its extension line meets (intersects) the optical axis (focal point) at the object-side or image-side. For instance, if the ray itself intersects the optical axis at the image side of the lens element after passing through a portion, i.e., the focal point of this ray is at the image side (see point R in FIG. 2), the portion will be determined as having a convex shape. On the contrary, if the ray diverges after passing through a portion, the extension line of the ray intersects the optical axis at the object side of the lens element, i.e., the focal point of the ray is at the object side (see point M in FIG. 2), that portion will be determined as having a concave shape. Therefore, referring to FIG. 2, the portion between the central point and the first transition point has a convex shape, the portion located radially outside of the first transition point has a concave shape, and the first transition point is the point where the portion having a convex shape changes to the portion having a concave shape, namely the border of two adjacent portions. Alternatively, there is another common way for a person with ordinary skill in the art to tell whether a portion in a vicinity of the optical axis has a convex or concave shape by referring to the sign of an “R” value, which is the (paraxial) radius of curvature of a lens surface. The R value which 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, positive R means that the object-side surface is convex, and negative R means that the object-side surface is concave. Conversely, for an image-side surface, positive R means that the image-side surface is concave, and negative R means that the image-side surface is convex. The result found by using this method should be consistent as by using the other way mentioned above, which determines surface shapes by referring to whether the focal point of a collimated ray is at the object side or the image side.

3. For none transition point cases, the portion in a vicinity of the optical axis is defined as the portion between 0˜50% of the effective radius (radius of the clear aperture) of the surface, whereas the portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element is defined as the portion between 50˜100% of effective radius (radius of the clear aperture) of the surface.

Referring to the first example depicted in FIG. 3, only one transition point, namely a first transition point, appears within the clear aperture of the image-side surface of the lens element. Portion I is a portion in a vicinity of the optical axis, and portion II is a portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element. The portion in a vicinity of the optical axis is determined as having a concave surface due to the R value at the image-side surface of the lens element is positive. The shape of the portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element is different from that of the radially inner adjacent portion, i.e., the shape of the portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element is different from the shape of the portion in a vicinity of the optical axis; the portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element has a convex shape.

Referring to the second example depicted in FIG. 4, a first transition point and a second transition point exist on the object-side surface (within the clear aperture) of a lens element. In which portion I is the portion in a vicinity of the optical axis, and portion III is the portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element. The portion in a vicinity of the optical axis has a convex shape because the R value at the object-side surface of the lens element is positive. The portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element (portion III) has a convex shape. What is more, there is another portion having a concave shape existing between the first and second transition point (portion II).

Referring to a third example depicted in FIG. 5, no transition point exists on the object-side surface of the lens element. In this case, the portion between 0˜50% of the effective radius (radius of the clear aperture) is determined as the portion in a vicinity of the optical axis, and the portion between 50˜100% of the effective radius is determined as the portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element. The portion in a vicinity of the optical axis of the object-side surface of the lens element is determined as having a convex shape due to its positive R value, and the portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element is determined as having a convex shape as well.

In implementation of the invention, apart from the above-described relations, it is also possible to add additional detailed structures such as more concave and convex curvatures arrangement of a specific lens element or a plurality of lens elements so as to enhance control of system property and/or resolution. For example, it is optional to form a concave portion in the vicinity of the periphery on the object-side surface of the third lens element. It should be noted that the above-described details can be optionally combined and applied to the other embodiments of the invention under the condition where they are not in conflict with one another.

Based on the above, the optical imaging lens 10 in the embodiment of the invention can achieve the following effects and advantages.

1. The longitudinal spherical aberrations, astigmatism aberrations, and distortion aberration of each of the embodiments of the invention are all complied with usage specifications. In addition, the curves of the three representative wavelengths: red, green, and blue are all near the middle position, which shows that the off-axis ray of each wavelength at different heights are focused near the imaging point. The skew margin of the curve of each wavelength shows that the imaging point deviation of the off-axis ray at different heights is well controlled to achieve a good capability to suppress spherical aberration, astigmatism aberration and distortion aberration. Further referring to the imaging quality data, distances among the three representative wavelengths red, green and blue are fairly close, which represents that the optical imaging lens of the embodiments of the invention has a good concentration of rays with different wavelengths and under different states and has an excellent capability to suppress dispersion. Based on the above, through the design and combination of the lens elements, favorable imaging quality is thus achieved.

2. The first lens element 3 has negative refractive power and thus is conducive to enlarge the angle of the system half field view.

Alternatively, when the at least one piece of the lens elements with the material satisfying the condition expression of |dn/dt|≤8.500×10⁻⁶/° C. is selected and the material of the first lens element 3 is plastic, thermal stability effect may also be achieved. Furthermore, in the optical imaging lens 10 provided by the embodiments of the invention, if the at least one piece of the lens elements has the material satisfying the condition expression of |dn/dt|≤8.500×10⁻⁶/° C. and the material is glass, better thermal stability effect is obtained. Further, when temperature rises from 0° C. to 70° C., a focal shift of the optical imaging lens 10 provided by the embodiments of the invention does not exceed 0.003 mm.

6. Herein, the material of the fourth lens element 6 satisfies the condition expression of |dn/dt|≤8.500×10⁻⁶/° C. and thus delivers the best thermal stability effect, and moreover, the material of the fourth lens element 6 is glass.
