Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims priority to P.R.C. Patent Application No. 202111626282.2 titled “Optical Imaging Lens,” filed on Dec. 28, 2021, with the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) of the People's Republic of China.


TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to optical imaging lenses, and particularly, optical imaging lenses having, in some embodiments, eight lens elements.


BACKGROUND

As the specifications of mobile electronical devices rapidly evolve, various types of key components, such as optical imaging lenses, are developed. Desirable objectives for designing an optical imaging lens may not be limited to great aperture stop and compact sizes, but may also pursue high resolution. High resolution implies that an image height must be increased by using a greater image sensor accepting imaging rays. Traditional designs providing an enlarged aperture stop to let lens accept more imaging rays, but it will raise difficulty of design. Increasing the number of pixel may force the resolution of lens to be raised, and if it is designed with a large aperture stop, it will make the design more difficult. Accordingly, adding lens elements in a limit system length, promoting resolution and enlarging aperture stop, along with increasing image height in an optical imaging lens may be a challenge in the industry.


SUMMARY

In light of aforesaid problems, the present disclosure provides for optical imaging lenses showing a slim and compact appearance, small Fno, great image height and good imaging quality.


In an example embodiment, an optical imaging lens may be used for shooting a video or picture in a mobile electronical device, such as cell phone, digital camera, tablet computer, personal digital assistant (PDA), etc. The optical imaging lens may comprise eight lens elements, hereinafter referred to as first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth lens elements and positioned sequentially from an object side to an image side along an optical axis.

Each of the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth lens elements may also have an image-side surface facing toward the image side and allowing the imaging rays to pass through.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

For a more complete understanding of the present disclosure and its advantages, reference is now made to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numbers indicate like features. Persons of ordinary skill in the art having the benefit of the present disclosure will understand other variations for implementing embodiments within the scope of the present disclosure, including those specific examples described herein. The drawings are not limited to specific scale and similar reference numbers are used for representing similar elements. As used in the disclosures and the appended claims, the terms “example embodiment,” “exemplary embodiment,” and “present embodiment” do not necessarily refer to a single embodiment, although it may, and various example embodiments may be readily combined and interchanged, without departing from the scope or spirit of the present disclosure. Furthermore, the terminology as used herein is for the purpose of describing example embodiments only and is not intended to be a limitation of the disclosure. In this respect, as used herein, the term “in” may include “in” and “on”, and the terms “a”, “an” and “the” may include singular and plural references. Furthermore, as used herein, the term “by” may also mean “from”, depending on the context. Furthermore, as used herein, the term “if” may also mean “when” or “upon”, depending on the context. Furthermore, as used herein, the words “and/or” may refer to and encompass any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.


The terms “optical axis region”, “periphery region”, “concave”, and “convex” used in this specification and claims should be interpreted based on the definition listed in the specification by the principle of lexicographer.


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. A surface of the lens element 100 may have no transition point or have at least one transition point. 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).


When a surface of the lens element has at least one transition point, the region of the 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 transition point (the Nth 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. When a surface of the lens element has no transition point, the optical axis region is defined as a region of 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 a region of 50%-100% of the distance between the optical axis I and the optical boundary OB of the surface of the lens element.


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 of curvature” (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 of 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 of 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.

Several example embodiments and associated optical data will now be provided for illustrating example embodiments of an optical imaging lens with higher resolution, and enlarged aperture stop and image height. Reference is now made to FIGS. 6-9. FIG. 6 illustrates an example cross-sectional view of an optical imaging lens 1 according to a first example embodiment. FIGS. 7A, 7B, 7C and 7D show example charts of a longitudinal spherical aberration and other kinds of optical aberrations of the optical imaging lens 1 according to an example embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 7A, a longitudinal spherical aberration of three representative wavelengths (470 nm, 555 nm, 650 nm) of the optical imaging lens 1 in the present embodiment is shown in coordinates in which a vertical axis represents field of view, and FIG. 7B, curvature of field of three representative wavelengths (470 nm, 555 nm, 650 nm) of the optical imaging lens 1 in the present embodiment in the sagittal direction is shown in coordinates in which a vertical axis represents image height, and FIG. 7C, curvature of field in the tangential direction of three representative wavelengths (470 nm, 555 nm, 650 nm) of the optical imaging lens 1 in the present embodiment is shown in coordinates in which a vertical axis represents image height, and FIG. 7D, distortion aberration of the optical imaging lens 1 in the present embodiment is shown in coordinates in which a vertical axis represents image height. The curve of each of these wavelengths may be close to each other, and this represents that off-axis light with respect to the three representative wavelengths (470 nm, 555 nm, 650 nm) may be focused around an image point.

Further, for curvature of field in the sagittal direction shown in FIG. 7B, the focus variation with respect to the three wavelengths in the whole field may fall within about −0.03˜0.02 mm. For curvature of field in the tangential direction shown in FIG. 7C, the focus variation with respect to the three wavelengths in the whole field may fall within about −0.08˜0.03 mm. The variation of the distortion aberration shown in FIG. 7D may be within about 0˜8%.
