BACKGROUND

Technical Field

The disclosure relates to an optical element, and in particular, to an optical imaging lens.

Description of Related Art

In recent years, an optical imaging lens has been continuously improved. The optical imaging lens is required to be light, thin, small, and with large field of view angle. However, the distortion aberration also tends to get worse as the field of view angle becomes larger. Therefore, it has always been a goal to design an optical imaging lens with good imaging quality and short system length.

SUMMARY

And the first reference plane and the second reference plane intersect at the optical axis without overlapping, and when the first curve on the first reference plane is rotated onto the second reference plane with the optical axis as the rotation axis, the first curve and the second curve do not coincide.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

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. 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 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.

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. 6A is a radial cross-sectional view of the free form surface of the free-form lens element. FIG. 6B is a schematic front view of the free-form lens element of FIG. 6A viewed from the Z-axis direction. FIG. 6C and FIG. 6D are partial cross-sectional schematic views of the free form surface of FIG. 6B at coordinates (−b, a) and coordinates (a, b), respectively.

For convenience of explanation, the free-form lens element 600 can be regarded as being in the space formed by the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis, the X-axis, the Y-axis, and the Z-axis are perpendicular to each other, and the Z-axis coincides with the optical axis I, and the free-form lens element 600 has a free form surface FS. Please refer to FIG. 6A. First, a first reference plane and a second reference plane are defined. The first reference plane and the second reference plane are different from each other. The first reference plane and the second reference plane each contains the optical axis I. That is, the optical axis I falls completely in the first reference plane, and the optical axis I falls completely in the second reference plane. And the first reference plane, for example, further includes the X-axis, and the second reference plane, for example, further includes the Y-axis, in other words, the first reference plane can be regarded as parallel to the XZ plane formed by the X-axis and the Z-axis, the second reference plane can be regarded as parallel to the YZ plane formed by the Y-axis and the Z-axis, the first reference plane and the second reference plane intersect at the optical axis I without overlapping.

The longitudinal spherical aberrations of the first embodiment are shown in FIG. 8A, and curves of all the wavelengths are quite close to each other and approach the middle. It indicates that off-axis rays of all the wavelengths at different heights are focused near an imaging point. From deflection amplitude of the curves of all the wavelengths, it can be seen that imaging point deviations of the off-axis rays at different heights are controlled within a range of ±0.012 mm. Therefore, a spherical aberration of a same wavelength is definitely reduced in the first embodiment. In addition, the three representative wavelengths are also quite close to each other. It indicates that imaging positions of rays of different wavelengths are quite focused. Therefore, chromatic and astigmatic aberrations are also definitely reduced.

In the two field curvature aberration diagrams of FIG. 8B and FIG. 8C, focal length variations of the three representative wavelengths in an entire field of view fall within a range of ±0.06 mm. It indicates that astigmatic aberrations can be effectively eliminated by the optical system in the first embodiment.

It indicates that the distortion aberrations of the first embodiment satisfy an imaging quality requirement of the optical system. To be specific, different from an existing optical lens, the first embodiment can still provide desired imaging quality when the TTL is reduced to approximately 7.176 mm. Therefore, the first embodiment can have a shorter length and achieve desired imaging quality while maintaining desired optical properties.

A distortion aberration diagram of FIG. 12D shows that distortion aberrations of the second embodiment are retained within a range of ±6%.

Based on the above, it can be seen that the HFOV in the second embodiment is greater than the HFOV in the first embodiment. Therefore, compared with the first embodiment, the second embodiment has a larger image receiving angle. In addition, the TTL of the second embodiment is shorter than the TTL of the first embodiment.

Detailed optical data of the optical imaging lens 10 in the tenth embodiment is shown in FIG. 45, and the optical imaging lens 10 in the tenth embodiment has an EFL of 3.292 mm, an HFOV of 56.508°, a Fno of 2.241, a TTL of 7.162 mm, and an image height of 5.233 mm.

Aspheric surface coefficients of the object-side surface 15 of the first lens element 1 to the image-side surface 56 of the fifth lens element 5 and the object-side surface 75 of the seventh lens element 7 to the image-side surface 86 of the eighth lens element 8 in the tenth embodiment in Formula (1) are shown in FIG. 46A and FIG. 46B. Coefficients of each term of the X^mYⁿ of the object-side surface 65 and the image-side surface 66 of the sixth lens element 6 in the tenth embodiment in Formula (2) are shown in FIG. 46C and FIG. 46D. FIG. 46E shows the corresponding Sag values of the sixth lens element of the tenth embodiment of the disclosure at the two selected coordinate values on the XY plane.

In addition, the relationships between important parameters of the optical imaging lens 10 in the tenth embodiment is shown in FIG. 49 and FIG. 50.

Longitudinal spherical aberrations of the tenth embodiment are shown in FIG. 44A, and imaging point deviations of off-axis rays at different heights are controlled within a range of ±0.02 mm.

The distortion aberration of the tenth embodiment is less than the distortion aberration of the first embodiment.
