20250208383
This application claims the benefit under 35 USC 119(a) of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2023-0187415, filed on Dec. 20, 2023, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.
The present disclosure relates to an optical imaging system.
Portable terminals may include a camera with an optical imaging system with a plurality of lenses to enable video calls and the capturing of images.
Portable terminals with cameras may be miniaturized, making it desirable to develop a corresponding optical imaging system with a high resolution.
To implement a camera for a portable terminal having telephoto properties, an optical axis of a plurality of lenses may be disposed to be parallel to a length direction or a width direction of a portable terminal, and a reflective member may be disposed on a front side of the plurality of lenses such that a total track length of the optical imaging system may not affect a thickness of the portable terminal.
However, in this structure, as the diameters of the plurality of lenses increase, the thickness of the portable terminal may also undesirably increase.
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.
This Summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description.

Other features and aspects will be apparent from the following detailed description, the drawings, and the claims.
Throughout the drawings and the detailed description, unless otherwise described, 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.
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.
An effective aperture radius of a lens surface is a radius of a portion of the lens surface through which light actually passes, and is not necessarily a radius of an outer edge of the lens surface. An object-side surface of a lens and an image-side surface of the lens may have different effective aperture radiuses.
Stated another way, an effective aperture radius of a lens surface is a distance in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis of the lens surface between the optical axis of the lens surface and a marginal ray of light passing through the lens surface.
An optical imaging system, according to embodiments, may be mounted on a portable electronic device. For example, an optical imaging system may be configured as a component of a camera module mounted on a portable electronic device. A portable electronic device may be implemented as a mobile communication terminal, a smartphone, and a tablet PC.
In embodiments, a unit of values of radius of curvature, thickness, distance, focal length, and the like, may be mm, and a unit of a field of view may be degree.
In the description related to the shape of a lens of the embodiments, a convex surface may indicate that a paraxial region portion of the surface may be convex, and a concave surface may indicate that a paraxial region portion of the surface may be concave.
A paraxial region may refer to a relatively narrow area near the optical axis.
An imaging plane may refer to a virtual plane on which a focus is formed by the optical imaging system. Alternatively, the imaging plane may refer to one surface of the image sensor in which light is received.
An optical imaging system, according to an embodiment, may include a plurality of lens groups. As an example, the optical imaging system may include a first lens group and a second lens group.
The first lens group may include one or more lenses, and the second lens group may include a plurality of lenses.
In an embodiment, the first lens group may include a first lens, and the second lens group may include a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, and a sixth lens. The first to sixth lenses may be disposed in order from an object side.
When the first lens group includes a plurality of lenses, a frontmost lens of the first lens group may refer to the first lens, and a frontmost lens of the second lens group may refer to the lens disposed closest to the first lens group among the plurality of lenses of the second lens group.
The plurality of lenses included in the optical imaging system may be spaced apart from each other.
The frontmost lens of the first lens group may have positive refractive power and an object-side surface thereof may be convex. An absolute value of a focal length of the frontmost lens of the second lens group may be smaller than a focal length of the first lens group.
Among the plurality of lenses of the second lens group, at least three lenses may have a refractive index greater than 1.6. Among the plurality of lenses of the second lens group, at least two lenses may have a refractive index greater than 1.63.
Among the plurality of lenses of the second lens group, the fifth lens may have the largest refractive index. In an embodiment, the fifth lens may have a refractive index of 1.66 or greater.
The optical imaging system may further include a reflective member with a reflective surface for changing an optical path. The reflective surface of the reflective member may be configured to change an optical path by 90°.
The reflective member may be disposed between the first lens group and the second lens group. In an embodiment, the reflective member may be disposed between the first lens and the second lens.
The reflective member may be implemented as a mirror or a prism with a reflective surface.
When the reflective member is implemented as a prism, the reflective member may have a form in which a rectangular parallelepiped or a cube is bisected diagonally. The prism may include an incident surface to which light is incident, a reflective surface configured to reflect light passing through the incident surface, and an emitting surface from which light reflected from the reflective surface is emitted.
The reflective member may include three surfaces, each with a quadrangular shape, and two surfaces, each with a triangular shape. For example, each of the incident surfaces, the reflective surface and the emitting surface of the reflective member, may have a quadrangular shape, and both surfaces of the reflective member may have an almost triangular shape.
An optical axis of the first lens group and an optical axis of the second lens group may be perpendicular to each other. In an embodiment, the optical axis direction of the first lens group may be substantially parallel to a thickness direction of a portable terminal on which the optical imaging system is mounted, and the optical axis direction of the second lens group may be substantially parallel to a length direction or a width direction of the portable terminal.
By changing the direction of light through the reflective member, an optical path may be elongated in a relatively narrow space.
For example, light passing through the first lens may pass through the incident surface of the reflective member, the optical path of light may be changed by 90° on the reflective surface, light may pass through the emitting surface of the reflective member and may be incident to the second lens.
Accordingly, the optical imaging system may have a relatively long focal length while having a reduced size.
According to an embodiment, the optical imaging system may have characteristics of a telephoto lens having a relatively narrow field of view and a relatively long focal length.
To reduce the sizes of the portable terminal and the optical imaging system, reducing the diameters of lenses positioned between the reflective member and the image sensor may be desirable. However, as the diameter of the lenses reduces, Fno (the F-number of the optical imaging system) increases, images may be darkened.
Accordingly, the optical imaging system according to an embodiment may reduce Fno by disposing the first lens group having positive refractive power on a front side of the reflective member. Also, an effective diameter of an object-side surface and an effective diameter of an image-side surface of a lens included in the first lens group may be greater than a minor axis length of the incident surface of the reflective member.
The lens included in the first lens group may have an almost circular shape when viewed in the optical axis direction of the first lens group.
The reflective member may be disposed on a front side of the second lens group. The reflective member may rotate with respect to two axes for image stabilization during photographing.
In other words, when shaking occurs due to factors such as hand-shake of a user when obtaining an image or video, image stabilization may be performed by rotating the reflective member in response to the shaking.
In an embodiment, the reflective member may rotate using an optical axis of the first lens group (or an axis parallel to the axis) as a rotation axis (Yaw rotation axis), and may rotate using an axis perpendicular to both the optical axis of the first lens group and the optical axis of the second lens group (or an axis parallel to the axis) as a rotation axis (pitch rotation axis).
Since the first lens group having positive refractive power is disposed on a front side of the reflective member, light incident to the reflective member may be converged, and accordingly, a diameter of the second lens group may be configured to be small. Accordingly, a height of the optical imaging system may be reduced, and also the Fno of the optical imaging system may be reduced.
Also, the first lens group may rotate together with the reflective member.
The optical imaging system may further include an image sensor for converting an image of an incident subject into an electrical signal.
Also, the optical imaging system may further include an infrared cut-off filter (hereinafter, referred to as a “filter”) to block infrared rays. The filter may be disposed between the second lens group and the imaging plane.
Also, the optical imaging system may further include an aperture for controlling the amount of light.
An effective radius of the first lens may be greater than an effective radius of other lenses. In other words, among the first to sixth lenses, the effective radius of the first lens may be the largest.
The first lens may have a shape different from those of the other lenses. For example, when viewed in the optical axis direction of the first lens, the first lens may have a substantially circular shape. One or more lenses among the second to the sixth lens may have a non-circular shape. For example, a length of a non-circular lens in the first axis (X-axis) direction perpendicular to the optical axis may be longer than a length in the second axis (Y-axis) direction perpendicular to both the optical axis and the first axis (X-axis) direction. As for, a ratio of a length of a non-circular lens in the second axis (Y-axis) direction to a length in the first axis (X-axis) direction may be greater than 0.5 and less than 1.
Here, the first axis (X-axis) direction may be the direction in which a long side of the image sensor extends, and the second axis (Y-axis) direction may be the direction in which a short side of the image sensor extends.
A length in the first axis (X-axis) direction of the non-circular lens may be longer than a length in the second axis (Y-axis) direction, such that an effective radius in the first axis (X-axis) direction may be greater than an effective radius in the second axis (Y-axis) direction.
In an embodiment, the first to sixth lenses may be formed of a plastic material.
In an embodiment, an object-side surface and an image-side surface of a lens included in the first lens group may be aspherical.
In an embodiment, an object-side surface and an image-side surface of one or more lenses among the plurality of lenses included in the second lens group may be aspherical.
Here, the aspherical surface of each lens may be represented as equation 1.
In equation 1, c may be the curvature of the lens surface (reciprocal of the radius of curvature), K may be the conic constant, and Y may be the distance from an arbitrary point on the aspherical surface of the lens to the optical axis. Also, constants A-P may be aspherical surface coefficients. Z(SAG) may be the distance in the optical axis direction between an arbitrary point on the aspherical surface of the lens and an apex of the aspherical surface.
According to an embodiment, an optical imaging system may satisfy one or more of the conditional expressions below.
In an embodiment, the optical imaging system may satisfy condition 0.4<R1/R2<0.9. Here, R1 may be the radius of curvature of an object-side surface of the frontmost lens (e.g., first lens) of the first lens group, and R2 may be the radius of curvature of an image-side surface of the frontmost lens (e.g., first lens) of the first lens group. Accordingly, changes in optical path length due to rotation of the first lens group during image stabilization may be reduced, and image stabilization performance may be improved.
In an embodiment, the optical imaging system may satisfy condition 1<SAG11/SAG12<2.5. Here, SAG11 may be an SAG value on an effective diameter end of an object-side surface of the first lens, and SAG12 may be an SAG value on an effective diameter end of an image-side surface of the first lens. Accordingly, changes in optical path length due to rotation of the first lens group during image stabilization may be reduced, and image stabilization performance may be improved.
When the SAG value has a positive value, an effective diameter end of the corresponding lens surface may be positioned closer to an image side than an apex of the corresponding lens surface.
When the SAG value has a negative value, an effective diameter end of the lens surface may be positioned closer to an object side than an apex of the lens surface.
In an embodiment, the optical imaging system may satisfy condition 1<fG1/f<3. Here, fG1 may be the focal length of the first lens group, and f may be the total focal length of the optical imaging system. Accordingly, optimizing the focal length of the first lens group having positive refractive power may reduce the diameters of lenses included in the second lens group.
In an embodiment, the optical imaging system may satisfy condition 0.5<fG1/fG2<2.5. Here, fG2 may be the focal length of the second lens group. Accordingly, by appropriately distributing the refractive power of each lens group, the optical imaging system may have a reduced size and resolution may be improved.
In an embodiment, the optical imaging system may satisfy condition 1<CA_L11/CA_L21<3. Here, CA_L11 may be the effective diameter of the frontmost lens (e.g., first lens) of the first lens group, and CA_L21 may be the effective diameter in the second axis (Y-axis) direction of the frontmost lens (e.g., second lens) of the second lens group. Accordingly, image brightness may improve, and the optical imaging system may be reduced in size.
In an embodiment, the optical imaging system may satisfy condition 1.5<(Lf+DR)/CA_L21<3. Here, Lf may be the distance from an object-side surface of the frontmost lens (e.g., first lens) of the first lens group to the reflective surface of the reflective member, and DR may be the distance from the incident surface of the reflective member to the reflective surface of the reflective member (or, the distance from the reflective surface to the emitting surface). Accordingly, a thickness of the optical imaging system may be prevented from excessively increasing in the optical axis direction of the first lens group.
In an embodiment, the optical imaging system may satisfy condition 0.5 [mm]<CA_L21/Fno<2 [mm]. Here, Fno may be the F-number of the optical imaging system. Accordingly, image brightness may improve, and the optical imaging system may be reduced in size.
In an embodiment, the optical imaging system may satisfy condition DP2/fG2<0.4. Here, DP2 may be the distance from the emitting surface of the reflective member to an object-side surface of the frontmost lens (e.g., second lens) of the second lens group. Accordingly, interference between the reflective member and the second lens group may be prevented when the reflective member rotates. Also, a space in which the second lens group may move in the optical axis direction of the second lens group may be ensured for focus adjustment.
In an embodiment, the optical imaging system may satisfy condition 3<fG1/f2<11. Here, f2 may be the focal length of the frontmost lens (e.g., the second lens) of the second lens group. Accordingly, aberration may be reduced and also the optical imaging system may have sufficient telephoto performance.
In an embodiment, the optical imaging system may satisfy condition 3<f1/f2<11. Here, f1 may be the focal length of the frontmost lens (e.g., first lens) of the first lens group, and f2 may be the focal length of the frontmost lens (e.g., second lens) of the second lens group. Accordingly, aberration may be reduced and also the optical imaging system may have sufficient telephoto performance.
In an embodiment, the optical imaging system may satisfy condition −4<f2/f3<0. Here, f3 may be the focal length of the lens (e.g., third lens) disposed neighboring to the frontmost lens of the second lens group. Accordingly, aberration may be reduced and also the optical imaging system may have sufficient telephoto performance.
In an embodiment, the optical imaging system may satisfy condition −0.3<(R1−R2)/(R1+R2)<0. Accordingly, spherical aberration occurring in the first lens group may be reduced.
In an embodiment, the optical imaging system may satisfy condition 0.2<Lf/Lr<0.4. Here, Lr may be the distance from the reflective surface of the reflective member to the imaging plane. Accordingly, the optical imaging system may have a reduced size.

As an example, the imaging plane 180 may refer to one surface of the image sensor in which light is received.
