Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims the benefit under 35 USC 119(a) of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2023-0028509 filed on Mar. 3, 2023, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.

BACKGROUND

1. Field

The present disclosure relates to an optical imaging system.

2. Description of Related Art

A camera module has become a basic feature in a portable electronic device, including a smartphone.

In order to simulate an optical zoom effect, a method of providing a plurality of camera modules having different focal lengths in a portable electronic device has been proposed.

However, this method not only requires a plurality of camera modules to simulate the optical zoom effect, but the plurality of camera modules have different fields of view, so that when an image is captured at a medium magnification, imaging processing through software rather than optical zoom is needed, resulting in a reduction in image quality.

SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

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 the disclosure of this application. 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 the disclosure of this application, 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 the disclosure of this application.

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.

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,” and “lower” 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 will 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 (for example, rotated by 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.

In the lens configuration diagrams in the drawings, the thicknesses, sizes, and shapes of the lenses may be illustrated in a somewhat exaggerated manner for explanatory purposes, and in particular, the spherical or aspherical shapes shown in the lens configuration diagrams are only presented as examples, and are not limited thereto.

An optical imaging system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may be mounted in a portable electronic device. For example, the optical imaging system may be a component of a camera module mounted in a portable electronic device. The portable electronic device may be a mobile communication terminal, a smartphone, a tablet PC, or any other portable electronic device.

In an optical imaging system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a first lens (or a frontmost lens) refers to a lens closest to an object side of the optical imaging system, and a last lens (or a rearmost lens) refers to a lens closest to an image side (or an imaging plane or an image sensor) of the optical imaging system.

In addition, in each lens of the optical imaging system, a first surface (or an object-side surface) refers to a surface closest to the object side of the optical imaging system, and a second surface refers to a surface closest to the image side of the optical imaging system.

In addition, in the present specification, all numerical values of radiuses of curvature, thicknesses, distance, focal lengths, and other dimensions are represented in millimeters, and fields of view (FOV) are represented in degrees.

Additionally, in an explanation of the shape of each lens, a statement that a surface of a lens is convex means that the surface is convex in a paraxial region of the surface, and a statement that a surface of a lens is concave means that the surface is concave in a paraxial region of the surface.

Accordingly, even if a surface of a lens is described as having a convex shape, an edge portion of the surface may have a concave shape. Similarly, even if a surface of a lens is described as having a concave shape, an edge portion of the surface may have a convex shape.

A paraxial region of a lens surface is a central portion of the lens surface surrounding the optical axis of the lens surface in which light rays incident to the lens surface make a small angle θ to the optical axis, and the approximations sin θ≈θ, tan θ≈θ, and cos θ≈1 are valid.

An imaging plane may refer to an imaginary plane on which an image is focused by the optical imaging system. Alternatively, the imaging plane may refer to a surface of an image sensor on which light is incident through the optical imaging system.

An optical imaging system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a plurality of lens groups. As an example, the optical imaging system may include a first lens group, a second lens group, a third lens group, and a fourth lens group.

Each of the first lens group, the second lens group, and the third lens group includes a plurality of lenses. As an example, the optical imaging system includes at least eight lenses.

In an embodiment, the optical imaging system includes a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, a seventh lens, and an eighth lens sequentially disposed in ascending numerical order along an optical axis of the optical imaging system from an object side of the optical imaging system toward an image side of the optical imaging system.

The optical imaging system may further include a reflective member having a reflective surface for changing an optical path. For example, the reflective member may be a mirror or a prism.

By bending the optical path with the reflective member, a long optical path may be formed in a relatively narrow space. The reflective member is disposed in front of the first lens group.

Therefore, the optical imaging system may be miniaturized and may be made to have a long focal length.

In addition, the optical imaging system may further include an image sensor for converting an incident image of a subject into an electrical signal.

In addition, 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 rearmost lens and the image sensor.

In addition, the optical imaging system may further include a stop disposed between the second lens group and the third lens group. In an embodiment, the stop may be disposed between the fifth lens and the sixth lens.

In an embodiment, the first lens group may include a first lens and a second lens, the second lens group may include a third lens, a fourth lens, and a fifth lens, the third lens group may include a sixth lens and a seventh lens, and the fourth lens group may include an eighth lens. The third lens group may further include a stop disposed in front of the sixth lens.

At least one lens group among the first to fourth lens groups may be moved to change a total focal length of the imaging optical system.

For example, a distance between the first lens group and the second lens group may be variable. For example, the first lens group may be fixedly disposed, and the second lens group may be disposed to be movable along the optical axis of the optical imaging system. direction. As the second lens group moves along the optical axis away from the object side of the optical imaging system toward the image side of the optical imaging system, the total focal length of the optical imaging system is changed from a wide-angle mode to a telephoto mode.

Since the first lens group is located at the front of the optical imaging system, it is easy to implement waterproofing and dustproofing when the first lens group is fixedly disposed.

The first lens group has a positive refractive power overall, and includes at least one lens having a meniscus shape that is convex toward the object side of the optical imaging system.

In an embodiment, the first lens group may include two lenses (e.g., a first lens and a second lens).

The first lens may have a meniscus shape that is convex toward the object side of the optical imaging system. In addition, the second lens may have a meniscus that is convex toward object side the object side of the optical imaging system, or a shape in which both surfaces thereof are convex.

The first lens and the second lens have refractive powers having opposite signs, and a composite focal length of the first lens and the second lens has a positive value.

In addition, the first lens and the second lens may be made of materials having different optical properties. For example, the first lens may be made of a material having a low dispersion coefficient, and the second lens may be made of a material having a high dispersion coefficient. Therefore, a chromatic aberration correction ability of the optical image can be improved. The dispersion coefficient may also be called an Abbe Number.

In an embodiment, the Abbe number of one of the first lens and the second lens may be 50 or more, and the Abbe number of the other one of the first lens and the second lens may be 30 or less.

In an embodiment, the Abbe number of a lens having a positive refractive power among the first lens and the second lens may be 50 or more, and the Abbe number of a lens having a negative refractive power among the first lens and the second lens may be 30 or less.

The second lens group includes a plurality of lenses, and has a negative refractive power overall. The second lens group includes at least one lens having a meniscus shape that is convex toward the image side of the optical imaging system.

In an embodiment, the second lens group includes a third lens, a fourth lens, and a fifth lens. The third lens may have a negative refractive power, and both surfaces of the third lens may be concave. The fourth lens may have a positive refractive power, and may have a meniscus shape that is convex toward the image side of the optical imaging system. The fifth lens may have a positive refractive power, and may have a shape in which both surfaces of the fifth lens are convex, or a meniscus shape that is convex toward the object side of the optical imaging system.

The third lens group includes a stop and a plurality of lenses, and has a positive refractive power overall. The third lens group includes at least one lens having a meniscus shape that is convex toward the object side of the optical imaging system.

Among the plurality of lenses included in the third lens group, a lens disposed closest to a stop (e.g., a lens located directly behind the stop) has a positive refractive power.

A combined focal length of the first lens group and the second lens group may have a negative value. That is, since light passing through the first and second lens groups diverges, among the lenses included in the third lens group, the lens disposed closest to the stop is set to have a positive refractive power so that a diameter of lenses disposed therebehind may be reduced.

In addition, the lens disposed closest to the stop (e.g., the lens located directly behind the stop) has an aspherical surface.

The third lens group may include at least two lenses made of materials having different optical properties. For example, the third lens group may include a lens having an Abbe number of 50 or more and a lens having an Abbe number of 30 or less.

The lens having an Abbe number 50 or more may be disposed closer to the second lens group than the lens having an Abbe number 30 or less. The lens having an Abbe number of 50 or more may have a positive refractive power, and the lens having an Abbe number of 30 or less may have a negative refractive power.

In an embodiment, the third lens group includes a stop, a sixth lens, and a seventh lens.

The sixth lens has a shape in which both surfaces thereof may be convex and has a positive refractive power. The seventh lens may have a meniscus shape that is convex toward the object side of the optical imaging system and may have a negative refractive power.

The third lens group may be fixedly disposed so that it does not move when the second lens group is moved to change a total focal length of the optical imaging system.

The fourth lens group includes at least one lens and has a positive refractive power overall. The fourth lens group includes at least one lens having a meniscus shape that is convex toward the object side of the optical imaging system.

The fourth lens group may include at least one lens having an Abbe number of 50 or more.

In an embodiment, the fourth lens group includes an eighth lens.

The eighth lens has a meniscus shape that is convex toward the object side of the optical imaging system and may have a positive refractive power.

All of the lenses included in the first to fourth lens groups may be made of plastic. In an embodiment, all of the lenses included in the first to fourth lens groups may have a refractive index of 1.7 or less and an Abbe number of 20 to 60.

At least one lens group among the first to fourth lens groups may be moved to correct a focus position according to a change in the total focal length of the optical imaging system.

For example, the fourth lens group may be disposed to be movable along the optical axis of the optical imaging system. As the fourth lens group moves along the optical axis, a distance between the third lens group and the fourth lens group and a distance between the fourth lens group and the image sensor are changed.

When the total focal length of the optical imaging system is changed from the wide-angle mode to the telephoto mode by moving the second lens group along the optical axis, the fourth lens group is also moved along the optical axis to correct a focus position.

More specifically, when the second lens group is moved along the optical axis to change the total focal length of the optical imaging system, thereby performing an optical zoom function, the fourth lens group is also moved along the optical axis to correct the focus position as the total focal length of the optical imaging system changes.

Therefore, the optical imaging system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure has an optical zoom function.

The optical imaging system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure has characteristics of a telephoto lens having a relatively narrow field of view and a long focal length.

Lenses included in the first to fourth lens groups have at least one aspherical surface.

For example, each of the first to eighth lenses may have at least one aspherical surface.

That is, at least one of an object-side surface and an image-side surface of the first to eighth lenses may be aspherical. The aspherical surfaces of the first to eighth lenses are represented by Equation 1 below.

$\begin{array}{cc}Z=\frac{{\mathrm{cY}}^2}{1+\sqrt{1-\left(1+K\right)c^2{Y}^2}}+{\mathrm{AY}}^4+{\mathrm{BY}}^6+{\mathrm{CY}}^8+{\mathrm{DY}}^{10}+{\mathrm{EY}}^{12}+{\mathrm{FY}}^{14}+{\mathrm{GY}}^{16}+{\mathrm{HY}}^{18}+{\mathrm{JY}}^{20}+{\mathrm{LY}}^{22}+{\mathrm{MY}}^{24}+{\mathrm{NY}}^{26}+{\mathrm{OY}}^{28}+{\mathrm{PY}}^{30}& \left(1\right)\end{array}$

In Equation 1, c is a curvature of the lens and is equal to a reciprocal of a radius of curvature of the lens surface at an optical axis of the lens surface, K is a conic constant, and Y is a distance from any point on the aspherical surface of the lens to the optical axis. In addition, constants A to H, J, and L to P are aspherical surface coefficients. Z (also known as sag) is a distance in a direction parallel to an optical axis direction between the point on the aspherical surface of the lens at the distance Y from the optical axis of the aspherical surface to a tangential plane perpendicular to the optical axis and intersecting a vertex of the aspherical surface.

The optical imaging system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may further include a reflective member having a reflective surface for changing an optical path. As an example, the reflective member may be a mirror or a prism.

By bending the optical path with the reflective member, a long optical path may be formed in a relatively narrow space.

The reflective member is disposed in front of the first lens group. The reflective member may be rotated around two axes to correct shaking during shooting.

That is, when shaking occurs due to factors such as a user's hand shaking when shooting an image or a video, the shaking may be compensated by rotating the reflective member around the two axes in response to the shaking.

Since the reflective member has a relatively lighter weight than the optical imaging system, shaking may be easily compensated with less driving force by moving the reflective member rather than the entire optical imaging system.

The optical imaging system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may satisfy any one or any combination of any two or more of the following conditional expressions.

$\begin{array}{cc}\mathrm{SD}/\mathrm{IMG}\le 1.2& \left(\mathrm{Conditional}\mathrm{Expression}1\right)\end{array}$ $\begin{array}{cc}\mathrm{EPDt}/\left(2\times \mathrm{IMG}\mathrm{HT}\right)\le 1.5& \left(\mathrm{Conditional}\mathrm{Expression}2\right)\end{array}$ $\begin{array}{cc}0.3\le \mathrm{LG3i}/L\le 0.7& \left(\mathrm{Conditional}\mathrm{Expression}3\right)\end{array}$ $\begin{array}{cc}\mathrm{LG34}/\mathrm{LG3i}\le 0.4& \left(\mathrm{Conditional}\mathrm{Expression}4\right)\end{array}$ $\begin{array}{cc}-1.2\le \mathrm{fG2}/\mathrm{fG4}\le -0.7& \left(\mathrm{Conditional}\mathrm{Expression}5\right)\end{array}$ $\begin{array}{cc}0.8\le \mathrm{Fnot}/\mathrm{Fnow}\le 1.3& \left(\mathrm{Conditional}\mathrm{Expression}6\right)\end{array}$

In an embodiment, the optical imaging system may satisfy the conditional expression SD/IMG HT≤1.2, where SD is a radius of the stop, and IMG HT one half of a diagonal length of the imaging plane.

Since the optical imaging system includes a reflective member, an optical path of light incident on the reflective member is changed by 90° by the reflective member to be incident on a plurality of lenses. This enables optical axes of the plurality of lenses to be disposed perpendicular to a thickness direction of a portable electronic device so that the number of lenses does not affect the thickness of the portable electronic device. However, in this case, diameters of the plurality of lenses may affect the thickness of the portable electronic device.

Therefore, the optical imaging system may satisfy the conditional expression SD/IMG HT≤1.2 so that the diameter of the plurality of lenses may be reduced while securing an appropriate level of resolution.

In an embodiment, the optical imaging system may satisfy the conditional expression EPDt/(2×IMG HT)≤1.5, where EPDt is an entrance pupil diameter in the telephoto mode.

If the entrance pupil becomes too large in the telephoto mode, an amount of light increases and images may be taken brightly, but aberrations rapidly increase and resolution deteriorates. Therefore, the optical imaging system may satisfy the conditional expression EPDt/(2×IMG HT)≤1.5 so that aberrations may be easily corrected while capturing sufficiently bright images.

In an embodiment, the optical imaging system may satisfy the conditional expression 0.3≤LG3i/L≤0.7, where LG3i is a distance on the optical axis from an object-side surface of the first lens among lenses included in the third lens group to an imaging plane, and L is a distance on the optical axis from the first surface of the reflective member to the imaging plane.

This condition is related to an amount of movement of the second lens group, which is a variator. The optical imaging system may satisfy the conditional expression 0.3≤LG3i/L≤0.7 so that a distance between the first lens group and the third lens group may set to an appropriate value.

If LG3i/L is less than the lower limit of 0.3 of the conditional expression 0.3≤LG3i/L≤0.7, the amount of movement of the second lens group may be too small to enable aberrations to be sufficiently corrected. Conversely, if LG3i/L is greater than the upper limit of 0.7 of the conditional expression 0.3≤LG3i/L≤0.7, the amount of movement of the second lens group may be large enough to enable aberrations to be sufficiently corrected, but there is a problem a total track length of the optical system becomes too long.

In an embodiment, the optical imaging system may satisfy the conditional expression LG34/LG3i≤0.4, where LG34 is a distance on the optical axis from an image-side surface of the last lens among lenses included in the third lens in a telephoto mode to an object-side surface of the first lens among lenses included in the fourth lens group, and LG3i is a distance on the optical axis from an object-side surface of the first lens among lenses included in the third lens group to an imaging plane.

The fourth lens group may be moved to correct a focus position according to a change in a total focal length of the optical imaging system. The optical imaging system may satisfy the conditional expression LG34/LG3i≤0.4 so that even if the total focal length is changed, it is possible to ensure that there is no change in field curvature.

In an embodiment, the optical imaging system may satisfy the conditional expression −1.2≤fG2/fG4≤−0.7, where fG2 is a focal length of the second lens group, and fG4 is a focal length of the fourth lens group.

The second lens group and the fourth lens group are configured to move along the optical axis. If a difference in focal length between the second and fourth lens groups is large, there is a problem in which assembly sensitivity of the second or fourth lens group increases.

For example, fG2/fG4 is greater than the upper limit of −0.7 of the conditional expression-1.2≤fG2/fG4≤−0.7, the focal length of the second lens group is relatively short and the focal length of the fourth lens group is relatively long. In this case, the assembly sensitivity of the second lens group increases. Conversely, it fG2/fG4 is less than the lower limit of −1.2 of the conditional expression-1.2≤fG2/fG4≤−0.7, the focal length of the second lens group may be relatively long and the focal length of the fourth lens group may be relatively short. In this case, the assembly sensitivity of the fourth lens group increases.

In an embodiment, the optical imaging system may satisfy the conditional expression 0.8≤Fnot/Fnow≤1.3, where Fnot is an Fno of the optical imaging system in the telephoto mode, and Fnow is an Fno of the optical imaging system in the wide-angle mode.

Generally, the Fno in the telephoto mode is larger than the Fno in the wide-angle mode. As the Fno of the optical imaging system increases, the amount of light decreases, resulting in a darker image. In this case, the image quality is more affected by shaking such as the user's hand shaking. Therefore, it is necessary to design the optical imaging system so that the difference in Fno between the wide-angle mode and the telephoto mode is reduced. Therefore, the optical imaging system can relatively reduce the change in Fno due to magnification by satisfying the conditional expression 0.8≤Fnot/Fnow≤1.

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a wide-angle mode of an optical imaging system according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure, FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a normal mode of the optical imaging system of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a telephoto mode of the optical imaging system of FIG. 1.

An optical imaging system according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

The optical imaging system according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure includes a first lens group G1, a second lens group G2, a third lens group G3, and a fourth lens group G4. The optical imaging system further includes a reflective member P disposed in front of the first lens group G1.

The first lens group G1 includes a first lens 101 and a second lens 102, the second lens group G2 includes a third lens 103, a fourth lens 104, and a fifth lens 105, the third lens group G3 includes a stop, a sixth lens 106, and a seventh lens 107, and the fourth lens group G4 includes an eighth lens 108 sequentially disposed from an object side of the optical imaging system.

In addition, the optical imaging system may further include a filter 109 and an image sensor IS.

The optical imaging system according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure may focus an image on an imaging plane 110. The imaging plane 110 may refer to a surface on which an image is focused by the optical imaging system. As an example, the imaging plane 110 may refer to one surface of the image sensor IS on which light is incident through the optical imaging system.

In the first embodiment of the present disclosure, the reflective member P may be a prism, but may also be provided as a mirror.

At least one lens group among the first to fourth lens groups G1 to G4 may be moved to change a total focal length of the optical imaging system. For example, the first lens group G1 and the third lens group G3 are fixed and the second lens group G2 is movable along the optical axis so that the total focal length of the optical imaging system may be changed. That is, as the second lens group G2 moves away from the object side of the optical imaging system toward an image side of the optical imaging system, the total focal length of the optical imaging system may be changed from the wide-angle mode to the normal mode, and then from the normal mode to the telephoto mode.

In addition, at least one lens group among the first to fourth lens groups G1 to G4 may be moved to correct a focus position according to a change in the total focal length of the optical imaging system. For example, when the total focal length of the optical imaging system is changed from the wide-angle mode to the telephoto mode, the fourth lens group G4 may be moved along the optical axis to correct the focus position.

Characteristics of each lens including a radius of curvature, a thickness of a lens or a distance between lenses, a refractive index, an Abbe number, and an effective radius are illustrated in Table 1 below.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a wide-angle mode of an optical imaging system according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure, FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a normal mode of the optical imaging system of FIG. 4, and FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a telephoto mode of the optical imaging system of FIG. 4.

An optical imaging system according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6.

The optical imaging system according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure includes a first lens group G1, a second lens group G2, a third lens group G3, and a fourth lens group G4. The optical imaging system further includes a reflective member P disposed in front of the first lens group G1.

The first lens group G1 includes a first lens 201 and a second lens 202, the second lens group G2 includes a third lens 203, a fourth lens 204, and a fifth lens 205, the third lens group G3 includes a stop, a sixth lens 206, and a seventh lens 207, and the fourth lens group G4 includes an eighth lens 208 sequentially disposed from an object side of the optical imaging system.

In addition, the optical imaging system may further include a filter 209 and an image sensor IS.

The optical imaging system according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure may focus an image on an imaging plane 210. The imaging plane 210 may refer to a surface on which an image is focused by the optical imaging system. As an example, the imaging plane 210 may refer to one surface of the image sensor IS on which light is incident through the optical imaging system.

In the second embodiment of the present disclosure, the reflective member P may be a prism, but may also be provided as a mirror.

At least one lens group among the first to fourth lens groups G1 to G4 may be moved to change a total focal length of the optical imaging system. For example, the first lens group G1 and the third lens group G3 are fixed and the second lens group G2 is movable along the optical axis so that the total focal length of the optical imaging system may be changed. That is, as the second lens group G2 moves away from the object side of the optical imaging system toward an image side of the optical imaging system, the total focal length of the optical imaging system may be changed from the wide-angle mode to the normal mode, and then from the normal mode to the telephoto mode.

In addition, at least one lens group among the first to fourth lens groups G1 to G4 may be moved to correct a focus position according to a change in the total focal length of the optical imaging system. For example, when the total focal length of the optical imaging system is changed from the wide-angle mode to the telephoto mode, the fourth lens group G4 may be moved along the optical axis to correct the focus position.

Characteristics of each lens including a radius of curvature, a thickness of a lens or a distance between lenses, a refractive index, an Abbe number, and an effective radius are illustrated in Table 4 below.

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a wide-angle mode of an optical imaging system according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure, FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a normal mode of the optical imaging system of FIG. 7, and FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a telephoto mode of the optical imaging system of FIG. 7.

An optical imaging system according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 9.

The optical imaging system according to the third embodiment of the present disclosure includes a first lens group G1, a second lens group G2, a third lens group G3, and a fourth lens group G4. The optical imaging system further includes a reflective member P disposed in front of the first lens group G1.

The first lens group G1 includes a first lens 301 and a second lens 302, the second lens group G2 includes a third lens 303, a fourth lens 304, and a fifth lens 305, the third lens group G3 includes a stop, a sixth lens 306, and a seventh lens 307, and the fourth lens group G4 includes an eighth lens 308 sequentially disposed from an object side of the optical imaging system.

In addition, the optical imaging system may further include a filter 309 and an image sensor IS.

The optical imaging system according to the third embodiment of the present disclosure may focus an image on an imaging plane 310. The imaging plane 310 may refer to a surface on which an image is focused by the optical imaging system. As an example, the imaging plane 310 may refer to one surface of the image sensor IS on which light is incident through the optical imaging system.

In the third embodiment of the present disclosure, the reflective member P may be a prism, but may also be provided as a mirror.

At least one lens group among the first to fourth lens groups G1 to G4 may be moved to change a total focal length of the optical imaging system. For example, the first lens group G1 and the third lens group G3 are fixed and the second lens group G2 is movable along the optical axis so that the total focal length of the optical imaging system may be changed. That is, as the second lens group G2 moves away from the object side of the optical imaging system toward an image side of the optical imaging system, the total focal length of the optical imaging system may be changed from the wide-angle mode to the normal mode, and then from the normal mode to the telephoto mode.

In addition, at least one lens group among the first to fourth lens groups G1 to G4 may be moved to correct a focus position according to a change in the total focal length of the optical imaging system. For example, when the total focal length of the optical imaging system is changed from the wide-angle mode to the telephoto mode, the fourth lens group G4 may be moved along the optical axis to correct the focus position.

Characteristics of each lens including a radius of curvature, a thickness of a lens or a distance between lenses, a refractive index, an Abbe number, and an effective radius are illustrated in Table 7 below.

FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a wide-angle mode of an optical imaging system according to a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure, FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a normal mode of the optical imaging system of FIG. 10, and FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a telephoto mode of the optical imaging system of FIG. 10.

An optical imaging system according to a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 to 12.

The optical imaging system according to the fourth embodiment of the present disclosure includes a first lens group G1, a second lens group G2, a third lens group G3, and a fourth lens group G4. The optical imaging system further includes a reflective member P disposed in front of the first lens group G1.

The first lens group G1 includes a first lens 401 and a second lens 402, the second lens group G2 includes a third lens 403, a fourth lens 404, and a fifth lens 405, the third lens group G3 includes a stop, a sixth lens 406, and a seventh lens 407, and the fourth lens group G4 includes an eighth lens 408 sequentially disposed from an object side of the optical imaging system.

In addition, the optical imaging system may further include a filter 409 and an image sensor IS.

The optical imaging system according to the fourth embodiment of the present disclosure may focus an image on an imaging plane 410. The imaging plane 410 may refer to a surface on which an image is focused by the optical imaging system. As an example, the imaging plane 410 may refer to one surface of the image sensor IS on which light is incident through the optical imaging system.

In the fourth embodiment of the present disclosure, the reflective member P may be a prism, but may also be provided as a mirror.

At least one lens group among the first to fourth lens groups G1 to G4 may be moved to change a total focal length of the optical imaging system. For example, the first lens group G1 and the third lens group G3 are fixed and the second lens group G2 is movable along the optical axis so that the total focal length of the optical imaging system may be changed. That is, as the second lens group G2 moves away from the object side of the optical imaging system toward an image side of the optical imaging system, the total focal length of the optical imaging system may be changed from the wide-angle mode to the normal mode, and then from the normal mode to the telephoto mode.

In addition, at least one lens group among the first to fourth lens groups G1 to G4 may be moved to correct a focus position according to a change in the total focal length of the optical imaging system. For example, when the total focal length of the optical imaging system is changed from the wide-angle mode to the telephoto mode, the fourth lens group G4 may be moved along the optical axis to correct the focus position.

Characteristics of each lens including a radius of curvature, a thickness of a lens or a distance between lenses, a refractive index, an Abbe number, and an effective radius are illustrated in Table 10 below.

FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a wide-angle mode of an optical imaging system according to a fifth embodiment of the present disclosure, FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating a normal mode of the optical imaging system of FIG. 13, and FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating a telephoto mode of the optical imaging system of FIG. 13.

An optical imaging system according to a fifth embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 to 15.

The optical imaging system according to the fifth embodiment of the present disclosure includes a first lens group G1, a second lens group G2, a third lens group G3, and a fourth lens group G4. The optical imaging system further includes a reflective member P disposed in front of the first lens group G1.

The first lens group G1 includes a first lens 501 and a second lens 502, the second lens group G2 includes a third lens 503, a fourth lens 504, and a fifth lens 505, the third lens group G3 includes a stop, a sixth lens 506, and a seventh lens 507, and the fourth lens group G4 includes an eighth lens 508 sequentially disposed from an object side of the optical imaging system.

In addition, the optical imaging system may further include a filter 509 and an image sensor IS.

The optical imaging system according to the fifth embodiment of the present disclosure may focus an image on an imaging plane 510. The imaging plane 510 may refer to a surface on which an image is focused by the optical imaging system. As an example, the imaging plane 510 may refer to one surface of the image sensor IS on which light is incident through the optical imaging system.

In the fifth embodiment of the present disclosure, the reflective member P may be a prism, but may also be provided as a mirror.

At least one lens group among the first to fourth lens groups G1 to G4 may be moved to change a total focal length of the optical imaging system. For example, the first lens group G1 and the third lens group G3 are fixed and the second lens group G2 is movable along the optical axis so that the total focal length of the optical imaging system may be changed. That is, as the second lens group G2 moves away from the object side of the optical imaging system toward an image side of the optical imaging system, the total focal length of the optical imaging system may be changed from the wide-angle mode to the normal mode, and then from the normal mode to the telephoto mode.

In addition, at least one lens group among the first to fourth lens groups G1 to G4 may be moved to correct a focus position according to a change in the total focal length of the optical imaging system. For example, when the total focal length of the optical imaging system is changed from the wide-angle mode to the telephoto mode, the fourth lens group G4 may be moved along the optical axis to correct the focus position.

Characteristics of each lens including a radius of curvature, a thickness of a lens or a distance between lenses, a refractive index, an Abbe number, and an effective radius are illustrated in Table 13 below.

FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating a wide-angle mode of an optical imaging system according to a sixth embodiment of the present disclosure, FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating a normal mode of the optical imaging system of FIG. 16, and FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating a telephoto mode of the optical imaging system of FIG. 16.

An optical imaging system according to a sixth embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS. 16 to 18.

The optical imaging system according to the sixth embodiment of the present disclosure includes a first lens group G1, a second lens group G2, a third lens group G3, and a fourth lens group G4. The optical imaging system further includes a reflective member P disposed in front of the first lens group G1.

The first lens group G1 includes a first lens 601 and a second lens 602, the second lens group G2 includes a third lens 603, a fourth lens 604, and a fifth lens 605, the third lens group G3 includes a stop, a sixth lens 606, and a seventh lens 607, and the fourth lens group G4 includes an eighth lens 608 sequentially disposed from an object side of the optical imaging system.

In addition, the optical imaging system may further include a filter 609 and an image sensor IS.

The optical imaging system according to the sixth embodiment of the present disclosure may focus an image on an imaging plane 610. The imaging plane 610 may refer to a surface on which an image is focused by the optical imaging system. As an example, the imaging plane 610 may refer to one surface of the image sensor IS on which light is incident through the optical imaging system.

In the sixth embodiment of the present disclosure, the reflective member P may be a prism, but may also be provided as a mirror.

At least one lens group among the first to fourth lens groups G1 to G4 may be moved to change a total focal length of the optical imaging system. For example, the first lens group G1 and the third lens group G3 are fixed and the second lens group G2 is movable along the optical axis so that the total focal length of the optical imaging system may be changed. That is, as the second lens group G2 moves away from the object side of the optical imaging system toward an image side of the optical imaging system, the total focal length of the optical imaging system may be changed from the wide-angle mode to the normal mode, and then from the normal mode to the telephoto mode.

In addition, at least one lens group among the first to fourth lens groups G1 to G4 may be moved to correct a focus position according to a change in the total focal length of the optical imaging system. For example, when the total focal length of the optical imaging system is changed from the wide-angle mode to the telephoto mode, the fourth lens group G4 may be moved along the optical axis to correct the focus position.

Characteristics of each lens including a radius of curvature, a thickness of a lens or a distance between lenses, a refractive index, an Abbe number, and an effective radius are illustrated in Table 16 below.

FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating a wide-angle mode of an optical imaging system according to a seventh embodiment of the present disclosure, FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating a normal mode of the optical imaging system of FIG. 19, and FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating a telephoto mode of the optical imaging system of FIG. 19.

An optical imaging system according to a seventh embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS. 19 to 21.

The optical imaging system according to the seventh embodiment of the present disclosure includes a first lens group G1, a second lens group G2, a third lens group G3, and a fourth lens group G4. The optical imaging system further includes a reflective member P disposed in front of the first lens group G1.

The first lens group G1 includes a first lens 701 and a second lens 702, the second lens group G2 includes a third lens 703, a fourth lens 704, and a fifth lens 705, the third lens group G3 includes a stop, a sixth lens 706, and a seventh lens 707, and the fourth lens group G4 includes an eighth lens 708 sequentially disposed from an object side of the optical imaging system.

In addition, the optical imaging system may further include a filter 709 and an image sensor IS.

The optical imaging system according to the seventh embodiment of the present disclosure may focus an image on an imaging plane 710. The imaging plane 710 may refer to a surface on which an image is focused by the optical imaging system. As an example, the imaging plane 710 may refer to one surface of the image sensor IS on which light is incident through the optical imaging system.

In the seventh embodiment of the present disclosure, the reflective member P may be a prism, but may also be provided as a mirror.

At least one lens group among the first to fourth lens groups G1 to G4 may be moved to change a total focal length of the optical imaging system. For example, the first lens group G1 and the third lens group G3 are fixed and the second lens group G2 is movable along the optical axis so that the total focal length of the optical imaging system may be changed. That is, as the second lens group G2 moves away from the object side of the optical imaging system toward an image side of the optical imaging system, the total focal length of the optical imaging system may be changed from the wide-angle mode to the normal mode, and then from the normal mode to the telephoto mode.

In addition, at least one lens group among the first to fourth lens groups G1 to G4 may be moved to correct a focus position according to a change in the total focal length of the optical imaging system. For example, when the total focal length of the optical imaging system is changed from the wide-angle mode to the telephoto mode, the fourth lens group G4 may be moved along the optical axis to correct the focus position.

Characteristics of each lens including a radius of curvature, a thickness of a lens or a distance between lenses, a refractive index, an Abbe number, and an effective radius are illustrated in Table 19 below.

FIG. 22 is a diagram illustrating a wide-angle mode of an optical imaging system according to an eighth embodiment of the present disclosure, FIG. 23 is a diagram illustrating a normal mode of the optical imaging system of FIG. 22, and FIG. 24 is a diagram illustrating a telephoto mode of the optical imaging system of FIG. 22.

An optical imaging system according to an eighth embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS. 22 to 24.

The optical imaging system according to the eighth embodiment of the present disclosure includes a first lens group G1, a second lens group G2, a third lens group G3, and a fourth lens group G4. The optical imaging system further includes a reflective member P disposed in front of the first lens group G1.

The first lens group G1 includes a first lens 801 and a second lens 802, the second lens group G2 includes a third lens 803, a fourth lens 804, and a fifth lens 805, the third lens group G3 includes a stop, a sixth lens 806, and a seventh lens 807, and the fourth lens group G4 includes an eighth lens 808 sequentially disposed from an object side of the optical imaging system.

In addition, the optical imaging system may further include a filter 809 and an image sensor IS.

The optical imaging system according to the eighth embodiment of the present disclosure may focus an image on an imaging plane 810. The imaging plane 810 may refer to a surface on which an image is focused by the optical imaging system. As an example, the imaging plane 810 may refer to one surface of the image sensor IS on which light is received incident through the optical imaging system.

In the eighth embodiment of the present disclosure, the reflective member P may be a prism, but may also be provided as a mirror.

At least one lens group among the first to fourth lens groups G1 to G4 may be moved to change a total focal length of the optical imaging system. For example, the first lens group G1 and the third lens group G3 are fixed and the second lens group G2 is movable along the optical axis so that the total focal length of the optical imaging system may be changed. That is, as the second lens group G2 moves away from the object side of the optical imaging system toward an image side of the optical imaging system, the total focal length of the optical imaging system may be changed from the wide-angle mode to the normal mode, and then from the normal mode to the telephoto mode.

In addition, at least one lens group among the first to fourth lens groups G1 to G4 may be moved to correct a focus position according to a change in the total focal length of the optical imaging system. For example, when the total focal length of the optical imaging system is changed from the wide-angle mode to the telephoto mode, the fourth lens group G4 may be moved along the optical axis to correct the focus position.

Characteristics of each lens including a radius of curvature, a thickness of a lens or a distance between lenses, a refractive index, an Abbe number, and an effective radius are illustrated in Table 22 below.

FIG. 25 is a diagram illustrating a wide-angle mode of an optical imaging system according to a ninth embodiment of the present disclosure, FIG. 26 is a diagram illustrating a normal mode of the optical imaging system of FIG. 25, and FIG. 27 is a diagram illustrating a telephoto mode of the optical imaging system of FIG. 25.

An optical imaging system according to a ninth embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS. 25 to 27.

The optical imaging system according to the ninth embodiment of the present disclosure includes a first lens group G1, a second lens group G2, a third lens group G3, and a fourth lens group G4. The optical imaging system further includes a reflection member P disposed in front of the first lens group G1.

The first lens group G1 includes a first lens 901 and a second lens 902, the second lens group G2 includes a third lens 903 and a fourth lens 904, and a fifth lens 905, the third lens group G3 includes a stop, a sixth lens 906, and a seventh lens 907, and the fourth lens group G4 includes an eighth lens 908 sequentially disposed from an object side of the optical imaging system.

In addition, the optical imaging system may further include a filter 909 and an image sensor IS.

The optical imaging system according to the ninth embodiment of the present disclosure may focus an image on an imaging plane 910. The imaging plane 910 may refer to a surface on an image is focused by the optical imaging system. As an example, the imaging plane 910 may refer to one surface of the image sensor IS on which light is incident through the optical imaging system.

In the ninth embodiment of the present disclosure, the reflective member P may be a prism, but may also be provided as a mirror.

At least one lens group among the first to fourth lens groups G1 to G4 may be moved to change a total focal length of the optical imaging system. For example, the first lens group G1 and the third lens group G3 are fixed and the second lens group G2 is movable along the optical axis so that the total focal length of the optical imaging system may be changed. That is, as the second lens group G2 moves away from the object side of the optical imaging system toward an image side of the optical imaging system, the total focal length of the optical imaging system may be changed from the wide-angle mode to the normal mode, and then from the normal mode to the telephoto mode.

In addition, at least one lens group among the first to fourth lens groups G1 to G4 may be moved to correct a focus position according to a change in the total focal length of the optical imaging system. For example, when the total focal length of the optical imaging system is changed from the wide-angle mode to the telephoto mode, the fourth lens group G4 may be moved along the optical axis to correct the focus position.

Characteristics of each lens including a radius of curvature, a thickness of a lens or a distance between lenses, a refractive index, an Abbe number, and an effective radius are illustrated in Table 25 below.

FIG. 28 is a diagram illustrating a wide-angle mode of an optical imaging system according to a tenth embodiment of the present disclosure, FIG. 29 is a diagram illustrating a normal mode of the optical imaging system of FIG. 28, and FIG. 30 is a diagram illustrating a telephoto mode of an optical imaging system of FIG. 28.

An optical imaging system according to a tenth embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS. 28 to 30.

The optical imaging system according to the tenth embodiment of the present disclosure includes a first lens group G1, a second lens group G2, a third lens group G3, and a fourth lens group G4. The optical imaging system further includes a reflective member P disposed in front of the first lens group G1.

The first lens group G1 includes a first lens 1001 and a second lens 1002, the second lens group G2 includes a third lens 1003, a fourth lens 1004, and a fifth lens 1005, the third lens G3 includes a stop, a sixth lens 1006, and a seventh lens 1007, and the fourth lens G4 includes an eighth lens 1008 sequentially disposed from an object side of the optical imaging system.

In addition, the optical imaging system may further include a filter 1009 and an image sensor IS.

The optical imaging system according to the tenth embodiment of the present disclosure may focus an image on an imaging plane 1010. The imaging plane 1010 may refer to a surface on which an image is focused by the optical imaging system. As an example, the imaging plane 1010 may refer to one surface of the image sensor IS on which light is incident through the optical imaging system.

In the tenth embodiment of the present disclosure, the reflective member P may be a prism, but may also be provided as a mirror.

At least one lens group among the first to fourth lens groups G1 to G4 may be moved to change a total focal length of the optical imaging system. For example, the first lens group G1 and the third lens group G3 are fixed and the second lens group G2 is movable along the optical axis so that the total focal length of the optical imaging system may be changed. That is, as the second lens group G2 moves away from the object side of the optical imaging system toward an image side of the optical imaging system, the total focal length of the optical imaging system may be changed from the wide-angle mode to the normal mode, and then from the normal mode to the telephoto mode.

In addition, at least one lens group among the first to fourth lens groups G1 to G4 may be moved to correct a focus position according to a change in the total focal length of the optical imaging system. For example, when the total focal length of the optical imaging system is changed from the wide-angle mode to the telephoto mode, the fourth lens group G4 may be moved along the optical axis to correct the focus position.

Characteristics of each lens including a radius of curvature, a thickness of a lens or a distance between lenses, a refractive index, an Abbe number, and an effective radius are illustrated in Table 28 below.
