DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Referring now to the accompanying drawings, a description will be given of embodiments according to the disclosure. Before specific Examples 1 to 6 are described, a description will now be given of matters common to each of examples.

The optical system according to each example is used in various image pickup apparatuses such as digital still cameras, digital video cameras, security cameras, and in-vehicle (on-board) cameras.

FIGS. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 illustrate the configurations of the optical system according to Examples 1 to 6, respectively. In each figure, a left side is an object side, and a right side is an image side. The optical system according to each example includes a plurality of lenses (six or more) including a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, and a sixth lens arranged from the object side to the image side. An aperture stop SP is disposed between the first lens and the second lens.

FL represents an optical block, such as an optical filter, a low-pass filter, an infrared cut filter, etc. IP represents an image plane. An imaging surface (light receiving surface) of an image sensor, which is a photoelectric conversion element such as a CCD sensor or a CMOS sensor, or a film plane (photosensitive surface) of a silver film is disposed on the image plane IP.

A description will now be given of the conditions that the optical system according to each example may satisfy.

The following inequalities are satisfied:

$\begin{array}{cc}-0.59\le S23<0.& \left(1\right)\end{array}$ $\begin{array}{cc}1.5\le f2/f\le 3.& \left(2\right)\end{array}$

where R2i is a radius of curvature of a surface on the image side of the second lens, R3o is a radius of curvature of a surface on the object side of the third lens, and S23=(R2i+R3o)/(R2i−R3o), f is a focal length of the optical system, and f2 is a focal length of the second lens.

Inequality (1) defines a proper relationship between a surface shape on the image side of the second lens and a surface shape on the object side of the third lens. S23 is also called a shape factor of an air lens between the surface on the image side of the second lens and the surface on the object side of the third lens. In a case where the radius of curvature of the surface on the image side of the second lens becomes small so that S23 becomes lower than the lower limit of inequality (1), the edge portion of the second lens becomes locally thin by forming a tapered portion to be engaged with a tapered portion of the third lens. In a case where S23 becomes higher than the upper limit of inequality (1), the radius of curvature of the surface on the image side of the second lens becomes large, the refractive power becomes low, and coma significantly occurs and is difficult to correct. Satisfying inequality (1) can improve the molding stability of the lens (in particular a lens having a tapered portion on its edge portion) disposed near the aperture stop SP and satisfactorily correct coma.

Inequality (2) defines a proper relationship between the on-axis focal length f in the optical system and the focal length f2 of the second lens. In a case where f2/f becomes lower than the lower limit of inequality (2), the refractive power of the second lens increases. In this case, in a case where the lens thickness of the second lens is maintained, the radius of curvature of the lens surface reduces, and the edge portion becomes thinner. In a case where f2/f becomes higher than the upper limit of inequality (2), the refractive power of the second lens reduces. As a result, large spherical aberration occurs and is difficult to correct.

The above configuration satisfying the above conditions can realize an optical system that has a reduced size, a wide angle of view, and high optical performance, and secures the lens molding stability.

The optical system according to each example may satisfy at least one of the following inequalities (3) to (8).

FIG. 13 illustrates a taper angle θ of a lens. In each example, taper portions TS formed on edge portions E of at least two adjacent lenses are brought into contact (engaged) with each other to avoid relative decentering of these lenses. The edge portions E are the end portions of the lenses outside the optical effective diameter, which will be described later. The taper angle θ of the taper portion TS is an angle between the taper portion TS and a plane perpendicular to the central axis (optical axis AXL) of the lens.

FIG. 14 illustrates a sag amount Sag of a lens. The sag amount Sag is a length in the optical axis direction from a vertex of a lens surface (such as a point on the optical axis AXL) to the point (position) of the optical effective diameter Ea. The optical effective diameter is a radius of the area of the lens surface through which light rays that contribute to imaging pass.

As described above, in a case where the taper portions provided on the edge portions of adjacent lenses contact each other, the following inequality (3) may be satisfied:

$\begin{array}{cc}0.<\cos \theta \le 0.77& \left(3\right)\end{array}$

where θ is the taper angle of the taper portion relative to the plane perpendicular to the optical axis.

Inequality (3) defines a proper range of the taper angle θ. In a case where θ becomes lower than the lower limit of inequality (3), the taper angle θ becomes 90° or more. As a result, a wedge portion shape is required at the edge portion, and the lens molding stability lowers. In a case where θ becomes higher than the upper limit of inequality (3), the engagement length at the taper portion is reduced, and the lens is likely to tilt relative to the plane perpendicular to the optical axis.

The following inequality (4) may be satisfied:

$\begin{array}{cc}1.66\le \mathrm{dE}23/d23\le 4.56& \left(4\right)\end{array}$

where d23 is a distance on the optical axis between the second lens and the third lens, dE23 is a distance in the optical axis direction at the position of the optical effective diameter of each of the second lens and the third lens.

Inequality (4) defines a proper relationship between the distance d23 on the optical axis between the second lens and the third lens and the distance dE23 at the position of the optical effective diameter. In a case where dE23/d23 becomes lower than the lower limit of inequality (4), the curvature of the second or third lens reduces, the refractive power reduces, and the correction of spherical aberration becomes difficult. In a case where dE23/d23 becomes higher than the upper limit of inequality (4), the optical effective diameter becomes large relative to the distance on the optical axis between the second and third lenses. As a result, the thickness of the edge portion becomes large relative to the lens thickness within the optical effective diameter, and the lens thickness becomes thin, and the lens molding stability reduces.

The following inequality (5) may be satisfied:

$\begin{array}{cc}0.4\le \mathrm{dE}34/d34\le 2.& \left(5\right)\end{array}$

where d34 is a distance on the optical axis between the third lens and the fourth lens, and dE34 is a distance in the optical axis direction at the position of the optical effective diameter of each of the third lens and the fourth lens.

Inequality (5) defines a proper relationship between the distance d34 on the optical axis between the third lens and the fourth lens and the distance dE34 at the position of the optical effective diameter. In a case where dE34/d34 becomes lower than the lower limit of inequality (5), the curvature of the third lens or the fourth lens reduces, the refractive power reduces, and it becomes difficult to correct the distortion. In a case where dE34/d34 becomes higher than the upper limit of inequality (5), the optical effective diameter becomes large relative to the distance on the optical axis between the third and fourth lenses. As a result, the thickness of the edge portion becomes large relative to the lens thickness within the optical effective diameter, the lens thickness becomes thin, and the lens molding stability reduces.

The following inequality (6) may be satisfied:

$\begin{array}{cc}1.31\le \mathrm{TTL}/\mathrm{ImgH}\le 2.2& \left(6\right)\end{array}$

where ImgH is a maximum image height of the optical system, and TTL is an overall length on the optical axis from the surface closest to the object side of the optical system to the image plane.

Inequality (6) defines a proper relationship between the maximum image height ImgH and the overall optical length TTL of the optical system. In a case where TTL/ImgH becomes lower than the lower limit of inequality (6), the overall optical length becomes small relative to the maximum image height, and it becomes difficult to correct aberrations. In a case where TTL/ImgH becomes higher than the upper limit of inequality (6), the overall optical length becomes too large relative to the maximum image height, and it becomes difficult to miniaturize the optical system.

The following inequality (7) may be satisfied:

$\begin{array}{cc}35.0\le \mathrm{vP\_}2\le 65.& \left(7\right)\end{array}$

where vP_2 is an Abbe number based on the d-line of the positive lens Gp that is disposed closest to the object among lenses disposed on the image side of the aperture stop SP in the plurality of lenses in the optical system.

Inequality (7) defines a proper range of the Abbe number vP_2 of the positive lens Gp. In order to effectively correct longitudinal chromatic aberration, the positive lens Gp may be formed using a low-dispersion material whose vP_2 satisfies inequality (7).

The following inequality (8) may be satisfied:

$\begin{array}{cc}-0.20\le \mathrm{Sag}2/\mathrm{Ea}2<0.00& \left(8\right)\end{array}$

where Ea2 is an optical effective diameter of the second lens, and Sag2 is a sag amount of a surface on the image side of the second lens.

Inequality (8) defines a proper relationship between the sag amount Sag2 and the optical effective diameter Ea2 of the second lens. In a case where Sag2/Ea2 becomes lower than the lower limit of inequality (8), the refractive power of the second lens reduces, and it becomes difficult to correct spherical aberration. In a case where Sag2/Ea2 becomes higher than the upper limit of inequality (8), a surface on the image side of the second lens becomes concave, and it becomes difficult to correct spherical aberration and coma.

Inequalities (1) to (8) may be replaced with inequalities (1a) to (8a) below:

$\begin{array}{cc}-0.56\le S23\le -0\text{.10}& \left(1a\right)\end{array}$ $\begin{array}{cc}1.55\le f2/f\le 2.80& \left(2a\right)\end{array}$ $\begin{array}{cc}0.<\cos \theta \le 0.64& \left(3a\right)\end{array}$ $\begin{array}{cc}2.\le \mathrm{dE}23/d23\le 4.40& \left(4a\right)\end{array}$ $\begin{array}{cc}0.42\le \mathrm{dE}34/d34\le 1.95& \left(5a\right)\end{array}$ $\begin{array}{cc}1.6\le \mathrm{TTL}/\mathrm{ImgH}\le 2.15& \left(6a\right)\end{array}$ $\begin{array}{cc}40.\le \mathrm{vP\_}2\le 60.& \left(7a\right)\end{array}$ $\begin{array}{cc}-0.18\le \mathrm{Sag}2/\mathrm{Ea}2\le -0.05& \left(8a\right)\end{array}$

Inequalities (1) to (8) may be replaced with inequalities (1b) to (8b) below:

$\begin{array}{cc}-0.53\le S23\le -0\text{.15}& \left(1b\right)\end{array}$ $\begin{array}{cc}1.6\le f2/f\le 2.4& \left(2b\right)\end{array}$ $\begin{array}{cc}0.2\le \cos \theta \le 0.50& \left(3b\right)\end{array}$ $\begin{array}{cc}2.3\le \mathrm{dE}23/d23\le 4.30& \left(4b\right)\end{array}$ $\begin{array}{cc}0.44\le \mathrm{dE}34/d34\le 1.9& \left(5b\right)\end{array}$ $\begin{array}{cc}1.8\le \mathrm{TTL}/\mathrm{ImgH}\le 2.1& \left(6b\right)\end{array}$ $\begin{array}{cc}50.\le \mathrm{vP\_}2\le 58.& \left(7b\right)\end{array}$ $\begin{array}{cc}-0.16\le \mathrm{Sag}2/\mathrm{Ea}2\le -0.06& \left(8b\right)\end{array}$

Satisfying at least one of inequalities (3) to (8) in addition to inequalities (1) and (2) can more easily realize an optical system that has a reduced size, a wide angle of view, and high optical performance, and secures the lens molding stability.

To further facilitate the realization of this optical system, the plurality of lenses of the optical system may include aspheric lenses that have no refractive power on the axis (at the central portion) (the curvature on the optical axis is infinite) and have refractive power off the axis (at the peripheral portion).

The optical system according to each example may further include an aspheric surface having an inflection point. The inflection point is a point where the sign of the refractive power of the lens changes. For example, at least one of the plurality of lenses may be a resin lens, and at least one of a surface on the object side of the resin lens and a surface on the image side of the resin lens may be an aspheric surface. In particular, a surface on the object side of the final lens disposed closest to the image plane among the plurality of lenses may be formed so that its central portion is convex toward the object side and its peripheral portion is concave toward the object side, and a surface on the image side of the final lens may be formed so that its central portion is concave toward the image side and its peripheral portion is convex toward the image side.

A detailed description will now be given of the optical systems according to Examples 1 to 6.

Examples 1 to 5

Each of optical systems according to Examples 1 to 5 illustrated in FIGS. 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 consists of a first lens, an aperture stop SP, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, and a sixth lens arranged in order from the object side to the image side. The second lens corresponds to the positive lens Gp. The fifth and sixth lenses are resin lenses as aspheric lenses with aspheric surfaces having inflection points on the object side and the image side. A surface on the object side of the sixth lens, which is the final lens, has a convex shape toward the object side at its central portion and a concave shape toward the object side at its peripheral portion, and a surface on the image side of the sixth lens has a concave shape toward the image side at its central portion and a convex shape toward the image side at its peripheral portion.

Example 6

An optical system according to Example 6 illustrated in FIG. 11 consists of a first lens, an aperture stop SP, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, and a seventh lens arranged in order from the object side to the image side. The second lens corresponds to the positive lens Gp. The first lens is an aspherical lens with an aspherical surface having an inflection point on the object side, and the seventh lens is an aspherical lens with an aspherical surface having inflection points on the object side and the image side. A surface on the object side of the seventh lens, which is the final lens, has a convex shape toward the object side at its central portion and a concave shape toward the object side at its peripheral portion, and a surface on the image side of the seventh lens has a concave shape toward the image side at its central portion and a convex shape toward the image side at its peripheral portion.

Numerical examples 1 to 6 corresponding to Examples 1 to 6 will be illustrated. In each numerical example, a surface number i represents the order of the surface counted from the object side. r represents a radius of curvature (mm) of an i-th surface from the object side, d represents a lens thickness or air gap (mm) between i-th and (i+1)-th surfaces, and nd represents a refractive index for the d-line of the optical material between the i-th and (i+1)-th surfaces. νd is an Abbe number based on the d-line of the optical material between the i-th and (i+1)-th surfaces. The Abbe number νd based on the d-line is expressed as follows:

$\mathrm{vd}=\left(\mathrm{Nd}-1\right)/\left(\mathrm{NF}-\mathrm{NC}\right)$

where Nd, NF, and NC are refractive indices for the d-line (587.6 nm), F-line (486.1 nm), and C-line (656.3 nm) in the Fraunhofer lines.

$X=\left(h2/R\right)/\left[1+\surd \left\{1-\left(1+k\right)\left(h/R\right)2\right\}\right]1/2+A4\times h4+A6\times h6+A8\times h8+A10\times h10+A12\times h12$

In each numerical example, d, focal length [mm], F-number, and half angle of view [°] are all values in a case where the optical system is in an in-focus state on an object at infinity. BF is a back focus (mm). The back focus is a distance on the optical axis from a lens surface closest to the image plane (final surface) of the optical system to the paraxial image plane, expressed as an air-equivalent length. The overall lens length is a distance on the optical axis from a lens surface closest to the object (foremost surface) of the optical system to the final surface plus the back focus, and corresponds to the overall length TTL in inequality (6).

An asterisk “*” next to the surface number means that that surface has an aspheric shape. The aspheric shape is expressed by the following expression:

$X=\left(h^2/R\right){/\left[1+\surd \left\{1-\left(1+k\right){\left(h/R\right)}^2\right\}\right]}^{1/2}+A4\times h^4+A6\times h^6+A8\times h^8+A10\times h^{10}+A12\times h^{12}$

where X is a displacement from a surface vertex in the optical axis direction, h is a height from the optical axis in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis, a light traveling direction is set positive, R is a paraxial radius of curvature, K is a conic constant, and A4, A6, A8, A10, and A12 are aspheric coefficients. “e±XX” in the conic constant and aspheric coefficient means “×10^±XX.”

Table 1 summarizes values of inequalities (1) to (8) for each numerical example.

FIGS. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 respectively illustrate longitudinal aberration (spherical aberration, astigmatism, distortion, and chromatic aberration) of the optical systems according to numerical examples 1 to 6 in an in-focus state on an object at infinity. In the spherical aberration diagrams, Fno indicates an F-number, a solid line indicates a spherical aberration amount for the d-line (wavelength 587.6 nm), and an alternate long and two short dashes line indicates a spherical aberration amount for the g-line (wavelength 435.8 nm). The horizontal axis is a defocus amount, which ranges from −0.100 to +0.100 [mm]. In the astigmatism diagrams, a solid line S indicates an astigmatism amount (curvature of field amount) on a sagittal image plane, and a dashed line M indicates an astigmatism amount on a meridional image plane. The horizontal axis is the same as the spherical aberration.

The distortion diagrams illustrate a distortion amount for the d-line. The horizontal axis ranges from −20.000% to +20.000%. The chromatic aberration diagram illustrates a lateral chromatic aberration amount for the g-line. The horizontal axis ranges from −0.020 mm to +0.020 mm. ω is a half angle of view (°).
