The present disclosure relates to the field of camera lens, and more particularly, to a ultra-thin wide-angle lens which is suitable for use in a modular camera for a mobile phone, a WEB camera or the like using a camera element such as a high-pixel Charge Coupled Device (CCD) or Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS), has good optical properties, a TTL (a total optical length from an object side surface of a first lens to an image plane of the wide-angle lens along the optic axis)/IH (image height)1.50 and an F number (hereinafter, referred to as FNO) of 2.00 or less, and consists of six lenses.
In recent years, various types of imaging devices using imaging elements such as CCD and CMOS have been widely used. With the development of miniaturization and high performance of these imaging elements, society demands for a camera lens that has excellent optical characteristics, is ultra-thin, and has a bright FNO.
The development of technology related to a camera lens, which is composed of six lenses, has excellent optical characteristics, is ultra-thin, and has bright FNO, is progressing step by step. A proposed solution is that a wide-angle lens is composed of six lenses: from an object side, a first lens having a positive refractive power, a second lens having a negative refractive power, a third lens having a negative refractive power, a fourth lens, a fifth lens and a sixth lens.
Many aspects of the exemplary embodiment can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the present disclosure. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
The present disclosure will hereinafter be described in detail with reference to several exemplary embodiments. To make the technical problems to be solved, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present disclosure more apparent, the present disclosure is described in further detail together with the figure and the embodiments. It should be understood the specific embodiments described hereby is only to explain the disclosure, not intended to limit the disclosure.
Referring to
The first lens L1, the second lens L2, the third lens L3, the fourth lens L4, the fifth lens L5 and the sixth lens L6 are all made of a plastic material.
The first lens L1 has a positive refractive power. The second lens L2 has a negative refractive power, and the third lens L3 has a negative refractive power.
Here, an on-axis curvature radius of an object side surface of the third lens L3 is defined as R5, an on-axis thickness of the third lens L3 is defined as d5. The wide-angle lens 10 should satisfy a condition of 10.00R5/d530.00, which specifies a shape of the third lens L3. Out of this range, it is difficult to achieve miniaturization in an FNO bright state.
An on-axis curvature radius of an object side surface of the fifth lens L5 is defined as R9, and an on-axis thickness of the fifth lens L5 is defined as d9. The wide-angle lens 10 should satisfy a condition of 15.00R9/d950.00, which specifies a shape of the fifth lens L5. Out of this range, a development towards ultra-thin and wide-angle lenses would make it difficult to correct a problem of an aberration.
An on-axis curvature radius of an object side surface of the first lens L1 is defined as R1, and an on-axis curvature radius of an image side surface of the first lens L1 is defined as R2. The wide-angle lens 10 should satisfy a condition of −20.00(R1+R2)/(R1−R2)−1.00, which specifies a shape of the first lens L1. The ratio is reasonably controlled in such a manner that the wide-angle lens 10 can effectively correct a system aberration. Out of this range, it is difficult to achieve an excellent imaging performance in the FNO bright state. Preferably, −5.00(R1+R2)/(R1−R2)−1.00.
An on-axis thickness of the first lens L1 is defined as d1, and an on-axis thickness of the second lens L2 is defined as d3. The wide-angle lens 10 should satisfy a condition of 2.75d1/d3−5.00, which specifies a ratio of a central thickness of the first lens L1 and a central thickness of the second lens L2. Out of this range, it is difficult to achieve miniaturization in an FNO bright state.
When the on-axis thickness and the curvature radius of the wide-angle lens 10 of the present disclosure satisfy the above conditions, the wide-angle lens 10 will have the advantage of high performance and satisfy the design requirement of wide angle and low TTL. Specifically, a focal length of the wide-angle lens 10 is 5.543 mm, and the wide-angle lens 10 has a total optical length TTL of 6.5 mm, a back focal length LB of 1.201 mm, a FOV (field of view) of 78.048°, and an FNO of 1.780.
In the present embodiment, an object side surface of the first lens L1 is convex in a paraxial region, and an image side surface of the first lens L1 is concave in the paraxial region. The first lens L1 has a positive refractive power, and its focal length f1 is 4.215 mm.
The wide-angle lens 10 should satisfy a condition of 0.50f1/f2.00, which specifies a ratio of the focal length f1 of the first lens L1 and the focal length f of the wide-angle lens 10. By controlling the positive refractive power of the first lens L1 within the reasonable range, miniaturization of the wide-angle lens is achieved. Preferably, 0.50f1/f1.00.
An object side surface of the second lens L2 is convex in the paraxial region, and an image side surface of the second lens L2 is concave in the paraxial region. The second lens L2 has a negative refractive power, and its focal length f2 is −7.176 mm.
An on-axis curvature radius of the object side surface of the second lens L2 is defined as R3, and an on-axis curvature radius of the image side surface of the second lens L2 is defined as R4. The wide-angle lens 10 should satisfy a condition of 1.00(R3+R4)/(R3−R4)5.00, which specifies a shape of the second lens L2. Out of this range, it is difficult to achieve miniaturization in the FNO bright state. Preferably, 1.00 (R3+R4)/(R3−R4)3.00.
An object side surface of the third lens L3 is convex in the paraxial region, and an image side surface of the third lens L3 is concave in the paraxial region. The third lens L3 has a negative refractive power, and its focal length f3 is −52.379 mm.
An object side surface of the fourth lens L4 is convex in the paraxial region, and an image side surface of the fourth lens L4 is concave in the paraxial region. The fourth lens L4 has a positive refractive power, and its focal length f4 is 23.353 mm.
An on-axis curvature radius of the object side surface of the fourth lens L4 is defined as R7, and an on-axis curvature radius of the image side surface of the fourth lens L4 is defined as R8. The wide-angle lens 10 should satisfy a condition of −20.00(R7+R8)/(R7−R8)−1.00, which specifies a shape of the fourth lens L4. Out of this range, it is difficult to correct the system aberration in the FNO bright state. Preferably, −18.00(R7+R8)/(R7−R8)−3.00.
The object side surface of the fifth lens L5 is convex in the paraxial region, and an image side surface of the fifth lens L5 is convex in the paraxial region. The fifth lens L5 has a positive refractive power, and its focal length f5 is 4.023 mm.
An object side surface of the sixth lens L6 is concave in the paraxial region, and an image side surface of the sixth lens L6 is concave in the paraxial region. The sixth lens L6 has a negative refractive power, and its focal length f6 is −2.929 mm.
A perpendicular distance Yc62 from an arrest point on the image side surface of the sixth lens L6 to an optic axis is 1.715 mm, and the total optical length TTL of the wide-angle lens 10 is 6.5 mm. The wide-angle lens 10 should satisfy a condition of 0.10Yc62/TTL0.55, which specifies a ratio of a position of the arrest point of the sixth lens L6 and the total optical length. Out of this range, it is difficult to correct the aberration and distortion of the wide-angle lens 10.
The FNO of the wide-angle lens 10 is smaller than or equal to 2.00. The FNO is an F number of the wide-angle lens. When this condition is satisfied, the wide-angle lens 10 will have a good brightness, so as to satisfy the demand for a large aperture and also make night imaging effect better.
With such design, the total optical length TTL of the wide-angle lens 10 can be made as short as possible, and thus the characteristics of wide-angle and miniaturization can be maintained while satisfying the demand for a large aperture.
