Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No 15/586,212, filed on May 3, 2017, which is herein incorporated by reference and claims the benefit of Chinese Patent Application No. 201710182451.5 filed on Mar. 24, 2017.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to an optical imaging lens, and particularly, to an optical imaging lens having five lens elements.

BACKGROUND

Technology for mobile electronic devices is improving constantly. Further, key components of mobile electronic devices such as optical imaging lens are updated frequently. As a result, applications of mobile electronic devices are no longer limited to taking pictures or videos. To satisfy consumer demands and perform various optical applications, mobile electronic devices may utilize a telephoto lens to achieve a larger field of view. As the focal length of the mobile electronic device is lengthened, the amplification factor of the optical zoom of the mobile electronic device increases.
However, the focal length of the lens is inversely proportional to an amount of lights entering the lens. Further, the effective radius and the volume of the lens are increased when the size of the aperture is increased. Therefore, it may be desirable to increase the focal length to about 8 mm or more than about 8 mm, and to increase the size of the aperture and the amount of light (Fno is less than 2.6) without affecting the lens volume (the effective radius is less than about 2.5 mm).

SUMMARY

The present disclosure relates to an optical imaging lens. By designing convex and/or concave surfaces of lens elements, the length of the optical imaging lens may be shortened while still maintaining good optical characteristics and imaging quality.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

For a more complete understanding of the present disclosure and its advantages, reference may now made to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numbers indicate like features. Persons having ordinary skill in the art will understand other varieties for implementing example embodiments, including those described herein. The drawings are not limited to specific scale and similar reference numbers are used for representing similar elements. As used in the disclosures and the appended claims, the terms “example embodiment,” “exemplary embodiment,” and “present embodiment” do not necessarily refer to a single embodiment, although they may, and various example embodiments may be readily combined and interchanged without departing from the scope or spirit of the present disclosure. Furthermore, the terminology as used herein is for the purpose of describing example embodiments only and is not intended to be a limitation of the disclosure. In this respect, as used herein, the term “in” may include “in” and “on”, and the terms “a”, “an” and “the” may include singular and plural references. Furthermore, as used herein, the term “by” may also mean “from”, depending on the context. Furthermore, as used herein, the term “if” may also mean “when” or “upon,” depending on the context. Furthermore, as used herein, the words “and/or” may refer to and encompass any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
In the present disclosure, the description “a lens element having positive refracting power (or negative refracting power)” means that the paraxial refracting power of the lens element in Gaussian optics is positive (or negative). The description “An object-side (or image-side) surface of a lens element” may include a specific region of that surface of the lens element where imaging rays are capable of passing through that region, namely the clear aperture of the surface. The aforementioned imaging rays may be classified into two types, chief ray Lc and marginal ray Lm. Taking a lens element depicted in FIG. 1 as an example, the lens element may be rotationally symmetric, where the optical axis I is the axis of symmetry. The region A of the lens element is defined as “a part in a vicinity of the optical axis,” and the region C of the lens element is defined as “a part in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element.” Besides, the lens element may also have an extending part E extended radially and outwardly from the region C, namely the part outside of the clear aperture of the lens element. The extending part E may be used for physically assembling the lens element into an optical imaging lens system. Under normal circumstances, the imaging rays would not pass through the extending part E because those imaging rays only pass through the clear aperture. The structures and shapes of the aforementioned extending part E are only examples for technical explanation, the structures and shapes of lens elements should not be limited to these examples. Note that the extending parts of the lens element surfaces depicted in the following embodiments are partially omitted.
The following criteria are provided for determining the shapes and the parts of lens element surfaces set forth in the present disclosure. These criteria mainly determine the boundaries of parts under various circumstances including the part in a vicinity of the optical axis, the part in a vicinity of a periphery of a lens element surface, and other types of lens element surfaces such as those having multiple parts.
FIG. 1 depicts a radial cross-sectional view of a lens element. Before determining boundaries of those aforementioned portions, two referential points should be defined first, the central point and the transition point. The central point of a surface of a lens element may be a point of intersection of that surface and the optical axis. The transition point may be a point on a surface of a lens element, where the tangent line of that point is perpendicular to the optical axis. Additionally, if multiple transition points appear on one single surface, then these transition points are sequentially named along the radial direction of the surface with numbers starting from the first transition point. For instance, the first transition point (closest one to the optical axis), the second transition point, and the Nth transition point (farthest one to the optical axis within the scope of the clear aperture of the surface). The portion of a surface of the lens element between the central point and the first transition point is defined as the portion in a vicinity of the optical axis. The portion located radially outside of the Nth transition point (but still within the scope of the clear aperture) is defined as the portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element. In some embodiments, there are other portions existing between the portion in a vicinity of the optical axis and the portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element; the numbers of portions depend on the numbers of the transition point(s). In addition, the radius of the clear aperture (or a so-called effective radius) of a surface may be defined as the radial distance from the optical axis Ito a point of intersection of the marginal ray Lm and the surface of the lens element.
Referring to FIG. 2, determining whether the shape of a portion is convex or concave may depend on whether a collimated ray passing through that portion converges or diverges. That is, while applying a collimated ray to a portion to be determined in terms of shape, the collimated ray passing through that portion may be bended and the ray itself or its extension line may eventually meet the optical axis. The shape of that portion may be determined by whether the ray or its extension line meets (intersects) the optical axis (focal point) at the object-side or image-side. For instance, if the ray itself intersects the optical axis at the image side of the lens element after passing through a portion, e.g., the focal point of this ray is at the image side (see point R in FIG. 2), the portion may be determined as having a convex shape. On the contrary, if the ray diverges after passing through a portion, the extension line of the ray intersects the optical axis at the object side of the lens element, e.g., the focal point of the ray is at the object side (see point M in FIG. 2), that portion may be determined as having a concave shape. Therefore, referring to FIG. 2, the portion between the central point and the first transition point may have a convex shape, the portion located radially outside of the first transition point may have a concave shape, and the first transition point is the point where the portion having a convex shape changes to the portion having a concave shape, namely the border of two adjacent portions. Alternatively, there is another method to determine whether a portion in a vicinity of the optical axis may have a convex or concave shape by referring to the sign of an “R” value, which is the (paraxial) radius of curvature of a lens surface. The R value may be used in conventional optical design software such as Zemax and CodeV. The R value may appear in the lens data sheet in the software. For an object-side surface, positive R may mean that the object-side surface is convex, and negative R may mean that the object-side surface is concave. Conversely, for an image-side surface, positive R may mean that the image-side surface is concave, and negative R may mean that the image-side surface is convex. The result found by using this method may be consistent with the result found using the other way mentioned above, which may determine surface shapes by referring to whether the focal point of a collimated ray is at the object side or the image side.
For none transition point cases, the portion in a vicinity of the optical axis may be defined as the portion between 0-50% of the effective radius (radius of the clear aperture) of the surface, whereas the portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element may be defined as the portion between 50-100% of effective radius (radius of the clear aperture) of the surface.
Referring to the first example depicted in FIG. 3, only one transition point, namely a first transition point, appears within the clear aperture of the image-side surface of the lens element. Portion I may be a portion in a vicinity of the optical axis, and portion II may be a portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element. The portion in a vicinity of the optical axis may be determined as having a concave surface due to the R value at the image-side surface of the lens element is positive. The shape of the portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element may be different from that of the radially inner adjacent portion, e.g., the shape of the portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element may be different from the shape of the portion in a vicinity of the optical axis; the portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element may have a convex shape.
Referring to the second example depicted in FIG. 4, a first transition point and a second transition point may exist on the object-side surface (within the clear aperture) of a lens element. Here, portion I may be the portion in a vicinity of the optical axis, and portion III may be the portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element. The portion in a vicinity of the optical axis may have a convex shape because the R value at the object-side surface of the lens element may be positive. The portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element (portion III) may have a convex shape. What is more, there may be another portion having a concave shape existing between the first and second transition point (portion II).
Referring to a third example depicted in FIG. 5, no transition point may exist on the object-side surface of the lens element. In this case, the portion between 0-50% of the effective radius (radius of the clear aperture) may be determined as the portion in a vicinity of the optical axis, and the portion between 50-100% of the effective radius may be determined as the portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element. The portion in a vicinity of the optical axis of the object-side surface of the lens element may be determined as having a convex shape due to its positive R value, and the portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element may be determined as having a convex shape as well.
Several exemplary embodiments and associated optical data will now be provided to illustrate non-limiting examples of optical imaging lens systems having good optical characteristics while increasing the field of view. Reference is now made to FIGS. 6-9. FIG. 6 illustrates an example cross-sectional view of an optical imaging lens 1 having five lens elements according to a first example embodiment.
