Problems to be solved by the invention

Detailed Description
The imaging optical system and the like of the present invention will be described below. The photographic optical system of the present invention is a fisheye lens (focal power: an amount defined by the reciprocal of the focal length) having a field angle of 160 DEG or more, which is composed of, in order from the object side to the image plane side, a first lens having a convex meniscus shape on the object side and having positive focal power, a second lens having negative focal power, a third lens having positive focal power, an aperture stop, and a fourth lens having positive focal power. The first lens is a double-sided aspherical lens, the object-side surface of the first lens is an aspherical surface having a shape in which positive power decreases as the lens approaches the periphery, and the image-side surface of the first lens is an aspherical surface having a shape in which negative power increases as the lens approaches the periphery, and the following conditional expression (1) is satisfied.
20<f1/<700 …(1)
Wherein,
f 1: the focal length of the first lens is such that,
f: focal length of the whole system.
By disposing aspherical surfaces on both surfaces of the first lens, and setting the aspherical surface shape on the object side surface of the first lens such that the positive power decreases as the distance from the periphery increases, and the aspherical surface shape on the image side surface such that the negative power increases as the distance from the periphery increases, it is possible to produce a strong negative power in the peripheral portion even if the axial power of the first lens is positive. Therefore, by having strong negative power in the periphery, light incident from an angle exceeding 160 degrees can be guided to the entrance pupil, and a very wide-angle lens having a full field angle exceeding 160 degrees can be realized by a small number of four lenses.
In general, in a super-wide-angle lens having a four-lens structure, light rays outside the axis can be strongly bent by making the first lens and the second lens have strong negative powers. At this time, it is necessary to correct the on-axis chromatic aberration generated on the negative first lens and the negative second lens after the third lens. When the first lens has positive refractive power as in the present invention, the amount of axial chromatic aberration is reduced, and the effect of reducing the burden of aberration correction after the third lens is further obtained. Further, although it is difficult to control distortion and astigmatism for each angle of view on a spherical lens, it can be easily realized by using a double-sided aspherical surface.
The conditional expression (1) represents a focal length ratio of the first lens with respect to the entire system. If the optical power exceeds the lower limit of the conditional expression (1), the positive power of the first lens increases, and therefore light rays having a field angle of 160 ° or more cannot be obtained, and it is difficult to realize a super-wide angle. If the upper limit of the conditional expression (1) is exceeded, the effect of correcting chromatic aberration, particularly on the optical axis, in the first lens is reduced, the load of aberration increases after the second lens, and it becomes difficult to correct aberration satisfactorily. Accordingly, satisfying the conditional expression (1) can achieve both an ultra-wide angle of view of 160 ° or more and good correction of various aberrations.
According to the characteristic configuration described above, it is possible to realize a photographing optical system capable of achieving an ultra-wide angle of view of 160 ° or more in a compact manner while excellently correcting various aberrations (particularly chromatic aberration on the optical axis), and an imaging optical apparatus having the photographing optical system. Further, by using the photographing optical system or the imaging optical apparatus for a digital device such as an in-vehicle camera or a monitoring camera, a high-performance and ultra-wide-angle image input function can be added to the digital device in a compact manner and at low cost, and a contribution can be made to the compactness, high performance, and high functionality of the digital device. Conditions and the like for achieving higher optical performance, miniaturization, and the like while obtaining such effects in a balanced manner will be described below.
It is further desirable that the following conditional expression (1a) is satisfied
20<f1/f<200 …(1a)
The conditional expression (1a) defines a more preferable condition range from the viewpoint and the like among the condition ranges defined by the conditional expression (1). Accordingly, it is preferable that the effect can be further increased by satisfying the conditional expression (1 a).
It is desirable that the following conditional expressions (2) to (4) are satisfied.
-1.5<f2/f<-0.9 …(2)
1<f3/f<2.5 …(3)
1<f4/f<1.9 …(4)
Wherein,
f 2: the focal length of the second lens is such that,
f 3: the focal length of the third lens is such that,
f 4: the focal length of the fourth lens element is,
f: focal length of the whole system.
Conditional expression (2) specifies a preferable conditional range regarding the focal length ratio of the second lens and the entire system. If the lower limit of the conditional expression (2) is exceeded, the relative power of the second lens decreases, and the strength for bending light rays decreases. In order to cause the light to enter the stop via the third lens, a countermeasure such as increasing the distance between the second lens and the third lens is required, which may increase the total length. Alternatively, it is difficult to construct an ultra-wide angle itself. If the upper limit of conditional expression (2) is exceeded, astigmatism and field curvature difference increase, and it becomes difficult to correct the astigmatism and the field curvature difference by another lens.
Conditional expression (3) specifies a preferable conditional range regarding the focal length ratio of the third lens to the entire system. If the upper limit of the conditional expression (3) is exceeded, the relative refractive power of the third lens decreases, and chromatic aberration on the optical axis generated in the second lens having negative refractive power cannot be sufficiently corrected, and it is difficult to perform satisfactory aberration correction. If the lower limit of conditional expression (3) is exceeded, chromatic aberration on the optical axis is corrected too much, which also makes it difficult to perform satisfactory aberration correction.
The conditional expression (4) is a preferable conditional range regarding the focal length ratio of the fourth lens to the entire system. When the upper limit of the conditional expression (4) is exceeded, the relative refractive power of the fourth lens decreases, and the distance from the object-side surface to the image-side surface of the fourth lens increases. If the lower limit of conditional expression (4) is exceeded, axial chromatic aberration, astigmatism, and the like increase, and it becomes difficult to correct the aberration by another lens.
It is desirable to satisfy the following conditional expression (5).
0.9<BF/f<1.6 …(5)
Wherein,
BF: the back focal length (air transition length),
f: focal length of the overall system.
The conditional expression (5) specifies an appropriate back focal length (a length obtained by air-converting the distance from the final lens surface to the paraxial image surface). If the lower limit of conditional expression (5) is exceeded, it becomes difficult to dispose a glass cover, a filter, and the like of the sensor between the photographing optical system and the image plane. If the upper limit of the conditional expression (5) is exceeded, the back focal length is relatively too long compared to the focal length. In this case, it is necessary to ensure the back focus by adjusting the power arrangement of the first to fourth lenses. Therefore, the power configuration may be different from the power configuration suitable for aberration correction, and it is difficult to perform good aberration correction.
Desirably, the second lens, the third lens and the fourth lens are all double-sided aspherical lenses. The second lens, the third lens, and the fourth lens are aspheric on both surfaces, and astigmatism, distortion, coma aberration, and the like can be effectively corrected.
It is desirable that the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, and the fourth lens be all plastic lenses. By configuring the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, and the fourth lens with plastic (resin), it is possible to easily add an aspherical surface to the lens surface. Further, mass production is possible, and therefore, the cost can be reduced.
It is desirable that the second lens has a convex meniscus shape on the object side. By providing the second lens with a lens having a meniscus shape convex on the object side, the distance between the first lens and the second lens can be narrowed. As a result, the light beam passing position of the first lens can be lowered, and the diameter of the first lens can be reduced. If the light passing position is increased, the lens diameter increases, and as a result, the amount of off-axis aberration such as distortion and chromatic aberration of magnification increases. That is, the second lens is a meniscus lens that is convex toward the object, whereby the occurrence of off-axis aberrations such as distortion and chromatic aberration of magnification can be suppressed.
It is desirable for the third lens to have a biconvex shape. By providing the third lens as a biconvex lens with a convex surface facing the object side and the image surface side, correction of various aberrations (e.g., spherical aberration) can be shared between the object side surface and the image side surface. For example, when the lens is formed in a meniscus shape, error sensitivity and aberration tend to increase due to the lens surface shape for obtaining a strong power, but when the lens is formed in a biconvex shape, increase in error sensitivity and aberration can be effectively suppressed.
It is desirable to form a hard coat layer on the object side of the first lens. When the first lens is made of resin, disposing a hard coat layer on the object-side surface of the first lens has an effect of improving reliability such as scratch resistance.
It is desirable that the following conditional expressions (6) to (8) are satisfied.
18<vd3<33 …(6)
40<vd2<65 …(7)
40<vd4<65 …(8)
Wherein,
vd 3: the abbe number of the third lens,
vd 2: the abbe number of the second lens,
vd 4: abbe number of the fourth lens.
Conditional expression (6) specifies a preferable range of conditions relating to the abbe number of the third lens. By satisfying the conditional expression (6), chromatic aberration of magnification occurring in the first lens and the second lens can be corrected mainly in the third lens. If the lower limit of the conditional expression (6) is exceeded, chromatic aberration of magnification occurring in the first lens and the second lens is corrected excessively, and if the upper limit of the conditional expression (6) is exceeded, chromatic aberration of magnification occurring in the first lens and the second lens is corrected insufficiently. Therefore, it is difficult to perform good chromatic aberration of magnification in any case.
Conditional expressions (7) and (8) define a conditional range for correcting chromatic aberration of magnification satisfactorily, as with conditional expression (6). If the upper limit of the conditional expression (7) is exceeded, the chromatic aberration of magnification is corrected excessively, and if the lower limit of the conditional expression (7) is exceeded, the chromatic aberration of magnification is corrected insufficiently, and in any case, it is difficult to perform satisfactory chromatic aberration of magnification. If the upper limit of conditional expression (8) is exceeded, the magnification chromatic aberration is overcorrected, and if the lower limit of conditional expression (8) is exceeded, the magnification chromatic aberration is insufficiently corrected, and in any case, it is difficult to perform satisfactory magnification chromatic aberration correction.
It is desirable to satisfy the following conditional expression (9).
nd1≤1.65 …(9)
Wherein,
nd 1: refractive index in d-line of the first lens.
Conditional expression (9) specifies a preferable range of conditions regarding the refractive index of the first lens, and thus specifies the reliability of the resin material. If a resin material having a refractive index exceeding the upper limit of the conditional expression (9) is left under the sun for a long time, the transmittance on the single wavelength side is lowered to cause yellowing of the image.
It is desirable for the fourth lens to have a biconvex shape. By providing the fourth lens as a biconvex lens with a convex surface facing the object side and the image side, correction of various aberrations (e.g., spherical aberration) can be shared between the object side surface and the image side surface. For example, if the lens is formed in a meniscus shape, error sensitivity and aberration tend to increase due to the lens surface shape for obtaining a strong power, but if the lens is formed in a biconvex shape, increase in error sensitivity and aberration can be effectively suppressed.
As is apparent from the above description, the photographing optical system according to the present invention is suitably used as a photographing optical system used in a digital device (for example, an in-vehicle camera, a monitoring camera, and a mobile terminal) having an ultra-wide-angle image input function. That is, the photographing optical system of the present invention is suitable for use in an application in which an optical image of an object (i.e., an object image) is formed in a super-wide angle on an imaging surface of an imaging element (sensor) (e.g., a photoelectric conversion portion of a solid-state imaging element). By combining the photographing optical system of the present invention with an image pickup device or the like, an image pickup optical apparatus can be configured which optically acquires a video of a subject and outputs the video as an electric signal. The image pickup optical device is an optical device that constitutes a main component of a camera used for photographing a still image or a moving image of an object, and includes, for example, a photographing optical system for forming an optical image of the object and an image pickup element for converting the optical image formed by the photographing optical system into an electric signal in this order from the object (i.e., the object) side. Further, by arranging the photographing optical system having the characteristic structure so as to form an optical image of the subject on the light receiving surface (i.e., image pickup surface) of the image pickup element, it is possible to realize an image pickup optical device which is small in size, low in cost, and high in performance, and a digital apparatus having the image pickup optical device.
Examples of digital devices with an image input function include cameras such as a surveillance camera, a security camera, a vehicle-mounted camera (e.g., a rear-view camera), a flight vehicle camera, a digital camera, a video camera, and a camera for a television telephone, cameras built in or out of a personal computer, a mobile terminal (e.g., a mobile phone, a smartphone (a high-performance mobile phone), a small-sized portable information device terminal such as a mobile computer), peripheral devices thereof (e.g., a scanner and a printer), and other digital devices (e.g., a car recorder and a defense device). As is clear from these examples, not only the camera can be configured by using the imaging optical device, but also a camera function can be added by mounting the imaging optical device on various devices. For example, a digital device with an image input function such as a camera-equipped mobile phone can be configured.
As an example of a digital device with an image input function, fig. 15 shows a schematic configuration example of a digital device DU in a schematic cross section. The imaging optical device LU mounted in the digital device DU shown in fig. 15 includes, from the object (i.e., subject) side, a photographing optical system LN (AX: optical axis) for forming an optical image (image plane) IM of the object, a parallel flat plate PT (a glass cover of the imaging element SR; an optical filter such as an optical low-pass filter or an infrared cut filter arranged as needed), and an imaging element SR for converting the optical image IM formed on a light receiving surface (image plane) SS by the photographing optical system LN into an electric signal. When the digital device DU with an image input function is configured by the imaging optical device LU, the imaging optical device LU is usually disposed in the body, but a system corresponding to the necessity can be adopted when the camera function is realized. For example, the modular imaging optical device LU can be configured to be detachable or rotatable with respect to the main body of the digital device DU.
The photographing optical system LN is a fixed focus lens of four-lens structure composed of positive, negative, positive, and positive first to fourth lenses in order from the object side, and is configured to form an optical image IM on a light receiving surface SS of the image pickup device SR. As the image pickup element SR, for example, a solid-state image pickup element such as a CCD (charge coupled device) type image sensor or a CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) type image sensor having a plurality of pixels is available. The photographing optical system LN is provided so that an optical image IM of the subject is formed on a light receiving surface SS that is a photoelectric conversion portion of the image pickup element SR, and therefore the optical image IM formed by the photographing optical system LN is converted into an electric signal by the image pickup element SR. Further, as described above, since the image pickup device SR such as a CCD type image sensor or a CMOS type image sensor is used, a glass cover is disposed as the parallel flat plate PT between the photographing optical system LN and the image plane IM, but it is needless to say that the glass cover is not disposed depending on the type of the sensor.
The digital device DU includes a signal processing unit 1, a control unit 2, a memory 3, an operation unit 4, a display unit 5, and the like, in addition to the imaging optical device LU. The signal generated by the image pickup device SR is subjected to predetermined digital image processing, image compression processing, and the like as necessary in the signal processing section 1, and is recorded in the memory 3 (semiconductor memory, optical disk, and the like) as a digital video signal, or is converted into an infrared signal or the like via a cable in some cases, and is transmitted to another device (for example, a communication function of a mobile phone). The control unit 2 is constituted by a microcomputer, and performs functions such as a photographing function (a still image projection function, a moving image photographing function, and the like), an image reproducing function, and the like, and a lens moving mechanism for focusing, and the like, collectively. For example, the control unit 2 controls the imaging optical device LU so as to perform at least one of still image shooting and moving image shooting of the subject. The display unit 5 is a portion including a display such as a liquid crystal monitor, and displays an image using an image signal converted by the image pickup device SR or image information recorded in the memory 3. The operation unit 4 is a portion having operation members such as an operation button (for example, a release button) and an operation dial (for example, a photographing mode dial), and transmits information input by an operator operation to the control unit 2.
Fig. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13 show first to seventh embodiments of an imaging optical system LN in an infinity focus state in an optical cross section. The j-th lens Lj (j is 1,2,3, or 4) is a lens located at the j-th position from the object side, and the parallel plate PT disposed on the image side of the imaging optical system LN is a glass cover or the like assumed as the image pickup device SR.
The photographing optical system LN of the first to seventh embodiments is configured by, in order from the object side, a first lens L1 having positive refractive power, a second lens L2 having negative refractive power, a third lens L3 having positive refractive power, an aperture stop ST, and a fourth lens L4 having positive refractive power. The first lens L1 and the second lens L2 have a convex meniscus shape on the object side, the third lens L3 has a convex meniscus shape or a biconvex shape on the object side, and the fourth lens L4 has a biconvex shape.
Note that all lens surfaces constituting the imaging optical system LN are aspherical surfaces, and all lenses constituting the imaging optical system LN are assumed to be made of a plastic material as an optical material. Since the first lens L1 is a plastic lens, a cover member may be disposed on the object side of the photographing optical system LN. In the super-wide-angle lens, it is difficult to provide a cover member on the object side of the first lens L1, and therefore, it is preferable to form a hard coat layer on the object side surface of the first lens L1 instead of the cover member.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the photographing optical system embodying the present invention and the like will be described in more detail by taking the configuration data and the like of the embodiment as an example. Examples 1 to 7(EX1 to 7) mentioned here are numerical examples corresponding to the first to seventh embodiments, respectively, and the lens configuration diagrams (fig. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13) showing the first to seventh embodiments show the lens cross-sectional shapes and the like of the corresponding examples 1 to 7, respectively.
In the configuration data of each example, the surface number, the radius of curvature r (mm), the optical axis upper surface interval d (mm), the refractive index nd with respect to the d-line (wavelength 587.56nm), and the abbe number vd with respect to the d-line are shown in the order from the left column as surface data. The surface with the surface number added thereto is an aspherical surface, and the surface shape thereof is defined by the following expression (AS) using a local orthogonal coordinate system (x, y, z) with the surface vertex AS the origin. The aspherical data represents aspherical coefficients and the like. In the aspherical surface data of each example, coefficients of items not shown are 0, and for all the data, E-n ═ 10 x-n
z=(C·h2)/[1+√{1-(1+k)C2·h2}]+A4·h4+A6
h6+A8·h8+A10·h10+A12·h12 …(AS)
Wherein,
h: for the z-axis (optical axis)AX) vertical direction height (h)2=x2+y2),
z: amount of displacement in the direction of optical axis AX at a position having height h (surface apex reference)
C: paraxial curvature at the apex of a face (inverse of radius of curvature r)
k: the coefficient of the cone is the coefficient of the cone,
a4, a6, A8, a10, a 12: the aspheric coefficients are 4 times, 6 times, 8 times, 10 times and 12 times respectively.
Table 1 shows the values corresponding to the conditional expressions in the respective examples, and table 2 shows the surface shape (mark based on the paraxial curvature) and the optical power (mark by positive or negative) of each lens (Lj, j: 1,2,3, 4). Table 3 shows, as various data (values related to d-line), a focal length (F, mm) of the entire system, focal lengths (F1, F2, F3, F4; mm) of the respective lenses (Lj, j ═ 1,2,3,4), a total lens length (TL, mm), an F value (FNO), a back focal length (BF, mm), a full field angle (2 ω, °), a maximum image height (Y', mm; corresponding to half of a diagonal length of the imaging plane SS of the imaging device SR). The back focus BF indicates the distance from the lens final surface to the paraxial image surface by an air-converted length, and the total lens length TL is a value obtained by adding the back focus BF to the distance from the lens foremost surface to the lens final surface.
Fig. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 are aberration diagrams of examples 1 to 7(EX1 to 7), in which (a) represents spherical aberration (mm), (B) represents astigmatism (mm) and (C) represents distortion (%). In the spherical aberration diagram (a), the solid line, the two-dot chain line, and the broken line represent the amount of spherical aberration for the d-line (wavelength 587.56nm), the spherical aberration for the g-line (wavelength 435.84nm), and the spherical aberration for the C-line (wavelength 656.28nm), respectively, by the amount of shift in the optical axis AX direction from the paraxial image plane, and the ordinate represents the F value. In the astigmatism diagram (B), the dashed line T and the solid line S indicate a Tangential (changemental) image plane with respect to a d-line and a sagittal image plane with respect to a d-line, respectively, by the amount of shift in the optical axis AX direction from the paraxial image plane, and the vertical axis indicates the image height Y' (mm). In the distortion map (C), the horizontal axis represents distortion with respect to the d-line, and the vertical axis represents the image height Y' (mm). The distortion is a value based on a projection system of Y' 2f · tan (ω/2). In a normal lens, a relational expression of Y' ═ f · tan ω is used as a reference, but this expression cannot be applied to a super wide-angle lens in which the half field angle ω exceeds 90 degrees.
Here, the schematic configuration of each example (table 2) is explained. Here, the power is a power based on a value on the paraxial region. In examples 1,2, 4, 5, and 7 (fig. 1, 3, 7, 9, and 13), the lens system is composed of, in order from the object side, a first lens L1 having a meniscus-shaped positive power with the convex surface facing the object side, a second lens L2 having a meniscus-shaped negative power with the convex surface facing the object side, a third lens L3 having a biconvex-shaped positive power, an aperture stop ST, and a fourth lens L4 having a biconvex-shaped positive power. All of the lenses L1 to L4 are made of plastic, and all surfaces thereof are made of aspherical surfaces. Further, the aspherical surface disposed on the object side of the first lens L1 has an aspherical shape in which positive power decreases as the distance from the periphery increases, and the aspherical surface disposed on the image side surface of the first lens L1 has an aspherical shape in which negative power increases as the distance from the periphery increases.
In examples 3 and 6 (fig. 5 and 11), the lens system is constituted by, in order from the object side, a first lens L1 having a meniscus-shaped positive power with the convex surface facing the object side, a second lens L2 having a meniscus-shaped negative power with the convex surface facing the object side, a third lens L3 having a meniscus-shaped positive power with the convex surface facing the object side, an aperture stop ST, and a fourth lens L4 having a biconvex-shaped positive power. All of the lenses L1 to L4 are made of plastic, and all surfaces thereof are made of aspherical surfaces. Further, the aspherical surface disposed on the object side of the first lens L1 has an aspherical shape in which positive power decreases as the distance from the periphery increases, and the aspherical surface disposed on the image side surface of the first lens L1 has an aspherical shape in which negative power increases as the distance from the periphery increases.
When a lens is made of plastic, there is a drawback that the hardness is low and scratch resistance and weather resistance are poor. As an effective means for solving this problem, currently, by forming a hardened film (hard coat film) on the surface of a plastic part, the hardness of the surface can be increased without impairing the portability and workability of the plastic. In the ultra-wide-angle lens, since it is difficult to provide a cover member on the object side of the first lens L1, for example, when used in an on-vehicle camera or a surveillance camera, it is sufficient to consider a case where the object side surface of the first lens L1 is exposed to the outside. Therefore, in each of examples 1 to 7, a hard coat layer was formed on the object side of the first lens L1. A transparent hard coat film having a thickness of about 2 to 15 [ mu ] m is formed on the object side surface of the first lens by a dip coating method, a spray coating method, a spin coating method or the like, thereby improving scratch resistance and weather resistance. Further, in order to prevent water droplets from adhering due to rain or the like, a water-repellent coating or a hydrophilic coating may be added to the hard coat layer, and a UV-blocking agent may be added to the material of the first lens L1 made of plastic in order to further improve light resistance.
In embodiments 1 to 7, it is assumed that a CCD image sensor, a CMOS image sensor, or the like is used for the image pickup element SR, and therefore, a glass cover (parallel flat plate PT) is disposed between the fourth lens L4 and the image plane IM, but it is needless to say that the glass cover is not disposed depending on the type of sensor.
