The features, principles, and other aspects of the present application are described in detail below.
The projection lens according to the exemplary embodiment of the present application may include, for example, four lenses having optical power, i.e., a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, and a fourth lens. The four lenses are arranged in sequence along the optical axis from the image source side to the image side.
In an exemplary embodiment, the first lens may have positive optical power; the second lens may have negative power, an image source side surface thereof may be concave, and an image forming side surface thereof may be concave; the third lens has positive optical power or negative optical power; the fourth lens may have positive optical power, and an imaging side surface thereof may be convex. The first lens with positive focal power is beneficial to realizing telecentricity of an image source side of a projection system, improving the light incoming quantity of an off-axis vision field of the projection system and increasing the resolution, brightness and uniformity of a projection image; the second lens with negative focal power has a concave image source side surface and a concave image side surface, which is beneficial to the main surface of the image source side to be far away from the image source, thereby shortening the total optical length TTL of the projection system and realizing the miniaturization of the lens; the third lens with focal power can effectively adjust the incident angle of off-axis visual field rays and correct off-axis visual field aberration; the fourth lens with positive focal power is beneficial to shortening the total optical length TTL of the projection system, and the convex surface of the imaging side of the fourth lens is beneficial to reducing the spherical aberration of the projection system and improving the imaging quality of the projection system.
In an exemplary embodiment, the image source side surface of the first lens may be convex.
In an exemplary embodiment, the third lens may have positive power, an image source side surface thereof may be concave, and an image forming side surface thereof may be convex.
In an exemplary embodiment, the image source side surface of the fourth lens may be concave.
In an exemplary embodiment, the projection lens of the present application may satisfy the conditional expression f/f2+.4.0, where f is the total effective focal length of the projection lens and f2 is the effective focal length of the second lens. More specifically, f and f2 may further satisfy-10.0.ltoreq.fF2.ltoreq.4.0, for example, -9.80.ltoreq.f2.ltoreq.5.41. Satisfying the condition f/f2 is less than or equal to-4.0, which is beneficial to achieving better balance between improving the imaging quality of the projection system and realizing the miniaturization of the projection system.
In an exemplary embodiment, the projection lens of the present application may satisfy the conditional expression 2.0 < f/f1 < 3.5, where f is the total effective focal length of the projection lens and f1 is the effective focal length of the first lens. More specifically, f and f1 may further satisfy 2.30 < f/f1 < 3.40, for example, 2.41. Ltoreq.f/f 1. Ltoreq.3.33. The condition that f/f1 is less than 2.0 and less than 3.5 is satisfied, the telecentricity of the image source side of the projection system is facilitated, the total optical length TTL of the projection system is shortened, and better balance is achieved between shortening the total optical length TTL of the projection system and improving the imaging quality of the projection system.
In an exemplary embodiment, the projection lens of the present application has a light transmittance of greater than 85% in the light wavelength band of about 800nm to about 1000 nm. Such an arrangement is advantageous in improving the transmittance of near infrared light through the projection lens to obtain a near infrared projection image with higher brightness.
In an exemplary embodiment, the projection lens of the present application may satisfy the conditional expression 1.0 < f3/f < 5.5, where f3 is an effective focal length of the third lens and f is a total effective focal length of the projection lens. More specifically, f3 and f may further satisfy 1.32.ltoreq.f3/f.ltoreq.5.39. Satisfying the condition 1.0 < f3/f < 5.5, being beneficial to adjusting the optical power distribution and avoiding the increase of tolerance sensitivity of the projection system caused by excessive concentration of optical power; meanwhile, when one or all of the second lens and the fourth lens is a glass lens, satisfying the condition that f3/f is smaller than 1.0 and smaller than 5.5 is beneficial to keeping the stability of the image plane under the condition that the temperature is changed, thereby being beneficial to improving the temperature characteristic of the projection system.
In an exemplary embodiment, the projection lens of the present application may satisfy the conditional expression-1.5R 8/R1, where R8 is a radius of curvature of an imaging side surface of the fourth lens and R1 is a radius of curvature of an image source side surface of the first lens. More specifically, R8 and R1 may further satisfy-1.35.ltoreq.R8/R1.ltoreq.1.00. Satisfying the condition-1.5 is less than or equal to R8/R1 is less than or equal to-1.0, which is beneficial to eliminating distortion and aberration of the projection system.
In an exemplary embodiment, the projection lens of the present application may satisfy the condition of 1.5 < f/f4 < 2.5, where f is the total effective focal length of the projection lens and f4 is the effective focal length of the fourth lens. More specifically, f and f4 may further satisfy 1.63.ltoreq.f4.ltoreq.2.39. The condition that f/f4 is less than 2.5 and 1.5 is satisfied, so that the tolerance sensitivity of the fourth lens is reduced; meanwhile, when the fourth lens is a glass lens, the temperature sensitivity of the projection system is reduced, so that higher projection quality can be realized in a larger temperature range.
In an exemplary embodiment, the projection lens of the present application may satisfy the condition-2.4 < R4/R3 < -0.8, where R4 is a radius of curvature of an imaging side surface of the second lens and R3 is a radius of curvature of an image source side surface of the second lens. More specifically, R4 and R3 may further satisfy-2.25 < R4/R3 < -0.85, for example, -2.19.ltoreq.R 4/R3.ltoreq.0.96. Satisfies the condition that R4/R3 is less than-2.4 and less than-0.8, is favorable for reducing the incidence angle and the emergent angle of each view field at the second lens so as to reduce the tolerance sensitivity of the second lens and further improve the production yield of the projection lens.
In an exemplary embodiment, the projection lens of the present application may satisfy the conditional expression 0.8 < T12/T23 < 2.2, where T12 is a distance between the first lens and the second lens on the optical axis, and T23 is a distance between the second lens and the third lens on the optical axis. More specifically, T12 and T23 may further satisfy 0.88.ltoreq.T12/T23.ltoreq.2.11. The method meets the condition that T12/T23 is smaller than 2.2 and is favorable for reasonably distributing the interval distance between the lenses and adjusting the light path distribution, thereby reducing the tolerance sensitivity of the projection system; meanwhile, the lens assembly is facilitated, and the production yield of the projection system is improved.
In an exemplary embodiment, the projection lens of the present application may satisfy the condition of 1.5 < CT4/CT2 < 3.0, wherein CT4 is a center thickness of the fourth lens element on the optical axis, and CT2 is a center thickness of the second lens element on the optical axis. More specifically, CT4 and CT2 may further satisfy 1.59.ltoreq.CT4/CT 2.ltoreq.2.82. The condition that CT4/CT2 is smaller than 3.0 and 1.5 is satisfied is favorable for obtaining better balance between shortening the total optical length TTL of the projection system and improving the processing and manufacturing manufacturability of the second lens and the fourth lens.
In an exemplary embodiment, the projection lens of the present application may satisfy the conditional expression 1.0 < DT42/DT41 < 1.4, wherein DT42 is the maximum effective half-caliber of the image side surface of the fourth lens, and DT41 is the maximum effective half-caliber of the image source side surface of the fourth lens. More specifically, DT42 and DT41 may further satisfy 1.05 < DT42/DT41 < 1.25, e.g., 1.13. Ltoreq.DT 42/DT 41. Ltoreq.1.19. Satisfies the condition that DT42/DT41 is smaller than 1.4 and is beneficial to shortening the total optical length TTL of the projection system to realize miniaturization; at the same time, it is advantageous to better balance the tolerance sensitivity of the projection system.
In an exemplary embodiment, the projection lens of the present application may satisfy the condition that TTL/f < 1.0, where TTL is an on-axis distance from an image source surface to an imaging side surface of the fourth lens, and f is a total effective focal length of the projection lens. More specifically, TTL and f can further satisfy 0.60 < TTL/f < 0.90, e.g., 0.67. Ltoreq.TTL/f. Ltoreq.0.82. The ratio of TTL to f is reasonably controlled, which is beneficial to keeping the miniaturization of the projection lens.
In an exemplary embodiment, the projection lens may further include at least one diaphragm to improve the imaging quality of the lens. For example, a diaphragm may be provided between the fourth lens and the imaging side as needed.
Alternatively, the projection lens may further include other well-known optical projection elements, such as a prism, a field lens, and the like. Alternatively, the projection lens described above can be used in conjunction with a diffractive element (DOE).
The projection lens according to the above embodiment of the present application may employ, for example, four lenses, and may have the beneficial effects of large aperture, miniaturization, high imaging quality, etc. by reasonably distributing the focal power of each lens, the surface, the center thickness of each lens, the on-axis spacing between each lens, etc.
In an embodiment of the present application, at least one of the mirrors of each lens is an aspherical mirror. The aspherical lens is characterized in that: the curvature varies continuously from the center of the lens to the periphery of the lens. Unlike a spherical lens having a constant curvature from the center of the lens to the periphery of the lens, an aspherical lens has a better radius of curvature characteristic, and has advantages of improving distortion aberration and improving astigmatic aberration. By adopting the aspherical lens, aberration occurring at the time of imaging can be eliminated as much as possible, thereby improving imaging quality.
However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the various results and advantages described in this specification can be obtained by varying the number of lenses making up a projection lens without departing from the technical solution claimed in the present application. For example, although four lenses are described as an example in the embodiment, the projection lens is not limited to include four lenses. The projection lens may also include other numbers of lenses, if desired.
