Referring to fig. 1, a periscopic lens 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of optical elements arranged along a first optical axis AX1 and a second optical axis AX2 of the periscopic lens 10, and sequentially includes, from an object side to an image side:
The first lens element L1 with positive refractive power disposed on the first optical axis AX1, wherein an object-side surface S1 of the first lens element L1 is convex and an image-side surface S2 is planar;
an optical path folding element L0 configured to direct light from the first optical axis AX1 to the second optical axis AX2;

A third lens element L3 with negative refractive power disposed on the second optical axis AX 2;
the fourth lens element L4 with negative refractive power disposed on the second optical axis AX2, wherein an image-side surface S15 of the fourth lens element L4 is concave;
A fifth lens element L5 with negative refractive power disposed on the second optical axis AX 2;
the first lens L1 to the fifth lens L5 at least comprise a plane, the first lens L1 is glued on the light path folding element L0, and the periscope type lens 10 satisfies the following conditional expressions of f1>0 and f25>0, wherein f1 is the effective focal length of the first lens L1, and f25 is the combined focal length of the second lens L2 to the fifth lens L5.
The periscope type lens 10 of the embodiment of the invention meets the above conditional expression, reasonably distributes the focal power, and achieves the effects of shooting distance and miniaturization of transverse caliber, thereby better adapting to the requirements of light and thin electronic device 100.
It can be understood that the periscope type lens 10 satisfies the conditional expressions of f1>0 and f25>0, and the reasonable distribution of the focal power is beneficial to realizing the tele function and the transverse caliber miniaturization of the periscope type lens 10. Specifically, downsizing of the apertures of the second lens L2, the third lens L3, the fourth lens L4, and the fifth lens L5 is facilitated. In this way, by reducing the lateral caliber of the periscope lens 10, the periscope lens 10 is miniaturized, so that the periscope lens 10 is better suitable for the requirement of light and thin electronic device 100.
Further, the first lens element L1 with positive refractive power is bonded to the optical path folding element L0, so that the lateral aperture of the periscope lens 10 can be effectively reduced, that is, the apertures of the second lens element L2, the third lens element L3, the fourth lens element L4, and the fifth lens element L5 can be reduced. In the example of the present invention, the image side surface of the first lens L1 is a plane.
In the present embodiment, the first optical axis AX1 is substantially perpendicular to the second optical axis AX2. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the first optical axis may form an angle with the second optical axis other than 90 degrees.
In some embodiments, periscope lens 10 satisfies the following conditional expressions 1.75< TTL/(ImgH 2) <2.2;25< HFOV <28; and 0.55< DL/TTL <0.7, where TTL is the distance from the object side of second lens L2 to image sensor 20 on second optical axis AX2, imgH is half the effective pixel area diagonal of periscope lens, HFOV is 1/2 field angle in the diagonal direction of image sensor 20, DL is the distance from the object side of second lens L2 to the image side of fifth lens L5 on second optical axis AX 2.
In this way, the compact and rational structural layout and rational distribution of optical power provide good imaging of periscope lens 10 over a viewable field of view. Specifically, in some examples, the TTL/(ImgH 2) value may be 1.76, 1.80, 1.93, 2.0, 2.1, or other values between 1.75 and 2.2. The HFOV may take on values of 26, 27 or other values between 25 and 28. The DL/TTL can take on values of 0.56, 0.19, 0.6, 0.65, or other values between 0.55 and 0.7.
In some embodiments, the periscope lens 10 satisfies the following conditional expression 0.9< TTL/f <1, where f is the effective focal length of the periscope lens 10, and TTL is the distance from the object side surface of the second lens L2 to the image sensor 20 on the second optical axis AX 2.
Thus, the compact and reasonable structural layout and reasonable distribution of the focal power realize the function of taking the periscope type lens 10 and ensure the imaging quality. Specifically, in some examples, TTL/f can take on values of 0.91, 0.94, 0.96, 0.99, or other values between 0.9 and 1.
In some embodiments, periscope lens 10 satisfies the following conditional expression that T34/T45<0.5, wherein T34 is the air spacing of third lens L3 and fourth lens L4 on second optical axis AX2, and T45 is the air spacing of fourth lens L4 and fifth lens L5 on second optical axis AX 2.
Therefore, the reasonable layout of the size structure realizes the length dimension of the compression periscope lens 10, can slow down the direction change after light enters the system, and is beneficial to reducing the intensity of stray light. Specifically, in some examples, T34/T45 may take on values of 0.45, 0.4, 0.3, or other values of 0.3 or more and less than 0.5.
In some embodiments, periscope lens 10 satisfies the following conditional expression of |f3/f4| >1, where f3 is the effective focal length of third lens L3 and f4 is the effective focal length of fourth lens L4.
Thus, the focal power balance is facilitated, the telephoto function is realized, and the sensitivity of the periscope lens 10 is slowed down. Specifically, in some examples, |f3/f4| may take on values of 1.2, 2, 4, or other values greater than 1.
In some embodiments, periscopic lens 10 satisfies the following conditional expression of |f2/f1| >0.05, where f2 is the effective focal length of second lens L2.
In this way, power balancing is facilitated, the aperture size of the plurality of lateral lenses is compressed, while the sensitivity of the periscope lens 10 is slowed down. Specifically, in some examples, the value of i f2/f1 may be 0.06, 0.1, 0.5, or other values greater than 0.05.
In some embodiments, periscope lens 10 satisfies the following conditional expression of V3-V2 >30, where V3 is the Abbe number of third lens L3 and V2 is the Abbe number of second lens L2.
Thus, correction of chromatic aberration and assurance of performance of the periscope lens 10 are facilitated. Specifically, in some examples, |v3-v2| may take on values of 31, 35, 40, or other values greater than 30.
In some embodiments, at least one surface of at least one of the periscope lenses 10 is aspheric.
Thus, the aspheric surface is beneficial to correcting the aberration of the periscope lens 10 and reducing the number of lenses used, so that the total length of the periscope lens 10 can be effectively reduced. It will be appreciated that the aspherical surface is easily formed in a shape other than a spherical surface, and a large number of control variables can be obtained, which is advantageous not only in reducing aberrations but also in reducing the number of lenses.
In some embodiments, periscope lens 10 includes an aperture stop AS. The aperture stop AS is located on the object side of the second lens L2 or between the second lens L2 and the fifth lens L5.
In this way, the lateral aperture of the periscope lens 10, that is, the apertures of the second lens L2, the third lens L3, the fourth lens L4, and the fifth lens L5 can be advantageously reduced. It will be appreciated that according to epd=efl/Fno (EPD is the entrance pupil diameter, EFL is the effective focal length, fno is the F-number), for certain conditions of EFL and Fno, EPD is also certain. The periscope lens 10 images and includes a first lens L1, a prism, a second lens L2, a third lens L3, a fourth lens L4 and a fifth lens L5, and an aperture stop AS is arranged, and an entrance pupil is an image formed by a system part before the stop passes through the aperture stop, so that the aperture of the second lens L2, the third lens L3, the fourth lens L4 and the fifth lens L5 can be miniaturized.
In some embodiments, the light path folding element L0 is a prism. Thus, the prism is used to turn the light path. Specifically, the prism is a triangular prism.
In some embodiments, at least one of the periscope lens 10 is made of a first plastic material and at least one other lens is made of a second plastic material, the first plastic material having optical characteristics that are different from the optical characteristics of the second plastic material.
Thus, the lenses are made of plastic materials with different optical characteristics, which is beneficial to ensuring the performance of the periscope lens 10. The optical characteristics are, for example, abbe number and/or refractive index. Specifically, the first lens L1, the second lens L2, the fourth lens L4, and the fifth lens L5 are made of a first plastic material, and the third lens L3 is made of a second plastic material. In one example, the refractive index of the first plastic material is 1.544 and the refractive index of the second plastic material is 1.65.
In the periscope lens 10 of the present invention, a convex lens surface means that a portion of the lens surface close to the optical axis of the periscope lens 10 is convex, and a concave lens surface means that a portion of the lens surface close to the optical axis of the periscope lens 10 is concave.
The shape of the aspherical surface is determined by the following formula:
Where h is the height from any point on the aspherical surface to the optical axis, c is the vertex curvature, k is the conic constant, ai is the correction factor of the i-th order of the aspherical surface.
