Description

TITLE OF THE INVENTION High Resolution Miniature Wide-Angle Lens

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] The present application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/966,718, filed on January 28, 2020, entitled “High resolution miniature wide-angle lens,” currently pending, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference herein.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of optical lenses and their design and more particularly of an optical construction designed for use on a high-resolution image sensor in a miniature mobile application.

[0003] Existing optical lenses fail to offer wide-angle fields of view between 110° and 140° for miniature consumer lenses having a ratio between the optical lens total track length and the image footprint diameter between 0.85 and 0.95 with a distortion profile creating a resolution curve having a maximum number of pixels/degree that is at least 1.75 times larger than the resolution value in the center of the field of view and at least 1.75 times larger than the resolution value at the edge of the field of view.

[0004] This unique combination of total field of view, ratio between the total track length and the image footprint diameter and resolution curve would allow for a miniature optical lens creating a high quality image on a larger sensor to be built, with a distortion profile offering the best tradeoff between keeping proportions and keeping straight lines for this kind of wide-angle lens. A new construction for a miniature wide-angle is required to achieve all of these requirements.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0005] To overcome all the previously mentioned issues, embodiments of the present invention present a novel optical lens construction having a wide-angle total field of view between 110° and 140° including at least six optical elements and having a ratio between the optical lens total track length and the image footprint diameter between 0.85 and 0.95. The lens has a distortion profile creating a resolution curve having a maximum number of pixels/degree that is at least 1.75 times larger than the resolution value in the center of the field of view and at least 1.75 times larger than the resolution value at the edge of the field of view, offering the best tradeoff between keeping proportions and keeping straight lines for this kind of wide-angle lens. In order to achieve the desired resolution curve and keep a good balance of image quality, the object-side surface of the first element is concave in a central region around the optical axis and convex in an outer region surrounding the central region, the image-side surface of the first element is convex in a central region around the optical axis and concave in an outer region surrounding the central region, the object-side surface of the last element is convex in a central region around the optical axis and concave in an outer region surrounding the central region and the image-side surface of the last element is concave in a central region around the optical axis and convex in an outer region surrounding the central region.

[0021] Fig. 1 shows the layout 100 of the optical lens for a first embodiment according to the present invention. The lens includes six optical elements made of plastic material. In an alternate embodiment according to the present invention, at least one of the elements could also be made of glass or other optical material, including diffractive elements or meta-material element.

[0022] Also on the figure, the rays 150 represent the rays coming from an object in the center of the field of view (object angle of 0°) while the rays 160 represent the rays coming from an object at the maximum field of view (object angle of 62.5°). Because of symmetry, the total field of view of this lens is twice this angle, for a total field of view of 125°. With this unique combination of 6 optical elements including 12 aspherical freeform surfaces, with 9 surfaces having at least one change of curvature from either concave to convex or convex to concave, this lens construction can achieve better distortion control as will be explained with respect to Fig. 4 than existing prior art, while keeping a ratio between the optical lens total track length 105 and the image footprint diameter 110 of 0.905, which is within the target between 0.85 and 0.95, allowing a miniature optical lens that covers the full diagonal of large image sensors having generally resolutions of 5 to 25MPx depending on the pixel size.

[0033] The table at Fig. 10 shows the main parameters of the optical prescription for the optical lens for the third embodiment according to the present invention. In this table, surface 0 represents the object at an infinite distance from the lens, surfaces 1 to 4 and 6 to 13 represent the 6 aspherical optical elements, surface 5 represents the aperture stop, surfaces 14 and 15 represent the coverglass also acting as an IR filter and surface 16 is the image plane.

[0034] The table of Fig. 11 shows the conic constant, the normalization radius and the aspherical coefficient for the 12 aspherical freeform surfaces in this optical lens for the third embodiment. For each surface, the sag Z at a given height r is given by the equation:

[0035] Fig. 12 shows the resolution curve 1200 resulting from the unique distortion profile of the optical lens for the third embodiment according to the present invention. The resolution curve is the mathematical derivative of the position curve, which is the image height in the image plane in pm as a function of the field of view angle in degree. The resolution curve is thus given in pm/degree as a function of the field of view angle in degree. The resolution curve for the optical lens according to the present invention has a maximum resolution of 67.6 pm/° at an object angle of 47.6° shown at 1220 on the graph, a resolution value of 35.2 pm/° in the center where the object angle is 0° shown at 1210 on the graph and a resolution value of 33.4 pm/° at the edge of the field of view where the object angle is 62.5° shown at 1230 on the graph. The ratio between the maximum value and the central value is «1.92 and the ratio between the maximum value and the edge value is «2.02. Both of these ratios are higher than 1.75, allowing the ideal balance between keeping the straight lines in the object as straight as possible in the image as well as keeping the ideal proportions especially in the comers of the image without undesirable stretching.

[0036] All embodiments presented were using aspherical shapes with rotational symmetry, but any freeform surface with or without rotational symmetry could also be used according to the present invention. In some embodiments, at least one asymmetric freeform surface could be used to create an anamorphic image plane in which the focal length in a first direction is larger than the focal length in a second perpendicular direction. This optional stretching of the image in a direction is useful especially when the image sensor is of rectangular shape and the lens is optimal when having different magnifications in both main directions of the image sensor. In these cases, the field of view in a first direction could be different or not from the field of view in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

[0037] All of the above figures and example show embodiments of the miniature optical lens having a total field of view between 110° and 140°, but other similar embodiments could be possible with small departures from the present lens prescriptions. In most embodiments, the optical lenses have a ratio between the optical lens total track length and the image footprint diameter between 0.85 and 0.95. In most embodiments, the lenses have a distortion profile creating a resolution curve having a maximum number of pixels/degree that is at least 1.75 times larger than the resolution value in the center of the field of view and at least 1.75 times larger than the resolution value at the edge of the field of view. In most embodiments, in order to achieve the desired resolution curve and keeping a good balance of image quality, the object-side surface of the first element has a concave curvature in a central region around the optical axis and a convex curvature in an outer region surrounding the central region, the image -side surface of the first element has a convex curvature in a central region around the optical axis and a concave curvature in an outer region surrounding the central region, the object-side surface of the last element has a convex curvature in a central region around the optical axis and a concave curvature in an outer region surrounding the central region and the image-side surface of the last element has a concave curvature in a central region around the optical axis and a convex curvature in an outer region surrounding the central region. In addition to these four surfaces having a change of curvature from either concave to convex or convex to concave from the center to the edge of the surface, in most embodiments there are at least eight total surfaces having these changes of curvature.

[0038] These examples are not intended to be an exhaustive list or to limit the scope and spirit of the present invention. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes could be made to the embodiments described above without departing from the broad inventive concept thereof. It is understood, therefore, that this invention is not limited to the particular embodiments disclosed, but it is intended to cover modifications within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
