22<ν2<35 (2)
where ν1 is the Abbe number for d-line of the first lens, and ν2 is the Abbe number for d-line of the second lens.
Conditional expression (1) above defines the Abbe number of the first lens. If the lower limit indicated by conditional expression (1) is exceeded, the variance value difference from the second lens is decreased so that chromatic aberration correction is insufficient. If, on the contrary, the upper limit is exceeded, the balance between axial chromatic aberration and chromatic aberration of magnification is impaired so that performance deterioration occurs at the periphery of an image area.
Conditional expression (2) above defines the Abbe number of the second lens. If the lower limit indicated by conditional expression (2) is exceeded, the balance between axial chromatic aberration and off-axis chromatic aberration is impaired so that performance deterioration occurs at the periphery of the image area. If, on the contrary, the upper limit is exceeded, the variance value difference from the first lens is decreased so that chromatic aberration correction is insufficient.
The image pickup lens described in aspect 3 of the invention is configured so that the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, and the fifth lens are so-called plastic lenses that have at least one aspherical surface and are made of a resin material.
Cost reduction can be achieved when at least the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, and the fifth lens are made of an inexpensive resin material exhibiting high production efficiency.
The image pickup lens described in aspect 4 of the invention is configured so that an aperture stop is positioned on the object side of the first lens.
As the aperture stop is positioned on the object side of the first lens, it is easy to reduce a CRA (Chief Ray Angle) and obtain sufficient light intensity at the periphery of an image surface at which light intensity decreases.
The image pickup lens described in aspect 5 of the invention is configured so that the object-side surface and image-side surface of the fifth lens have an aspherical shape, which contains at least one inflection point between the center and the periphery of the lens.
As the object-side surface and image-side surface of the fifth lens have an aspherical shape that contains at least one inflection point between the center and the periphery of the lens, it is possible to obtain adequate off-axis performance and CRA.
The image pickup lens described in aspect 6 of the invention is configured so that the first lens and the second lens satisfy conditional expressions (3) and (4) below:
0.50<f1/f<1.00 (3)
−1.50<f2/f<−0.65 (4)
where f is the composite focal length of lenses included in the entire image pickup lens, f1 is the focal length of the first lens, and f2 is the focal length of the second lens.
Conditional expression (3) above defines the range of the focal length of the first lens with respect to the focal length of the entire image pickup lens. If the lower limit indicated by conditional expression (3) is exceeded, the focal length of the first lens is too small. This makes it difficult to correct spherical aberration and coma aberration. If, on the contrary, the upper limit is exceeded, the optical length is too great so that the thickness of the image pickup lens cannot be sufficiently reduced.
Conditional expression (4) above defines the range of the focal length of the second lens with respect to the focal length of the entire image pickup lens. If the lower limit indicated by conditional expression (4) is exceeded, the power of the second lens is insufficient so that chromatic aberration cannot be adequately corrected. If, on the contrary, the upper limit is exceeded, the focal length of the second lens is too small. This not only makes it difficult to correct spherical aberration and coma aberration, but also decreases manufacturing error sensitivity.
The image pickup lens described in aspect 7 of the invention is configured so that the fourth lens and the fifth lens satisfy conditional expressions (5) and (6) below:
0.9<f4/f<1.50 (5)
−1.70<f5/f<−0.85 (6)
where f is the composite focal length of lenses included in the entire image pickup lens, f4 is the focal length of the fourth lens, and f5 is the focal length of the fifth lens.
Conditional expression (5) above defines the range of the focal length of the fourth lens with respect to the focal length of the entire image pickup lens. If the lower limit indicated by conditional expression (5) is exceeded, the focal length of the fourth lens is too small. This makes it difficult to correct astigmatism and coma aberration, and decreases the manufacturing error sensitivity. If, on the contrary, the upper limit is exceeded, chromatic aberration of magnification and astigmatism are not adequately corrected so that expected performance is not obtained.
Conditional expression (6) above defines the range of the focal length of the fifth lens with respect to the focal length of the entire image pickup lens. If the lower limit indicated by conditional expression (6) is exceeded, the power of the fifth lens is insufficient. This makes it difficult to decrease the optical length. If, on the contrary, the upper limit is exceeded, it is difficult to decrease the CRA, thereby decreasing the manufacturing error sensitivity at low image height.
The image pickup lens described in aspect 8 of the invention is configured so that the first lens and the third lens satisfy conditional expression (7) below:
−0.15<f1/f3<0.37 (7)
where f1 is the focal length of the first lens, and f3 is the focal length of the third lens.
Conditional expression (7) above defines the ratio between the focal length of the first lens and the focal length of the third lens. If the lower limit indicated by conditional expression (7) is exceeded, the focal length of the third lens is negative and too small. This makes it difficult to provide aberration correction. If, on the contrary, the upper limit is exceeded, the focal length of the third lens is positive and too small. This impairs the balance between astigmatism and coma aberration and decreases the manufacturing error sensitivity.
The image pickup lens described in aspect 9 of the invention is configured so that the second lens, the third lens, and the fourth lens satisfy conditional expression (8) below:
0.0<f2·3·4 (8)
where f2·3·4 is the composite focal length of the second, third, and fourth lenses.
Conditional expression (8) above defines the composite focal length of the second, third, and fourth lens. If the lower limit indicated by conditional expression (8) is exceeded, the negative power of the second lens is too strong so that the manufacturing error sensitivity is excessively low, or the positive power of the fourth lens is too weak so that it is difficult to correct astigmatism and distortion.
The image pickup lens described in aspect 10 of the invention is configured so that the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, and the fifth lens satisfy conditional expressions (9), (10), and (11) below:
f1<|f2|<|f3| (9)
f1<f4<|f3| (10)
f1<|f5|<|f3| (11)
where f1 is the focal length of the first lens, f2 is the focal length of the second lens, f3 is the focal length of the third lens, f4 is the focal length of the fourth lens, and f5 is the focal length of the fifth lens.
Conditional expression (9) above defines the power relationship, that is, the focal length relationship, between the first lens, the second lens, and the third lens. If the lower limit indicated by conditional expression (9) is exceeded, the negative power of the second lens is too strong. This increases the optical length and decreases the manufacturing error sensitivity. If, on the contrary, the upper limit is exceeded, the power of the third lens is too strong so that it is difficult to obtain adequate off-axis performance.
Conditional expression (10) above defines the power relationship, that is, the focal length relationship, between the first lens, the third lens, and the fourth lens. If the lower limit indicated by conditional expression (10) is exceeded, the power of the fourth lens is too strong. This increases the optical length and makes it difficult to correct astigmatism and distortion. If, on the contrary, the upper limit is exceeded, the power of the third lens is too strong so that it is difficult to obtain adequate off-axis performance.
Conditional expression (11) above defines the power relationship, that is, the focal length relationship, between the first lens, the third lens, and the fifth lens. If the lower limit indicated by conditional expression (11) is exceeded, the negative power of the fifth lens is too strong. This makes it difficult to correct coma aberration and astigmatism. If, on the contrary, the upper limit is exceeded, the power of the third lens is too strong so that it is difficult to obtain adequate off-axis performance.
The third lens has a weaker power than the other lenses. However, its front and rear aspherical surfaces effectively work to reduce an aberration caused within the second lens. Particularly, its fourth-order aspherical coefficient effectively works and plays an important role to exhibit performance characteristics specific to a combination of five lenses.
The image pickup lens described in aspect 11 of the invention is configured so that the curvature radius of the first lens satisfies conditional expression (12) below:
−0.40<r1/r2<0.10 (12)
where r1 is the curvature radius of the object-side surface of the first lens, and r2 is the curvature radius of the image-side surface of the first lens.
Conditional expression (12) above defines the lens shape of the first lens. If the lower limit indicated by conditional expression (12) is exceeded, the optical length cannot be readily reduced. In addition, the error sensitivity prevailing during the manufacture of the first lens becomes low. If, on the contrary, the upper limit is exceeded, it is difficult to maintain a proper aberration balance so that expected performance is not obtained.
The image pickup lens described in aspect 12 of the invention is configured so that the curvature radius of the fourth lens satisfies conditional expression (13) below:
1.4<r7/r8<3.0 (13)
where r7 is the curvature radius of the object-side surface of the fourth lens, and r8 is the curvature radius of the image-side surface of the fourth lens.
Conditional expression (13) above defines the lens shape of the fourth lens. If the lower limit indicated by conditional expression (13) is exceeded, the power of the fourth lens is too weak. Consequently, performance deterioration occurs because it is difficult to correct various aberrations. If, on the contrary, the upper limit is exceeded, the fourth lens has an excessively strong power or has a small degree of meniscus curvature. In this instance, too, it is difficult to maintain a proper aberration balance so that expected performance is not obtained.
The image pickup lens described in aspect 13 of the invention is configured so that its image pickup optical system's optical length and focal length satisfy conditional expression (14) below:
1.05<L/f<1.30 (14)
where L is the distance between the front surface of the first lens and the image surface, and f is the composite focal length of lenses included in the entire image pickup lens.
Conditional expression (14) above defines the optical length with respect to the focal length. If the lower limit indicated by conditional expression (14) is exceeded, it is difficult to correct various aberrations due to an excessively decreased optical length. In addition, the manufacturing error sensitivity becomes excessively low. If, on the contrary, the upper limit is exceeded, it is difficult to reduce the thickness of the image pickup lens due to an excessively increased optical length.
The image pickup lens described in claim 14 of the invention is configured so that the diameter of the aperture stop satisfies conditional expression (15) below:
0.30<CA1/f<0.50 (15)
where CA1 is the diameter of the aperture stop, and f is the composite focal length of lenses included in the entire image pickup lens.
Conditional expression (15) above defines the F-number (Fno), which is an indication of lens brightness. If the lower limit indicated by conditional expression (15) is exceeded, the F-number is excessively great so that requested brightness is not achieved in most cases. If, on the contrary, the upper limit is exceeded, the F-number is excessively small or the distance between an aperture stop (F-number light flux restriction plate) and the front surface of the first lens is excessively great. In either of these cases, expected optical performance is not obtained.
The image pickup lens according to the present invention includes five lenses (the first to fifth lenses). Further, the third lens plays a role that is not found in a conventional four-lens configuration. Therefore, the present invention makes it possible to provide a high-performance, low-cost, compact lens in which various aberrations are properly corrected to support large-size, high-resolution image pickup elements having highly minute pixels.
Embodiments of the present invention will now be described by using concrete numerical values. In the first to sixth embodiments, the image pickup lens for a solid-state image pickup element includes, in the order from the object side, an aperture stop S, a first lens L1, a second lens L2, a third lens L3, a fourth lens L4, a fifth lens L5, a plane-parallel glass plate IR, and an image surface.
In the first to sixth embodiments, the second lens L2, the third lens L3, the fourth lens L4, and the fifth lens L5 are so-called plastic lenses that have at least one aspherical surface and are made of a resin material. It should also be noted that the aperture stop S is positioned on the object side of the first lens L1.
The object-side surface and image-side surface of the fifth lens L5 have an aspherical shape that contains at least one inflection point between the center and the periphery of the lens. The aspherical shape in each embodiment is expressed by the following aspherical surface formula in which the vertex of a plane is regarded as the origin, the Z-axis is oriented in the direction of an optical axis, and the height measured perpendicularly to the optical axis is h:
Z=(h2/r)/[1+{1−(1+K)(h2/r2)}½]+A4h4+A6h6+A8h8+ . . .
It should be noted that the following symbols are used in the above aspherical surface formula and in the description of each embodiment:

As shown in Table 7, the first to sixth embodiments of the present invention satisfy all of conditional expressions (1) to (17). Conditional expressions (1) and (2) define the Abbe number of the first lens L1 or the second lens L2. If the lower limit indicated by conditional expression (1) or (2) is exceeded, the variance value difference from the second lens L2 is decreased so that chromatic aberration correction is insufficient. If, on the contrary, the upper limit is exceeded, the balance between axial chromatic aberration and chromatic aberration of magnification is impaired so that performance deterioration occurs at the periphery of the image area. However, when conditional expressions (1) and (2) are satisfied, a proper balance is maintained between axial chromatic aberration and chromatic aberration of magnification. This makes it possible to prevent performance deterioration at the periphery of the image area and provide excellent chromatic aberration correction.
Conditional expressions (3) and (4) define the range of the focal length of the first lens L1 or the second lens L2 with respect to the focal length of the entire image pickup lens. If the lower limit indicated by conditional expression (3) is exceeded, the focal length of the first lens L1 is too small. This makes it difficult to correct spherical aberration and coma aberration. If, on the contrary, the upper limit is exceeded, the optical length is too great so that the thickness of the image pickup lens cannot be sufficiently reduced. If the lower limit indicated by conditional expression (4) is exceeded, the power of the second lens L2 is insufficient so that chromatic aberration cannot be adequately corrected. If, on the contrary, the upper limit is exceeded, the focal length of the second lens L2 is too small. This makes it difficult to correct spherical aberration and coma aberration, and decreases manufacturing error sensitivity. However, when conditional expressions (3) and (4) are satisfied, it is possible to properly correct spherical aberration and coma aberration. Further, the power of the second lens L2 becomes sufficient, making it possible to properly correct chromatic aberration, spherical aberration, and coma aberration.
Conditional expression (5) defines the range of the focal length of the fourth lens L4 with respect to the focal length of the entire image pickup lens. If the lower limit indicated by conditional expression (5) is exceeded, the focal length of the fourth lens L4 is too small. This makes it difficult to correct astigmatism and coma aberration, and decreases the manufacturing error sensitivity. If, on the contrary, the upper limit is exceeded, chromatic aberration of magnification and astigmatism are not adequately corrected so that expected performance is not obtained. However, when conditional expression (5) is satisfied, it is easy to correct astigmatism, coma aberration, and chromatic aberration of magnification. This makes it possible to obtain expected performance.
Conditional expression (6) defines the range of the focal length of the fifth lens L5 with respect to the focal length of the entire image pickup lens. If the lower limit indicated by conditional expression (6) is exceeded, the power of the fifth lens L5 is insufficient. This makes it difficult to decrease the optical length. If on the contrary, the upper limit is exceeded, it is difficult to decrease the CRA, thereby decreasing the manufacturing error sensitivity at low image height. However, when conditional expression (6) is satisfied, the fifth lens L5 has a sufficient power, making it possible to reduce the optical length. This makes it easy to decrease the CRA so that the manufacturing error sensitivity at low image height increases.
Conditional expression (7) defines the ratio between the focal length of the first lens L1 and the focal length of the third lens L3. If the lower limit indicated by conditional expression (7) is exceeded, the focal length of the third lens L3 is negative and too small. This makes it difficult to provide aberration correction. If, on the contrary, the upper limit is exceeded, the focal length of the third lens L3 is positive and too small. This impairs the balance between astigmatism and coma aberration and decreases the manufacturing error sensitivity. However, when conditional expression (7) is satisfied, it is easy to provide aberration correction. Further, it is possible not only to prevent the focal length of the third lens L3 from being positive and too small, but also to maintain an excellent balance between astigmatism and coma aberration.
Conditional expression (8) defines the composite focal length of the second lens L2, the third lens L3, and the fourth lens L4. If the lower limit indicated by conditional expression (8) is exceeded, the negative power of the second lens L2 is too strong so that the manufacturing error sensitivity is excessively low, or the positive power of the fourth lens L4 is too weak so that it is difficult to correct astigmatism and distortion. However, when conditional expression (8) is satisfied, it is easy to correct astigmatism and distortion.
Conditional expression (9) defines the power relationship, that is, the focal length relationship, between the first lens L1, the second lens L2, and the third lens L3. If the lower limit indicated by conditional expression (9) is exceeded, the negative power of the second lens L2 is too strong. This increases the optical length and decreases the manufacturing error sensitivity. If, on the contrary, the upper limit is exceeded, the power of the third lens is too strong so that it is difficult to obtain adequate off-axis performance. However, when conditional expression (9) is satisfied, it is possible to decrease the optical length and easily obtain adequate off-axis performance.
Conditional expression (10) defines the power relationship, that is, the focal length relationship, between the first lens L1, the third lens L3, and the fourth lens L4. If the lower limit indicated by conditional expression (10) is exceeded, the power of the fourth lens L4 is too strong. This increases the optical length and makes it difficult to correct astigmatism and distortion. If, on the contrary, the upper limit is exceeded, the power of the third lens L3 is too strong so that it is difficult to obtain adequate off-axis performance. However, when conditional expression (10) is satisfied, it is easy to correct astigmatism and distortion and obtain adequate off-axis performance.
Conditional expression (11) defines the power relationship, that is, the focal length relationship, between the first lens L1, the third lens L3, and the fifth lens L5. If the lower is limit indicated by conditional expression (11) is exceeded, the negative power of the fifth lens L5 is too strong. This makes it difficult to correct coma aberration and astigmatism. If, on the contrary, the upper limit is exceeded, the power of the third lens L3 is too strong so that it is difficult to obtain adequate off-axis performance. However, when conditional expression (11) is satisfied, it is easy to correct coma aberration and astigmatism and obtain adequate off-axis performance.
Conditional expression (12) defines the lens shape of the first lens L1. If the lower limit indicated by conditional expression (12) is exceeded, the optical length cannot be readily reduced. In addition, the error sensitivity prevailing during the manufacture of the first lens L1 becomes low. If, on the contrary, the upper limit is exceeded, it is difficult to maintain a proper aberration balance so that expected performance is not obtained. However, when conditional expression (12) is satisfied, the optical length can be readily reduced. In addition, it is possible to maintain a proper aberration balance and obtain expected performance.
Conditional expression (13) defines the lens shape of the fourth lens L4. If the lower limit indicated by conditional expression (13) is exceeded, the power of the fourth lens L4 is too weak. Consequently, performance deterioration occurs because it is difficult to correct various aberrations. If, on the contrary, the upper limit is exceeded, the fourth lens L4 has an excessively strong power or has a small degree of meniscus curvature. In this instance, too, it is difficult to maintain a proper aberration balance so that expected performance is not obtained. However, when conditional expression (13) is satisfied, it is easy to correct various aberrations and maintain a proper aberration balance. As a result, expected performance is obtained.
Conditional expression (14) defines the optical length with respect to the focal length. If the lower limit indicated by conditional expression (14) is exceeded, it is difficult to correct various aberrations due to an excessively decreased optical length. In addition, the manufacturing error sensitivity becomes excessively low. If, on the contrary, the upper limit is exceeded, it is difficult to reduce the thickness of the image pickup lens due to an excessively increased optical length. However, when conditional expression (14) is satisfied, it is easy to correct various aberrations. In addition, the thickness of the image pickup lens can be readily reduced because the optical length is not excessively small.
Conditional expression (15) defines the F-number (Fno), which is an indication of lens brightness. If the lower limit indicated by conditional expression (15) is exceeded, the F-number is excessively great so that requested brightness is not achieved in most cases. If, on the contrary, the upper limit is exceeded, the F-number is excessively small or the distance between the aperture stop (F-number light flux restriction plate) and the front surface of the first lens is excessively great. In either of these cases, expected optical performance is not obtained. However, when conditional expression (15) is satisfied, the expected optical performance can be obtained with ease.
Further, the second lens L2, the third lens L3, the fourth lens L4, and the fifth lens L5 are so-called plastic lenses that have at least one aspherical surface and are made of a resin material. Cost reduction can be achieved when at least the second lens L2, the third lens L3, the fourth lens L4, and the fifth lens L5 are made of an inexpensive resin material exhibiting high production efficiency.
Furthermore, as the aperture stop S is positioned on the object side of the first lens L1 to decrease the CRA (Chief Ray Angle), it is easy to reduce the CRA (Chief Ray Angle) and obtain sufficient light intensity at the periphery of the image surface at which light intensity decreases.
Moreover, as the object side surface and image side surface of the fifth lens L5 have an aspherical shape that contains at least one inflection point between the center and the periphery of the lens, it is possible to obtain adequate off-axis performance and CRA.
While the present invention has been described in terms of exemplary embodiments, it should be understood that the invention is not limited to those exemplary embodiments. Those skilled in the art will understand that various changes and modifications can be made within the scope and spirit of the invention.
