Projection zoom lens system and projection type display apparatus
View Patent ↗In order from a magnification side of the projection zoom lens system, five lens groups are arranged. The fourth lens group includes, in order from the magnification side, a negative lens having at least one aspheric surface, a positive lens, a negative lens concave toward the magnification side, a positive lens convex toward the reduction side, and a positive lens. The fifth lens group is formed of one lens, and is configured so that a ratio of a focal length of the fifth lens group to a focal length of the whole system at a wide-angle end is within a numerical range of 3 to 8.
1. A projection zoom lens system comprising, in order from a magnification side of the projection zoom lens:
a first lens group having a negative refractive power;
a second lens group having a positive refractive power;
a third lens group having a positive refractive power;
a fourth lens group; and
a fifth lens group having a positive refractive power,
wherein during a power variable operation, the first lens group and the fifth lens group remain stationary, and the second lens group, the third lens group, and the fourth lens group are moved along an optical axis,
wherein the fourth lens group includes, in order from the magnification side of the projection zoom lens, a negative lens having at least one aspheric surface, a positive lens, a negative lens concave toward the magnification side of the projection zoom lens, a positive lens convex toward a reduction side of the projection zoom lens, and a positive lens, and
wherein the fifth lens group is formed of one lens, and satisfies the following conditional expression (1):
3 <f 5 /f w <8 (1),
where
f 5 is a focal length of the fifth lens group, and
f w is a focal length of the whole system of the projection zoom lens at a wide-angle end of the projection zoom lens.
2. The projection zoom lens system according to claim 1 , wherein the negative lens of the fourth lens group concave toward the magnification side of the projection zoom lens and the positive lens thereof convex toward the reduction side of the projection zoom lens are cemented to each other and formed as a cemented lens.
3. The projection zoom lens system according to claim 1 , wherein at least one lens of the first lens group has at least one aspheric surface.
4. The projection zoom lens system according to claim 1 , wherein the following conditional expressions (2) and (3) are satisfied:
2ω≧65 (degrees) (2), and
f t /f w ≧1.48 (3),
where
2ω is a total angle of view at the wide-angle end of the projection zoom lens, and
f t is a focal length of the whole system at a telephoto end of the projection zoom lens.
5. The projection zoom lens system according to claim 1 , wherein the following conditional expression (4) is satisfied:
Bf/f w >1.5 (4),
where
Bf is an air-converted back focal length of the whole system on the reduction side of the projection zoom lens.
6. The projection zoom lens system according to claim 1 , wherein the following conditional expression (5) is satisfied:
1.0 <ΔdG 3 /f w (5),
where
ΔdG 3 is a moving distance of the third lens group from the wide-angle end of the projection zoom lens to the telephoto end of the projection zoom lens during the power variable operation.
7. A projection type display apparatus comprising:
a light source;
a light valve;
an illumination optical unit guiding rays originating from the light source into the light valve; and
a projection zoom lens system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the rays originated from the light source are optically modulated by the light valve, and are projected on a screen by the projection zoom lens system.
