Abstract

The present invention provides a micro-projection lens including first lens group, a second lens group, and a third lens group arranged in sequence along an optical axis from a screen side to a light modulator side. The first lens group has positive refractive power and includes at least an aspheric lens. The second lens group has negative refractive power and includes at least a glass tablet. The third lens group has positive refractive power and includes at least an aspheric lens. Therefore, the micro-projection lens of the present invention has a small size and high optical performance.

Claims (12)

1. A micro-projection lens comprising first lens group, a second lens group, and a third lens group arranged in sequence along an optical axis from a screen side to a light modulator side; the first lens group having positive refractive power and including at least an aspheric lens; the second lens group having negative refractive power and including at least a glass tablet; the third lens group having positive refractive power and including at least an aspheric lens wherein the first lens group includes a first lens and a second lens, and has a limitation of 0.4<f 2 /F 12 <0.95, wherein the f 2 is an effective focus length of the second lens and F 12 a composite focus length of the first lens and the second lens.

2. The micro-projection lens as defined in claim 1 , wherein the first lens group includes a first lens having negative refractive power and a second lens having positive refractive power.

3. The micro-projection lens as defined in claim 1 , wherein the first lens group includes a first lens and a second lens, and both of the first lens and the second lens are plastic aspheric lenses.

4. The micro-projection lens as defined in claim 1 , wherein the second lens group includes a third lens having negative refractive power and a fourth lens having positive refractive power.

5. The micro-projection lens as defined in claim 1 , wherein the third lens group has a fifth lens, and both surfaces of the fifth lens are aspheric.

6. The micro-projection lens as defined in claim 1 , further comprising an aperture between the first lens group and the second lens group.

7. A micro-projection lens comprising first lens group, a second lens group, and a third lens group arranged in sequence along an optical axis from a screen side to a light modulator side; the first lens group having positive refractive power and including at least an aspheric lens; the second lens group having negative refractive power and including at least a glass tablet; the third lens group having positive refractive power and including at least an aspheric lens wherein the second lens group includes a third lens and a fourth lens, and the third lens and the fourth lens are bonded together to form the tablet, and the tablet has a limitation of 0.1<f 3 /F 34 <0.5, wherein the f 3 is an effective focus length of the third lens and F 34 a composite focus length of the third lens and the fourth lens.

8. The micro-projection lens as defined in claim 7 , wherein the first lens group includes a first lens having negative refractive power and a second lens having positive refractive power.

9. The micro-projection lens as defined in claim 7 , wherein the first lens group includes a first lens and a second lens, and both of the first lens and the second lens are plastic aspheric lenses.

10. The micro-projection lens as defined in claim 7 , wherein the second lens group includes a third lens having negative refractive power and a fourth lens having positive refractive power.

11. The micro-projection lens as defined in claim 7 , wherein the third lens group has a fifth lens, and both surfaces of the fifth lens are aspheric.

12. The micro-projection lens as defined in claim 7 , further comprising an aperture between the first lens group and the second lens group.
