Abstract

A fisheye lens assembly and an electronic apparatus are disclosed. The fisheye lens has an angle of view of 150° or more, includes a plurality of lenses including an aspherical lens having an inflection point on one surface or both surfaces thereof, and satisfies the expression 35 μm≤SAG_MAX, where SAG_MAX denotes a maximum value of absolute values of SAG values of inflection points of the aspherical lens.

Claims (38)

1. A fisheye lens assembly comprising:

a plurality of lenses sequentially arranged from an object side to an image sensor side and having an angle of view of 150° or more,

wherein the plurality of lenses comprise an aspherical lens having an inflection point on one surface or both surfaces thereof,

wherein the aspherical lens is located closest to the image sensor side among the plurality of lenses and satisfies the expressions below:

35 μm≤ SAG _MAX,

1.4≤ Nd≤ 1.7, and

10≤ Abv≤ 60,

where SAG_MAX denotes a maximum value of absolute values of SAG values of inflection points of the aspherical lens, Nd denotes a refractive index, and Abv denotes an Abbe number,

wherein the plurality of lenses further comprise a front group, an iris, and a rear group, sequentially arranged from the object side to the image sensor side,

wherein the front group sequentially comprises, from the object side, a first lens having negative refractive power and a second lens having negative refractive power, and

wherein the rear group comprises the aspherical lens.

2. The fisheye lens assembly of claim 1 , wherein the fisheye lens assembly satisfies the expression below:

1.5≤ TL/Y≤ 6,

where TL denotes a distance from an object-side surface of a lens located closest to the object side among the plurality of lenses to an image plane of an image sensor, and Y denotes an image height.

3. The fisheye lens assembly of claim 1 ,

wherein the front group further comprises a third lens provided closer to the image sensor side than the second lens and having positive refractive power,

wherein the rear group further comprises a fourth lens having positive refractive power, a fifth lens having negative refractive power, and a sixth lens having positive refractive power, sequentially from the object side, and

wherein the aspherical lens is provided closer to the image sensor side than the sixth lens.

4. The fisheye lens assembly of claim 1 , wherein the fisheye lens assembly satisfies the expression below:

0.5≤ TL _ f/TL _ r≤ 1.25,

where TL_f denotes a distance from an object-side surface of a lens located closest to the object side in the front group to an image plane-side surface of a lens located closest to the image sensor side in the front group, and TL_r denotes a distance from an object-side surface of a lens located closest to the object side in the rear group to an image plane-side surface of a lens located closest to the image sensor side in the rear group.

5. The fisheye lens assembly of claim 1 ,

wherein the rear group further comprises a lens provided closer to the object side than the aspherical lens and having positive refractive power, and

wherein the rear group satisfies the expression below:

1.25≤ CT _ A/CT _ B≤ 4,

where CT_A denotes a central thickness of the lens having positive refractive power, and CT_B denotes a central thickness of the aspherical lens.

6. The fisheye lens assembly of claim 1 ,

wherein the front group comprises at least three lenses, and

wherein the rear group comprises at least three lenses.

7. The fisheye lens assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a driver configured to move all of the plurality of lenses or move the plurality of lenses excluding the first lens, when focusing is performed.

8. The fisheye lens assembly of claim 7 , further comprising a sensor configured to sense a change in a temperature,

wherein the driver corrects focusing according to the change in the temperature sensed by the sensor.

9. The fisheye lens assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first lens and the second lens have a meniscus shape convex toward the object side.

10. The fisheye lens assembly of claim 1 , further comprising an optical device between the aspherical lens and the image sensor.

11. The fisheye lens assembly of claim 1 , wherein all of the plurality of lenses are aspherical lenses.

12. An electronic apparatus comprising:

at least one fisheye lens assembly of claim 1 ; and

at least one image sensor configured to receive light formed by the at least one fisheye lens assembly.
