As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the embodiment of the present application provides a time of flight TOF camera module, the camera module includes a circuit board 3, a transmitting module 1 and a receiving module 2, the circuit board 3 has an upper surface and a lower surface arranged along a thickness direction thereof, wherein the upper surface is provided with a first region and a second region which are not overlapped with each other, the transmitting module 1 is arranged in the first region, the transmitting module 1 includes a light source 11 and a projection lens 12, the light source 11 is used for transmitting N beam spot lights, and specific numerical values of N can be set according to actual requirements. The projection lens 12 is used for processing the light signal emitted from the light source 11 into a speckle light signal. The Light source 11 may be a Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL), a Light Emitting Diode (LED), or the like, or an array formed by combining a plurality of Light sources 11, where the Light source 11 may be a single-chip VCSEL chip Emitting Light at multiple points, and multiple Light Emitting points are arranged in a two-dimensional matrix and correspondingly emit multiple Laser signals to form a matrix-type optical signal array. The projection lens 12 is used to collimate the N beams of spot light and transmit the N beams of spot light to a target object, producing a speckle light array consisting of N speckles on the target object. The receiving module 2 is arranged in a second area of the circuit board 3 and used for receiving depth optical signals returned after the N speckle optical arrays irradiate the target object and converting the depth optical signals into electric signals. Wherein, the Field of View (FOV) of the projection lens 12 satisfies: FOV is more than 65 degrees and less than 80 degrees, the F number of the projection lens is less than 1.9, and the focal length is more than 1.2 and less than 1.4.
Field of View (FOV): the field of view range of the lens is characterized, and the larger the FOV of the lens is, the larger the range of the projected field of view of the lens is.
Distortion: the method is used for measuring the visual distortion degree of the image, and the smaller the distortion is, the better the imaging effect is.
Relative Illuminance (RI): the ratio of the illumination of different coordinate points on an imaging surface to the illumination of a central point is indicated, the smaller the relative illumination is, the more uneven the illumination of the imaging surface is, and the problem of underexposure or central overexposure of certain positions is easily caused, so that the imaging quality is influenced; the greater the relative illuminance, the higher the imaging quality.
Working F-number, or F-number (Fno): the reciprocal of the relative aperture of the lens is used for representing the light quantity which enters the photosensitive chip through the lens. The smaller the F number, the more the amount of light entering the lens.
In general, the diameter and the divergence angle of a light beam in a dimming system can be changed by a collimating lens in the conventional TOF module, so that the light beam is changed into a collimated parallel light beam, the energy of the light beam is more concentrated, and a fine high-power-density light spot can be obtained. When a speckle optical signal needs to be obtained, an optical replication element is further added above the collimating lens, so that the collimated optical signal is replicated to obtain the speckle optical signal. Alternatively, the Optical signal replication element may be at least one or a combination of Diffractive Optical Elements (DOE), Micro Lens Array (MLA), grating, or any other Optical element that can form spot light. The DOE is usually made of glass or plastic material, and is used for projecting a light beam emitted by a light source outwards to form a speckle optical signal of a plurality of areas after being copied by a certain multiple. Taking the DOE as an example, the optical signals are copied by the DOE to increase the number of the optical signals, so that the requirement of the receiving module 2 on the number of the optical signals is met, and the accuracy of measurement is improved. For example, the array optical signal emitted by the emitter chip includes n optical signals, the replication multiple of the DOE is m, n × m optical signals are formed after the replication of the DOE, and the receiving module 2 can receive the n × m optical signals returned from the target object, so that the accuracy of measurement is improved. However, when light passes through the DOE, energy loss of more than 10% is generated, the optical efficiency of the conventional emission module 1 including the collimating lens and the diffractive optical element is generally 56%, the F number is 2.83, the transmittance of the light is low, so the power of the TOF module needs to be increased, the single-hole optical power requirement is generally 100mW, a boost circuit (boost circuit) needs to be arranged under normal conditions, and the safety of the TOF module can be lowered along with the increase of the power, when the TOF module is damaged, the light emitted by the emitter chip is directly irradiated, which is easy to cause damage to a human body, so an Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) protection circuit needs to be arranged, and the protection circuit needs to include parts such as metal shrapnels as positive and negative electrodes, which increases the number of the whole parts of the TOF module, and has a complex structure, high assembly difficulty and high material cost.
Compared with the prior art that the optical signal is processed into the collimated optical signal, the scheme provided by the embodiment of the application can process the optical signal emitted by the light source 11 through the projection lens 12 to enable the optical signal to form the speckle optical array, and can increase the irradiation range of a single optical signal to a certain extent, so that the processed optical signal can meet the use requirement, thereby saving an optical signal replication element, and therefore, the loss of the optical signal during propagation can be reduced, thereby being beneficial to improving the optical efficiency, the optical efficiency can reach 80%, because the optical efficiency is higher, the single-hole optical power can be reduced, usually being reduced to 7mW, thereby saving a booster circuit, simplifying the structure of the TOF module, and simultaneously because the single-hole optical power is reduced, the safety of the TOF module is also improved, and related components of a protection circuit and a protection circuit can be saved, can also reduce the equipment degree of difficulty when simplifying TOF module structure to the cost that can reduce the material accords with actual user demand more.
Through the design of the projection lens 12, after passing through the projection lens 12, the N beam spot light emitted by the light source 11 is directly projected onto a target object at a preset field angle and intensity without copying a light signal and setting a light signal copying element, so that the cost is saved, the thickness of the whole camera module is reduced, and the assembly difficulty of the camera module is also reduced. Since the N beam spot light directly reaches the target object after passing through the projection lens 12, the light loss is reduced, and the utilization rate of the light source 11 is improved.
The transmission module 1 and the receiving module 2 share a circuit board 3, and set up on the same surface, can refer to common datum point or cross reference when the installation, be favorable to reducing the counterpoint tolerance between transmission module 1 and the receiving module 2, can reduce the optical axis of transmission module 1 and the relative optical axis contained angle of receiving module 2, can promote the imaging function or the distance detection function of the module of making a video recording, simultaneously can also reduce circuit board 3's cost, transmission module 1 and receiving module 2 no longer need the metal support at the in-process of equipment, not only be favorable to reducing the support cost of the module of making a video recording, can also save the assembly process flow of extra metal support, be favorable to reducing the assembly process cost of the module of making a video recording.
In one possible embodiment, the projection lens 12 can be designed to have a larger field angle FOV and a smaller F-number by designing the parameters of the projection lens 12. f is the focal length of the projection lens 12, Y is the maximum image height on the image plane of the image pickup module, and TTL is the distance between the diaphragm 121 and the light source 11. For example, 0.1< | Y/(f × TTL) | <0.4 may be satisfied between f, Y, and TTL.
The F, Y and TTL of the projection lens 12 influence the FOV and F number of the projection lens, and the F, Y and TTL are also mutually restricted and influenced, so that the projection lens 12 can obtain a larger wide-angle view field and detect a larger range by controlling the F, Y and TTL to meet the preset conditions, and the projection lens 12 can have a smaller F number, so that more light rays of a mobile phone can be obtained, and the performance of the lens can be improved.
When the relationship between F, Y and TTL of the projection lens is 0.1< | Y/(F × TTL) | <0.4, the FOV of the projection lens 12 satisfies 60 ° < FOV < 85 °, further, the FOV of the projection lens 12 may satisfy 65 ° < FOV < 85 °, 65 ° < FOV < 80 °, 65 ° < FOV < 75 ° or 65 ° < FOV < 70 ° and the like, so as to achieve the balance between the accuracy requirement of the depth detection and the field of view requirement, when the relationship between F, Y and TTL of the projection lens 12 is 0.1< | Y/(F × TTL) | <0.4, the F number of the projection lens 12 is less than 1.9, further, the F number of the projection lens 12 may satisfy: f-number less than 1.8, etc., to enable the projection lens 12 to collect more light.
It should be understood that the preset conditions mentioned above are conditions that should be satisfied by F, Y, and TTL of the projection lens 12 when the projection lens 12 is designed, so as to improve the projection performance of the projection lens 12 while ensuring the required FOV and F number, and in some cases, in order to obtain better projection performance, the preset conditions may be appropriately adjusted, for example, the preset conditions may be adjusted as follows: 0.1< | Y/(f × TTL) | <0.30, 0.2< | Y/(f × TTL) | <0.30, 0.1< | Y/(f × TTL) | <0.25, 0.15< | Y/(f × TTL) | <0.30, or 0.15< | Y/(f × TTL) | <0.25, and the like.
In a possible embodiment, f, Y and TTL of the projection lens 12 may also satisfy: 0.3< f/TTL <0.5, 0.2< Y/TTL < 0.4.
By further limiting the parameters of the projection lens 12, it is possible to make the FOV of the projection lens 12 as large as possible within the above-mentioned range thereof, and to make the F-number of the projection lens as small as possible within the above-mentioned range thereof. The preset conditions can be further adjusted as follows: 0.3< f/TTL <0.46, 0.4< f/TTL <0.46, 0.2< Y/TTL <0.35, 0.25< Y/TTL <0.35, or 0.2< Y/TTL <0.3, etc.
In a possible embodiment, the parameters of the projection lens 12 may be satisfied by limiting the above parameters: FOV 71.9 °, F number 1.76.
The camera module that this application embodiment provided has less F number and great angle of vision FOV, can improve camera module's optical efficiency to and the transmissivity of light. The transmittance of the existing TOF module (including DOE) is usually 56%, while the transmittance of the imaging module provided by the embodiment of the present application can reach 80%.
In a possible embodiment, the projection lens 12 includes a diaphragm 121 and a lens group, and the lens group includes at least two lenses, and the parameters of the lens group are adjusted so that the parameters of the projection lens 12 satisfy the aforementioned conditions.
As shown in fig. 3, in one possible embodiment, the projection lens 12 is provided with a diaphragm 121, a first lens 122, a second lens 123 and a third lens 124 in this order from the imaging side (projection target side) to the light source side, the first lens 122 is a positive power lens, the first lens 122 is a convex surface on the light source side of the paraxial region, and at least one of the two surfaces of the first lens 122 is an aspheric surface. The second lens 123 is a negative power lens, the second lens 123 is concave on the image side of the paraxial region, and convex on the light source side of the paraxial region, and at least one of the two surfaces of the second lens 123 is aspheric. The third lens element 124 is a positive power lens element, the third lens element 124 is convex on the paraxial imaging side, and at least one of the two surfaces of the third lens element 124 is aspheric.
The first lens 122 is a positive power lens with a focal length f1, the positive power distribution of the first lens 122 can enlarge the angle of the emergent light rays and can increase the field angle FOV, the paraxial radius of curvature of the imaging side surface of the first lens 122 is R1, the paraxial radius of curvature of the light source side surface is R2, and the first lens 122 can satisfy the following conditions: -1< f1/R1< -0.2; -2.5< f1/R2< -1.5; 2< R1/R2< 4.5. The curvature radii of the two surfaces of the first lens 122 can be reasonably distributed by the above conditions, and the correction of aberration in the process of deflecting light rays is facilitated.
The second lens 123 is a negative power lens with a focal length f2, the negative power distribution of the second lens 123 can effectively correct aberrations and improve the projection quality, the paraxial radius of curvature of the imaging side surface of the second lens 123 is R3, the paraxial radius of curvature of the light source side surface is R4, and the second lens 123 can satisfy the following conditions: 2< f2/R3< 4.5; 0.4< f2/R4< 2; 0.25< R3/R4< 0.45. A reasonable distribution of the radii of curvature of the two surfaces of the second lens 123 helps the lens to better correct aberrations while contributing negative power.
The second lens 123 is a lens of positive power, has a focal length f3, and the third lens 124 has a paraxial radius of curvature of the imaging-side surface of R5 and a paraxial radius of curvature of the light source-side surface of R6, and the third lens 124 satisfies the following conditions: 1.4< f3/R5< 1.6; 0.2< f3/R6< 0.1; -0.2< R5/R6< 0.1.
The third lens 124 is a lens closest to the light source 11, and after the light is emitted from the light source 11, the light is deflected by the third lens 124 with positive focal power, so that the effective aperture sizes of the first lens 122 and the second lens 123 can be effectively reduced, and the projection lens 12 can have a larger field angle FOV.
In addition, 2< R1/R2<4.5, 0.2< R3/R4<0.45, and 0.2< R5/R6<0.1, the curvature radii of the three lenses in the lens 110 are designed, so that the FOV and F number of the lens 110 meet the requirements, the sensitivity of the lens 110 can be reduced, and the yield of products can be improved.
The number of lenses of the lens group may be adjustable, and may be two lenses, or may be four or more lenses, and parameters of each lens may be adjusted so that the projection lens 12 satisfies the preset conditions.
When the quantity of lens is too much, lead to the increase of the volume of emission module 1, the whole volume increase of the module of making a video recording. Moreover, the positions of the receiving module 2 and the transmitting module 1 need to be matched with each other, and usually, the receiving module 2 and the transmitting module 1 are approximately at the same height. When the volume and the position of the transmitting module 1 are changed, the position of the receiving module 2 also needs to be adjusted correspondingly, so that the difficulty of the overall design of the camera module is increased, and the cost of the projection lens 12 is relatively high due to the increase of the number of the lenses. When the number of lenses is too small, the ability of the lenses to process optical signals is relatively poor. In general, four lenses may be disposed inside the receiving module 2, and since the transmitting module 1 is disposed with the light source 11, the light source 11 may occupy a certain space, and in order to make the heights of the transmitting module 1 and the receiving module 2 approximately the same, the volume of the projection lens 12 may be reduced by reducing the number of lenses of the projection lens 12, thereby reducing the influence on the volume of the transmitting module 1. Considering factors such as the structure, the processing difficulty, and the cost, the projection lens 12 using three lenses is a preferable scheme.
In one possible embodiment, the focal length of the projection lens 12 is f, the focal length of the first lens 122 is f1, the focal length of the second lens 123 is f2, and the focal length of the third lens 124 is f3, and the following conditions are satisfied for the distribution of the inter-lens powers: 0.8< f1/f <1.3, -1.3< f2/f < -0.5, -0.4 < f3/f <1.1, -1.3< f2/f1< -0.5, 0.3< f3/f1< 1.
Through designing the respective focal length of three lenses, carry out rational distribution to the focal length of first lens 122, second lens 123 and third lens 124 for projection lens 12 can possess great FOV scope and less F number, and better correction aberration simultaneously effectively improves projection lens 12's projection quality.
