Types of Camera Module Lenses

Classification by Optical Function

1

Spherical Lens

Characteristics: The surface has a spherical curvature, simple manufacturing process, and low cost, but suffers from spherical aberration and chromatic aberration, with blurred image quality at the edges.

Applications: Low-end surveillance equipment, toy cameras, and other scenarios with low image quality requirements.

2

Aspherical Lens

Characteristics: Uses complex surfaces to eliminate spherical and coma aberrations, reduces the number of lenses, facilitating module miniaturization.

Applications: Main cameras in smartphones, high-end security cameras.

3

Low Dispersion Lens

Characteristics: Uses low dispersion glass to suppress purple/green fringing, enhancing clarity in high-contrast scenes.

Applications: DSLR telephoto lenses, industrial inspection equipment.

4

Freeform Lens

Characteristics: Irregular surface design corrects wide-angle distortion (such as fisheye stretching), replacing multiple lens combinations to reduce module thickness.

Applications: Drone wide-angle lenses, ultra-wide main cameras in smartphones.

Types of Camera Module Lenses

Classification by Focal Length

1

Wide-Angle Lens

Focal Length: ≤35mm (full-frame equivalent), field of view range 63°-121°.

Advantages: Accommodates more scene elements, enhances perspective depth, suitable for landscape photography and shooting in tight spaces.

Applications: Mall surveillance, VR devices, ultra-wide modules in smartphones.

2

Standard Lens

Focal Length: Approximately 50mm, field of view close to human vision, low distortion rate.

Applications: General photography for digital cameras, video conferencing cameras.

3

Telephoto Lens

Focal Length: ≥70mm, can bring distant objects closer to capture details.

Advantages: Blurs background to highlight the subject, suitable for wildlife and sports event photography.

Technological Evolution: High-magnification optical zoom combined with autofocus technology enhances precision in long-distance monitoring.

Types of Camera Module Lenses

Classification by Material Process

1

Glass Lens

Characteristics: Light transmittance over 90%, high-temperature aging resistance, but high cost and complex processing.

Applications: DSLR cameras, industrial inspection instruments.

2

Plastic Lens

Characteristics: Made from PMMA/PC materials, easy to mold into aspherical structures, reducing costs by 40%-60%, light transmittance about 85%.

Applications: Smartphones, consumer-grade security devices.

3

Glass-Plastic Hybrid Lens

Structure: 1G4P (1 glass + 4 plastic) combination, balancing chromatic aberration correction and volume control.

Applications: Mid to high-end smartphone main cameras.

Special Function Lenses

1

Infrared Filter

Blocks infrared light interference, enhances the purity of visible light imaging, used in night vision security cameras.

2

Variable Aperture Lens

Adjusts aperture size mechanically (e.g., f/1.4-f/16) to adapt to different lighting conditions, enhancing dynamic range.
