The granted patent US12061318B2 describes a camera optical lens comprising six lenses arranged sequentially from the object side to the image side. The lens system includes a combination of positive and negative refractive powers, specifically a first lens with positive power, a second lens with negative power, a third lens with positive power, a fourth lens with negative power, a fifth lens with negative power, and a sixth lens with positive power. The patent outlines specific mathematical conditions that the lens system must satisfy, including ratios of focal lengths, curvature radii, and thicknesses of the lenses, as well as an F number constraint, which is limited to a maximum of 1.90. These parameters are critical for ensuring the optical performance and image quality of the lens.

Further claims in the patent detail additional conditions for each lens, focusing on their curvature radii, thicknesses, and their relationships to the total optical length (TTL) of the system. For instance, the second lens must meet specific ratios involving its focal length and curvature radii, while similar conditions are set for the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth lenses. The patent also specifies constraints on the image height relative to the focal length, ensuring that the lens design is optimized for various imaging applications. Overall, the claims provide a comprehensive framework for the design and functionality of the camera optical lens, emphasizing the importance of precise optical parameters in achieving desired imaging characteristics.
