Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A projection lens assembly is provided. The projection lens assembly includes sequentially from a source-side to an image-side along an optical axis: a first lens and a second lens. The first lens has a negative refractive power, a source-side surface of the first lens is a concave surface, and an image-side surface of the first lens is a convex surface. The second lens has a positive refractive power, and an image-side surface of the second lens is a convex surface.

The projection lens assembly according to claim 1 , wherein an object-side numerical aperture NA of the projection lens assembly satisfies: NA≥0.18. 3. The projection lens assembly according to claim 2 , wherein a total track length TTL of the projection lens assembly satisfies: 3 mm<TTL<3.7 mm. 4. The projection lens assembly according to claim 1 , wherein for a light wave band of 800 nm to 1000 nm, a light transmittance of the projection lens assembly is greater than 85%. 5. The projection lens assembly according to claim 1 , wherein an effective focal length f 2 of the second lens and a total effective focal length f of the projection lens assembly satisfy: 0.7<f 2 /f<1.2. 6. The projection lens assembly according to claim 1 , wherein a radius R 4 of curvature of the image-side surface of the second lens and a total effective focal length f of the projection lens assembly satisfy: −0.6<R 4 /f<−0.2. 7. The projection lens assembly according to claim 1 , wherein a radius R 2 of curvature of the image-side surface of the first lens and a radius R 1 of curvature of the source-side surface of the first lens satisfy: (R 2 −R 1 )/(R 2 +R 1 )<0.5. 8. The projection lens assembly according to claim 1 , wherein an effective half aperture DT 22 of the image-side surface of the second lens and an effective half aperture DT 21 of a source-side surface of the second lens satisfy: 1.0<DT 22 /DT 21 <1.3. 9.
