Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a projection lens including: a first lens, a reflective optical device, a second lens and a third lens from an image side of the projection lens to an object side of the projection lens in turn. The first lens is of a negative focal power, an image side of the first lens is concave; the reflective optical device enables light to be bended; the second lens is of a positive focal power, an object side of the second lens is convex; the third lens is of a positive focal power, an object side of the third lens is convex. A diaphragm is arranged between first lens and second lens, the projection lens meets: 0.4<ImgH/D<0.7, wherein ImgH equals to a half-length of an object diagonal, D represents a vertical height from the image side of the first lens to a center axis perpendicular to an object.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A projection lens, comprising a first lens, a reflective optical device, a second lens and a third lens from an image side of the projection lens to an object side of the projection lens in turn, wherein the first lens is of a negative focal power, an image side of the first lens is concave; the reflective optical device enables a light path to be bended; the second lens is of a positive focal power, an object side of the second lens is convex; and the third lens is of a positive focal power, an object side of the third lens is convex, wherein a diaphragm is arranged between the first lens and the second lens, the projection lens meets the following formulas: 0.4< ImgH/D< 0.7, and 3< f 3/ f< 6, wherein ImgH equals to a half-length of an object diagonal, D represents a vertical height from the image side of the first lens to a center axis perpendicular to an object, f3 represents a focal length of the third lens, and f represents a focal length of the lens assembly. 2 . The projection lens according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first lens and the second lens has two sides both being in an aspheric shape, the third lens has two sides both being in a spherical shape. 3 . The projection lens according to claim 2 , wherein the third lens is made of a glass material. 4 . (canceled) 5 . The projection lens according to claim 1 , wherein the projection lens meets the following formula: 0.2<( R 3+ R 4)/( R 3 −R 4)<1.2, wherein R3 represents a curvature radius of an image side of the second lens, R4 represents a curvature radius of the object side of the second lens. 6 . The projection lens according to claim 5 , wherein the projection lens meets the following formula: 0.2<( R 5+ R 6)/( R 5− R 6)<1.2, wherein R5 represents a curvature radius of an image side of the third lens, R6 represents a curvature radius of the object side of the third lens. 7 . The projection lens according to claim 1 , wherein an object side of the first lens is convex. 8 . The projection lens according to claim 7 , wherein the image side of the second lens is convex. 9 . The projection lens according to claim 8 , wherein the image side of the third lens is convex. 10 . The projection lens according to claim 1 , wherein the reflective optical device enabling the light path to be bended is a reflecting prism or a reflecting plane mirror. 11 . The lens assembly according to claim 2 , wherein an object side of the first lens is convex. 12 . The lens assembly according to claim 3 , wherein an object side of the first lens is convex. 13 . The lens assembly according to claim 5 , wherein an object side of the first lens is convex. 14 . The lens assembly according to claim 6 , wherein an object side of the first lens is convex. 15 . The lens assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the reflective optical device enabling the light path to be bended is a reflecting prism or a reflecting plane mirror. 16 . The lens assembly according to claim 3 , wherein the reflective optical device enabling the light path to be bended is a reflecting prism or a reflecting plane mirror. 17 . The lens assembly according to claim 5 , wherein the reflective optical device enabling the light path to be bended is a reflecting prism or a reflecting plane mirror. 18 . The lens assembly according to claim 6 , wherein the reflective optical device enabling the light path to be bended is a reflecting prism or a reflecting plane mirror. 19 . The lens assembly according to claim 7 , wherein the reflective optical device enabling the light path to be bended is a reflecting prism or a reflecting plane mirror. 20 . The lens assembly according to claim 8 , wherein the reflective optical device enabling the light path to be bended is a reflecting prism or a reflecting plane mirror.
