Publication number: 20200371321Abstract: A wide-angle lens includes a front group, an aperture, a rear group, and an infrared cut filter. The front group includes a first lens and a second lens arranged in order from a side closest to an object to an image side. In the wide-angle lens, an anti-reflection layer having a reflectance of 1.5% or less in a wavelength range from nm to 850 nm is provided on a lens surface of the first lens on the image side to suppress an occurrence of a ghost caused by light passing through a peripheral portion of the lens surface. Therefore, even if a film forming the anti-reflection layer is thinner than an appropriate value at the peripheral portion of the lens surface, the anti-reflection layer appropriately prevents reflection of light in a long wavelength range.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2018Publication date: November 26, 2020Applicant: NIDEC SANKYO CORPORATIONInventor: Yosuke KANZAKI
