Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An optical imaging lens includes a first lens element, a second lens element, an aperture stop, a third lens element, and a fourth lens elements arranged in sequence from an object side to an image side along an optical axis, and each lens element has an object-side surface and an image-side surface. The first lens element has negative refracting power. The object-side surface of the second lens element has a concave portion in a vicinity of the optical axis. The image-side surface of the fourth lens element has a convex portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the fourth lens element.

What is claimed is: 1. An optical imaging lens, comprising a first lens element, a second lens element, an aperture stop, a third lens element, and a fourth lens element arranged in sequence from an object side to an image side along an optical axis, and each of the first lens element to the fourth lens element comprising an object-side surface facing the object side and allowing imaging rays to pass through and an image-side surface facing the image side and allowing the imaging rays to pass through; the first lens element having negative refracting power; the object-side surface of the second lens element having a concave portion in a vicinity of the optical axis; the object-side surface of the third lens element having a convex portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the third lens element; the fourth lens element having negative refracting power, the image-side surface of the fourth lens element having a convex portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the fourth lens element, wherein a quantity of lens elements having refracting power of the optical imaging lens is only four, and the optical imaging lens satisfies: ALT /( G 12+ G 34)≤2.4, ( T 2+ T 3)/ G 23≥3.0 and ALT/T 1≥6.0, wherein, ALT is a sum of four thicknesses of the first lens element, the second lens element, the third lens element, and the fourth lens element along the optical axis, G12 is an air gap from the first lens element to the second lens element along the optical axis, G34 is an air gap from the third lens element to the fourth lens element along the optical axis, T1 is a thickness of the first lens element along the optical axis, T2 is a thickness of the second lens element along the optical axis, T3 is a thickness of the third lens element along the optical axis, and G23 is an air gap from the second lens element to the third lens element along the optical axis. 2. The optical imaging lens as recited in claim 1 , wherein the image-side surface of the second lens element has a convex portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the second lens element. 3. The optical imaging lens as recited in claim 2 , wherein the optical imaging lens satisfies: T2/G34≤5.5. 4. The optical imaging lens as recited in claim 1 , wherein the optical imaging lens satisfies: TTL/(G34+T4)≤10.0, wherein TTL is a distance from the object-side surface of the first lens element to an image plane of the optical imaging lens along the optical axis, and T4 is a thickness of the fourth lens element along the optical axis. 5. The optical imaging lens as recited in claim 4 , wherein the optical imaging lens satisfies: (G12+G23)/T2≤3.2. 6. The optical imaging lens as recited in claim 1 , wherein the optical imaging lens satisfies: EFL/G34≤7.5, wherein EFL is an effective focal length of the optical imaging lens. 7. The optical imaging lens as recited in claim 6 , wherein the optical imaging lens satisfies: ALT/(T1+T4)≥3.0, wherein T4 is a thickness of the fourth lens element along the optical axis. 8. The optical imaging lens as recited in claim 1 , wherein the optical imaging lens satisfies: AAG/T1≥5.0, wherein AAG is a sum of three air gaps from the first lens element to the fourth lens element along the optical axis. 9. The optical imaging lens as recited in claim 1 , wherein the optical imaging lens satisfies: (T3+T4)/G34≤9.0, wherein T4 is a thickness of the fourth lens element along the optical axis. 10. The optical imaging lens as recited in claim 9 , wherein the optical imaging lens satisfies: AAG/G23≥3.4, wherein AAG is a sum of three air gaps from the first lens element to the fourth lens element along the optical axis. 11. The optical imaging lens as recited in claim 1 , wherein the optical imaging lens satisfies: EFL/T1≥2.5, wherein EFL is an effective focal length of the optical imaging lens. 12. The optical imaging lens as recited in claim 11 , wherein the optical imaging lens satisfies: T3/T1≥2.2. 13. The optical imaging lens as recited in claim 1 , wherein the optical imaging lens satisfies: (T1+T2)/G23≥2.5. 14. The optical imaging lens as recited in claim 1 , wherein the optical imaging lens satisfies: T2/T1≥2.2.
