Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An optical imaging system includes a first lens having a positive refractive power, a second lens having a negative refractive power, a third lens having a negative refractive power, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, and a sixth lens having a positive refractive power and having a convex image-side shape, sequentially arranged in a direction from an object side of the optical imaging system to an imaging plane of the optical imaging system.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An optical imaging system, comprising: a first lens comprising a positive refractive power; a second lens comprising a negative refractive power and a concave image-side surface; a third lens comprising a negative refractive power, and a concave image-side surface; a fourth lens comprising a convex image-side surface; a fifth lens comprising a negative refractive power and a concave image-side surface; and a sixth lens comprising a positive refractive power and further comprising a convex object-side shape along an optical axis of the optical imaging system, wherein the optical imaging system satisfies the following conditional expression, 0.1< D 45/ TL< 0.7 where TL represents a distance from an object-side surface of the first lens to an imaging plane, and D45 represents a distance from an image-side surface of the fourth lens to an object-side surface of the fifth lens. 2. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the fourth lens comprises a convex object-side surface along the optical axis. 3. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the first to sixth lenses are disposed comprising an interval between each respective lens. 4. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the optical imaging system satisfies the following conditional expression, 0.7< TL/f< 1.0 where TL represents a distance from an object-side surface of the first lens to an imaging plane, and f represents a total focal length of the optical imaging system. 5. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the optical imaging system satisfies the following conditional expression, 0.15< R 1/ f< 0.32 where R1 represents a radius of curvature of an object-side surface of the first lens, and f represents a total focal length of the optical imaging system. 6. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the optical imaging system satisfies the following conditional expression, −3.5< f/f 2<−0.5 where f represents a total focal length of the optical imaging system, and f2 represents a focal length of the second lens. 7. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the optical imaging system satisfies the following conditional expression, 1.60< Nd 6<1.75 where Nd6 represents a refractive index of the sixth lens. 8. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the optical imaging system satisfies the following conditional expression, 0.3<tan θ<0.5 where θ represents a half angle of view of the optical imaging system. 9. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the optical imaging system satisfies the following conditional expression, 2.0< f/EPD< 2.7 where f represents a total focal length of the optical imaging system, and EPD represents a diameter of an entrance aperture. 10. An optical imaging system, comprising: a first lens, a second lens, a third lens comprising a negative refractive power, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, and a sixth lens comprising a convex object-side surface in a paraxial portion sequentially arranged from an object side to an image side, wherein the optical imaging system satisfies the following conditional expressions, 0.7< TL/f< 1.0 0.1< D 45/ TL< 0.7 where TL represents a distance from an object-side surface of the first lens to an imaging plane, f represents a total focal length of the optical imaging system, and D45 represents a distance from an image-side surface of the fourth lens to an object-side surface of the fifth lens. 11. The optical imaging system of claim 10 , wherein the sixth lens comprises a shape in which an image-side surface is convex along an optical axis of the optical imaging system and an inflection point is formed on the image-side surface.
