Abstract

Present embodiments provide for optical imaging lenses. An optical imaging lens may include at least seven lens elements positioned sequentially from an object side to an image side. Through arrangement of the convex or concave surfaces of the lens elements, the length of the optical imaging lens may be shortened while providing better optical characteristics and imaging quality.
