Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An optical imaging system includes a first lens having refractive power; a second lens having refractive power; a third lens having refractive power and cemented to the second lens; a fourth lens having refractive power; a fifth lens having refractive power and cemented to the fourth lens; a sixth lens having refractive power; a seventh lens having refractive power; and an eighth lens having refractive power. The first to eighth lenses are sequentially disposed in numerical order beginning with the first lens from an object side of the optical imaging system toward an imaging plane of the optical imaging system.

First claim

What is claimed is: 1. An optical imaging system comprising: a first lens having refractive power; a second lens having refractive power; a third lens having refractive power and cemented to the second lens; a fourth lens having refractive power and a concave object-side surface; a fifth lens having refractive power and cemented to the fourth lens; a sixth lens having refractive power; a seventh lens having refractive power and a convex object-side surface; and an eighth lens having refractive power; wherein the first to eighth lenses are sequentially disposed in numerical order beginning with the first lens from an object side of the optical imaging system toward an imaging plane of the optical imaging system. 2. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the first lens has negative refractive power. 3. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the second lens has negative refractive power. 4. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the third lens has positive refractive power. 5. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the fourth lens has positive refractive power. 6. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the fifth lens has negative refractive power. 7. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the sixth lens has positive refractive power. 8. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the seventh lens has negative refractive power. 9. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the eighth lens has positive refractive power. 10. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , further comprising a stop disposed between two of the lenses; wherein an overall refractive power of ones of the lenses disposed between the object side of the optical imaging system and the stop is negative; and an overall refractive power of ones of the lenses disposed between the stop and the imaging plane of the optical imaging system is positive. 11. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the optical imaging system satisfies the following Conditional Expressions: f2<f1<0 f1<f5<0 f7<f5<0 0<f4<f3 0<f4<f6 0<f4<f8 where f1 is a focal length of the first lens, f2 is a focal length of the second lens, f3 is a focal length of the third lens, f4 is a focal length of the fourth lens, f5 is a focal length of the fifth lens, f6 is a focal length of the sixth lens, f7 is a focal length of the seventh lens, and f8 is a focal length of the eighth lens. 12. An optical imaging system comprising a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a stop, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, a seventh lens, and an eighth lens sequentially disposed in numerical order beginning with the first lens from an object side of the optical imaging system toward an imaging plane of the optical imaging system, wherein the fourth lens has a concave object-side surface and the seventh lens has a convex object-side surface. 13. The optical imaging system of claim 12 , wherein the first to third lenses and the eighth lens each comprise a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface. 14. The optical imaging system of claim 12 , wherein the fourth lens comprises a convex image-side surface. 15. The optical imaging system of claim 12 , wherein the fifth lens comprises a concave object-side surface and a convex image-side surface; and the seventh lens comprises a concave image-side surface. 16. The optical imaging system of claim 12 , wherein the sixth lens comprises a convex object-image side surface and a convex image-side surface. 17. The optical imaging system of claim 12 , wherein the first lens and the second lens have negative refractive power. 18. The optical imaging system of claim 12 , wherein the third lens and the fourth lens have positive refractive power. 19. The optical imaging system of claim 12 , further comprising a stop disposed between two of the lenses; wherein an overall refractive power of ones of the lenses disposed between the object side of the optical imaging system and the stop is negative; and an overall refractive power of ones of the lenses disposed between the stop and the imaging plane of the optical imaging system is positive. 20. The optical imaging system of claim 12 , wherein the optical imaging system satisfies the following Conditional Expressions: f2<f1<0 f1<f5<0 f7<f5<0 0<f4<f3 0<f4<f6 0<f4<f8 where f1 is a focal length of the first lens, f2 is a focal length of the second lens, f3 is a focal length of the third lens, f4 is a focal length of the fourth lens, f5 is a focal length of the fifth lens, f6 is a focal length of the sixth lens, f7 is a focal length of the seventh lens, and f8 is a focal length of the eighth lens.
