Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

There is provided an optical imaging system includes a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, and a fifth lens. The first lens includes a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface. The second lens includes a concave object-side surface and a concave image-side surface. The third lens includes a concave object-side surface. The fourth lens includes a concave object-side surface. The fifth lens includes a concave object-side surface and a concave image-side surface. The first to fifth lenses are sequentially disposed from an object side toward an imaging plane.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An optical imaging system comprising: a first lens comprising a convex object-side surface; a second lens comprising a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface; a third lens comprising a positive refractive power and a refractive index greater than 1.60; a fourth lens comprising a concave object-side surface; and a fifth lens comprising a concave object-side surface in a paraxial region, wherein the first to fifth lenses are sequentially disposed from an object side of the optical imaging system toward an imaging plane of the optical imaging system, the optical imaging system comprises a maximum number of five lenses, 0.7<TTL/f<1.1, where TTL is a distance from the object-side surface of the first lens to the imaging plane, and f is an overall focal length of the optical imaging system, and an absolute value of a focal length of the second lens is less than an absolute value of a focal length of the fourth lens. 2. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the first lens comprises a positive refractive power. 3. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the second lens comprises a negative refractive power. 4. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the fourth lens comprises a positive refractive power. 5. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the fifth lens comprises a negative refractive power. 6. An optical imaging system comprising: a first lens comprising a convex object-side surface; a second lens comprising a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface; a third lens comprising a refractive index greater than 1.60; a fourth lens comprising a concave object-side surface; and a fifth lens comprising a concave object-side surface in a paraxial region, wherein the first to fifth lenses are sequentially disposed from an object side of the optical imaging system toward an imaging plane of the optical imaging system, the optical imaging system comprises a maximum number of five lenses, 20<FOV<35, where FOV is one-half of a field of view of the optical imaging system, 0.7<TTL/f<1.1, where TTL is a distance from the object-side surface of the first lens to the imaging plane, and f is an overall focal length of the optical imaging system, and an absolute value of a focal length of the second lens is less than an absolute value of a focal length of the fourth lens. 7. The optical imaging system of claim 6 , wherein the first lens comprises a positive refractive power. 8. The optical imaging system of claim 6 , wherein the second lens comprises a negative refractive power. 9. The optical imaging system of claim 6 , wherein the fourth lens comprises a positive refractive power. 10. The optical imaging system of claim 6 , wherein an object-side surface of the third lens is concave. 11. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the fourth lens further comprises a refractive index greater than 1.60. 12. The optical imaging system of claim 6 , wherein the fourth lens further comprises a refractive index greater than 1.60. 13. The optical imaging system of claim 6 , wherein the third lens further comprises a positive refractive power. 14. The optical imaging system of claim 6 , wherein a focal length of the first lens is in a range of 2.70 to 3.20.
