Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure provides an optical imaging lens. The optical imaging lens may comprise six lens elements positioned in an order from an object side to an image side. Through controlling the convex or concave shape of the surfaces of the lens elements and designing parameters satisfying at least one inequality, the optical imaging lens may shorten the system length and enlarge the view angle and aperture size.
