Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An optical imaging lens assembly includes a focus tunable component and an imaging lens system. The imaging lens system includes, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens group and a second lens group. The first lens group includes, in order from the object side to the image side, an object-side first lens element and an object-side second lens element. The second lens group includes, in order from the image side to the object side, an image-side first lens element and an image-side second lens element. At least one lens surface of at least one lens element in the imaging lens system is aspheric and has at least one inflection point. The imaging lens system has a total of at least four lens elements.
