Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

There are provided a subminiature optical system having a miniature size and capable of obtaining a narrow view angle using only five sheets of lenses, and a portable device having the same. The subminiature optical system includes a first lens convex toward the object side and having positive refractive power, a second lens concave toward an image side and having negative refractive power, a third lens convex toward the object side and having positive refractive power, a fourth lens concave toward the image plane and having negative refractive power, and a fifth lens convex toward the image plane and having negative or positive refractive power, sequentially from an object side.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An optical system, comprising: a first lens having positive refractive power and a convex object-side surface; a second lens having negative refractive power and a concave image-side surface; a third lens having positive refractive power, and a concave image-side surface; a fourth lens having refractive power; and a fifth lens having refractive power, wherein the first to fifth lenses are sequentially disposed from an object side, wherein the optical system satisfies 0.7<TTL/F<1.0, where TTL is a distance from the object-side surface of the first lens to an imaging surface, and F is an overall focal length of the optical system, wherein the fifth lens has at least one inflection point formed on at least one of an object-side and an image-side thereof, and wherein the optical system satisfies 20°<FOV<35°, where FOV is a view angle of the optical system. 2. The optical system of claim 1 , wherein the optical system satisfies 0.16<rdy s1/F<2, where rdy s1 is a radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the first lens. 3. The optical system of claim 1 , wherein the first lens has a concave image-side surface. 4. The optical system of claim 1 , wherein the second lens has a concave object-side surface. 5. The optical system of claim 1 , wherein the third lens has a convex object-side surface. 6. The optical system of claim 1 , wherein the fourth lens has a concave object-side surface. 7. The optical system of claim 1 , wherein the fourth lens has a concave image-side surface. 8. The optical system of claim 1 , wherein the fourth lens has negative refractive power. 9. The optical system of claim 1 , wherein the fifth lens has a concave object-side surface. 10. The optical system of claim 9 , wherein the fifth lens has a convex image-side surface. 11. The optical system of claim 1 , wherein the fifth lens has a concave image-side surface. 12. The optical system of claim 1 , wherein the fifth lens has negative refractive power. 13. The optical system of claim 1 , wherein surfaces of the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, and the fifth lens are formed as aspherical surfaces. 14. The optical system of claim 1 , wherein a distance on an optical axis between an image-side surface of the third lens and an object-side surface of the fourth lens is a greatest distance on the optical axis between the lenses.
