Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An optical imaging system includes: a first lens having positive refractive power, a second lens having negative refractive power, a third lens having negative refractive power, a fourth lens having refractive power, a fifth lens having refractive power, and an image sensor on an image side of the fifth lens such that the fifth lens is most adjacent to the image sensor. The first to fifth lenses are sequentially disposed from an object side to an image side of the optical imaging system and the optical imaging system includes a total of five lenses. The optical imaging system satisfies 1.3<TTL/BFL<3.5, where TTL is a distance from an object-side surface of the first lens to an imaging plane of the image sensor, and BFL is a distance from an image-side surface of the fifth lens to the imaging plane of the image sensor.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An optical imaging system comprising: a first lens having positive refractive power; a second lens having negative refractive power; a third lens having negative refractive power; a fourth lens having refractive power; and a fifth lens having refractive power; and an image sensor disposed on an image side of the fifth lens such that the fifth lens is a lens disposed most adjacent to the image sensor, wherein the first to fifth lenses are sequentially disposed from an object side of the optical imaging system to an image side of the optical imaging system, wherein the optical imaging system includes a total of five lenses, and wherein 1.3<TTL/BFL<3.5 is satisfied, where TTL is a distance from an object-side surface of the first lens to an imaging plane of the image sensor, and BFL is a distance from an image-side surface of the fifth lens to the imaging plane of the image sensor. 2. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein FOV≤40° is satisfied, where FOV is a field of view of the optical imaging system. 3. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein 0.9<DF/DC<1.3 is satisfied, where DF is an effective aperture radius of the image-side surface of the fifth lens, and DC is an effective aperture radius of the object-side surface of the first lens. 4. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein 0.8<TTL/f<1.5 is satisfied, where f is an overall focal length of the optical imaging system. 5. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein 0.6<f12/f<2.0 is satisfied, where f12 is a combined focal length of the first lens and the second lens, and f is an overall focal length of the optical imaging system. 6. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the object-side surface of the first lens is convex. 7. The optical imaging system of claim 6 , wherein the second lens has a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface. 8. The optical imaging system of claim 7 , wherein the first lens has a convex image-side surface, and the third lens has a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface. 9. The optical imaging system of claim 7 , wherein the fourth lens has a concave object-side surface and a convex image-side surface. 10. The optical imaging system of claim 9 , wherein the fourth lens has positive refractive power. 11. The optical imaging system of claim 9 , wherein the image-side surface of the fifth lens is concave.
