Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A compact high-resolution imaging lens which meets the demands for low-profileness, a low F-value and a wide field of view and corrects aberrations properly. It includes, in order from the object side: a first positive lens having a convex object-side surface; a second negative lens having a convex object-side surface; a third lens; a fourth positive lens; and a fifth negative double-sided aspheric lens having a concave image-side surface. When Fno denotes F-number, ih maximum image height, TTL total track length, f45 the composite focal length of the fourth and fifth lenses, r5 and r6 the curvature radii of the third lens object-side and image-side surfaces, r7 and r8 the curvature radii of the fourth lens object-side and image-side surfaces, and r9 and r10 the curvature radii of the fifth lens object-side and image-side surfaces, respectively, it satisfies the following conditions: Fno≦2.4; TTL/2ih<0.9; f45<0; 0<r5/r6<4.0; 0.5<(r7+r8)/(r7−r8)<3.0; and 0.4<(r9+r10)/(r9−r10)<4.0.
