Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Present embodiments provide for optical imaging lenses. An optical imaging lens may comprise five lens elements positioned sequentially from an object side to an image side. By 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 exhibit better optical characteristics and the half field of view of the optical imaging lens may be broadened.
