Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An optical imaging lens includes a first lens element to a seventh lens element. The optical-axis region of the object-side surface of the fourth lens element is concave, the periphery region of the image-side surface of the fifth lens element is concave and the optical-axis region of the image-side surface of the sixth lens element is concave. AAG is the sum of total six air gaps from the first lens element to the seventh lens element and G12 is the air gap between the first lens element and the second lens element to satisfy AAG/G12≤10.000.
