Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A photographing optical lens assembly includes five lens elements which are, in order from an object side to an image side along an optical path: a first lens element, a second lens element, a third lens element, a fourth lens element and a fifth lens element. Each of the five lens elements has an object-side surface facing toward the object side and an image-side surface facing toward the image side. The image-side surface of the second lens element is concave in a paraxial region thereof. The third lens element has negative refractive power. The fourth lens element has positive refractive power. The object-side surface of the fifth lens element is convex in a paraxial region thereof, the image-side surface of the fifth lens element is concave in a paraxial region thereof, and the image-side surface of the fifth lens element has at least one inflection point.
