Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
To provide a high image-quality, low cost, and small sized imaging lens suitable for an imaging lens which is compact and which has high density pixels, and with aberrations corrected satisfactorily. An imaging lens is configured from a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, and a fourth lens arranged in the named order from an object side, wherein both surfaces of each lens are formed from aspheric surface, and a diffraction optics surface exerting chromatic aberration correction function is arranged on any one surface from a surface of the first lens on an object side to a surface of the third lens on the object side, and each lens is configured from plastic material.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An imaging lens for an imaging element, comprising: a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, and a fourth lens arranged in the named order from an object side, wherein both surfaces of each lens are formed of aspheric surfaces, a diffraction optics surface exerting chromatic aberration correction function is arranged on any one surface from a surface of the first lens on an object side to a surface of the third lens on the object side, and each lens is configured from plastic material. 2. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the first lens is a biconvex lens, the second lens is a biconcave lens, the third lens is a meniscus lens having a positive refractive power with a concave surface facing the object side, the fourth lens is a biconcave lens, and the aperture diaphragm is arranged on the surface of the first lens on the object side. 3. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , satisfying following condition equations: 0.83 <f/f 12 <1.04 (1) −0.05 <f/f 34 <0.08 (2) −0.07 <f /( V 2 ·f 2 )+ f/ ( V d ·f d )<−0.03 (3) −0.01 <f/f d <0.15 (4) where f: focal length of overall optical system f 12 : composite focal length of the first lens and the second lens f 34 : composite focal length of the third lens and the fourth lens f 2 : focal length of the second lens f d : focal length of the diffraction optics surface V 2 : Abbe number of e-ray of the second lens V d : Abbe number of e-ray of the diffraction optics surface. 4. The imaging lens according to claim 2 , satisfying following condition equations: 0.83 <f/f 12 <1.04 (1) −0.05 <f/f 34 <0.08 (2) −0.07 <f /( V 2 ·f 2 )+ f/ ( V d ·f d )<−0.03 (3) −0.01 <f/f d <0.15 (4) where f: focal length of overall optical system f 12 : composite focal length of the first lens and the second lens f 34 : composite focal length of the third lens and the fourth lens f 2 : focal length of the second lens f d : focal length of the diffraction optics surface V 2 : Abbe number of e-ray of the second lens V d : Abbe number of e-ray of the diffraction optics surface.
