Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure provides an image capturing optical system comprising: a positive first lens element having a convex object-side surface; a negative second lens element having a concave object-side surface; a third lens element; a fourth lens element having a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface, the object-side surface and the image-side surface thereof being aspheric; a fifth lens element having a concave image-side surface concave, both of the object-side surface and the image-side surface being aspheric, at least one of the object-side surface and the image-side surface having at least one convex shape in an off-axis region thereof.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An image capturing optical system comprising, in order from an object side to an image side: a first lens element with positive refractive power having an object-side surface being convex in a paraxial region thereof; a second lens element with negative refractive power having an object-side surface being concave in a paraxial region thereof; a third lens element; a fourth lens element having an object-side surface being convex in a paraxial region thereof and an image-side surface being concave in a paraxial region thereof, the object-side surface and the image-side surface thereof being aspheric; and a fifth lens element having an object-side surface being convex in a paraxial region thereof and an image-side surface being concave in a paraxial region thereof, the object-side surface and the image-side surface thereof being aspheric, the image-side surface having at least one convex shape in an off-axis region thereof; wherein the image capturing optical system has a total of five lens elements with refractive power and an air gap is arranged between every two adjacent lens elements with refractive power; wherein a focal length of the second lens is f2, a focal length of the first lens element is f1, a curvature radius of the object-side surface of the second lens element is R3, and the following conditions are satisfied: −1.0< f 2/ f 1<0; and 0< R 3/ f 2. 2. The image capturing optical system of claim 1 , wherein the third lens element has positive refractive power. 3. The image capturing optical system of claim 1 , wherein the focal length of the second lens is f2, a focal length of any one of the first lens element, the third lens element, the fourth lens element and the fifth lens element is fy (that is, y is 1, 3, 4 or 5), and the following condition is satisfied: | f 2<| fy|. 4. The image capturing optical system of claim 1 , wherein the fifth lens element has positive refractive power. 5. The image capturing optical system of claim 1 , wherein a focal length of the image capturing optical system is f, a focal length of any one of the first lens element, the second lens element, the third lens element, the fourth lens element and the fifth lens element is fx (that is, x is 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5), and the following condition is satisfied: 6.0<Σ| f/fx|. 6. The image capturing optical system of claim 1 further comprising an image surface, wherein a curvature radius of the image surface is Rimg, and the following condition is satisfied: −500 [mm]< R img<−20 [mm]. 7. The image capturing optical system of claim 1 , wherein an effective radius of the object-side surface of the first lens element is SD11, an effective radius of the image-side surface of the fifth lens element is SD52, and the following condition is satisfied: 1.0< SD 11/ SD 52<1.6. 8. The image capturing optical system of claim 1 , wherein an axial distance between the first lens element and the second lens element is T12, an axial distance between the second lens element and the third lens element is T23, an axial distance between the third lens element and the fourth lens element is T34, an axial distance between the fourth lens element and the fifth lens element is T45, and the following condition is satisfied: 0.60< T 12/( T 23+ T 34+ T 45)<4.0. 9. The image capturing optical system of claim 1 , wherein a focal length of the fourth lens element is f4, a curvature radius of the image-side surface of the third lens element is R6, and the following condition is satisfied: −0.5< f 4/ R 6<2.0. 10. An image capturing device comprising the image capturing optical system of claim 1 and an image sensor. 11. An electronic device comprising the image capturing device of claim 10 .
