Abstract

An imaging lens includes first to fifth lens elements arranged from an object side to an image side in the given order. Through designs of surfaces of the lens elements and relevant optical parameters, a short system length of the imaging lens may be achieved while maintaining good optical performance.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An imaging lens comprising a first lens element, a second lens element, a third lens element, a fourth lens element and a fifth lens element arranged in order from an object side to an image side along an optical axis of said imaging lens, each of said first lens element, said second lens element, said third lens element, said fourth lens element and said fifth lens element having a refractive power, an object-side surface facing toward the object side, and an image-side surface facing toward the image side, wherein:
said first lens element has a positive refractive power;
said object-side surface of said second lens element has a convex portion in a vicinity of the optical axis and a concave portion in a vicinity of a periphery of said second lens element;
said object-side surface of said third lens element has a concave portion in a vicinity of a periphery of said third lens element, and said image-side surface of said third lens element has a convex portion in a vicinity of the optical axis;
said object-side surface of said fourth lens element has a concave portion in a vicinity of the optical axis, and said image-side surface of said fourth lens element has a convex portion in a vicinity of the optical axis;
said object-side surface of said fifth lens element has a convex portion in a vicinity of the optical axis, and said image-side surface of said fifth lens element has a concave portion in a vicinity of the optical axis, and a convex portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the fifth lens element,
said fifth lens element is made of a plastic material; and
said imaging lens satisfies 2.00≧T1/T3≧0.93, 0.90≦G34/G23≦2.40, 4.00≦(T4+T5)/(G12+G45)≦7.70, and 8.00≧(T3+T4)/(G12+G45)≧3.00, where T1 represents a thickness of said first lens element at the optical axis, T3 represents a thickness of said third lens element at the optical axis, G34 represents an air gap length between said third lens element and said fourth lens element at the optical axis, G23 represents an air gap length between said second lens element and said third lens element at the optical axis, T4 represents a thickness of said fourth lens element at the optical axis, T5 represents the thickness of said fifth lens element at the optical axis, G12 represents an air gap length between said first lens element and said second lens element at the optical axis, and G45 represents an air gap length between said fourth lens element and said fifth lens element at the optical axis; and
said imaging lens does not include any lens element with refractive power other than said first lens element, said second lens element, said third lens element, said fourth lens element and said fifth lens element.

2. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 1 , further satisfying ALT/T3≦7.00, where ALT represents a sum of thicknesses of said first lens element, said second lens element, said third lens element, said fourth lens element and said fifth lens element at the optical axis.

3. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 2 , further satisfying BFL/T1≦3.20, where BFL represents a distance at the optical axis between said image-side surface of said fifth lens element and an image plane at the image side.

4. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 3 , further satisfying 6.70≧BFL/(G12+G23)≧3.40.

5. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 2 , further satisfying 18.00≧ALT/G34≧7.00.

6. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 5 , further satisfying 10.50≧(T3+T5)/G23≧4.90.

7. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 2 , further satisfying 8.00≧(T4+T5)/G34≧3.25.

8. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 7 , further satisfying 8.00≧(T1+T5)/G34≧3.70.

9. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 1 , further satisfying BFL/T1≦3.20, where BFL represents a distance at the optical axis between said image-side surface of said fifth lens element and an image plane at the image side.

10. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 9 , further satisfying 25.00≧ALT/G23≧10.55, where ALT represents a sum of thicknesses of said first lens element, said second lens element, said third lens element, said fourth lens element and said fifth lens element at the optical axis.

11. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 10 , further satisfying 8.00≧(T1+T5)/T2≧3.00, where T2 represents a thickness of said second lens element at the optical axis.

12. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 1 , further satisfying 18.00≧ALT/G34≧7.00, where ALT represents a sum of thicknesses of said first lens element, said second lens element, said third lens element, said fourth lens element and said fifth lens element at the optical axis.

13. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 12 , further satisfying 5.50≧(T3+T4)/T2≧2.75, where T2 represents a thickness of said second lens element at the optical axis.

14. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 13 , further satisfying 6.50≧(T3+T5)/G34≧3.80.

15. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a housing; and
an imaging module disposed in said housing, and including an imaging lens as claimed in claim 1 , a barrel on which said imaging lens is disposed, a holder unit on which said barrel is disposed, and an image sensor disposed at the image side of said imaging lens.
