Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A two-piece optical lens for capturing image and a two-piece optical module for capturing image are provided. In order from an object side to an image side, the optical lens along the optical axis includes a first lens with positive refractive power; and a second lens with refractive power; and at least one of the image-side surface and object-side surface of each of the two lens elements are aspheric. The optical lens can increase aperture value and improve the imagining quality for use in compact cameras.
