Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An optical device and mobile device including a plurality of optical devices having different fields of view to increase an aberration improvement effect and to realize a higher degree of resolution are disclosed. The optical device includes first to sixth lenses disposed sequentially from an object, and an image sensor configured to convert an image of a subject incident through the first to sixth lenses into an electrical signal, wherein 0.7<TTL/f<1.0. The mobile device includes a plurality of optical systems having different fields of view, wherein a difference between fields of the two optical devices of the plurality of optical devices is 20 degrees or more, and one optical device of the plurality of optical devices comprise, whereby a wide angle function and a telephoto function may be realized.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An optical device comprising: first to sixth lenses disposed sequentially from an object; and an image sensor configured to convert an image of a subject incident through the first to sixth lenses into an electrical signal, wherein 0.7<TTL/f<1.0, where TTL is a distance from an object-side surface of the first lens to an imaging plane of the image sensor, and f is an overall focal length of the optical device, and wherein v 1 -v 3 >30, where v 1 is an Abbe number of the first lens, and v 3 is and Abbe number of the third lens. 2. The optical device of claim 1 , wherein 1.1<TTL/(ImgH*2), where ImgH is half of a diagonal length of the imaging plane of the image sensor. 3. The optical device of claim 1 , wherein 15°<FOV<35°, where FOV is a field of view of the optical device. 4. The optical device of claim 1 , wherein 0.16<r 1 /f<2, where r 1 is a radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the first lens. 5. The optical device of claim 1 , wherein v 4 <30, where v 4 is an Abbe number of the fourth lens is v 4 . 6. The optical device of claim 1 , further comprising a stop disposed between the second lens and the third lens. 7. The optical device of claim 6 , wherein f/SD≦2.8, where SD is a diameter of the stop. 8. The optical device of claim 1 , wherein an image-side surface of the first lens is concave. 9. The optical device of claim 1 , wherein an image-side surface of the third lens is concave. 10. The optical device of claim 1 , wherein an image-side surface of the sixth lens is concave. 11. The optical device of claim 1 , wherein at least one of an object-side surface and an image-side surface of the sixth lens has at least one inflection point. 12. The optical device of claim 1 , wherein at least one of an object-side surface and an image-side surface of each of the first to sixth lenses is aspherical. 13. The optical device of claim 1 , wherein an image-side surface and an object-side surface of the second lens is convex. 14. The optical device of claim 1 , wherein an image-side surface and an object-side surface of the fourth lens is concave. 15. A mobile device comprising: a plurality of optical devices having different fields of view; wherein a difference between fields of view of two optical devices of the plurality of optical devices is 20 degrees or more, and one optical device of the plurality of optical devices comprises: first to sixth lenses disposed sequentially from an object; and an image sensor configured to convert an image of a subject incident through the first to sixth lenses into an electrical signal, wherein 0.7<TTL/f<1.0, where TTL is a distance from an object-side surface of the first lens to an imaging plane of the image sensor, and f is an overall focal length of the optical device, and wherein v 1 -v 3 <30, where v 1 is an Abbe number of the first lens, and v 3 is and Abbe number of the third lens. 16. The mobile device of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of optical devices comprise a first optical device and a second optical device, and 15°<FOV 1 <35°, where FOV 1 is a field of view of the first optical device. 17. The mobile device of claim 16 , wherein 20°≦|FOV 1 -FOV 2 |≦60°, where FOV 2 is a field of view of the second optical device.
