Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An optical imaging lens set includes an aperture stop, a first lens element to a sixth lens element from an object side toward an image side along an optical axis. The first lens element has an image-side surface with a convex portion in a vicinity of its periphery. The second lens element has an image-side surface with a concave portion in a vicinity of the optical axis and a convex portion in a vicinity of its periphery. The third lens element is made of plastic. The fourth lens element has an image-side surface with a concave portion in a vicinity of its periphery. The fifth lens element is made of plastic. The sixth lens element is made of plastic and has an object-side surface with a concave portion in a vicinity of the optical axis.
