Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A lens assembly includes a first lens, a second lens and a third lens from an object side of the lens assembly to an image side of the lens assembly, in turn. The first lens has a positive refractive power and object side with a convexity; the second lens has a negative refractive power; and the third lens has a positive refractive power. The lens assembly has characteristics such as broad filed angle (wide angle), miniaturization and high imaging quality.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A lens assembly, comprising: a first lens, a second lens and a third lens from an object side of the lens assembly to an image side of the lens assembly, in turn, wherein: the first lens is of a positive refractive power, and an object side of the first lens is of a convexity; the second lens is of a negative refractive power; and the third lens is of a positive refractive power, and an image side of the third lens is of a concavity and has one inflection point, wherein the lens assembly meets the following formulas: tan(HFOV)>0.74; TTL/Img H <1.7; 0.6< f 1/ f< 0.8; and −1.3< f 1/ f 2<−0.8, wherein HFOV represents a horizontal field of view and equals to half of a field angle of the lens assembly, TTL represents a total track length of the lens assembly, ImgH represents half diameter of an effective pixel region of the lens assembly at an imaging plane, f1 represents a focal length of the first lens, f2 represents a focal length of the second lens, and f represents an effective focal length of the lens assembly. 2. The lens assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the lens assembly further meets the following formulas: |( R 1+ R 2)/( R 1− R 2)|<0.4; and −1.5< R 2/ f<− 0.5, wherein R1 represents a curvature radius of the object side of the first lens, and R2 represents a curvature radius of an image side of the first lens. 3. The lens assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the lens assembly further meets the following formulas: −8<( R 5+ R 6)/( R 5− R 6)<−4; and 0.8< f 3/ f< 1.6, wherein R5 represents a curvature radius of an object side of the third lens, R6 represents a curvature radius of the image side of the third lens, and f3 represents a focal length of the third lens. 4. The lens assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the lens assembly further meets the following formulas: 1.4< CT 1/ CT 2<1.9; and 1.8< CT 3/ CT 2<2.0, wherein CT1 represents a center thickness of the first lens, CT2 represents a center thickness of the second lens, and CT3 represents a center thickness of the third lens. 5. The lens assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the lens assembly further meets the following formula: 0.4<( CT 1+ CT 2+ CT 3)/TTL<0.6. 6. The lens assembly according to claim 1 , wherein an image side of the first lens is of a convexity, an object side of the second lens is of a concavity, an image side of the second lens is of a convexity, and an object side of the third lens is of a convexity and has one inflection point. 7. The lens assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising a diaphragm arranged between an object being imaged and the second lens. 8. The lens assembly according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first lens, the second lens and the third lens is made of a plastic material. 9. The lens assembly according to claim 1 , wherein an image side of the second lens has one inflection point.
