Abstract

An imaging lens includes an aperture stop and 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:

said image-side surface of said first lens element has a convex portion in a vicinity of the optical axis;
said image-side surface of said second lens element has a concave portion in a vicinity of a periphery of said second lens element, and said object-side surface of said second lens element has a concave portion in a vicinity of the optical axis;
said object-side surface of said third lens element has a concave portion in a vicinity of a periphery of said third lens element;
said fourth lens element has a negative refractive power, and said object-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 a periphery of said fifth lens element;
said imaging lens does not include any lens element with a 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; and
said imaging lens satisfies (T2+T4)/G45≦2.9, where T2 represents a thickness of said second lens element at the optical axis, T4 represents a thickness of said fourth 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,
said imaging lens further satisfies 2.2≦(G23+G34)/T2≦3.4, where G23 represents an air gap length between said second lens element and said third lens element at the optical axis, and G34 represents an air gap length between said third lens element and said fourth lens element at the optical axis,
said imaging lens further satisfies (G23+G45)/T3≦1.6, where T3 represents a thickness of said third lens element at the optical axis.

2. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 1 , further satisfying EFL/T1≦5.7, where EFL represents a system effective focal length of said imaging lens, and T1 represents a thickness of said first lens element at the optical axis.

3. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 2 , further satisfying 4.2≦ALT/G23≦5.5, 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.

4. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 1 , further satisfying Gaa/T4≦4.5, where Gaa represents a sum of four air gap lengths among 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.

5. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 4 , further satisfying 2.4≦(T1+T3)/G23≦3.5, where T1 represents a thickness of said first lens element at the optical axis.

6. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 1 , further satisfying BFL/T3≦1.4, where BFL represents a distance at the optical axis between said image-side surface of said fifth lens element and an image plane.

7. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 6 , further satisfying ALT/T1≦4, 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, and T1 represents a thickness of said first lens element at the optical axis.

8. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 1 , further satisfying 1.65≦T3/(G12+G45)≦3.9, where G12 represents an air gap length between said first lens element and said second lens element at the optical axis.

9. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 8 , further satisfying 2.6≦T1/T2≦3.5, where T1 represents a thickness of said first lens element at the optical axis.

10. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 1 , further satisfying 1.3≦T3/T5≦2.6, where T5 represents a thickness of said fifth lens element at the optical axis.
