Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A photographing optical lens assembly includes five lens elements which are, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens element, a second lens element, a third lens element, a fourth lens element and a fifth lens element. The first lens element with positive refractive power has an object-side surface being convex in a paraxial region thereof. The second lens element has negative refractive power. The fourth lens element has an image-side surface being concave in a paraxial region thereof. The fifth lens element has an object-side surface and an image-side surface being both aspheric.
