  • Patent number: 11960058
    Abstract: An optical imaging system includes a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, and a fourth lens sequentially disposed from an object side toward an image side on an optical axis, and a reflecting member disposed closer to the object side, as compared to the first lens, and having a reflecting surface configured to change a path of light to be incident to the first to fourth lenses. The first to fourth lenses are disposed to be spaced apart from each other by a preset distance along the optical axis, and 1.3<TTL/BFL<3.5, where TTL is a distance from an object-side surface of the first lens to an imaging plane of an image sensor, and BFL is a distance from an image-side surface of the fourth lens to the imaging plane of the image sensor.
