  • Publication number: 20230228977
    Abstract: An optical imaging system includes a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, and a seventh lens sequentially disposed in numerical order along an optical axis of the optical imaging system from an object side of the optical imaging system toward an imaging plane of the optical imaging system, wherein the first to seventh lenses are spaced apart from each other along the optical axis, and the optical imaging system satisfies 0.4 < L1TR/L7TR < 1.9, where L1TR is an overall outer diameter of the first lens, L7TR is an overall outer diameter of the seventh lens, and L1TR and L7TR are expressed in a same unit of measurement.
