  • Patent number: 10495849
    Abstract: An optical lens assembly utilized as part of an electronic device may be configured to provide a compact structure and/or a thin profile for the electronic device while maintaining high resolution, via the use of at least one lens having planar surfaces in partial portions thereof. An optical lens assembly may include at least two lenses arranged from an object side to an image side, where at least one of the at least two lenses includes an object side surface with a planar central region, an image side surface that also has a planar central region and a peripheral region having an aspherical surface. Various embodiments with differing lens arrangements are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9817214
    Abstract: Photographing lenses and a photographing apparatus including the photographing lenses using several lenses and to incorporate high-performance photographing apparatuses in slim portable terminals while maintaining optical characteristics and aberration characteristics of the high-performance photographing apparatuses. The photographing lenses include: a first lens having a positive refractive power and a convex object-side surface; a second lens having a positive refractive power; a third lens having a negative refractive power; a fourth lens having a convex image-side surface; a fifth lens having an object-side surface and an image-side surface that are concave in a region around an optical axis of the photographing lenses; and a sixth lens having an image-side surface that is concave in a region around the optical axis of the photographing lenses. The first lens to sixth lens are sequentially arranged in a direction from an object side to an image side.

  • Patent number: 9465193
    Abstract: An imaging lens system includes a first lens to a fifth lens sequentially disposed from an object side to an image side. The first lens has a positive refractive power and an object side lens surface that is convex toward the object side. The second lens has a negative refractive power and a meniscus shape that is concave toward the image side. The third lens has a positive refractive power. The fourth lens has a negative refractive power and a meniscus shape that is concave toward the object side. The fifth lens has a negative refractive power and a meniscus shape that is concave toward the image side near an optical axis. The imaging lens system satisfies the following condition: f34/f<?5, where f denotes a focal length of the imaging lens system, and f34 denotes an effective focal length of the third lens and the fourth lens.
