  • Patent number: 10114198
    Abstract: An imaging lens includes a first lens group and a second lens group, arranged in this order from an object side to an image plane side. The first lens group includes a first lens having positive refractive power, a second lens having at least one aspheric surface, and a third lens having at least one aspheric surface, arranged with a space in between. The second lens group includes a fourth lens having at least one aspheric surface, a fifth lens having negative refractive power and two aspheric surfaces, and a sixth lens having negative refractive power and two aspheric surfaces, arranged with a space in between. The sixth lens is formed in a shape so that a curvature radius of the surface on the object side is negative near an optical axis. The first lens has a specific focal length so that a specific conditional expression is satisfied.

  • Patent number: 10095005
    Abstract: An imaging lens includes a first lens group and a second lens group, arranged from an object side to an image plane side. The first lens group includes two lenses having positive refractive power, one lens having negative refractive power and at least one aspheric surface, and an aperture stop disposed between the two positive lenses. The second lens group includes one lens having positive refractive power and at least one aspheric surface and two lenses having negative refractive power and two aspheric surfaces. The lens of the second lens group situated at a nearest position to the image plane side is formed so that a curvature radius of the surface on the object side and a curvature radius of the surface on the image plane side are negative near an optical axis thereof. The first lens group is arranged away from the second lens group by a specific distance.
