  • Patent number: 9134511
    Abstract: A low-cost, compact and low-profile imaging lens with relatively high brightness, which provides a wide angle of view of about 90 degrees and corrects various aberrations properly. It is designed for use in a solid-state image sensor and includes the following elements arranged in order from an object side to an image side: a first lens as a positive or negative double-sided aspheric lens having a convex object-side surface near an optical axis; an aperture stop; a positive second lens having a convex image-side surface; a negative third lens having a concave image-side surface; a positive fourth lens having a convex image-side surface; and a fifth lens as a negative meniscus lens having a concave image-side surface near the optical axis. It satisfies a conditional expression (1) below: 0.9<ih/f<1.1??(1) where f: focal length of the overall optical system of the imaging lens ih: maximum image height.

  • Patent number: 9116329
    Abstract: An imaging lens in which a positive (refractive power) first lens group, positive second lens group, and negative third lens group are arranged in order from the object side to the image side. The first lens group includes a positive first lens having a convex object-side surface and a negative second lens having a concave image-side surface near the optical axis. The second lens group includes third and fourth lenses each having at least one aspheric surface. The third lens group includes a negative fifth lens having a concave object-side surface near the axis, a positive sixth lens having a convex image-side surface near the axis, and a negative seventh lens having a concave image-side surface near the axis. The lenses are not joined to each other and the seventh lens has an aspheric image-side surface whose shape changes from concave to convex as the distance from the axis increases.
