  • Publication number: 20130222675
    Abstract: An imaging lens includes a first lens; a second lens; and a third lens arranged from an object side to an image plane side. The first lens has an object-side surface with a positive curvature radius. The second lens has an object-side surface and an image plane-side surface with negative curvature radii. The third lens has an object-side surface and an image plane-side surface with positive curvature radii. The object-side surface and the image plane-side surface of the third lens are respectively formed as an aspheric shape having an inflexion point. When the whole lens system has a focal length f, the first lens has a focal length f1, the second lens has a focal length f2, and the third lens has a focal length f3, the imaging lens satisfies the following conditional expressions: f1<f2 1.0<f1/f<1.5 0.7<f2/f3<1.
