  • Publication number: 20200409119
    Abstract: An imaging lens includes a first lens having negative refractive power; a second lens; a third lens; a fourth lens; a fifth lens; and a sixth lens, arranged in this order from an object side to an image plane side. The first lens is formed in a shape so that a surface thereof on the object side has an aspheric shape. The fourth lens is formed in a shape so that a surface thereof on the image plane side has an aspheric shape. The fifth lens is formed in a shape so that a surface thereof on the image plane side is concave at a paraxial region thereof, and has an aspheric shape having an inflection point. The sixth lens has a specific Abbe's number ?6. The first lens and the fifth lens are disposed away from the second lens and the sixth lens, respectively, by specific distances.
