  • Publication number: 20230204906
    Abstract: An optical imaging system includes a first lens group, a second lens group, a third lens group, and a fourth lens group sequentially disposed in ascending numerical order along an optical axis of the optical imaging system from an object side of the optical imaging system toward an imaging plane of the optical imaging system, wherein at least one lens group among the first lens group to the fourth lens group is configured to be movable along the optical axis, the first lens group has a positive refractive power and comprises a reflective member and at least one lens disposed between the object side of the optical imaging system and the reflective member, and the at least one lens is configured to refract light passing through the at least one lens to converge the light to be incident on the reflective member.

  • Publication number: 20230168466
    Abstract: An optical imaging system includes a first lens group including two or more lenses, and a second lens group including two or more lenses. The first lens group and the second lens group are sequentially arranged from an object side, and the second lens group is configured to be movable in an optical axis direction. 0.8<TTL/f<1.2. Here, TTL is a distance from an object-side surface of the foremost lens of the first lens group to an imaging plane, and f is a focal length of the optical imaging system.

  • Publication number: 20230071059
    Abstract: An imaging lens system includes a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, and a seventh lens, sequentially disposed from an object side. A field of view (FOV) of the imaging lens system according to an embodiment is wider than 85 degrees and narrower than 160 degrees. In the imaging lens system according to an embodiment, a distance (TTL) from an object-side surface of the first lens to an imaging plane is greater than 6.0 mm and less than 9.0 mm.

  • Publication number: 20220268971
    Abstract: An optical imaging system includes a plurality of fixed lenses disposed along an optical axis; a first reflective member disposed on an object side of the plurality of lenses; and a plurality of reflective members disposed on an image side of the plurality of lenses. At least one of the plurality of lenses is a variable lens having a variable focal length, and each of the plurality of reflective members is configured to move as the focal length of the variable lens changes.

  • Publication number: 20220171168
    Abstract: An optical imaging system includes: a first lens group including a plurality of lenses; a second lens group including a plurality of lenses; a first reflecting member disposed on an object side of the first lens group; and a plurality of second reflecting members arranged between the second lens group and an image sensor. One or both of the first lens group and the second lens group is movable along an optical axis, an interval along the optical axis between the first lens group and the second lens group is varied between a first interval and a second interval smaller than the first interval, and as at least one of the first lens group and the second lens group is moved, one or more of the second reflecting members are moved.

  • Publication number: 20220113520
    Abstract: A camera module includes a first lens group; a first optical path folding unit; a second lens group; and a second optical path folding unit. The first lens group, the first optical path folding unit, the second lens group, and the second optical path folding unit are sequentially disposed from an object side of the first lens group toward an imaging plane of the camera module. The first optical path folding unit includes a first fixed reflective member and a first movable reflective member configured to vary a length of an optical path between the first lens group and the second lens group, and the second optical path folding unit includes a second fixed reflective member and a second movable reflective member configured to vary a length of an optical path between the second lens group and an imaging plane.
