Patent number: 8000040Abstract: In an imaging lens, one compound lens and two single lenses are arranged in a lens barrel. On the light output side of the lens barrel, a filter is arranged with a distance from lens barrel. With a further distance from the filter, an imaging element is arranged. In the compound lens, a resin lens is bonded to a base member lens, having an output surface center of the resin lens displaced by a prescribed amount relative to an output surface center of the base member lens, so that a transmission decentration amount attributed to the base member lens, not including the resin lens, and the single lenses is cancelled by a transmission decentration amount by the resin lens when taken as a whole lens system. Thus, the imaging lens capable of suppressing reduction in resolving power due to transmission decentration of the lenses is obtained.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2008Date of Patent: August 16, 2011Assignee: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Satoru Ota, Yutaka Ueta, Youhei Nakagawa, Yuma Aoi
