BACKGROUND1. Technical Field
The present invention relates to an imaging lens assembly. More particularly, the present invention relates to a compact imaging lens assembly applicable to electronic products.
2. Description of Related Art
In recent years, with the popularity of mobile products having camera functionalities, the demand of miniaturized optical lens systems has been increasing. The sensor of a conventional optical lens system is typically a CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) or a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) sensor. As the advanced semiconductor manufacturing technologies have allowed the pixel size of sensors to be reduced and compact optical lens systems have gradually evolved toward the field of higher megapixels, there is an increasing demand for compact optical lens systems featuring better image quality.
A conventional optical lens system employed in a portable electronic product mainly adopts a four-element lens structure or a five-element lens structure such as the ones disclosed in the U.S. Pat. No. 7,869,142 and the U.S. Pat. No. 8,000,031. Due to the popularity of mobile products with high-end specifications, such as smart phones and PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), the requirements for high resolution and image quality of present compact optical lens systems increase significantly. However, the conventional optical lens system cannot satisfy these requirements of the compact optical lens systems.
Other conventional compact optical lens systems with six-element lens structure such as the one disclosed in the U.S. Publication No. 2012/0206822 A1 enhance image quality and resolution. However, the shape of the surfaces of the fifth lens element cannot effectively control the angle at which the incident light projects onto an image sensor from every field, so that the vignetting is generated on the peripheral region of the image and the image quality is decreased. Furthermore, the size of the optical lens system cannot be effectively reduced, and cannot be applied to the portable assembly.

The present disclosure can be more fully understood by reading the following detailed description of the embodiment, with reference made to the accompanying drawings as follows:
An imaging lens assembly includes, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens element, a second lens element, a third lens element, a fourth lens element, a fifth lens element and a sixth lens element. The imaging lens assembly has a total of six lens elements with refractive power.
The first lens element with positive refractive power has a convex object-side surface, and can have a concave image-side surface. Therefore, the total track length of the imaging lens assembly can be reduced by properly adjusting the positive refractive power of the first lens element.
The second lens element can have a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface, so that the astigmatism can be corrected by proper the curvatures of the surfaces thereof.
The third lens element with positive refractive power can have a convex image-side surface. Therefore, the distribution of the positive refractive power of the first lens element can be balanced for avoiding the excessive spherical aberration and reducing the photosensitivity of the imaging lens assembly.
The fourth lens element with negative refractive power has a concave object-side surface and a convex image-side surface. Therefore, the Petzval sum and the astigmatism of the imaging lens assembly can be corrected effectively, so that the image would be sharper.
The fifth lens element with positive refractive power has a convex object-side surface, wherein the object-side surface of the fifth lens element changes from convex at a paraxial region thereof to concave at a peripheral region thereof. Therefore, the spherical aberration can be improved, and the coma aberration and the astigmatism from the off-axis field can be corrected.
The sixth lens element has a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface. Therefore, the principal point of the imaging lens assembly can be positioned away from the image plane, and the back focal length thereof can be reduced so as to keep the imaging lens assembly compact. Furthermore, the sixth lens element has at least one inflection point on at least one of the object-side surface and the image-side surface thereof. It is favorable for effectively reducing the angle at which the incident light projects onto an image sensor from the off-axis field so as to correct the off-axis aberration.
When a curvature radius of the object-side surface of the fifth lens element is R9, and a curvature radius of the image-side surface of the fifth lens element is R10, the following relationship is satisfied: −3.0<(R9+R10)/(R9−R10)<0.30.

Preferably, the following relationship is satisfied: 0.3<(T56+CT6)/CT5<2.0. More preferably, the following relationship is satisfied: 0.5<(T56+CT6)/CT5<1.7.
When a focal length of the imaging lens assembly is f, and a focal length of the sixth lens element is f6, the following relationship is satisfied: −0.7<f/f6<0.5. Therefore, the principal point of the imaging lens assembly can be positioned away from the image plane, and the back focal length of the imaging lens assembly can be reduced so as to keep the compact size thereof. Furthermore, the photosensitivity of the imaging lens assembly can be also reduced.
When an f-number of the imaging lens assembly is Fno, the following relationship is satisfied: 1.2<Fno<2.5. It is favorable for obtaining the large aperture characteristic by properly adjusting the f-number, so that the clear image can be captured by higher shutter speed in low light.
When a maximum effective radius of the object-side surface of the first lens element is SD11, and a maximum effective radius of the image-side surface of the sixth lens element is SD62, the following relationship is satisfied: 0.20<SD11/SD62<0.45. It is favorable for effectively reducing the angle at which the incident light projects onto an image sensor so as to correct the off-axis aberration.
When a focal length of the first lens element is f1, and a focal length of the third lens element is f3, the following relationship is satisfied: 0<f3/f1<1.0. Therefore, the positive refractive power of the first lens element can be properly distributed so as to avoid the excessive spherical aberration.
When an Abbe number of the second lens element is V2, an Abbe number of the fourth lens element is V4, and an Abbe number of the sixth lens element is V6, the following relationship is satisfied: 0.70<(V2+V4)/V6<1.00. Therefore, the chromatic aberration of the imaging lens assembly can be corrected.
When a half of a maximal field of view of the imaging lens assembly is HFOV, the following relationship is satisfied: 35 degrees<HFOV<50 degrees. In order to avoid the distortion of the peripheral region of the image under larger field of view or the restriction of the capturing range under insufficient field of view, the field of view of the imaging lens assembly is proper for capturing the proper range and providing high image quality.
When a curvature radius of the object-side surface of the third lens element is R5, and a curvature radius of the image-side surface of the third lens element is R6, the following relationship is satisfied: 0.6<(R5+R6)/(R5−R6)<1.5. Therefore, the spherical aberration and the photosensitivity of the imaging lens assembly can be reduced.
When a central thickness of the second lens element is CT2, and an axial distance between the first lens element and the second lens element is T12, the following relationship is satisfied: 0.4<CT2/T12<2.0. It is favorable for manufacturing and assembling the lens elements so as to maintain the compact size of the imaging lens assembly.
When the focal length of the imaging lens assembly is f, and the focal length of the third lens element is f3, the following relationship is satisfied: 0.8<f/f3<1.5. Therefore, the spherical aberration of the imaging lens assembly can be corrected.
When a vertical distance between a non-axial critical point on the object-side surface of the fifth lens element and an optical axis is Yc51, and a vertical distance between a non-axial critical point on the image-side surface of the sixth lens element and the optical axis is Yc62, the following relationship is satisfied: 0.5<Yc51/Yc62<1.1. Therefore, the aberration from the off-axis field can be effectively corrected.
When a sum of central thicknesses of the first lens element, the second lens element, the third lens element, the fourth lens element, the fifth lens element and the sixth lens element is ΣCT, and an axial distance between the object-side surface of the first lens element and the image-side surface of the sixth lens element is TD, the following relationship is satisfied: 0.75<ΣCT/TD<0.90. Therefore, the thicknesses of the lens elements and the distance between the lens elements are proper so as to assemble the mechanism for fasten or position the lens elements.
When an axial distance between the object-side surface of the first lens element and the image plane is TL, the following relationship is satisfied: 3.0 mm<TL<5.0 mm. It is favorable for maintain the compact size of the imaging lens assembly.
According to the imaging lens assembly of the present disclosure, the lens elements thereof can be made of glass or plastic material. When the lens elements are made of glass material, the distribution of the refractive power of the imaging lens assembly may be more flexible to design. When the lens elements are made of plastic material, the manufacturing cost can be effectively reduced. Furthermore, the surface of each lens element can be aspheric, so that it is easier to make the surface into non-spherical shapes. As a result, more controllable variables are obtained, and the aberration is reduced, as well as the number of required lens elements can be reduced while constructing the imaging lens assembly. The total track length of the imaging lens assembly can thereby be reduced.
According to the imaging lens assembly of the present disclosure, when the lens element has a convex surface, it indicates that the surface is convex at the paraxial region; and when the lens element has a concave surface, it indicates that the surface is concave at the paraxial region.
According to the imaging lens assembly of the present disclosure, there can be at least one stop provided, such as an aperture stop, a glare stop, or a field stop. Said glare stop or said field stop is allocated for reducing the stray light and thereby improving the image resolution thereof.
Furthermore, an aperture stop can be configured as a front stop or a middle stop. A front stop disposed between the object and the first lens element can provide a longer distance from an exit pupil of the system to an image plane and thereby the generated telecentric effect improves the image-sensing efficiency of an image sensor. A middle stop disposed between the first lens element and the image plane is favorable for enlarging the field of view of the system and thereby provides a wider field of view for the same.
According to the imaging lens assembly of the present disclosure, a critical point is a non-axial point of the lens surface where its tangent is perpendicular to the optical axis.
According to the imaging lens assembly of the present disclosure, the imaging lens assembly is featured with good correction ability and high image quality, and can be applied to 3D (three-dimensional) image capturing applications, in products such as digital cameras, mobile devices and tablets.
