Also, 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 compact optical lens system employed in a portable electronic product mainly adopts a four-element lens structure such as the one disclosed in the U.S. Pat. No. 8,169,528.

 DETAILED DESCRIPTION

An image capturing system 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 and a fifth lens element, wherein the image capturing system has a total of five lens elements with refractive power.

The first lens element has positive refractive power, so that it provides the image capturing system with the positive refractive power as it needs to be so as to reduce the total track length. Moreover, the first lens element has a convex object-side surface at a paraxial region, so that it is favorable for effectively reduce the total track length. The first lens element can have a concave image-side surface at a paraxial region, so that it is favorable for correcting the astigmatism.

The second lens element can have negative refractive power, so that it is favorable for correcting the aberration generated from the first lens element. The second lens element can have a convex object-side surface at a paraxial region and a concave image-side surface at a paraxial region. Therefore, it is favorable for effectively correcting the astigmatism. Furthermore, the shape of the object-side surface of the second lens element can change from convex at the paraxial region to concave at a peripheral region. Therefore, it is favorable for reducing the angle at which the incident light projects onto an image sensor from the off-axis so as to improve the image-sensing efficiency of the image sensor, and it is also favorable for correcting the aberration of the off-axis.

The third lens element can have positive refractive power, so that it is favorable for reducing the system sensitivity and the spherical aberration. The third lens element can have a convex image-side surface at a paraxial region, so that it is favorable for effectively reducing the system sensitivity.

The fourth lens element with negative refractive power is favorable for effectively correcting the Petzval Sum of the image capturing system so as to form a more flat image plane. The fourth lens element has a concave object-side surface at a paraxial region and a convex image-side surface at a paraxial region, so that the astigmatism of the image capturing system can be effectively corrected so as to improve image quality.

The fifth lens element can have a convex object-side surface at a paraxial and a concave image-side surface at a paraxial region, so that the astigmatism of the image capturing system can be corrected. Furthermore, the shape of the image-side surface of the fifth lens element changes from concave at the paraxial region to convex at a peripheral region. Therefore, it is favorable for reducing the angle at which the incident light projects onto the image sensor from the off-axis so as to enhance the image-sensing efficiency of the image sensor, and it is also favorable for correcting the aberration of the off-axis.

When an axial distance between the first lens element and the second lens element is T12, and a central thickness of the second lens element is CT2, the following relationship is satisfied: 1.08<T12/CT2<3.0. It is favorable for effectively enlarging the axial space between the first lens element and the second lens element so as to have space arranging for other mechanical components. It is also favorable for control the amount of the light exposure, the length of exposure time, or the filter. Preferably, the following relationship is satisfied: 1.2<T12/CT2<2.0.

When the axial distance between the first lens element and the second lens element is T12, and an axial distance between the third lens element and the fourth lens element is T34, the following relationship is satisfied: 1.08<T12/T34<3.0. It is favorable for assembling the lens elements of the image capturing system so as to increase the manufacturing yield rate. Preferably, the following relationship is satisfied: 0.85<T12/T34<3.0.

When a focal length of the fourth lens element is f4, and a focal length of the fifth lens element is f5, the following relationship is satisfied: 0<|f4/f5|<0.50. Therefore, the arrangement of the refractive power between the fourth lens element and the fifth lens element will be more balanced for effectively correcting the aberration so as to improve the resolving power of the system.

When a distance in parallel with an optical axis from a maximum effective diameter position on the image-side surface of the fourth lens element to an axial vertex on the image-side surface of the fourth lens element is SAG42 (When the distance towards the object side of the image capturing system is negative, and when the distance towards the image side of the image capturing system is positive), and a central thickness of the fourth lens element is CT4, the following relationship is satisfied: 0.6<|SAG42/CT4|<1.3. Therefore, the surface shape of the fourth lens element will not be too curvy and the thickness of the fourth lens element will also be proper. It is also favorable for manufacturing and shaping the lens elements, and reducing the required space for assembling the lens elements so as to keep the lens elements more compact.

When a focal length of the image capturing system is f, and a focal length of the third lens element is f3, the following relationship is satisfied: 0.7<f/f3<1.7. It is favorable for reducing the system sensitivity and the spherical aberration.

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: 0.5<(R5+R6)/(R5−R6)<2.0. It is favorable for reducing the spherical aberration.

When the curvature radius of the image-side surface of the fourth lens element is R8, and a focal length of the fourth lens element is f4, the following relationship is satisfied: 0<R8/f4<0.8. It is favorable for correcting the aberration so as to improve image quality.

When an axial distance between the second lens element and the third lens element is T23, the axial distance between the third lens element and the fourth lens element is T34, an axial distance between the fourth lens element and the fifth lens element is T45, and a central thickness of the fifth lens element is CT5, the following relationship is satisfied: 0.30<(T23+T34+T45)/CT5<0.85. It thereby avoids the lens elements from being deformed and is favorable for assembling the lens elements so as to increase the manufacturing yield rate.

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 first lens element is V1, the following relationship is satisfied: 0.6<(V2+V4)/V1<1.0. It is favorable for correcting the chromatic aberration.

Please refer to FIG. 11, the axial distance between the first lens element 1110 and the second lens element 1120 will be effectively enlarged under the arrangement of the present disclosure. Accordingly, a mechanical component, such as a shutter, interposed between the first lens element 1110 and the second lens element 1120 can control the amount of light exposure, the length of exposure time, or the filter so as to effectively adjust the image.

According to the image capturing system 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 image capturing system 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 an optical system. The total track length of the image capturing system can thereby be reduced.

According to the image capturing system 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.

According to the image capturing system 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 image capturing system of the present disclosure, the image capturing system 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.
