In recent years, with the popularity of electronic devices having camera functionalities, the demand of miniaturized optical systems has been increasing. The sensor of a conventional optical 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 systems have gradually evolved toward the field of higher megapixels, there is an increasing demand for compact optical systems featuring better image quality.

Furthermore, the image of the optical system will be excessively curved and tends to be defocused in the peripheral region of the image; therefore, the imaging ability and image quality of the optical system is limited.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

An optical 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 optical imaging lens assembly has a total of six lens elements with refractive power.

The first lens element with positive refractive power in a paraxial region thereof has an object-side surface being convex in a paraxial region thereof. Therefore, it is favorable for balancing the arrangement of the positive refractive power so as to avoid overloading the positive refractive power on one single lens element resulting in excessive spherical aberrations. It is also favorable for reducing the sensitivity of the optical imaging lens assembly.

The second lens element can have negative refractive power in a paraxial region thereof. Therefore, it is favorable for correcting the aberration from the first lens element. In some other embodiments, the second lens element can have positive refractive power in a paraxial region thereof. Therefore, it is favorable for reducing the spherical aberration and the sensitivity of the optical imaging lens assembly.

The third lens element has negative refractive power in a paraxial region thereof. Therefore, it is favorable for further correcting the aberration of the optical imaging lens assembly.

The fourth lens element with negative refractive power in a paraxial region thereof can have an object-side surface being concave in a paraxial region thereof and an image-side surface being convex in a paraxial region thereof. Therefore, it is favorable for effectively correcting the astigmatism and the Petzval's sum of the optical imaging lens assembly so as to improve the flatness of the image surface.

The fifth lens element can have positive refractive power in a paraxial region thereof. The fifth lens element can have an object-side surface being convex in a paraxial region thereof and an image-side surface being concave in a paraxial region thereof. Both of the object-side surface and the image-side surface of the fifth lens element can have at least one inflection point. Both of the object-side surface and the image-side surface of the fifth lens element are aspheric. Therefore, it is favorable for reducing high-order spherical aberration and the astigmatism. Furthermore, it is also favorable for correcting the aberration of the off-axis.

The sixth lens element with positive refractive power in a paraxial region thereof has an object-side surface being convex in a paraxial region thereof and an image-side surface being concave in a paraxial region thereof. The image-side surface of the sixth lens element has at least one convex shape in an off-axis region thereof. Both of the object-side surface and the image-side surface of the sixth lens element are aspheric. Therefore, it is favorable for the principal point of the optical imaging lens assembly being positioned away from the image side of the optical imaging lens assembly and reducing a total track length of the optical imaging lens assembly so as to keep a compact size thereof. Furthermore, it is favorable for effectively reducing the incident angle of the light projecting onto the image sensor, so that it is favorable for improving the image-sensing efficiency of the image sensor and further correcting the aberration of the off-axis.

When a focal length of the third lens element in the paraxial region thereof is f3, a focal length of the fourth lens element in the paraxial region thereof is f4, a focal length of the sixth lens element in the paraxial region thereof is f6, the following condition is satisfied: 0<f3*f4/f6. Therefore, it is favorable for correcting image distortion so that the image is more planar from a paraxial region thereof to an off-axis region thereof.

When a focal length of the optical imaging lens assembly in the paraxial region thereof is f, a vertical distance between a non-axial critical point on the image-side surface of the sixth lens element and an optical axis is Yc62, the following condition is satisfied: 0.20<Yc62/f<0.75. Therefore, it is favorable for the principal point of the optical imaging lens assembly being positioned away from the image side of the optical imaging lens assembly and reducing the total track length of the optical imaging lens assembly so as to keep the compact size thereof. Furthermore, it is favorable for effectively reducing the incident angle of the light projecting onto the image sensor, so that it is favorable for improving the image-sensing efficiency of the image sensor and further correcting the aberration of the off-axis. As seen in FIG. 15, FIG. 15 is a schematic view of Yc62 of a sixth lens element in FIG. 1, the critical point on the image-side surface of the sixth lens element is a non-axial point on the image-side surface of the sixth lens element where its tangent is perpendicular to the optical axis. Specifically, the critical points mentioned above are not located on the optical axis.

When an axial distance between the first lens element and the second lens element is T12, an axial distance between the second lens element and the third lens element is T23, an 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, an axial distance between the fifth lens element and the sixth lens element is T56, the following condition is satisfied: 0.55<T23/(T12+T34+T45+T56). Therefore, it is favorable for reducing the total track length of the optical imaging lens assembly so as to keep the optical imaging lens assembly compact. Preferably, the following condition is satisfied: 0.75<T23/(T12+T34+T45+T56). More preferably, the following condition is satisfied: 0.90<T23/(T12+T34+T45+T56). Much more preferably, the following condition is satisfied: 1.0<T23/(T12+T34+T45+T56)<2.5.

When an Abbe number of the second lens element is V2, an Abbe number of the third lens element is V3, an Abbe number of the fourth lens element is V4, the following condition is satisfied: 50<V2+V3+V4<120. Therefore, it is favorable for correcting the chromatic aberration of the optical imaging lens assembly.

When 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 condition is satisfied: 2.5 [mm]<Td<6.0 [mm]. Therefore, it is favorable for adjusting the total track length of the optical imaging lens assembly so as to be equipped in a compact electronic device.

When a curvature radius of the object-side surface of the fifth lens element is R9, a curvature radius of the image-side surface of the fifth lens element is R10, the following condition is satisfied: |R9/R10|<1.0. Therefore, it is favorable for preventing the image-side of the fifth lens element from being excessively curved, so that it is favorable for molding the fifth lens element.

When a sum of axial distances between any two lens elements adjacent to each other is ΣAT (That is, ΣAT=T12+T23+T34+T45+T56), a sum of central thicknesses of the first lens element through the sixth lens element is ΣCT (That is, ΣCT=CT1+CT2+CT3+CT4+CT5+CT6, wherein CT1 is a central thickness of the first lens element, CT2 is a central thickness of the second lens element, CT3 is a central thickness of the third lens element, CT4 is a central thickness of the fourth lens element, CT5 is a central thickness of the fifth lens element, and CT6 is a central thickness of the sixth lens element), the following condition is satisfied: 0.15<ΣAT/ΣCT<0.45. Therefore, it is favorable for properly adjusting the axial distances and the thicknesses of the lens elements so as to effectively assemble and arrange the optical imaging lens assembly.

When the focal length of the optical imaging lens assembly in the paraxial region thereof is f, the focal length of the third lens element in the paraxial region thereof is f3, the focal length of the fourth lens element in the paraxial region thereof is f4, a focal length of the fifth lens element in the paraxial region thereof is f5, the focal length of the sixth lens element in the paraxial region thereof is f6, the following condition is satisfied: |f/f3|+|f/f4|+|f/f5|+|f/f6|<1.0. Therefore, it is favorable for balancing the refractive powers of the third lens element, the fourth lens element, the fifth lens element and the sixth lens element so as to correct the aberration and reduce the sensitivity of the optical imaging lens assembly.

When the axial distance between the fourth lens element and the fifth lens element is T45, the axial distance between the fifth lens element and the sixth lens element is T56, an axial distance between the object-side surface of the fourth lens element and the image-side surface of the sixth lens element is Dr7r12, the following condition is satisfied: (T45+T56)/Dr7r12<0.10. Therefore, the axial distance between the fourth lens element and the sixth lens element is more proper, so that it is favorable for reducing the total track length of the optical imaging lens assembly.

When the focal length of the optical imaging lens assembly in the paraxial region thereof is f, a curvature radius of an image-side surface of the second lens element is R4, the following condition is satisfied: f/|R4|<2.0. Therefore, it is favorable for correcting the aberration of the optical imaging lens assembly.

According to the optical imaging lens assembly of the present disclosure, an air gap in a paraxial region is arranged between any two 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 that are adjacent to each other, that is, each of the first through sixth lens elements of the optical imaging lens assembly is a single and non-cemented lens element. Moreover, the manufacturing process of the cemented lenses is more complex than the non-cemented lenses. In particular, an image-side surface of one lens element and an object-side surface of the following lens element need to have accurate curvature to ensure these two lens elements will be highly cemented. However, during the cementing process, those two lens elements might not be highly cemented due to displacement and it is thereby not favorable for the image quality of the optical imaging lens assembly. Therefore, there is an air gap in a paraxial region between any two 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 that are adjacent to each other in the present disclosure for improving the problem generated by the cemented lens elements.

According to the optical 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 optical 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, surfaces of each lens element can be arranged to be aspheric, since the aspheric surface of the lens element is easy to form a shape other than spherical surface so as to have more controllable variables for eliminating the aberration thereof, and to further decrease the required number of the lens elements. Therefore, the total track length of the optical imaging lens assembly can also be reduced.

According to the optical imaging lens assembly of the present disclosure, each of an object-side surface and an image-side surface has a paraxial region and an off-axis region. The paraxial region refers to the region of the surface where light rays travel close to the optical axis, and the off-axis region refers to the region of the surface away from the paraxial region. Particularly, when the lens element has a convex surface, it indicates that the surface is convex in the paraxial region thereof; when the lens element has a concave surface, it indicates that the surface is concave in the paraxial region thereof. Moreover, when the region of refractive power or focus of a lens element is not defined, it indicates that the region of refractive power or focus of the lens element is in the paraxial region thereof.

According to the optical imaging lens assembly of the present disclosure, an image surface of the optical imaging lens assembly, based on the corresponding image sensor, can be flat or curved, especially a curved surface being concave facing towards the object side of the optical imaging lens assembly.

According to the optical imaging lens assembly of the present disclosure, the optical imaging lens assembly can include at least one stop, such as an aperture stop, a glare stop or a field stop. Said glare stop or said field stop is set for eliminating the stray light and thereby improving the image quality thereof.

According to the optical imaging lens assembly of the present disclosure, an aperture stop can be configured as a front stop or a middle stop. A front stop disposed between an imaged object and the first lens element can provide a longer distance between an exit pupil of the optical imaging lens assembly and the image surface and thereby improves the image-sensing efficiency of an image sensor. A middle stop disposed between the first lens element and the image surface is favorable for enlarging the field of view of the optical imaging lens assembly and thereby provides a wider field of view for the same.

According to the present disclosure, an image capturing unit is provided. The image capturing unit includes the optical imaging lens assembly according to the aforementioned optical imaging lens assembly of the present disclosure, and an image sensor, wherein the image sensor is disposed on the image side of the aforementioned optical imaging lens assembly, that is, the image sensor can be disposed on or near an image surface of the aforementioned optical imaging lens assembly. In some embodiments, the image capturing unit can further include a barrel member, a holding member or a combination thereof.

In FIG. 16, FIG. 17 and FIG. 18, an image capturing device 10 may be installed in, but not limited to, an electronic device, including a smart phone (FIG. 16), a tablet personal computer (FIG. 17) or a wearable device (FIG. 18).

In some embodiments, the electronic device can further include, but not limited to, a display, a control unit, a random access memory unit (RAM), a read only memory unit (ROM) or a combination thereof.

According to the optical imaging lens assembly of the present disclosure, the optical imaging lens assembly can be optionally applied to moving focus optical systems. Furthermore, the optical imaging lens assembly is featured with good capability in corrections and high image quality, and can be applied to 3D (three-dimensional) image capturing applications, in products such as digital cameras, mobile devices, digital tablets, wearable devices, smart televisions, wireless monitoring devices, motion sensing input devices, driving recorders, rear view cameras and other electronic imaging devices.
