Abstract

A lens system and a portable device employing the lens system are provided. The lens system includes at least three lenses and an infrared cut filter disposed between any of the lenses to prevent redness from occurring at a center region of an image as the lens system is miniaturized. An angle ⊖ 1 at which light is incident on the infrared cut filter satisfies 14°≦θ 1 ≦16°.

Claims (37)

1. A lens system comprising at least three lenses and an infrared cut filter disposed between the second lens and the third lens such that a telecentric angle ⊖ 1 at which light is incident on the infrared cut filter satisfies 14°≦θ 1 ≦16°.

2. The lens system of claim 1 , wherein at least one lens is a plastic aspherical lens.

3. The lens system of claim 1 , wherein the lens system consists of three lenses.

4. The lens system of claim 3 , wherein the first lens has a positive refraction power, the second lens has a positive refraction power, and the third lens has a negative refraction power, measured from a direction in which outside light enters the lens system.

5. A portable device comprising a lens system comprising at least three lenses and an infrared cut filter disposed between any of the lenses such that a telecentric angle ⊖ 1 at which light is incident on the infrared cut filter satisfies 14°≦θ 1 ≦16°, and further comprising an image pick-up device,

wherein the angle ⊖ 1 at which light is incident on the infrared cut filter and an angle ⊖ 2 at which light is incident on the image pick-up device satisfy

6. The portable device of claim 5 , further comprising an image pick-up device, wherein at least one lens is a plastic aspherical lens.

7. The portable device of claim 6 , further comprising an image pick-up device,

wherein a distance D 1 from a front surface of the lens system on which light is incident to the image pick-up device, and a distance D 2 from a rear surface of the lens system through which light is output to the image pick-up device, satisfy 3.3 mm 2 ≦D 1 ×D 2 ≦9.12 mm 2 .

8. The portable device of claim 5 , further comprising an image pick-up device,

wherein a distance D 1 from a front surface of the lens system on which light is incident to the image pick-up device, and a distance D 2 from a rear surface of the lens system through which light is output to the image pick-up device, satisfy 3.3 mm 2 ≦D 1 ×D 2 ≦9.12 mm 2 .

9. The portable device of claim 5 , wherein the portable device is a mobile phone.

10. A portable device comprising a lens system consisting of three lenses and further comprising an image pick-up device, and an infrared cut filter disposed between the second lens and the third lens such that a telecentric angle ⊖ 1 at which light is incident on the infrared cut filter satisfies 14°≦θ 1 ≦16°.

11. The portable device of claim 10 , wherein the first lens has a positive refraction power, the second lens has a positive refraction power, and the third lens has a negative refraction power, measured from a direction in which outside light enters the lens system.

12. The portable device of claim 11 , further comprising an image pick-up device,

wherein a distance D 1 from a front surface of the lens system on which light is incident to the image pick-up device, and a distance D 2 from a rear surface of the lens system through which light is output to the image pick-up device, satisfy 3.3 mm 2 ≦D 1 ×D 2 ≦9.12 mm 2 .

13. The portable device of claim 11 , further comprising an image pick-up device,

wherein the angle ⊖ 1 at which light is incident on the infrared cut filter and an angle ⊖ 2 at which light is incident on the image pick-up device satisfy
