Abstract

An imaging lens is provided and includes: in order from the object side, a first lens having a positive refractive power; a second lens having a negative refractive power; a third lens having a convex surface on the image side near the optical axis and having a positive refractive power; a fourth lens having a positive refractive power near the optical axis; and a fifth lens having a negative refractive power near the optical axis. An image side surface of the fifth lens is concave near the optical axis and has a region where a negative power of the region decreases toward a periphery of the fifth lens as compared with a negative power near the optical axis.

Claims (46)

1. An imaging lens comprising: in order from an object side thereof,

a first lens having a positive refractive power;

a second lens having a negative refractive power;

a third lens having a convex surface on an image side near the optical axis thereof and having a positive refractive power;

a fourth lens having a positive refractive power near the optical axis thereof; and

a fifth lens having a negative refractive power near the optical axis thereof, wherein an image side surface of the fifth lens is concave near the optical axis, wherein

an object side surface of the first lens is convex toward the object side near the optical axis,

an image side surface of the fourth lens is convex toward an image side near the optical axis,

the image side surface of the fifth lens is configured to be an aspheric surface which has a concave shape near the optical axis and has a convex shape in the peripheral portion, and

the imaging lens has a total of five lenses.

2. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the following conditional expression is satisfied:

0. 8< f/f 1<1.5  (1)

wherein fl is a focal length of the first lens and f is a focal length of the imaging lens.

3. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the following conditional expression is satisfied:

f 1 <|f 2 |<f 3  (2)

wherein fl is a focal length of the first lens, f 2 is a focal length of the second lens, and f 3 is a focal length of the third lens.

4. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the following conditional expression is satisfied

vd2<35  (3)

wherein vd 2 is an Abbe number of the second lens at the d-line.

5. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein

when an aspheric shape at a height h from a vertex of a lens surface is expressed by a aspheric surface expression, a first order differential value of the aspheric surface expression represents a slope of the lens surface at the height h, and a second order differential value thereof represents a displacement of the slope of the lens surface,

assuming that a minimum height, at which an algebraic sign of the second order differential value is changed, from the optical axis is ha, a height at a maximum effective radius is hmax, and a height at 70 percent of the maximum effective radius is 0.7 hmax,

an image side surface of the fourth lens has an aspheric shape satisfying the following expression:

ha<0.7hmax  (4).

6. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein both surfaces in each of the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, and the fifth lens are aspheric.

7. An imaging apparatus comprising:

an imaging lens according to claim 1 ; and

an imaging device for outputting an imaging signal based on an optical image formed by the imaging lens.

8. A portable terminal device comprising:

an imaging apparatus according to claim 7 ; and

a display unit that displays an image taken by the imaging apparatus.

9. An imaging lens comprising: in order from an object side thereof,

a first lens having a positive refractive power;

a second lens having a negative refractive power;

a third lens having a convex surface on an image side near the optical axis thereof and having a positive refractive power;

a fourth lens having a positive refractive power near the optical axis thereof; and

a fifth lens having a negative refractive power near the optical axis thereof, wherein an image side surface of the fifth lens is concave near the optical axis, wherein

an object side surface of the first lens is convex toward the object side near the optical axis,

an image side surface of the fourth lens is convex toward an image side near the optical axis,

the following conditional expression is satisfied:

f 1<| f 2|< f 3

wherein fl is a focal length of the first lens, f 2 is a focal length of the second lens, and f 3 is a focal length of the third lens, and

when an aspheric shape at a height h from a vertex of a lens surface is expressed by a aspheric surface expression, a first order differential value of the aspheric surface expression represents a slope of the lens surface at the height h, and a second order differential value thereof represents a displacement of the slope of the lens surface,

assuming that a minimum height, at which an algebraic sign of the second order differential value is changed, from the optical axis is ha, a height at a maximum effective radius is hmax, and a height at 70 percent of the maximum effective radius is 0.7 hmax,

an image side surface of the fourth lens has an aspheric shape satisfying the following expression:

ha<0.7hmax.
