Abstract

An imaging lens with large aperture ratio, high-performance and low-cost is provided, which is applied to an imaging element of a small-size and high resolution, in which aberration is corrected satisfactorily and sufficient diffraction resolution is achieved. An imaging lens includes a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, and a fifth lens arranged in sequence from an object side, wherein both surfaces of each lens are formed from aspheric surface, a diffraction optics surface exerting chromatic dispersion function is arranged on a surface on an image side of the second lens, each lens is configured from plastic material, and an aperture ratio is equal to or smaller than F/2.4.

Claims (19)

1. An imaging lens for an imaging element, comprising a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, and a fifth lens arranged in sequence from an object side, wherein both surfaces of each lens are formed from aspheric surface, a diffraction optics surface exerting chromatic dispersion function is arranged directly on a surface on an image side of the second lens, each lens is configured from plastic material, and an aperture ratio is equal to or smaller than F/2.4,

wherein the imaging lens satisfies the following conditional expressions:

0.9 <f/f 12 <1.2  (1)

−0.23 <f/f 34 <0.12  (2)

−0.72 <f/f 1 <0.1  (3)

| f/f 5 |<0.2  (4)

where

f: focal length of overall system

f 12 : composite focal length of the first lens and the second lens

f 34 : composite focal length of the third lens and the fourth lens

f 1 : focal length of the first lens

f 5 : focal length of the fifth lens.

2. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein

the first lens has a convex surface on the object side and has a positive or a negative power,

the second lens is configured from the convex surface on both sides,

the third lens is configured from a meniscus lens having a concave surface at the object side and having negative power,

the fourth lens has a convex surface on the image side and has a positive power,

the fifth lens is configured from the meniscus lens having the convex surface on the object side, and

an aperture stop is arranged on the object side than the second lens.
