Abstract

An image pickup lens includes, in sequence from an object side to an image side, an aperture stop; a first lens having two convex surfaces and having a positive refractive power; a second lens in a meniscus shape whose convex surface faces to the object side having a negative refractive power; a third lens in a meniscus shape with the convex surface facing to the image side having a positive refractive power; a fourth lens in a meniscus shape with the convex surface facing to the object side having a negative refractive power. Predefined conditions are satisfied.

Claims (36)

1. An image pickup lens comprising, in sequence from an object side to an image side:

an aperture stop;

a first lens having two convex surfaces and having a positive refractive power;

a second lens in a meniscus shape whose convex surface faces to the object side having a negative refractive power;

a third lens in a meniscus shape with the convex surface facing to the image side having a positive refractive power;

a fourth lens in a meniscus shape with the convex surface facing to the object side having a negative refractive power; wherein

the following conditions (1)˜(5) are satisfied:

0.80 ≦f 1 /f≦ 1.05  (1)

−1.80 ≦f 2 /f≦− 1.20  (2)

−0.70 ≦R 1 /R 2≦−0.17  (3)

4.00 ≦R 3 /R 4≦70.00  (4)

0.10 ≦d 4 /f≦ 0.20  (5) where

f is the focal length of the entire lens;

f 1 is the focal length of the first lens;

f 2 is the focal length of the second lens;

R 1 is the curvature radius of the object side surface of the first lens;

R 2 is the curvature radius of the image side surface of the first lens;

R 3 is the curvature radius of the object side surface of the second lens;

R 4 is the curvature radius of the image side surface of the second lens;

d 4 is the distance along the optical axis between the image side of the second lens and the object side of the third lens.

2. The image pickup lens as described in claim 1 further satisfying the following condition (6):

0.50 ≦f 3 /f≦ 0.70  (6) where

f is the focal length of the entire lens;

f 3 is the focal length of the third lens.

3. The image pickup lens as described in claim 1 further satisfying the following condition (7):

−0.90 ≦f 4 /f≦ 0.50  (7) where

f is the focal length of the entire lens;

f 4 is the focal length of the fourth lens.

4. The image pickup lens as described in claim 1 further satisfying the following condition (8):

2.00 ≦R 5 /R 6≦4.20  (8) where

R 5 is the curvature radius of the object side surface of the third lens;

R 6 is the curvature radius of the image side surface of the third lens.

5. The image pickup lens as described in claim 1 further satisfying the following condition (9):

2.00 ≦R 7 /R 8≦13.00  (9) where

R 7 is the curvature radius of the object side surface of the fourth lens;

R 8 is the curvature radius of the image side surface of the fourth lens.
