Abstract

A miniaturized lens assembly includes a first lens, a stop, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens and a fifth lens, all of which are arranged in sequence from an object side to an image side along an optical axis. The first lens is made of plastic material, is a meniscus lens with negative refractive power, and includes a convex surface facing the object side. The second lens is made of plastic material and is a biconvex lens with positive refractive power. The third lens is made of glass material and is a biconvex lens with positive refractive power. The fourth lens is made of glass material, is a biconcave lens with negative refractive power, and is adhered to the third lens to form a compound lens. The fifth lens is made of plastic material, is provided with positive refractive power, and includes an aspheric surface.

Claims (20)

1. A miniaturized lens assembly comprises a first lens, a stop, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens and a fifth lens, all of which are arranged in sequence from an object side to an image side along an optical axis, wherein:

the first lens is made of plastic material, is a meniscus lens with negative refractive power, and comprises a convex surface facing the object side;

the second lens is made of plastic material and is a biconvex lens with positive refractive power;

the third lens is made of glass material and is a biconvex lens with positive refractive power;

the fourth lens is made of glass material, is a biconcave lens with negative refractive power, and is adhered to the third lens to form a compound lens; and

the fifth lens is made of plastic material, is provided with positive refractive power, and comprises an aspheric surface.

2. The miniaturized lens assembly as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a color filter disposed between the fifth lens and the image side, wherein the color filter is a piece of flat glass.

3. The miniaturized lens assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first lens further comprises a concave surface, and at least one of the convex surface and the concave surface is an aspheric surface.

4. The miniaturized lens assembly as claimed in claim 3 , wherein both the convex surface and the concave surface are aspheric surfaces.

5. The miniaturized lens assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second lens comprises two convex surfaces, at least one of which is an aspheric surface.

6. The miniaturized lens assembly as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the two convex surfaces of the second lens are aspheric surfaces.

7. A miniaturized lens assembly comprises a first lens, a stop, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens and a fifth lens, all of which are arranged in sequence from an object side to an image side along an optical axis, wherein:

the first lens is made of plastic material, is a meniscus lens with negative refractive power, and comprises a convex surface facing the object side;

the second lens is made of plastic material and is a biconvex lens with positive refractive power;

the third lens is made of glass material and is a biconvex lens with positive refractive power;

the fourth lens is made of glass material, is a biconcave lens with negative refractive power, and is adhered to the third lens to form a compound lens;

the fifth lens is made of plastic material, is a meniscus lens with positive refractive power, and comprises a concave surface and a convex surface;

the convex surface of the fifth lens faces the object side; and

at least one of the concave surface and the convex surface of the fifth lens is an aspheric surface.

8. The miniaturized lens assembly as claimed in claim 7 , wherein both the convex surface and the concave surface of the fifth lens are aspheric surfaces.
