Abstract

An image pickup optical system includes in order from an object side, a first lens having a positive refractive power, a second lens having a negative refractive power, a third lens having a positive refractive power, a fourth lens having a positive refractive power, and a fifth lens having a negative refractive power. An aperture stop is disposed nearest to the object side, and the first lens has a biconvex shape. An image-side surface of the third lens has in a peripheral portion, an area of which, a refractive power becomes weaker as compared to a refractive power of a central portion thereof. An object-side optical function surface of the fourth lens has a concave shape, and an object-side surface of the fifth lens has a concave shape.

Claims (40)

1. An image pickup optical system comprising in order from an object side:

a first lens having a positive refractive power;

a second lens having a negative refractive power;

a third lens having a positive refractive power;

a fourth lens having a positive refractive power; and

a fifth lens having a negative refractive power, wherein

the fourth lens is a meniscus lens having a convex surface directed toward an image side, and

an aperture stop is disposed nearest to the object side, and

the following conditional expressions are satisfied:

0.5 <TL /(2 ×IH )<1.5, and

0.4 <Σd L /f <0.55,

where,

TL denotes an overall length of the image pickup optical system,

IH denotes an image height,

Σd L denotes a total thickness of lenses of the image pickup optical system, and

f denotes a focal length of the image pickup optical system.

2. The image pickup optical system according to claim 1 , wherein the following conditional expression is satisfied:

1.5 <f 3 /f< 2.5

where,

f 3 denotes a focal length of the third lens, and

f denotes a focal length of the overall image pickup optical system.

3. The image pickup optical system according to claim 1 , wherein a shape of the third lens is a meniscus shape having a convex surface directed toward the object side.

4. The image pickup optical system according to claim 1 , wherein an image-side surface of the third lens has a shape such that a concave surface is directed toward an image side, near an optical axis, and a shape such that a convex surface is directed toward the image side, at a peripheral portion.

5. The image pickup optical system according to claim 1 , wherein the following conditional expression is satisfied:

2.0 <r 7 /f< 3.0

where,

r 7 denotes a paraxial radius of curvature of an image-side surface of the third lens, and

f denotes a focal length of the overall image pickup optical system.

6. The image pickup optical system according to claim 1 , wherein the following conditional expression is satisfied:

0.05<( r 10 +r 11 )/( r 10 −r 11 )<0.6

where,

r 10 denotes a paraxial radius of curvature of an object-side surface of the fifth lens, and

r 11 denotes a paraxial radius of an image-side surface of the fifth lens.

7. The image pickup optical system according to claim 1 , wherein the aperture stop is positioned at an image side of an object-side vertex of the first lens.

8. The image pickup optical system according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, and the fifth lens are formed of a resin.

9. An image pickup apparatus comprising:

an image pickup optical system according to claim 1 ; and

an image pickup element.

10. The image pickup apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the image pickup optical system and the image pickup element are integrated.

11. The image pickup apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the image pickup optical system is integrated with an auto-focus mechanism.
