Abstract

Provided is an imaging lens and a camera module, the device including in an orderly way from an object side, a first lens with positive (+) refractive power; a second lens with negative (−) refractive power; a third lens with negative (−) refractive power; a fourth lens with negative (−) refractive power; and a fifth lens with negative (−) refractive power, wherein the lens is concavely formed at an object side surface.

Claims (29)

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

a first lens with positive (+) refractive power and having a convex surface on the object side thereof;

a second lens with negative (−) refractive power;

a third lens having aspheric faces at both an object side surface and an image side surface;

a fourth lens having a concave surface on the object side thereof; and

a fifth lens with negative (−) refractive power, wherein the fifth lens has a meniscus shape and has a convex surface on the object side thereof.

2. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the third lens has an object side surface that is concave at the optical axis of the imaging lens.

3. The imaging lens according to claim 2 , wherein the third lens has a meniscus shape at the optical axis.

4. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the fifth lens has a meniscus shape at the optical axis of the imaging lens.

5. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the first lens has a meniscus shape at the optical axis of the imaging lens.

6. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the fourth lens and the fifth lens are aspheric at both an object side surface and an image side surface.

7. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein both surfaces of the second lens have a concave surface.

8. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the fifth lens has all aspheric inflection points at the object side surface and an image side surface.

9. The imaging lens according to claim 8 , wherein the fourth lens has a meniscus shape at the optical axis of the imaging lens.

10. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the imaging lens satisfies a condition of 0.5<f1/f<1.5, where an overall focal length of the imaging lens is f, and a focal length of the first lens is f1.

11. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the imaging lens satisfies a condition of 0.5<ΣT/f<1.5, where an overall focal length of the imaging lens is f, and a distance from an object side surface of the first lens to an image-forming surface is ΣT.

12. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the imaging lens satisfies a condition of 1.6<N2<1.7, where a refractive index of the second lens is N2.

13. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the imaging lens satisfies a condition of 20<V2<30, where an Abbe number of the second lens is V2.

14. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein an aperture is positioned at an object side surface of the first lens.

15. A camera module, comprising an imaging lens, a filter, and a light receiving element in order from an object side, wherein the imaging lens comprises in order from an object side of the imaging lens:

a first lens with positive (+) refractive power and having a convex surface on the object side thereof;

a second lens with negative (−) refractive power;

a third lens with refractive power;

a fourth lens with refractive power and having a concave surface on the object side thereof; and

a fifth lens with refractive power and having aspheric inflection points at an object side surface and an image side surface, wherein the fifth lens has a meniscus shape.

16. The camera module according to claim 15 , wherein the imaging lens satisfies a condition of 1.6<N2<1.7, where a refractive index of the second lens is N2.

17. The camera module according to claim 15 , wherein the second lens has a concave image side surface.

18. The camera module according to claim 15 , wherein the fifth lens has a convex object side surface.

19. The camera module according to claim 15 , wherein the third lens has negative refractive power.
