Abstract

An imaging lens substantially consists of five lenses consisting of, in order from the object side: a first lens having a positive refractive power with a convex surface toward the object side; a second lens having a negative refractive power and having a meniscus shape with a convex surface toward the image side; a third lens having a positive refractive power and having a meniscus shape with a convex surface toward the image side; a fourth lens having a positive refractive power and having a meniscus shape with a convex surface toward the image side; and a fifth lens having a negative refractive power, wherein an image-side surface of the fifth lens includes a concave surface and at least one inflection point, wherein a predetermined conditional expression is satisfied.

Claims (56)

1. An imaging lens consisting of five lenses consisting of, in order from an object side:

a first lens having a positive refractive power with a convex surface toward the object side;

a second lens having a negative refractive power and having a meniscus shape with a convex surface toward the image side in the vicinity of the optical axis;

a third lens having a positive refractive power and having a meniscus shape with a convex surface toward the image side;

a fourth lens having a positive refractive power and having a meniscus shape with a convex surface toward the image side; and

a fifth lens having a negative refractive power, wherein an image-side surface of the fifth lens includes a concave surface and at least one inflection point,

wherein the conditional expression below is satisfied:

1.15< f/f 1<1.7  (1),

where f is a focal length of the entire system, and f1 is a focal length of the first lens.

2. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the conditional expression below is further satisfied:

−1.48< f/f 45<0  (2),

where f45 is a combined focal length of the fourth lens and the fifth lens.

3. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the conditional expression below is further satisfied:

−1.25< f/f 45<0  (2-1),

where f45 is a combined focal length of the fourth lens and the fifth lens.

4. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the conditional expression below is further satisfied:

−1.1< f/f 45<−0.05  (2-2),

where f45 is a combined focal length of the fourth lens and the fifth lens.

5. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the conditional expression below is further satisfied:

−1.5< f 12/ f 45<0  (3),

where f12 is a combined focal length of the first lens and the second lens, and f45 is a combined focal length of the fourth lens and the fifth lens.

6. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the conditional expression below is further satisfied:

−1.45< f 12/ f 45<−0.05  (3-1),

where f12 is a combined focal length of the first lens and the second lens, and f45 is a combined focal length of the fourth lens and the fifth lens.

7. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the conditional expression below is further satisfied:

−0.3< f/f 345<0.35  (4),

where f345 is a combined focal length of the third to the fifth lenses.

8. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the conditional expression below is further satisfied:

−0.29< f/f 345<0.2  (4-1),

where f345 is a combined focal length of the third to the fifth lenses.

9. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the conditional expression below is further satisfied:

−0.95< f/f 2<−0.65  (5),

where f2 is a focal length of the second lens.

10. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the conditional expression below is further satisfied:

−0.9< f/f 2<−0.68  (5-1),

where f2 is a focal length of the second lens.

11. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first lens has a meniscus shape.

12. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an aperture stop disposed on the object side of the object-side surface of the second lens.

13. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fifth lens has a biconcave shape.

14. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the conditional expression below is further satisfied:

0.05< f/f 3<0.95  (6),

where f3 is a focal length of the third lens.

15. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the conditional expression below is further satisfied:

0.06< f/f 3<0.9  (6-1),

where f3 is a focal length of the third lens.

16. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the conditional expression below is further satisfied:

0.48< f/f 4<1.57  (7),

where f4 is a focal length of the fourth lens.

17. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the conditional expression below is further satisfied:

0.5< f/f 4<1.56  (7-1),

where f4 is a focal length of the fourth lens.

18. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the conditional expression below is further satisfied:

1.22< f/f 1<1.6  (1-1).

19. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 18 , wherein the conditional expression below is further satisfied:

1.25< f/f 1<1.55  (1-2).

20. An imaging device comprising the imaging lens as claimed in claim 1 .
