Abstract

An optical lens assembly includes five lens elements and provides a TTL/EFL<1.0. In an embodiment, the focal length of the first lens element f1<TTL/2, an air gap between first and second lens elements is smaller than half the second lens element thickness, an air gap between the third and fourth lens elements is greater than TTL/5 and an air gap between the fourth and fifth lens elements is smaller than about 1.5 times the fifth lens element thickness. All lens elements may be aspheric.

Claims (5)

1. A lens assembly, comprising: a plurality of refractive lens elements arranged along an optical axis with a first lens element on an object side, wherein at least one surface of at least one of the plurality of lens elements is aspheric, wherein the lens assembly has an effective focal length (EFL), a total track length (TTL) of 6.5 millimeters or less, a ratio TTL/EFL of less than 1.0, a F number smaller than 3.2 and a ratio between a largest optical axis thickness L11 and a circumferential edge thickness L1e of the first lens element of L11/L1e<4.

2. The lens assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio L11/L1e<3.5.

3. The lens assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio L11/L1e<3.2.

4. The lens assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio L11/L1e<3.1.

5. The lens assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio L11/L1e<3.0.
