Abstract

Present embodiments provide for an optical imaging lens. The optical imaging lens includes a first lens element, a second lens element, a third lens element, a fourth lens element, a fifth lens element, a sixth lens element and seven lens element positioned in an order from an object side to an image side. Through the arrangement of convex or concave surfaces of the seven lens elements, the length of the optical imaging lens may be shortened while providing better optical characteristics and imaging quality.
