Abstract

An optical imaging lens is configured to allow imaging rays to pass through a first curved surface of an optical element and the optical imaging lens in sequence. The optical imaging lens includes first, second and last lens element arranged in a sequence. One of the object-side surface and the image-side surface of the last lens element is a second curved surface. A cross-sectional line of the second curved surface of the last lens element obtained by cutting the second curved surface of the last lens element along a plane parallel to the XZ plane is a second curved line. A material of at least one of the first lens element to the last lens element is a plastic material.
