Abstract

Present embodiments relate to an optical imaging lens. The optical imaging lens may include a first lens element, a second lens element, a third lens element, a fourth lens element, and a fifth lens element positioned sequentially from an object side to an image side. Through arrangement of convex or concave surfaces of the five lens elements, the length of the optical imaging lens may be shortened while providing improved optical characteristics and imaging quality.
