Abstract

A lens module may include a first lens having positive refractive power; a second lens having positive refractive power; a third lens having negative refractive power; a fourth lens having refractive power; a fifth lens having refractive power; a sixth lens having negative refractive power; and a seventh lens having refractive power and one or more inflection points formed in locations thereof not crossing an optical axis, wherein the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, the fifth lens, the sixth lens and the seventh lens are disposed in a sequential order from the first lens to the seventh lens.

Claims (28)

1. A lens module comprising:

a first lens having positive refractive power;

a second lens having positive refractive power;

a third lens having negative refractive power;

a fourth lens having refractive power;

a fifth lens having refractive power;

a sixth lens having positive refractive power, and a convex image-side surface in an optical axis; and

a seventh lens having refractive power of which an object-side surface is convex and one or more inflection points formed in locations thereof not crossing an optical axis,

wherein the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, the fifth lens, the sixth lens and the seventh lens are disposed in a sequential order from the first lens to the seventh lens.

2. The lens module of claim 1 , wherein the fourth lens has negative refractive power.

3. The lens module of claim 1 , wherein the seventh lens has negative refractive power.

4. The lens module of claim 1 , wherein an object-side surface of the first lens is convex, and an image-side surface thereof is concave.

5. The lens module of claim 1 , wherein both surfaces of the second lens are convex.

6. The lens module of claim 1 , wherein an image-side surface of the third lens is concave.

7. The lens module of claim 1 , wherein an object-side surface of the sixth lens is concave, and an image-side surface thereof is convex.

8. The lens module of claim 1 , wherein an image-side surface thereof is concave.

9. The lens module of claim 1 , wherein it satisfies the following Conditional Equation:

V 1− V 3>20  [Conditional Equation]

where V1 is an Abbe number of the first lens, and V3 is an Abbe number of the third lens.

10. The lens module of claim 1 , wherein it satisfies the following Conditional Equation:

V 2− V 3>20  [Conditional Equation]

where V2 is an Abbe number of the second lens, and V3 is an Abbe number of the third lens.

11. The lens module of claim 1 , wherein it satisfies the following Conditional Equation:

f 1> f 2  [Conditional Equation]

where f1 is a focal length of the first lens, and f2 is a focal length of the second lens.

12. The lens module of claim 1 , wherein it satisfies the following Conditional Equation:

D 12> D 23  [Conditional Equation]

where D 12 is a distance from an image-side surface of the first lens to an object-side surface of the second lens, and D 23 is a distance from an image-side surface of the second lens to an object-side surface of the third lens.
