Abstract

An optical imaging system includes a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, a seventh lens, and an eighth lens, sequentially arranged from an object side optical imaging system, and a refractive index of at least one of the lenses is 1.67 or greater.

Claims (27)

1. An optical imaging system, comprising:

a first lens having positive refractive power;

a second lens having positive refractive power;

a third lens having positive refractive power;

a fourth lens having a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface;

a fifth lens having a concave object-side surface and a convex image-side surface;

a sixth lens;

a seventh lens; and

an eighth lens,

wherein the first lens to the eighth lens are sequentially arranged from an object side of the optical imaging system,

wherein, among the lenses, an absolute value of a focal length of the eighth lens is the lowest, and

wherein a refractive index of at least one of the lenses is 1.67 or greater.

2. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein FOV>70°, where FOV is a field of view of an imaging system including the first lens to the eighth lens.

3. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein f/EPD<1.9, where f is an overall focal length of an imaging system including the first lens to the eighth lens, and EPD is a diameter of an entrance pupil.

4. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the fourth lens has negative refractive power, the fifth lens has positive refractive power, the sixth lens has negative refractive power, the seventh lens has positive refractive power, and the eighth lens has negative refractive power.

5. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , further comprising a stop disposed between the first lens and the second lens.

6. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the lenses has positive refractive power with a refractive index of 1.67 or greater, and at least one of the lenses has negative refractive power with a refractive index of 1.65 or greater.

7. An optical imaging system, comprising:

a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, a seventh lens, and an eighth lens sequentially arranged from an object side of the optical imaging system,

wherein the first lens has positive refractive power, a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface, the second lens has positive refractive power, the third lens has positive refractive power, the fourth lens has a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface, and the fifth lens has a concave object-side surface and a convex image-side surface,

wherein a refractive index of at least one of the lenses is 1.67 or greater,

wherein, among the lenses, an absolute value of a focal length of the eighth lens is the lowest, and

wherein Fno<1.9, where Fno is an F-number of an imaging system including the first lens to the eighth lens.

8. The optical imaging system of claim 7 , wherein at least one of the lenses has positive refractive power with a refractive index of 1.67 or greater, and at least one of the lenses has negative refractive power with a refractive index of 1.65 or greater.

9. The optical imaging system of claim 7 , wherein FOV>70°, where FOV is a field of view of an imaging system including the first lens to the eighth lens.

10. The optical imaging system of claim 7 , wherein TTL/(2*IMG HT)<0.9, where TTL is an optical axis distance from the object-side surface of the first lens to an image capturing surface of an image sensor, and IMG HT is half of a diagonal length of the image capturing surface of the image sensor.

11. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein at least four of the lenses have positive refractive power.
