Abstract

There is provided an imaging lens with excellent optical characteristics which satisfies demand of wide field of view, low profile and low F-number. An imaging lens comprises, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens, an aperture stop, a second lens with positive refractive power in a paraxial region, a third lens with negative refractive power in the paraxial region, a fourth lens, a fifth lens with the positive refractive power in the paraxial region, a sixth lens being a double-sided aspheric lens, and a seventh lens with negative refractive power having an image-side surface being concave in the paraxial region and an aspheric surface having at least one pole point in a position off the optical axis.

Claims (17)

1. An imaging lens comprising in order from an object side to an image side,

a first lens,

an aperture stop,

a second lens with positive refractive power in a paraxial region,

a third lens with negative refractive power in the paraxial region,

a fourth lens,

a fifth lens with the positive refractive power in the paraxial region, a sixth lens being a double-sided aspheric lens, and

a seventh lens with negative refractive power having an image-side surface being concave in the paraxial region and an aspheric surface having at least one pole point in a position off the optical axis, wherein the first lens has negative refractive power, the third lens has a convex object-side surface in the paraxial region, and the sixth lens has positive refractive power and a concave image-side surface in the paraxial region.

2. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the first lens is formed in a meniscus shape having a convex object-side surface in the paraxial region.

3. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the fifth lens has a convex image-side surface in the paraxial region.

4. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein an object-side surface of the sixth lens has at least one pole point in a position off the optical axis.

5. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein an object-side surface of the seventh lens is formed as an aspheric surface having at least one pole point in a position off the optical axis.

6. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the following conditional expression (2) is satisfied:

TTL/ih<2.0  (2)

where

TTL: a total track length, and

Ih: a maximum image height.
