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 with positive or negative refractive power in a paraxial region, a second lens with positive or negative refractive power in a paraxial region, a third lens with positive refractive power in a paraxial region, a fourth lens with negative refractive power in a paraxial region, a fifth lens with positive refractive power in a paraxial region, a sixth lens with positive refractive power in a paraxial region, and a seventh lens with negative refractive power.

Claims (38)

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

a first lens with positive or negative refractive power in a paraxial region,

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

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

a fourth lens with negative refractive power in a paraxial region,

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

a sixth lens with positive refractive power in a paraxial region, and

a seventh lens with negative refractive power,

wherein an image-side surface of said first lens is convex in the paraxial region, an object-side surface of said second lens is convex in the paraxial region, and an image-side surface of said sixth lens is concave in the paraxial region.

2. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein an object-side surface of said first lens is concave in the paraxial region.

3. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein an object-side surface of said fourth lens is concave in the paraxial region.

4. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein an image-side surface of said fourth lens is convex in the paraxial region.

5. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein an object-side surface of said sixth lens is convex in the paraxial region.

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

0.10<( T 1/TTL)×100<0.45  (1)

where

T1: a distance along the optical axis from an image-side surface of the first lens to an object-side surface of the second lens, and

TTL: a total track length.

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

10.00< T 2/ T 4  (2)

where

T2: a distance along the optical axis from an image-side surface of the second lens to an object-side surface of the third lens, and

T4: a distance along the optical axis from an image-side surface of the fourth lens to an object-side surface of the fifth lens.

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

a first lens with positive or negative refractive power in a paraxial region,

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

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

a fourth lens with negative refractive power in a paraxial region,

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

a sixth lens with positive refractive power in a paraxial region, and

a seventh lens with negative refractive power,

wherein an object-side surface of said first lens is concave in the paraxial region, an image-side surface of said seventh lens is concave in the paraxial region, and the following conditional expression (3) is satisfied:

13.00< vd 6<25.50  (3)

where

vd6: an abbe number at d-ray of the sixth lens.

9. The imaging lens according to claim 8 , wherein an image-side surface of said second lens is concave in a paraxial region.

10. The imaging lens according to claim 8 , wherein an object-side surface of said fourth lens is concave in a paraxial region.

11. The imaging lens according to claim 8 , wherein an image-side surface of said sixth lens is concave in a paraxial region.
