Abstract

There is provided an imaging lens with excellent optical characteristics while satisfying demand of low-profileness and low F-number. An imaging lens comprises, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens with positive refractive power formed in a biconvex shape having an object-side surface and an image-side surface being convex in a paraxial region, a second lens with negative refractive power in a paraxial region, a third lens with the negative refractive power in a paraxial region, a fourth lens with the negative refractive power in a paraxial region, and a fifth lens with the positive refractive power having an image-side surface being convex in a paraxial region, and predetermined conditional expressions are satisfied.

Claims (49)

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

a first lens with positive refractive power formed in a biconvex shape having an object-side surface and an image-side surface being convex in a paraxial region,

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

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

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

a fifth lens with the positive refractive power having an image-side surface being convex in a paraxial region,

wherein the following conditional expressions (1), (2), and (3) are satisfied:

10.00< vd 2<30.00  (1)

0.10<| r 5|/ f< 0.90  (2)

20.50< T 3/ T 4<49.00  (3)

where

vd2: an abbe number at d-ray of the second lens,

r5: a paraxial curvature radius of an object-side surface of the third lens,

f: a focal length of the overall optical system of the imaging lens,

T3: a distance along an optical axis from an image-side surface of the third lens to an object-side surface of the fourth lens, and

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

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

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

4. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the following conditional expression (4) is satisfied:

2.00< r 8/ f< 35.00  (4)

where

r8: a paraxial curvature radius of an image-side surface of the fourth lens, and

f: a focal length of the overall optical system of the imaging lens.

5. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the following conditional expression (5) is satisfied:

−1.40< r 10/ f 5<−0.40  (5)

where

r10: a paraxial curvature radius of an image-side surface of the fifth lens, and

f5: a focal length of the fifth lens.

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

−20.00< f 2/ T 2<−5.50  (6)

where

f2: a focal length of the second lens, and

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

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

a first lens with positive refractive power formed in a biconvex shape having an object-side

surface and an image-side surface being convex in a paraxial region,

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

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

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

a fifth lens with the positive refractive power having an image-side surface being convex in a paraxial region,

wherein the following conditional expressions (1), (2) and (4) are satisfied:

10.00< vd 2<30.00  (1)

0.10| r 5|/ f< 0.90  (2)

2.00< r 8/ f< 35.00  (4)

where

vd2: an abbe number at d-ray of the second lens,

r5: a paraxial curvature radius of an object-side surface of the third lens,

r8: a paraxial curvature radius of an image-side surface of the fourth lens, and

f: a focal length of the overall optical system of the imaging lens.
