Abstract

An image capturing lens assembly includes, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens element, a second lens element, a third lens element, a fourth lens element and a fifth lens element. The first lens element with positive refractive power has a convex object-side surface. The second lens element has refractive power. The third lens element has refractive power, and an object-side surface and an image-side surface thereof being aspheric. The fourth lens element has negative refractive power, and an object-side surface and an image-side surface thereof are aspheric. The fifth lens element with negative refractive power has a concave object-side surface, and the object-side surface and an image-side surface thereof are aspheric.
