Abstract

A lens module includes first to seventh lenses each having refractive power and sequentially disposed in numerical order from the first lens to the seventh lens starting from an object side of the lens module, wherein each of the first and second lenses has a meniscus shape and an image-side surface that is convex, and the seventh lens has one or more inflection points on an image-side surface thereof.

Claims (22)

1. A lens module comprising:

a first lens having positive refractive power;

a second lens having negative refractive power;

a third lens having a refractive power;

a fourth lens having a convex object-side surface;

a fifth lens having a refractive power;

a sixth lens having positive refractive power; and

a seventh lens having a concave image-side surface and an inflection point formed on the image-side surface,

wherein the first to seventh lenses are sequentially disposed in numerical order from an object side of the lens module,

wherein a radius of curvature of an image-side surface of the sixth lens is greater than a radius of curvature of an object-side surface of the sixth lens, and

wherein a distance from an image-side surface of the fourth lens to an object-side surface of the fifth lens is greater than a distance from an image-side surface of the second lens to an object-side surface of the third lens.

2. The lens module of claim 1 , wherein the third lens has a convex object-side surface.

3. The lens module of claim 1 , wherein the fourth lens has a concave image-side surface.

4. The lens module of claim 1 , wherein at least five of the first to seventh lenses are made of plastic.

5. The lens module of claim 1 , wherein 80°<FOV is satisfied,

where FOV is a field of view of an optical system comprising the first to seventh lenses.

6. The lens module of claim 1 , wherein

the third lens has a convex

image-side surface.

7. The lens module of claim 1 , wherein the third lens has positive refractive power.

8. The lens module of claim 1 , wherein the fourth lens has negative refractive power.

9. The lens module of claim 1 , wherein the seventh lens has negative refractive power.
