Abstract

There is provided an imaging lens with excellent optical characteristics which satisfies demand of a low profile and a 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 being convex in a paraxial region; a second lens with negative refractive power having an object-side surface being convex in a paraxial region; a third lens with positive refractive power having an image-side surface being concave in a paraxial region; a fourth lens with positive refractive power in a paraxial region; and a fifth lens with negative refractive power having an object-side surface being concave in a paraxial region; and predetermined conditional expressions are satisfied.

Claims (40)

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 being convex in a paraxial region;

a second lens with negative refractive power having an object-side surface being convex in a paraxial region;

a third lens with positive refractive power having an image-side surface being concave in a paraxial region;

a fourth lens with positive refractive power in a paraxial region; and

a fifth lens with negative refractive power having an object-side surface being concave in a paraxial region,

wherein the imaging lens has a total of five single lenses, and

the following conditional expression (1) is satisfied:

9.00<ν d 5<36.00  (1)

where

νd5: an abbe number at d-ray of the fifth lens.

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

9.00<ν d 4<36.00  (2)

where

νd4: an abbe number at d-ray of the fourth lens.

3. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the following conditional expression (3) is satisfied:

−3.00< r 2/ f<− 0.50  (3)

where

r2: a paraxial curvature radius of an image-side surface of the first lens, and

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

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

r 10/ r 3<−6.50  (4)

where

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

r3: a paraxial curvature radius of an object-side surface of the second lens.

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

0.10< r 5/ f< 0.35  (5)

where

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

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

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

r 10/ f<− 2.50  (6)

where

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

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

7. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the following conditional expression (9) is satisfied:

0.05< r 4/ f< 0.30  (9)

where
