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 (42)

1. A lens module comprising:

a first lens having positive refractive power;

a second lens having a refractive power;

a third lens having positive refractive power;

a fourth lens having negative refractive power and a concave image-side surface;

a fifth lens having a concave object-side surface;

a sixth lens having a refractive power; and

a seventh lens having a convex object-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 object-side surface of the fourth lens is greater than a radius of curvature of an object-side surface of the second lens.

2. The lens module of claim 1 , wherein the second lens has negative refractive power.

3. The lens module of claim 1 , wherein the sixth lens has positive refractive power.

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

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

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

7. The lens module of claim 1 , wherein the fifth lens has a convex image-side surface.

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

9. A lens module comprising:

a first lens having positive refractive power;

a second lens having a refractive power;

a third lens having positive refractive power;

a fourth lens having negative refractive power and a concave image-side surface;

a fifth lens having a concave object-side surface;

a sixth lens having a refractive power; and

a seventh lens having a convex object-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.

10. The lens module of claim 9 , wherein an F number of the lens module is 2.2 or less.

11. The lens module of claim 9 , wherein d2/d3<0.2, where d2 is a distance from an image-side surface of the first lens to an object-side surface of the second lens and d3 is a thickness along an optical axis of the second lens.

12. The lens module of claim 9 , wherein V4<30, where V4 is an Abbe number of the fourth lens.

13. The lens module of claim 9 , wherein a radius of curvature of an object-side surface of the fourth lens is greater than a radius of curvature of an object-side surface of the second lens.

14. The lens module of claim 9 , wherein a thickness along an optical axis of the fifth lens is greater than a thickness along an optical axis of the fourth lens.

15. A lens module comprising:

a first lens having positive refractive power;

a second lens having a refractive power;

a third lens having positive refractive power;

a fourth lens having negative refractive power;

a fifth lens having a concave object-side surface and a convex image-side surface;

a sixth lens having a refractive power; and

a seventh lens having a convex object-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 object-side surface of the fourth lens is greater than a radius of curvature of an object-side surface of the second lens.
