Abstract

The present invention provides a mobile device and an optical imaging lens thereof. The optical imaging lens comprises six lens elements positioned in an order from an object side to an image side along an optical axis. Through controlling the convex or concave shape of the surfaces and/or the refracting power of the lens elements, the optical imaging lens shows better optical characteristics and the total length of the optical imaging lens is shortened.
