Abstract

Provided is an imaging lens and a camera module, the device including in an orderly way from an object side, a first lens with positive (+) refractive power; a second lens with negative (−) refractive power; a third lens with negative (−) refractive power; a fourth lens with negative (−) refractive power; and a fifth lens with negative (−) refractive power, wherein the lens is concavely formed at an object side surface.

Claims (31)

1. An imaging lens comprising: in order from an object side of the imaging lens:

a first lens of a positive lens having a convex surface on the object side thereof;

a second lens of a negative lens having a concave surface on the image side thereof;

a third lens having aspheric faces at both an object side surface and an image side surface;

a fourth lens in a meniscus shape having a concave surface on the object side thereof; and

a fifth lens of a negative lens in a meniscus shape,

wherein the third lens has an object-side surface that is concave at the optical axis.

2. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the third lens has a meniscus shape at the optical axis.

3. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the fifth lens has a meniscus shape at the optical axis and a convex surface on the object side thereof.

4. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the first lens has a meniscus shape at the optical axis.

5. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the fourth lens and the fifth lens are aspheric at both an object side surface and an image side surface.

6. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein both surfaces of the second lens have a concave surface.

7. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the fourth lens has a meniscus shape at the optical axis.

8. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the fifth lens has all aspheric inflection points at the object side surface and an image side surface.

9. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the imaging lens satisfies a condition of 0.5<f1/f<1.5, where an overall focal length of the imaging lens is f, and a focal length of the first lens is f1.

10. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the imaging lens satisfies a condition of 0.5<ΣT/f<1.5, where an overall focal length of the imaging lens is f, and a distance from an object side surface of the first lens to an image-forming surface is ΣT.

11. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the imaging lens satisfies a condition of 1.6<N2<1.7, where a refractive index of the second lens is N2.

12. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the imaging lens satisfies a condition of 20<V2<30, where an Abbe number of the second lens is V2.

13. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein an aperture is positioned at an object side surface of the first lens.

14. A camera module, comprising an imaging lens, a filter and a light receiving element in order from an object side, wherein the imaging lens comprises in order from an object side of the imaging lens:

a first lens of a positive lens having a convex surface on the object side thereof;

a second lens of a negative lens having a concave surface on the image side thereof;

a third lens with negative refractive power;

a fourth lens with refractive power; and

a fifth lens with refractive power and having aspheric inflection points at an object side surface and an image side surface,

wherein the following conditional expression is satisfied:

f1<|f2|<|f3|, wherein f1 is a focal length of the first lens, f2 is a focal length of the second lens, and f3 is a focal length of the third lens.

15. The camera module according to claim 14 , wherein the imaging lens satisfies a condition of 1.6<N2<1.7, where a refractive index of the second lens is N2.

16. The camera module according to claim 14 , wherein the second lens has a concave image side surface.
