Abstract

There are provided a subminiature optical system having a miniature size and capable of obtaining a narrow view angle using only five sheets of lenses, and a portable device having the same. The subminiature optical system includes a first lens convex toward the object side and having positive refractive power. a second lens concave toward an image side and having negative refractive power, a third lens convex toward the object side and having positive refractive power, a fourth lens concave toward the image plane and having negative refractive power, and a fifth lens convex toward the image plane and having negative or positive refractive power, sequentially from an object side.

Claims (38)

1. A subminiature optical system, comprising:

sequentially from an object side,

a first lens having positive refractive power and having a meniscus shape of which an object-side surface is convex;

a second lens having negative refractive power, both surfaces thereof being concave;

a third lens of which an object-side surface is convex and having positive refractive power;

a fourth lens concave toward the image plane and having negative refractive power; and

a fifth lens having negative or positive refractive power, of which an object-side surface is concave,

wherein the fifth lens has at least one inflection point formed in a location thereof other than a location corresponding to an optical axis, and

wherein the optical system satisfies the following Conditional Equation 1,

0.7< TTL/F< 1.0  (Conditional Equation 1)

where TTL indicates a distance from an object side surface of the first lens to the image plane, and F indicates the focal distance of the optical system.

2. The subminiature optical system of claim 1 , wherein a view angle of the optical system satisfies the following Conditional Equation 2,

20< FOV< 35  (Conditional Equation 2)

where FOV indicates the view angle in degrees of the optical system.

3. The subminiature optical system of claim 1 , wherein the first lens of the optical system satisfies the following Conditional Equation 3,

0.16< rdy s 1/ F< 2  (Conditional Equation 3)

where rdy s1 indicates a radius of curvature of the object side surface of the first lens, and F indicates the focal distance of the optical system.

4. The subminiature optical system of claim 1 , wherein an Abbe number of the fourth lens satisfies the following Conditional Equation 4,

Vd 4>50  (Conditional Equation 4)

where Vd4 indicates the Abbe number of the fourth lens.

5. The subminiature optical system of claim 1 , wherein the fourth lens has both surfaces thereof formed to be concave.

6. The subminiature optical system of claim 1 , further comprising an aperture stop disposed on the object side of the first lens.

7. A portable device, comprising:

a first optical system; and

a second optical system having a view angle narrower than that of the first optical system,

wherein the second optical system comprises:

sequentially from an object side,

a first lens having positive refractive power and having a meniscus shape of which an object-side surface is convex;

a second lens having negative refractive power, both surfaces thereof being concave;

a third lens of which an object-side surface is convex and having positive refractive power;

a fourth lens concave toward the image plane and having negative refractive power; and

a fifth lens having negative or positive refractive power, of which an object-side surface is concave,

wherein the fifth lens has at least one inflection point formed in a location thereof other than a location corresponding to an optical axis, and

wherein the second optical system satisfies the following Conditional Equation 1,

0.7< TTL/F< 1.0  (Conditional Equation 1)

where TTL indicates a distance from an object side surface of the first lens to the image plane, and F indicates the focal distance of the second optical system.

8. The portable device of claim 7 , wherein the second optical system has the view angle of 35 degrees or less.

9. The portable device of claim 8 , wherein the first optical system has the view angle of 60 degrees through 80 degrees.
