Abstract

An optical imaging system includes a first lens group having a first group of lenses. A foremost lens of the first group of lenses is a lens closest to an object side and has a positive refractive power. The optical imaging system also includes a second lens group having a second group of lenses. A rearmost lens of the second group of lenses is a lens closest to an imaging plane and has convex surfaces. The first and second lens groups are sequentially disposed from the object side to an imaging plane. An expression TL/f1<2.0 is satisfied, where TL represents a distance from an object-side surface of the foremost lens to the imaging plane and f1 represents a focal length of the foremost lens.

Claims (36)

1. An optical imaging system, comprising:

a first lens group comprising a first group of lenses, wherein a foremost lens of the first group of lenses is a lens closest to an object side and comprises a positive refractive power; and

a second lens group comprising a second group of lenses, wherein a rearmost lens of the second group of lenses is a lens closest to an imaging plane and comprises convex surfaces,

wherein the first and second lens groups are sequentially disposed from the object side to an imaging plane, and

wherein an expression 0.7<TL/f<1.0 is satisfied, where TL represents a distance from an object-side surface of the foremost lens to the imaging plane and f represents an overall focal length of the optical imaging system.

2. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the object-side surface of the foremost lens is convex.

3. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein a lens disposed adjacently to an image-side surface of the foremost lens comprises a negative refractive power.

4. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the rearmost lens comprises a refractive index higher than 1.6 and lower than 1.75.

5. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein an expression 0.9 millimeters (mm)<d1G2G<1.7 mm is satisfied, where d1G2G represents a distance from an image-side surface of a lens closest to the imaging plane among the lenses of the first lens group to an object-side surface of a lens closest to the object side among the lenses of the second lens group.

6. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein an expression −1.0<f1G/f2G<−0.2 is satisfied, where f1G represents a synthetic focal length of the first lens group and f2G represents a synthetic focal length of the second lens group.

7. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein an expression 0.3<tan θ<0.5 is satisfied, where θ represents half a field of view of the optical imaging system.

8. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the first lens group further comprises:

a first lens comprising a positive refractive power;

a second lens comprising a negative refractive power; and

a third lens comprising a negative refractive power.

9. The optical imaging system of claim 8 , wherein an object-side surface of the third lens is convex.

10. The optical imaging system of claim 8 , wherein the second lens group includes:

a fourth lens comprising a negative refractive power; and

a fifth lens comprising a positive refractive power.

11. The optical imaging system of claim 10 , wherein an object-side surface of the fourth lens is concave.

12. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the first lens group further comprises:

a first lens comprising a positive refractive power;

a second lens comprising a negative refractive power;

a third lens comprising a negative refractive power; and

a fourth lens comprising a positive refractive power.

13. The optical imaging system of claim 12 , wherein the second lens group further comprises:

a fifth lens comprising a negative refractive power; and

a sixth lens comprising a positive refractive power.

14. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein an expression TL/f1<2.0 is satisfied, where f1 represents a focal length of the foremost lens.

15. An optical imaging system, comprising:

a first lens group comprising a first group of lenses, wherein a foremost lens of the first group of lenses is a lens closest to an object side and comprises a positive refractive power; and

a second lens group comprising a second group of lenses, wherein a rearmost lens of the second group of lenses is a lens closest to an imaging plane and comprises convex surfaces,

wherein the first and second lens groups are sequentially disposed from the object side to an imaging plane, and

wherein an expression 0.9 millimeters (mm)<d1G2G<1.7 mm is satisfied, where d1G2G represents a distance from an image-side surface of a lens closest to the imaging plane among the lenses of the first lens group to an object-side surface of a lens closest to the object side among the lenses of the second lens group.

16. The optical imaging system of claim 15 , wherein an expression TL/f1<2.0 is satisfied, where TL represents a distance from an object-side surface of the foremost lens to the imaging plane and f1 represents a focal length of the foremost lens.
