Abstract

An optical imaging system including a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, and a sixth lens disposed in order from an object side, wherein one or more of the first to sixth lenses is disposed between a stop and an imaging plane and of those, one or more has positive refractive power and one is made of a glass material, and four or more of the first to sixth lenses are made of a plastic material.

Claims (62)

1. An optical imaging system comprising:

a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, and a sixth lens sequentially disposed in ascending numerical order from an object side of the optical imaging system toward an imaging plane; and
