Abstract

An optical imaging system includes a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, a seventh lens, and an eighth lens, which are sequentially arranged from an object side optical imaging system. The first lens has positive refractive power and the second lens has positive refractive power. At least one of the lenses has negative refractive power with a refractive index greater than 1.68.

Claims (30)

1. An optical imaging system comprising:

a first lens, a second lens, a third lens having negative refractive power, a fourth lens having positive refractive power and comprising a convex image-side surface in a paraxial region thereof, a fifth lens having negative refractive power, a sixth lens having positive refractive power, a seventh lens, and an eighth lens, which are sequentially arranged from an object side optical imaging system,

wherein the first lens has positive refractive power and the second lens has positive refractive power, and

wherein at least three of the lenses have negative refractive power with a refractive index greater than 1.66.

2. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein a refractive index of lenses having negative refractive power, among the first lens to the seventh lens, is greater than a refractive index of lenses having positive refractive power.

3. The optical imaging system of claim 2 , wherein the third lens has a refractive index greater than 1.68, and

among the lenses, the refractive index of the third lens is the greatest.

4. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein FOV>70°, where FOV is a field of view of an imaging system including the lenses.

5. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein f/EPD<1.5, where f is an overall focal length of an imaging system including the lenses, and EPD is a diameter of an entrance pupil.

6. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , further comprising a stop disposed between the first lens and the second lens.

7. The optical imaging system of claim 6 , wherein SD/TD>0.8, where SD is an optical axis distance from the stop to an image-side surface of the eighth lens, and TD is an optical axis distance from an object-side surface of the first lens to the image-side surface of the eighth lens.

8. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein TTL/(2*IMG HT)<0.9, where TTL is an optical axis distance from an object-side surface of the first lens to an image capturing surface of an image sensor, and IMG HT is half of a diagonal length of the image capturing surface of the image sensor.

9. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the seventh lens has positive or negative refractive power, and the eighth lens has negative refractive power.

10. An optical imaging system, comprising:

a first lens, a second lens, a third lens having negative refractive power, a fourth lens having positive refractive power and comprising a convex image-side surface in a paraxial region thereof, a fifth lens having negative refractive power, a sixth lens having positive refractive power, a seventh lens, and an eighth lens, which are sequentially arranged from an object side optical imaging system,

wherein the first lens has positive refractive power and the second lens has positive refractive power,

wherein at least four lenses among the third lens to the eighth lens have negative refractive power, and

wherein at least three of the lenses have negative refractive power with a refractive index greater than 1.66.

11. The optical imaging system of claim 10 , wherein Fno<1.5, where Fno is an F-number of an imaging system including the lenses.

12. The optical imaging system of claim 10 , wherein an absolute value of a focal length of the seventh lens is the greatest among the lenses.

13. The optical imaging system of claim 10 , wherein an absolute value of a focal length of the eighth lens is the least among the lenses.

14. The optical imaging system of claim 10 , wherein each of the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, the fifth lens, the sixth lens, the seventh lens, and the eighth lens are spaced apart from each other along an optical axis of the optical imaging system.

15. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein each of the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, the fifth lens, the sixth lens, the seventh lens, and the eighth lens are spaced apart from each other along an optical axis of the optical imaging system.

16. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the optical imaging system comprises a total of eight lenses.

17. An optical imaging system, comprising:

a first lens, a second lens, a third lens having negative refractive power, a fourth lens having positive refractive power and comprising a convex image-side surface in a paraxial region thereof, a fifth lens having negative refractive power, a sixth lens having positive refractive power, a seventh lens, and an eighth lens, which are sequentially arranged from an object side optical imaging system,

wherein the first lens has positive refractive power and the second lens has positive refractive power,

wherein at least four lenses among the third lens to the eighth lens have negative refractive power,

wherein a refractive index of at least one of the lenses having negative refractive power is greater than 1.68, and

wherein Fno<1.5, where Fno is an F-number of an imaging system including the lenses.
