Abstract

A lens including 6˜11 lenses with a refractive power is provided. A spherical lens and an aspheric lens are disposed between the aperture and the image plane of the lens assembly. At least two lenses are disposed between the aperture and the object side of the lens assembly. EFL is the effective focal length of the lens. LT is the length on the optical axis of the lens from the lens surface farthest from the image plane of the lens assembly to the lens surface closest to the image plane of the lens assembly. The lens assembly satisfies the following conditions: 3 mm<EFL<5 mm, 0.1<EFULT<0.25.

Claims (19)
