Abstract

An optical imaging system includes a first lens having an object-side surface that is convex; a second lens having a refractive power and a refractive index of 1.65 or more; a third lens having a refractive power; a fourth lens having a refractive power and an object-side surface that is convex; a fifth lens having a refractive power; a sixth lens having a positive refractive power; and a seventh lens having an object-side surface that is convex, wherein the first lens through the seventh lens are sequentially disposed in numerical order from an object side of the optical imaging system toward an imaging plane of the optical imaging system, and two or more of the first lens and the third lens through the seventh lens have a refractive index of 1.6 or more.
