Abstract

An optical imaging system includes a first lens having a convex image-side surface, a second lens having a convex object-side surface, a third lens having a concave image-side surface, a fourth lens having a concave object-side surface, a fifth lens having a concave image-side surface, a sixth lens having a concave object-side surface, and a seventh lens having refractive power. The first to seventh lenses are sequentially disposed to be spaced apart from each other by an interval in a direction from an object side toward an imaging plane.
