Abstract

An imaging lens ( 100 ). The imaging lens ( 100 ) sequentially consists of, from the object side to the image side: a first lens (L1) having refraction power, the object side surface (S1) of the first lens (L1) being a convex surface at the optic axis; a second lens (L2) having refraction power, the object side surface (S3) of the second lens (L2) being a convex surface at the optic axis; and a third lens (L3) having refraction power. The imaging lens ( 100 ) satisfies the condition that FNO*L>15.5, wherein FNO represents an f-number of the imaging lens ( 100 ), L represents an aperture diameter of the first lens (L1), and the unit of L is mm.

Claims (53)

1. An imaging lens, comprising, successively in order from an object side to an image side:

a first lens having a refractive power, an object side surface of the first lens being convex at an optical axis;

a second lens having a refractive power, an object side surface of the second lens being convex at the optical axis; and

a third lens having a refractive power;

wherein the imaging lens satisfies the following condition:

FNO* L> 15.5;

wherein FNO is an f-number of the imaging lens, L is an aperture diameter of the first lens, and a unit of L is mm;

wherein the imaging lens satisfies the following condition;

4<TTL/Imgh<8;

wherein TTL is a distance from the object side surface of the first lens to an imaging surface of the imaging lens on the optical axis, and Imgh is half of a diagonal length of an image height.

2. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , further comprising a stop and satisfying the following condition:

1<(Σ ET *EPD)/ f <3;

wherein ΣET is a distance from the stop to a portion of an image side surface of the third lens at a maximum effective radius in a direction parallel to the optical axis, EPD is an entrance pupil diameter of the imaging lens, and f is an effective focal length of the imaging lens.

3. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , further satisfying the following condition:

−37 <f |/CT1<22;

wherein f1 is a focal length of the first lens, and CT1 is a thickness of the first lens at the optical axis.

4. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , further satisfying the following condition:

1.0 <TTL/|f |<1.2;

wherein f is an effective focal length of the imaging lens.

5. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , further satisfying the following condition:

0.7 <TTL/|f |<2.7;

11 <BFL <16;

wherein BFL is a shortest distance from an image side surface of the third lens to an imaging surface of the imaging lens in a direction parallel to the optical axis, and a unit of BFL is mm.

10. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , further comprising a stop and satisfying the following condition:

91 <TTL/SL <3450;

wherein TTL is a distance from the object side surface of the first lens to an imaging surface of the imaging lens on the optical axis, and SL is a distance from the stop to a portion of the object side surface of the first lens at a maximum effective radius in a direction parallel to the optical axis.
