Abstract

There are provided a subminiature optical system having a miniature size and capable of obtaining a narrow view angle using only five sheets of lenses, and a portable device having the same. The subminiature optical system includes a first lens convex toward the object side and having positive refractive power, a second lens concave toward an image side and having negative refractive power, a third lens convex toward the object side and having positive refractive power, a fourth lens concave toward the image plane and having negative refractive power, and a fifth lens convex toward the image plane and having negative or positive refractive power, sequentially from an object side.

Claims (21)

1. An optical system, comprising:

a first lens having positive refractive power and a convex object-side surface;

a second lens having negative refractive power and a concave image-side surface;

a third lens having positive refractive power, a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface;

a fourth lens having refractive power and a concave object-side surface; and

a fifth lens having refractive power,

wherein the first to fifth lenses are sequentially disposed from an object side toward an imaging plane,

wherein the optical system has a total of five lenses,

wherein the optical system satisfies 0.7<TTL/F<1.0, where TTL is a distance from the object-side surface of the first lens to an imaging surface, and F is an overall focal length of the optical system,

wherein the optical system satisfies 0.16<rdy s1/F<2, where rdy s1 is a radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the first lens,

wherein the optical system satisfies 20°<FOV<35°, where FOV is a view angle of the optical system, and

wherein the fifth lens has at least one inflection point formed in a location thereof other than a location corresponding to an optical axis.

2. The optical system of claim 1 , wherein the first lens has a concave image-side surface.

3. The optical system of claim 1 , wherein the second lens has a concave object-side surface.

4. The optical system of claim 1 , wherein the fifth lens has a concave object-side surface.

5. The optical system of claim 1 , wherein the fifth lens has a convex image-side surface.

6. The optical system of claim 1 , wherein the fifth lens has a concave image-side surface.

7. The optical system of claim 1 , wherein the fifth lens has negative refractive power.

8. The optical system of claim 1 , wherein surfaces of the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, and the fifth lens are formed as aspherical surfaces.

9. The optical system of claim 1 , wherein a distance on an optical axis between the image-side surface of the third lens and the object-side surface of the fourth lens is a greatest distance on the optical axis between the lenses.

10. The optical system of claim 1 , wherein the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, and the fifth lens are formed of a plastic material.
