Abstract

An optical imaging system includes a first lens having a positive refractive power and a concave object-side surface, a second lens having a positive refractive power, a third lens having a negative refractive power, a fourth lens having a positive refractive power, and a fifth lens having a positive refractive power and a concave image-side surface. The first through fifth lenses are sequentially disposed in ascending numerical order from an object side of the optical imaging system toward an imaging plane of the optical imaging system.

Claims (31)

1. An optical imaging system comprising:

a first lens having a positive refractive power;

a second lens having a concave image-side surface in an optical axis region;

a third lens having a concave object-side surface in an optical axis region and a concave image-side surface in an optical axis region;

a fourth lens having a positive refractive power; and

a fifth lens having a refractive power,

wherein the first to fifth lenses are sequentially disposed in ascending numerical order along an optical axis from an object side of the optical imaging system toward an imaging plane of the optical imaging system,

wherein a radius of curvature of an image-side surface of the fourth lens is greater than a radius of curvature of an object-side surface of the fourth lens,

wherein a thickness along an optical axis of the first lens is greater than a thickness along an optical axis of the fifth lens, and

wherein 5.0<(t1+t2)/t3<12.0, where t1 is the thickness along the optical axis of the first lens, t2 is a thickness along the optical axis of the second lens, and t3 is a thickness along the optical axis of the third lens.

2. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the first lens has a convex image-side surface in an optical axis region thereof.

3. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the second lens has a convex object-side surface in an optical axis region thereof.

4. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the fourth lens has a concave object-side surface in an optical axis region thereof.

5. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the fourth lens has a convex image-side surface in an optical axis region thereof.

6. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the fifth lens has a convex object-side surface in an optical axis region thereof.

7. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the fifth lens has a concave image-side surface in an optical axis region thereof.

8. An optical imaging system comprising:

a first lens having a positive refractive power;

a second lens having a concave image-side surface in an optical axis region;

a third lens having a concave object-side surface in an optical axis region;

a fourth lens having a positive refractive power; and

a fifth lens having a refractive power,

wherein the first to fifth lenses are sequentially disposed in ascending numerical order along an optical axis from an object side of the optical imaging system toward an imaging plane of the optical imaging system,

wherein a radius of curvature of an image-side surface of the first lens is greater than a radius of curvature of an object-side surface of the first lens and less than a radius of curvature of an object-side surface of the second lens,

wherein a radius of curvature of an image-side surface of the fourth lens is greater than a radius of curvature of an object-side surface of the fourth lens,

wherein a thickness along an optical axis of the first lens is greater than a thickness along an optical axis of the fifth lens, and

wherein 5.0<(t1+t2)/t3<12.0, where t1 is the thickness along the optical axis of the first lens, t2 is a thickness along the optical axis of the second lens, and t3 is a thickness along the optical axis of the third lens.

9. The optical imaging system of claim 8 , wherein the second lens has a convex object-side surface in an optical axis region thereof.

10. The optical imaging system of claim 8 , wherein the fourth lens has a concave object-side surface in an optical axis region thereof.

11. The optical imaging system of claim 8 , wherein the fourth lens has a convex image-side surface in an optical axis region thereof.

12. The optical imaging system of claim 8 , wherein the fifth lens has a concave image-side surface in an optical axis region thereof.
