Abstract

An optical system, a lens module, and a terminal device are provided. The optical system includes a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, and a sixth lens. The first lens with a positive refractive power has an object-side surface which is convex at an optical axis. The second lens with a negative refractive power has an image-side surface which is concave at the optical axis. The third lens with a negative refractive power has an object-side surface which is convex at the optical axis and an image-side surface which is concave at the optical axis. The fourth lens with a negative refractive power has an image-side surface which is concave at the optical axis. The fifth lens and the sixth lens have the refractive power. The optical system satisfies expression 1<ftLtl4/ftGtl4<1.5.
