Abstract

An optical imaging system includes a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, and a seventh lens sequentially disposed in numerical order along an optical axis of the optical imaging system from an object side of the optical imaging system toward an imaging plane of the optical imaging system, wherein the optical imaging system satisfies 0.5<L12345TRavg/L7TR<0.9, where L12345TRavg is an average value of overall outer diameters of the first to fifth lenses, L7TR is an overall outer diameter of the seventh lens, and L12345TRavg and L7TR are expressed in a same unit of measurement.

Claims (36)

1. An optical imaging system comprising:

a first lens comprising a refractive power;

a second lens comprising a refractive power;

a third lens comprising a convex object-side surface;

a fourth lens comprising negative refractive power;

a fifth lens comprising a refractive power;

a sixth lens comprising a refractive power; and

a seventh lens comprising a refractive power,

wherein the first to seventh lens are sequentially disposed from an object side toward an imaging plane,

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

wherein 0.5<L12345TRavg/L7TR<0.9, where L12345TRavg is an average value of overall outer diameters of the first to fifth lenses, L7TR is an overall outer diameter of the seventh lens, and L12345TRavg and L7TR are expressed in a same unit of measurement.

2. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the first lens has a convex object-side surface.

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

4. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the second lens has a convex object-side surface.

5. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the fourth lens has a concave object-side surface.

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

7. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the sixth lens has a convex object-side surface.

8. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the sixth lens has a concave image-side surface.

9. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the seventh lens has a convex object-side surface.

10. The optical imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the seventh lens has a concave image-side surface.

11. An optical imaging system comprising:

a first lens comprising a refractive power;

a second lens comprising a refractive power;

a third lens comprising a convex object-side surface;

a fourth lens comprising negative refractive power;

a fifth lens comprising a refractive power;

a sixth lens comprising a refractive power; and

a seventh lens comprising a refractive power,

wherein the first to seventh lens are sequentially disposed from an object side toward an imaging plane,

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

wherein 0.5<L12345TRavg/L7TR<0.9, where L12345TRavg is an average value of overall outer diameters of the first to fifth lenses, L7TR is an overall outer diameter of the seventh lens, and L12345TRavg and L7TR are expressed in a same unit of measurement.

12. The optical imaging system of claim 11 , wherein the first lens has a convex object-side surface.

13. The optical imaging system of claim 11 , wherein the second lens has a convex object-side surface.

14. The optical imaging system of claim 11 , wherein the fourth lens has a convex object-side surface.

15. The optical imaging system of claim 11 , wherein the fifth lens has a convex object-side surface.

16. The optical imaging system of claim 11 , wherein the sixth lens has a convex object-side surface.
