Abstract

An optical lens assembly includes seven lens elements which are, in order from an object side to an image side along an optical path: a first lens element, a second lens element, a third lens element, a fourth lens element, a fifth lens element, a sixth lens element and a seventh lens element. An object-side surface of the first lens element is concave in a paraxial region thereof. The third lens element has positive refractive power. An object-side surface of the sixth lens element is convex in a paraxial region thereof, and an image-side surface of the sixth lens element is concave in a paraxial region thereof. An image-side surface of the seventh lens element is concave in a paraxial region thereof, and the image-side surface of the seventh lens element has at least one inflection point.
