Abstract

An imaging lens system includes a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, and a seventh lens disposed in order from an object side. In the imaging lens system, the first lens has positive refractive power and an object-side surface of the first lens is concave. A field of view of the imaging lens system is 100 degrees or more. In the imaging lens system, a distance TTL from the object-side surface of the first lens to an imaging plane and a height ImgH of the imaging plane satisfy TTL/ImgH<1.5.

Claims (23)

1 . An imaging lens system comprising:

a first lens having a refractive power and a concave object-side surface in a paraxial region thereof;

a second lens having negative refractive power;

a third lens having a refractive power;

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

a fifth lens having negative refractive power;

a sixth lens having positive refractive power; and

a seventh lens having a convex object-side surface in a paraxial region,

wherein the first to seventh lenses are sequentially disposed in order from an object side,

wherein an absolute value of a radius of curvature of an image-side surface of the sixth lens is greater than an absolute value of a radius of curvature of an image-side surface of the first lens,

wherein TTL/ImgH<1.5, where TTL is a distance from an object-side surface of the first lens to an imaging plane and ImgH is a height of the imaging plane,

wherein −2.0<(ImgH/(f*tan (FOV/2))−1)*100<2.0, where f is a focal length of the imaging lens system and FOV is a field of view of the imaging lens system, and

wherein −0.2<f3/f2<−0.04, where f2 is a focal length of the second lens and f3 is a focal length of the third lens.

2 . The imaging lens system of claim 1 , wherein the first lens has positive refractive power.

3 . The imaging lens system of claim 1 , wherein the third lens has positive refractive power.

4 . The imaging lens system of claim 1 , wherein the seventh lens has negative refractive power.

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

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

7 . The imaging lens system of claim 1 , wherein the third lens has a convex image-side surface.

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

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

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

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