Abstract

An imaging lens system is provided. The imaging lens system includes a first lens having refractive power; a second lens having positive refractive power and having a concave image-side surface; a third lens having refractive power; a fourth lens having positive refractive power and having a concave image-side surface; a fifth lens having a concave object-side surface; a sixth lens having a concave image-side surface; a seventh lens having a convex object-side surface; and an eighth lens having refractive power, wherein the first to eighth lenses are sequentially arranged from an object-side to an imaging side, and the imaging lens system satisfies the following conditional expression: 0.15<BFL/TTL, where BFL is a distance from an image-side surface of the eighth lens to an imaging plane, and TTL is a distance from an object-side surface of the first lens to the imaging plane.

Claims (59)

1 . An imaging lens system, comprising:

a first lens having a refractive power;

a second lens having positive refractive power, and having a concave image-side surface;

a third lens having a refractive power;

a fourth lens having positive refractive power, and having a concave image-side surface;

a fifth lens having a concave object-side surface;

a sixth lens having a concave image-side surface;

a seventh lens having a convex object-side surface; and

an eighth lens having a refractive power,

wherein the first to eighth lenses are sequentially arranged from an object-side to an imaging side, and

the imaging lens system satisfies the following conditional expression:

0.15< BFL/TTL,

where BFL is a distance from an image-side surface of the eighth lens to an imaging plane, and TTL is a distance from an object-side surface of the first lens to the imaging plane.

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

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

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

5 . The imaging lens system of claim 1 , which satisfies the following conditional expression:

0< f 1/ f< 8.0,

where f is a focal length of the imaging lens system, and f 1 is a focal length of the first lens.

6 . The imaging lens system of claim 1 , which satisfies the following conditional expression:

0< f 2/ f< 3.0,

where f is a focal length of the imaging lens system, and f 2 is a focal length of the second lens.

7 . The imaging lens system of claim 1 , which satisfies the following conditional expression:

TTL/f< 1.5,

where f is a focal length of the imaging lens system.

8 . The imaging lens system of claim 1 , which satisfies the following conditional expression:

BFL/f< 0.4,

where f is a focal length of the imaging lens system.

9 . The imaging lens system of claim 1 , which satisfies the following conditional expression:

an eighth lens having a refractive power, and a convex object-side surface in a paraxial region,

wherein the first to eighth lenses are sequentially arranged from an object-side to an imaging side, and

the imaging lens system satisfies the following conditional expression:

0.2< BFL/TTL< 0.35,

where BFL is a distance from an image-side surface of the eighth lens to an imaging plane, and TTL is a distance from an object-side surface of the first lens to the imaging plane.

11 . The imaging lens system of claim 10 , wherein the third lens has negative refractive power.

12 . The imaging lens system of claim 10 , wherein the eighth lens has negative refractive power.

13 . The imaging lens system of claim 10 , which satisfies the following conditional expression:

0.02< BFL/f 1<0.16,

where f1 is a focal length of the first lens.
