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 disposed in sequence to be spaced apart from an object side. The second lens, the fourth lens, and the fifth lens have a refractive index of 1.6 or more, and the optical imaging system satisfies the following conditional expression: OAL/2IMH<0.6, where OAL is a distance from an object-side surface of the first lens to an image plane, and 2IMH is a diagonal length of the image plane.
