Abstract

An optical imaging system includes a first lens including a negative refractive power and a convex object-side surface, and a second lens including a convex object-side surface and a convex image-side surface. The optical imaging system also includes a third lens including a negative refractive power and a convex object-side surface, a fourth lens including a convex image-side surface, a fifth lens, and a sixth lens including an inflection point formed on an image-side surface thereof. The first to sixth lenses are sequentially disposed in an optical-axis direction.

Claims (36)

1 . An optical imaging system, comprising:

a first lens comprising negative refractive power;

a second lens comprising a refractive power;

a third lens comprising a convex object-side surface;

a fourth lens comprising a refractive power;

a fifth lens comprising a refractive power; and

a sixth lens comprising negative refractive power and a convex object-side surface,

wherein the first to sixth lenses are sequentially disposed in an optical-axis direction,

wherein an absolute value of a radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the third lens is greater than an absolute value of a radius of curvature of an image-side surface of the second lens,

wherein a thickness along an optical axis of the second lens is greater than a thickness along an optical axis of the sixth lens, and

wherein the sixth lens has an inflection point formed on an object-side surface or an image-side surface of the sixth lens.

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 third lens has a concave image-side surface.

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

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

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

9 . An optical imaging system, comprising:

a first lens comprising a refractive power;

a second lens comprising a refractive power;

a third lens comprising negative refractive power and a convex object-side surface;

a fourth lens comprising a refractive power;

a fifth lens comprising a refractive power; and

a sixth lens comprising negative refractive power,

wherein the first to sixth lenses are sequentially disposed in an optical-axis direction,

wherein an absolute value of a radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the third lens is greater than an absolute value of a radius of curvature of an image-side surface of the second lens,

wherein a thickness along an optical axis of the fourth lens is greater than a thickness along an optical axis of the second lens, and

wherein the sixth lens has an inflection point formed on an object-side surface or an image-side surface of the sixth lens.

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

11 . The optical imaging system of claim 9 , wherein the first lens has a concave image-side surface.

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

13 . The optical imaging system of claim 9 , wherein the third lens has a concave image-side surface.

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

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

16 . The optical imaging system of claim 9 , wherein the sixth lens has a concave image-side surface.
