  Conditional expression (1) defines the Abbe number of the first lens. When the lower limit of conditional expression (1) is exceeded, the difference in dispersion value with the second lens is reduced, and correction of chromatic aberration is insufficient. On the other hand, when the upper limit is exceeded, the balance between axial chromatic aberration and lateral chromatic aberration is deteriorated, resulting in performance deterioration at the periphery of the screen.

However,
f: Composite focal length of the entire imaging lens f1: Focal length of the first lens f2: Focal length of the second lens

  Conditional expression (3) defines the focal length range of the first lens with respect to the focal length of the entire system. When the lower limit of conditional expression (3) is exceeded, the focal length of the first lens becomes too short, making it difficult to correct spherical aberration and coma. On the other hand, when the upper limit is exceeded, the optical length becomes too long, which is contrary to the thinning of the imaging lens that is the object of this patent.

The imaging lens for a solid-state imaging device according to claim 9, wherein the second lens, the third lens, and the fourth lens satisfy the following conditional expression (8).
0.0 <f2 · 3 · 4 (8)
However,
f2, 3 and 4: Composite focal length of the second lens, the third lens and the fourth lens

  Conditional expression (8) defines the combined focal length of the second lens, the third lens, and the fourth lens.

On the contrary, when the upper limit is exceeded, the power of the third lens becomes too strong, and it becomes difficult to ensure off-axis performance.

  Here, although the third lens has the weakest power, the aspherical surfaces on the front and rear surfaces work effectively to alleviate the aberration generated in the second lens.

When the lower limit of conditional expression (13) is exceeded, the power of the fourth lens becomes too weak, making it difficult to correct various aberrations, resulting in performance degradation. On the other hand, when the upper limit is exceeded, the power of the fourth lens becomes too strong or the lens has a low meniscus degree. In this case, it becomes difficult to maintain the aberration balance, and desired performance cannot be obtained.

When the lower limit of conditional expression (15) is exceeded, Fno becomes too large and often does not satisfy the required brightness. On the other hand, when the upper limit is exceeded, Fno becomes too small, or the distance between the stop (Fno light flux regulating plate) and the first lens front becomes too large, and in either case, desired optical performance cannot be obtained.

  According to the present invention, an image sensor with high resolution can be obtained by providing a five-lens configuration including the first lens to the fifth lens and giving the third lens a role that is not in the conventional four-lens configuration. A high-performance lens in which various aberrations are well corrected so as to cope with an increase in size and a high-definition pixel can be provided at a low cost with a compact configuration.

  As shown in Table 7, Examples 1 to 6 of the present invention satisfy all the conditions of the conditional expressions (1) to (17), and the Abbe numbers of the first lens L1 and the second lens L2 are set as follows. Regarding the conditional expressions (1) and (2) to be specified, if the lower limit of the conditional expressions (1) and (2) is exceeded, the difference in the dispersion value with the second lens L2 becomes small, and the correction of chromatic aberration becomes insufficient. On the contrary, when the upper limit is exceeded, the balance between the axial chromatic aberration and the lateral chromatic aberration is deteriorated and the performance is deteriorated at the peripheral portion of the screen. However, if the conditional expressions (1) and (2) are satisfied, The balance of off-axis chromatic aberration is also good, performance deterioration at the periphery of the screen can be prevented, and chromatic aberration correction is good.

  Further, regarding conditional expressions (3) and (4) that define the focal length range of the first lens L1 and the second lens L2 with respect to the focal length of the entire system, if the lower limit of the conditional expression (3) is exceeded, The focal length of one lens L1 becomes too short, and it becomes difficult to correct spherical aberration and coma. Conversely, when the upper limit is exceeded, the optical length becomes too long, making it difficult to reduce the thickness of the imaging lens. When the lower limit of conditional expression (4) is exceeded, the power of the second lens L2 will be insufficient. If the correction of chromatic aberration is insufficient and the upper limit is exceeded, the focal length of the second lens L2 becomes too short, making it difficult to correct spherical aberration and coma, and the error sensitivity during production becomes severe. However, when the conditional expressions (3) and (4) are satisfied, the spherical aberration and the coma aberration are corrected well, the power of the second lens L2 is sufficient, the chromatic aberration is corrected, and the spherical surface is corrected. Correction of aberrations and coma is also good.

  Regarding conditional expression (5) that defines the focal length range of the fourth lens L4 with respect to the focal length of the entire system, when the lower limit of conditional expression (5) is exceeded, the focal length of the fourth lens L4 becomes too short, Correction of astigmatism and coma becomes difficult, and error sensitivity at the time of manufacture becomes severe. Conversely, when the upper limit is exceeded, lateral chromatic aberration and astigmatism are insufficiently corrected, and desired performance cannot be obtained. When the conditional expression (5) is satisfied, astigmatism and coma can be easily corrected, lateral chromatic aberration and astigmatism can be easily corrected, and desired performance can be obtained.

  Regarding conditional expression (6) that defines the focal length range of the fifth lens L5 with respect to the focal length of the entire system, if the lower limit of conditional expression (6) is exceeded, the power of the fifth lens L5 will be insufficient. However, when the optical length is difficult to be shortened, and the upper limit is exceeded, it is difficult to make the CRA at a low angle, or the error sensitivity at the time of manufacturing at a low image height becomes severe. By satisfying the condition 6), it is possible to eliminate the power shortage of the fifth lens L5 and shorten the optical length, and it is easy to set the CRA at a low angle, so that the production with a low image height is possible. The error sensitivity at the time is also improved.

  Regarding conditional expression (7) that defines the ratio of the focal length of the first lens L1 and the third lens L3, if the lower limit of conditional expression (7) is exceeded, the focal length of the third lens L3 is negative and short. If the aberration becomes too difficult to correct, and the upper limit is exceeded, the focal length of the third lens L3 becomes too short and positive, and the balance of astigmatism and coma becomes worse. Although it becomes strict, aberrations can be corrected easily by satisfying the condition of the conditional expression (7), the focal length of the third lens L3 is not too short, and astigmatism and coma are balanced. It becomes good.

  Regarding the conditional expression (8) that defines the combined focal length of the second lens L2, the third lens L3, and the fourth lens L4, if the lower limit of the conditional expression (8) is exceeded, the negative power of the second lens L2 is strong. However, the error sensitivity at the time of manufacture becomes too severe, or the positive power of the fourth lens L4 becomes too weak to make correction of astigmatism and distortion aberration difficult. However, the condition (8) is satisfied. This facilitates correction of astigmatism and distortion.

  Regarding conditional expression (9) that defines the respective powers of the first lens L1, the second lens L2, and the third lens L3, that is, the focal length relationship, if the lower limit of the conditional expression (9) is exceeded, If the negative power of the lens L2 becomes too strong, the optical length becomes long, or the error sensitivity at the time of manufacture becomes severe. Conversely, if the upper limit is exceeded, the power of the third lens becomes too strong, ensuring off-axis performance. However, by satisfying the condition of the conditional expression (9), the optical length can be set short and the off-axis performance can be easily secured.

  When the conditional expression (10) that defines the power relationship of the first lens L1, the third lens L3, and the fourth lens L4, that is, the focal length relationship, exceeds the lower limit of the conditional expression (10), If the lens power L4 becomes too strong and the optical length becomes long, or correction of astigmatism and distortion becomes difficult. If the upper limit is exceeded, the power L3 of the third lens becomes too strong and off-axis. Although it becomes difficult to ensure performance, by satisfying the condition of conditional expression (10), astigmatism and distortion can be easily corrected and off-axis performance can be easily ensured.

  Regarding conditional expression (11) that defines the respective powers of the first lens L1, the third lens L3, and the fifth lens L5, that is, the relationship of the focal length, when the lower limit of the conditional expression (11) is exceeded, The negative power of the lens L5 becomes too strong, making it difficult to correct coma and astigmatism. Conversely, if the upper limit is exceeded, the power of the third lens L3 becomes too strong and it is difficult to ensure off-axis performance. However, satisfying the condition of conditional expression (11) facilitates correction of coma and astigmatism, and facilitates securing off-axis performance.

  Regarding the conditional expression (12) that defines the lens shape of the first lens L1, if the lower limit of the conditional expression (12) is exceeded, it is disadvantageous for shortening the optical length, and error sensitivity at the time of manufacturing the first lens L1. On the contrary, if the upper limit is exceeded, it becomes difficult to maintain the aberration balance and the desired performance cannot be obtained. However, satisfying the condition (12) is advantageous for shortening the optical length. In addition, the aberration balance can be maintained well and desired performance can be obtained.

  Further, regarding the conditional expression (13) that defines the lens shape of the fourth lens L4, if the lower limit of the conditional expression (13) is exceeded, the power of the fourth lens L4 becomes too weak and it becomes difficult to correct various aberrations. When the performance deteriorates and the upper limit is exceeded, the power of the fourth lens L4 becomes too strong or the lens has a low meniscus degree. In this case, it becomes difficult to maintain the aberration balance, and the desired performance is obtained. Although not obtained, by satisfying the condition of the conditional expression (13), it becomes easy to correct various aberrations, and it becomes easy to maintain an aberration balance, and desired performance can be obtained.

  Further, regarding the conditional expression (14) that defines the optical length in relation to the focal length, when the lower limit of the conditional expression (14) is exceeded, the optical length becomes too short, and it becomes difficult to correct various aberrations. When the error sensitivity at the time becomes too severe, and the upper limit is exceeded, the optical length becomes too long, and it is difficult to reduce the thickness of the imaging lens, but by satisfying the condition of the conditional expression (14), Various aberrations can be easily corrected, and the optical length is not excessively shortened, which is advantageous for reducing the thickness of the imaging lens.

  Further, regarding conditional expression (15) that defines the brightness of the lens and Fno, if the lower limit of conditional expression (15) is exceeded, Fno becomes too large and often does not satisfy the required brightness. When the upper limit is exceeded, Fno becomes too small, or the distance between the stop (Fno light flux restricting plate) and the first lens front becomes too large.
