Description

  The present invention relates to a small imaging lens, and an imaging apparatus and a portable terminal incorporating the same, and more particularly to an imaging lens, an imaging apparatus, and a portable terminal suitable for a low profile having six or more lenses.

  In recent years, with the improvement in performance and miniaturization of imaging devices using solid-state imaging devices such as CCD (Charge Coupled Device) type image sensors or CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) type image sensors, Portable information terminals are becoming popular. More recently, with the increase in size and definition of display elements mounted on the above-described portable information terminals and the like, the imaging elements are also required to have higher pixels, and are mounted on these portable information terminals and the like. There is a growing demand for higher performance for imaging lenses. As an imaging lens for such an application, an imaging lens having a five-lens configuration has been proposed. Recently, six or seven lenses having an excellent aberration correction ability compared to a five-lens lens have been proposed for further enhancement of performance (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

  On the other hand, there is a strong demand for downsizing of the image pickup apparatus on the other hand, while the demand for downsizing of the image pickup device is strong. In order to achieve both high downsizing and downsizing of the image pickup device, downsizing of the pixel size is progressing. As the pixel size of the image sensor becomes smaller, the amount of light that can be received per pixel decreases accordingly, and noise due to a decrease in the S / N ratio and image degradation due to camera shake that occurs due to a longer exposure time are problematic. Become. In order to solve the problem caused by the decrease in the amount of light that can be received per pixel, a brighter lens is demanded, and recently, a lens having a large aperture of F1.9 or less is demanded. On the other hand, increasing the diameter contributes to an increase in the amount of received light, but leads to the occurrence of monochromatic aberrations such as spherical aberration and coma aberration, and degrades optical performance. The lenses described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 only describe a dark imaging lens of F2.0 or higher, and spherical aberration and coma are not a problem. Considering increasing the diameter of the imaging lens described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 and the like, even if spherical aberration is corrected by adjusting the power arrangement of the lens, it is difficult to correct coma at the same time. This is considered to be a factor that hinders performance.

China Utility Model Publication No. 2028886720 Specification China Utility Model Notification No. 202886713

The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and while making the imaging lens as small as that of the conventional type, the various apertures are well corrected with a large aperture. An object of the present invention is to provide an imaging lens having a number of sheets or more. Here, although it is a scale of a small imaging lens, the present invention aims at miniaturization at a level satisfying the following expression. By satisfying this range, the entire imaging apparatus can be reduced in size and weight.
L / 2Y <1.00 (7)
However,
L: Distance on the optical axis from the lens surface closest to the object side to the image-side focal point of the entire imaging lens system 2Y: Diagonal length of the imaging surface of the imaging device (diagonal length of the rectangular effective pixel area of the imaging device)
Here, the image side focal point refers to an image point when a parallel light beam parallel to the optical axis is incident on the imaging lens. When a parallel plate such as an optical low-pass filter, an infrared cut filter, or a seal glass of the image pickup device package is disposed between the most image side surface of the image pickup lens and the image side focal position, the parallel plate is used. The part is assumed to be the air conversion distance and the value of L is calculated.

The value L / 2Y is more preferably in the range of the following formula.
L / 2Y <0.95 (7) '

In order to achieve the above object, the imaging lens according to the present invention is composed of 6 to 8 lenses, and the image side surface of the lens arranged closest to the image side is an aspherical surface and has an extreme value within an effective diameter other than the center. The first lens, the second lens, and the third lens that are continuously arranged from the most object side include at least one positive lens and at least one negative lens, and the first, second, and third lenses Among the third lenses, the positive lens having the highest power (absolute value) is set as the main positive lens, the negative lens having the highest power (absolute value) is set as the main negative lens, and a predetermined first lens is provided on the object side of the first lens. A first diaphragm member having an aperture is disposed, and a second diaphragm member having a predetermined second aperture is disposed between the main negative lens and the adjacent lens, and satisfies the following conditional expression.
1.5 <Dn / s1 <2.3 (1)
s1 ≧ s2 (2)
Dn: Distance from the image side surface of the main negative lens to the imaging surface (however, when there is a parallel plate, the parallel plate portion is the air equivalent length)
s1: Aperture diameter of the first aperture member s2: The aperture diameter of the second aperture member, and the smallest aperture diameter when there are a plurality of aperture members that can be regarded as the second aperture member. When the light is incident, it is assumed that it has a positive power when it is refracted in a direction approaching the optical axis, and has a negative power when it is refracted in a direction away from the optical axis. The effective diameter indicates the passing height of the light beam that passes through the position farthest from the optical axis among the light beam reaching the maximum image height. An extreme value is a point on the aspheric surface where the tangent plane or tangent of the apex of the aspheric surface is a plane or line segment perpendicular to the optical axis in the curve of the lens cross-sectional shape within the effective radius.
As for the value of conditional expression (1), the range of the following expression is more desirable.
1.6 <Dn / s1 <2.2 (1) ′

  With the imaging lens according to the present invention, it is possible to achieve a reduction in height while satisfactorily correcting aberrations even with a bright lens having a lens size of F1.9 or less because it is composed of 6 to 8 lenses. . In addition, by setting at least one lens among the first to third lenses close to the object side as a positive lens, the positive lens is arranged at a position close to the object side. It is closer to the object side, which is advantageous for shortening the optical total length. In addition, by using at least one of the first to third lenses as a negative lens, the negative lens can be arranged at a position where the axial beam diameter is large, which is advantageous for correcting axial chromatic aberration and spherical aberration. become. Furthermore, by making the image side surface of the lens disposed closest to the image side an aspherical surface having an extreme value other than the center within the effective diameter, the incident angle when the light beam of the peripheral image height is incident on the image surface is reduced. Since it can be suppressed, the light receiving efficiency of the sensor when using the image sensor can be improved.

Conditional expression (1) satisfies the distance Dn from the image side surface of the main negative lens, which is one of the first to third lenses, to the image surface, and the first aperture member disposed on the object side of the first lens. The ratio with the opening diameter s1 of the opening is represented. If the main negative lens is too far away from the image plane, it will hinder the shortening of the total optical length. If the main negative lens is too close to the image plane, the negative lens is disposed at a position where the light beam is thin, which is disadvantageous for correction of spherical aberration and coma aberration. Furthermore, if the aperture diameter s1 of the first aperture of the first diaphragm member is too large, it is possible to block light rays that tend to cause coma that passes near the end of the entrance pupil from among the light beams that are imaged to the peripheral image height. This is disadvantageous for correction of coma aberration. On the other hand, if the opening diameter s1 of the first opening is too small, the increase in the diameter of the imaging lens is hindered.
That is, exceeding the lower limit of the conditional expression (1) prevents the main negative lens from being too close to the image plane or the opening diameter s1 of the first opening of the first blocking member from becoming too large. Aberration and coma can be corrected well. On the other hand, by falling below the upper limit of conditional expression (1), it is possible to prevent the main negative lens from moving too far away from the image plane and the aperture diameter s1 of the first aperture of the first aperture member from becoming too small. It is possible to increase the diameter while shortening the length.

  Furthermore, by satisfying the conditional expression (2), the aperture diameter s2 of the second diaphragm member disposed on the object side or the image side of the main negative lens is set to open the first diaphragm member disposed on the object side of the first lens. The light beam that is smaller than the aperture s1 and that passes through the vicinity of the end of the entrance pupil among the light fluxes formed at the peripheral image height is shielded, so that coma can be improved and high performance can be achieved. Become.

According to a specific aspect of the present invention, in the imaging lens, the lens closest to the image side is a negative lens. That is, in the case of the first to seventh lenses in order from the object side, the seventh lens is a negative lens. In the case of the first to sixth lenses, the sixth lens is a negative lens.
By making the final lens a negative lens, the image plane is moved away from the final lens, so that necessary back focus can be ensured. For example, in an auto-focus type imaging device, a mechanism for changing the distance between the lens and the sensor is provided, so the distance between the lens and the sensor is required to be large to some extent, and as described above, the back focus is ensured. Becomes important.

  In another aspect of the present invention, an aperture stop is provided closer to the object side than the fourth lens. By arranging the aperture stop in this way, the exit pupil position can be moved away from the image plane, so that the incident angle of the light beam on the image plane can be kept small.

In still another aspect of the present invention, the following conditional expression is satisfied.
1.0 ≦ Φmax / EPD <1.25 (3)
Φmax: effective diameter of the lens having the largest effective diameter from the first lens to the third lens EPD: entrance pupil diameter For the value of the conditional expression (3), the range of the following expression is more preferable.
1.0 ≦ Φmax / EPD <1.1 (3) ′

  Conditional expression (3) represents the ratio of the largest effective diameter Φmax of the effective diameters of the first to third lenses to the entrance pupil diameter EPD. Since the three lenses arranged closest to the object side are arranged at a position where the beam diameter is large, the contribution to spherical aberration and coma aberration is large. When the effective diameter Φmax increases with respect to the entrance pupil, the luminous flux diameter becomes relatively small with respect to the effective diameter in the lens having the maximum effective diameter Φmax, and thus the contribution to spherical aberration and coma aberration is reduced. If it is a negative lens, the optimum aberration correction cannot be performed, and if it is a positive lens, the occurrence of aberration cannot be suppressed small. In other words, both the spherical aberration and the coma aberration can be satisfactorily corrected by falling below the upper limit of the conditional expression (3). Moreover, since the effective diameter of the first lens is never smaller than the entrance pupil, it does not fall below the lower limit of conditional expression (3).

In still another aspect of the present invention, the following conditional expression is satisfied.
0.70 <s2 / s1 ≦ 1.0 (4)
As for the value of conditional expression (4), the range of the following expression is more desirable.
0.73 <s2 / s1 ≦ 0.90 (4) ′

  Conditional expression (4) indicates that the second light-shielding diaphragm disposed on the image side or object side of the main negative lens with respect to the aperture diameter s1 of the first aperture of the first diaphragm member disposed on the object side of the first lens. The ratio of the opening diameter s2 of the two openings is represented. When the aperture diameters of all the diaphragm members arranged between the lenses are determined so that the light beam formed at the peripheral image height passes through the entire area of the entrance pupil, the coma aberration that occurs remarkably when the aperture is increased remains as it is. As a result, high performance becomes difficult. On the other hand, the light beam formed at the peripheral image height passes through the lens at a large angle with respect to the optical axis, particularly in a low-profile lens such as the imaging lens according to the present invention, so that it is near the end of the entrance pupil. The light rays passing through the optical axis move away from the optical axis as they approach the image plane. Therefore, the light beam that passes through the position of the main negative lens passes through the position away from the optical axis with respect to the light beam that passes through the position of the aperture member on the object side of the first lens. Under such circumstances, by falling below the upper limit of conditional expression (4), the aperture diameter s2 of the second aperture member is surely smaller than the aperture diameter s1 of the first aperture member, and the coma aberration is reliably improved. And higher performance is possible. Further, by exceeding the lower limit of the conditional expression (4), it is possible to prevent the light flux of the peripheral image height from being excessively shielded, so that it is possible to prevent the peripheral light amount from being insufficient.

  In still another aspect of the present invention, the image side surface of the main negative lens is a concave surface, which is the surface having the smallest effective diameter in the entire system. By making the image side surface of the main negative lens concave, it is possible to reduce the angle of incidence on the surface with respect to the axial light beam, thereby reducing the occurrence of spherical aberration. Further, since a strong negative power is exerted with respect to the light beam formed at the peripheral image height, the coma aberration generated in the main positive lens can be corrected well. In addition, by reducing the effective diameter of the main negative lens, even if the main negative lens has a strong power, the inclination of the surface does not become too large at the periphery of the effective diameter. On the other hand, generation of unnecessary spherical aberration and coma aberration can be suppressed.

In still another aspect of the present invention, the following conditional expression is satisfied.
1.0 <f123 / f <4.0 (5)
f123: Combined focal length from the first lens to the third lens f: Focal length of the entire system More preferably, the value of the conditional expression (5) is in the range of the following expression.
1.5 <f123 / f <2.5 (5) ′

  Conditional expression (5) represents the ratio of the combined focal length f123 from the first to third lenses to the focal length f of the entire system. In order to shorten the overall optical length while maintaining the focal length f of the entire system, the principal point position of the entire system must be brought closer to the object side. However, by placing a strong positive power on the object side, The principal point position can be moved closer to the object side. By falling below the upper limit of conditional expression (5), the first to third lenses have a strong positive power, which is advantageous for shortening the total optical length. Moreover, since the positive power of the first to third lenses does not become too strong by exceeding the lower limit of the conditional expression (5), the occurrence of spherical aberration and coma aberration can be reduced.

In still another aspect of the present invention, the three lenses continuously arranged on the image side of the main negative lens satisfy the following conditional expressions, respectively.
0.01 <SAG_A / ΦA <0.20 (6)
SAG_A: Sag amount within the effective diameter of the object side surface ΦA: Effective diameter of the object side surface The value of conditional expression (6) is more preferably in the range of the following expression.
0.02 <SAG_A / ΦA <0.15 (6) ′

  Conditional expression (6) represents the ratio between the sag amount SAG_A and the effective diameter ΦA of the object side surfaces of the three lenses disposed on the image side of the main negative lens. If the sag amount SAG_A becomes too large with respect to the effective diameter ΦA, the area occupied in the optical axis direction of the lens becomes large, which is disadvantageous for shortening the optical total length. On the other hand, if the sag amount SAG_A is too small with respect to the effective diameter ΦA, the lens can only have a small refractive power, so that aberration correction becomes difficult.

  In yet another aspect of the present invention, the main negative lens is disposed on the image side immediately after the main positive lens. From the viewpoint of shortening the total optical length, it is desirable that the main positive lens is closer to the object side in order to bring the principal point position of the entire system closer to the object side. Further, since the light fluxes formed at the respective image heights are converged after passing through the main positive lens, the light flux becomes thinner as the distance from the main positive lens is increased. From the viewpoint of aberration correction, it is desirable that the main negative lens is disposed at a position where the light beam is thick. Therefore, by arranging the main negative lens immediately after the main positive lens on the image side, it is possible to improve the aberration correction while advantageously shortening the optical total length.

  In still another aspect of the present invention, the optical device further includes an optical element having substantially no power.

  An imaging apparatus according to the present invention includes the imaging lens described above and an imaging element. By using the imaging lens of the present invention, a small, bright and high-performance imaging device can be obtained.

A light-shielding stop FS is also disposed on the image side of the flange portion 39 of the seventh lens L7. The aperture stop AS and the light-shielding stop FS described above are stop members for selectively allowing light rays that can contribute to image formation to pass through.

  Next, an example of a cellular phone or other portable terminal 300 equipped with the camera module 50 illustrated in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3, 4A, and 4B.

  The mobile terminal 300 is a smartphone-type mobile communication terminal, and includes an imaging device 100 having a camera module 50, a control unit (CPU) 310 that performs overall control of each unit and executes a program corresponding to each process, and communication.

  In addition to the camera module 50 described above, the imaging apparatus 100 includes a control unit 103, an optical system driving unit 105, an imaging element driving unit 107, an image memory 108, and the like.

  The control unit 103 controls each unit of the imaging device 100. The control unit 103 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and the like, and various types of programs are read out from the ROM and expanded in the RAM, in cooperation with the CPU.

  The optical system driving unit 105 controls the state of the imaging lens 10 by operating the driving mechanism 55 a of the imaging lens 10 when performing focusing, exposure, and the like under the control of the control unit 103. The optical system driving unit 105 operates the driving mechanism 55a to appropriately move the specific lens or all the lenses in the imaging lens 10 along the optical axis AX, thereby causing the imaging lens 10 to perform a focusing operation or the like.

  The image sensor drive unit 107 controls the operation of the image sensor 51 when performing exposure or the like under the control of the control unit 103. Specifically, the image sensor driving unit 107 scans and drives the image sensor 51 based on the timing signal, and extracts an image signal therefrom. The image sensor driving unit 107 can perform various image processing such as distortion correction, color correction, and compression on the image signal detected and digitized by the image sensor 51.

  The image memory 108 receives the digitized image signal from the image sensor driving unit 107 and stores it as readable and writable image data.

  Here, the photographing operation of the mobile terminal 300 including the imaging device 100 will be described. When the camera mode in which the mobile terminal 300 is operated as a camera is set, subject monitoring (through image display) and image shooting execution are performed. In monitoring, an image of a subject obtained through the imaging lens 10 is formed on the imaging surface I (see FIG. 1) of the imaging element 51. The image sensor 51 is scanned and driven by the image sensor driving unit 107 and detects an analog signal corresponding to one screen as a photoelectric conversion output corresponding to a light image formed at regular intervals.

  This analog signal is converted into digital data after gain adjustment is appropriately performed for each primary color component of RGB in a circuit attached to the image sensor 51. The digital data is subjected to color process processing including pixel interpolation processing and Y correction processing in the image sensor driving unit 107 to generate a digital luminance signal Y and color difference signals Cb, Cr (image data).

  The display operation unit 320 functions as a finder in monitoring and displays captured images in real time. In this state, focusing, exposure, and the like of the imaging lens 10 are set by driving the optical system driving unit 105 based on an operation input performed by the user via the display operation unit 320 at any time.

  In such a monitoring state, when the user appropriately operates the display operation unit 320, still image data is captured. One frame of image data stored in the image memory 108 is read in accordance with the operation content of the display operation unit 320, and processing such as compression is performed by the image sensor driving unit 107. The processed image data is recorded in, for example, a temporary storage unit (RAM) 370 via the control unit 103 and the control unit 310.

  The above-described imaging apparatus 100 is an example of an imaging apparatus suitable for the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to this.

  That is, the imaging device equipped with the camera module 50 or the imaging lens 10 is not limited to being built in the smartphone-type mobile terminal 300, but may be built into a mobile phone, a PHS (Personal Handyphone System), or the like. Of course, it may be incorporated in a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a tablet personal computer, a mobile personal computer, a digital still camera, a video camera, or the like.

  Hereinafter, returning to FIG. 1 and the like, the imaging lens 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. An imaging lens 10 shown in FIG. 1 forms a subject image on an imaging surface (projected surface) I of an imaging device 51, and is a positive first lens with a convex surface facing the object side in order from the object side. L1, the second lens L2, the third lens L3, the fourth lens L4, the fifth lens L5, the sixth lens L6, and a negative seventh lens with a concave surface facing the image side in the vicinity of the optical axis AX L7. In the imaging lens 10, the object side surface S71 and the image side surface S72 of the seventh lens L7 closest to the image side are aspherical surfaces. In particular, the image side surface S72 has an extreme value, that is, an inflection point P within the effective diameter. Of the first to third lenses L1 to L3, the first lens L1 is a positive lens having a positive refractive power in the vicinity of the optical axis AX, and the second and third lenses L2 and L3 are both optical axes, for example. It is a negative lens having negative refractive power in the vicinity of AX. In the illustrated example, the first to third lenses L1 to L3 are one positive lens, and the first lens L1 is a main positive lens. In the illustrated example, the focal length (absolute value) of the second lens L2 is shorter than the focal length (absolute value) of the third lens L3, and the second lens L2 is a main negative lens. The combined focal length of the first and second lenses L1 and L2 is a positive value. The imaging lens 10 has an aperture stop AS closer to the object side than the third lens L3, and in the illustrated example, the aperture stop AS is disposed between the first and second lenses L1 and L2. In the imaging lens 10, a light-shielding stop FS is disposed between the object side of the first lens L1 and between the second and third lenses L2 and L3. Here, the light-shielding diaphragm FS1 disposed on the object side of the first lens L1 functions as a first diaphragm member having a first opening, and is disposed between the first and second lenses L1 and L2. The light-shielding stop FS2 disposed between the aperture stop AS or the second and third lenses L2 and L3 functions as a second stop member having a second opening.

  According to the imaging lens 10, the first lens L1 among the first to third lenses L1 to L3 close to the object side is a positive lens, and the combined focal length of the first and second lenses L1 and L2 is positive. Therefore, the principal point position of the entire imaging lens 10 system is closer to the object side, which is advantageous for shortening the optical total length. In addition, since the second lens L2 and the like among the first to third lenses L1 to L3 is a negative lens, the negative lens can be disposed at a position where the axial light beam diameter is large. It becomes advantageous for correction of. Furthermore, by making the image side surface S72 of the final seventh lens L7 an aspherical surface having an inflection point P within the effective diameter, the incident angle when a light beam having a peripheral image height is incident on the imaging surface I is kept small. Therefore, the light receiving efficiency of the image sensor 51 can be improved.

In the imaging lens 10, the value Dn is the distance from the image side surface S22 of the main negative lens (second lens L2) to the imaging surface I, and the value s1 is the opening of the first aperture provided in the light-shielding stop FS on the object side. The following conditional expressions (1) and (2), where the aperture is the aperture and the value s2 is the aperture of the second aperture provided in the image-side light-shielding stop FS
1.5 <Dn / s1 <2.3 (1)
s1 ≧ s2 (2)
Is satisfied. Here, about the value Dn, the part of the parallel plate F is calculated as air conversion length. The value s2 is given as the aperture diameter of the first diaphragm member (light-shielding diaphragm) FS1 disposed on the object side of the first lens L1. The value s2 is given as the aperture diameter of the second diaphragm member (light-shielding diaphragm) FS2 disposed between the second and third lenses L2 and L3. In the illustrated example, the aperture diameter of the light-shielding stop FS on the image side of the second lens L2 is smaller than the aperture diameter of the aperture stop AS on the object side of the second lens L2 that is the main negative lens. , A light-shielding stop FS between the second and third lenses L2 and L3.
Note that the value Dn / s1 of the conditional expression (1) is more preferably within the range of the following conditional expression (1) ′.
1.6 <Dn / s1 <2.2 (1) ′

According to the imaging lens 10, the value Dn / s1 exceeds the lower limit of the conditional expression (1), so that the main negative lens (second lens L2) is too close to the imaging surface I or provided on the diaphragm member FS. Since it is possible to suppress the opening diameter s1 of the first opening from becoming too large, spherical aberration and coma can be favorably corrected. On the other hand, when the value Dn / s1 falls below the upper limit of the conditional expression (1), the main negative lens (second lens L2) is too far away from the image plane, or the aperture diameter s1 of the first aperture provided in the aperture member FS. Can be prevented from becoming too small, so that it is possible to increase the aperture while shortening the optical total length of the imaging lens 10.
Also, according to the imaging lens 10, the conditional expression (2) is satisfied, the opening diameter s1 of the first diaphragm member FS1 is smaller than the opening diameter s2 of the second diaphragm member FS2, and an image is formed at the peripheral image height. Since the light beam passing through the vicinity of the end of the entrance pupil of the light beam is shielded, coma aberration can be improved and high performance can be achieved.

In addition to the conditional expressions (1) and (2), the imaging lens 10 of the present embodiment has the conditional expression (3) already described.
1.0 ≦ Φmax / EPD <1.25 (3)
Satisfied. However, the value Φmax is the effective diameter of the lens having the largest effective diameter (the first lens L1 in the illustrated example) among the first to third lenses L1 to L3, and the value EPD is the entrance pupil diameter. .
The value Φmax / EPD of conditional expression (3) is more preferably within the range of conditional expression (3) ′ below.
1.0 ≦ Φmax / EPD <1.1 (3) ′

In addition to the conditional expression (1) and the like, the imaging lens 10 of the present embodiment has the conditional expression (4) already described.
0.70 <s2 / s1 ≦ 1.0 (4)
Satisfied.
Note that the value s2 / s1 of the conditional expression (4) is more preferably within the range of the following conditional expression (4) ′.
0.73 <s2 / s1 ≦ 0.90 (4) ′

In addition to the conditional expression (1) and the like, the imaging lens 10 of the present embodiment has the conditional expression (5) already described.
1.0 <f123 / f <4.0 (5)
Satisfied. However, the value f123 is the combined focal length from the first to third lenses L1 to L3, and the value f is the focal length of the entire imaging lens 10 system.
The value f123 / f of the conditional expression (5) is more preferably within the range of the following conditional expression (5) ′.
1.5 <f123 / f <2.5 (5) ′

Of the imaging lens 10 of the present embodiment, the three lenses (third, fourth, fifth lenses L3, L4, L5) arranged on the image side of the main negative lens (second lens L2) are described above. In addition to conditional expression (1) etc., conditional expression (6) already explained
0.01 <SAG_A / ΦA <0.20 (6)
Satisfied. However, the value SAG_A is the sag amount within the effective diameter of the object side surfaces S31, S41, and S51 of the three lenses L3 to L5, and ΦA is the effective value of the object side surfaces S31, S41, and S51 of the lenses L3 to L5. Is the diameter.
Note that the value SAG_A / ΦA of the conditional expression (6) is more preferably within the range of the following conditional expression (6) ′.
0.02 <SAG_A / ΦA <0.15 (6) ′

  Although not particularly illustrated, the imaging lens 10 of the present embodiment may further include a lens or other optical element that does not substantially have power.

  In the above, the present invention has been described based on the embodiments and examples, but the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and the like. For example, the aperture stop AS can be directly supported by the lens barrel portion 54a, but can be fixed to a flange portion extending to the outside of one adjacent lens, or the outside of a pair of adjacent lenses. And can be fixed by being sandwiched between flange portions extending in the direction. Although the light-shielding stop FS can also be directly supported by the lens barrel portion 54a, it can be fixed to a flange portion that extends to the outside of one adjacent lens, or extends to the outside of a pair of adjacent lenses. It can be fixed by being sandwiched between flange portions.

  The aperture stop AS and the light-shielding stop FS are not limited to metal plates, but can be plate members made of resin or ceramics, and can also be incorporated by painting the flange portion of the lens with a light-shielding material. Further, the aperture stop AS and the light-shielding stop FS are not limited to a complete light-shielding body, and may be one that performs light reduction outside the aperture. When the light-shielding stop FS is a light-shielding plate or the like, a plurality of light-shielding plates or the like can be arranged between a pair of lenses.
