Abstract
Description
- This application claims priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 201410158325.2, filed on Apr. 18, 2014.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The invention relates to an imaging lens and an electronic apparatus including the same.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- In recent years, as use of portable electronic devices (e.g., mobile phones and digital cameras) becomes ubiquitous, much effort has been put into reducing dimensions of portable electronic devices. Moreover, as dimensions of charged coupled device (CCD) and complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) based optical sensors are reduced, dimensions of imaging lenses for use with the optical sensors must be correspondingly reduced without significantly compromising optical performance.
- Each of U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,480,105, 7,639,432, 7,486,449 and 7,684,127 discloses a conventional imaging lens that includes five lens elements. In U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,480,105 and 7,639,432, the refractive power of the first two lens elements has a negative-positive configuration, whereas in U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,486,449 and 7,684,127, a negative-negative configuration is found. However, these configurations may not achieve good optical properties, and the length of the conventional imaging lens of each of the aforementioned Patent cases is 10 mm˜18 mm, which renders the same unsuitable to be incorporated into a mobile phone, a digital camera and/or other portable electronic devices with a thin design.
- Enlarging the field of view and reducing the system length of the imaging lens while maintaining satisfactory optical performance are always a goal in the industry.
- Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide an imaging lens having a shorter overall length while maintaining good optical performance.
- According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided an imaging lens including a first lens element, a second lens element, a third lens element, a fourth lens element and a fifth lens element arranged in order from an object side to an image side along an optical axis of said imaging lens. Each of the first lens element, the second lens element, the third lens element, the fourth lens element and the fifth lens element has a refractive power, an object-side surface facing toward the object side, and an image-side surface facing toward the image side.
- The object-side surface of the first lens element is a convex surface, and has a convex portion in a vicinity of the optical axis, and a convex portion in a vicinity of a periphery of said first lens element. The image-side surface of the second lens element is a concave surface, and has a concave portion in a vicinity of the optical axis, and a concave portion in a vicinity of a periphery of said second lens element. The third lens element is made of a plastic material. The object-side surface of the fourth lens element has a sag value of Sag_r0 at the optical axis, a sag value of Sag_r1 at a surface point thereof corresponding to a distance of ⅓ of an effective optical radius thereof from the optical axis in a radially outward direction, a sag value of Sag_r2 at a surface point thereof corresponding to a distance of ⅔ of the effective optical radius thereof from the optical axis in the radially outward direction, and a sag value of Sag_r3 at a surface point thereof corresponding to a distance of the effective optical radius thereof from the optical axis in the radially outward direction. The object-side surface of the fourth lens element satisfies: |Sag_r1−Sag_r0|>|Sag_r2−Sag_r1| and |Sag_r3−Sag_r2|>|Sag_r2−Sag_r1|. The image-side surface of the fifth lens element has a concave portion in a vicinity of the optical axis, and a convex portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the fifth lens element. The imaging lens does not include any lens element with refractive power other than the first lens element, the second lens element, the third lens element, the fourth lens element and the fifth lens element.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide an electronic apparatus including an imaging lens with five lens elements.
- According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an electronic apparatus including a housing and an imaging module. The imaging module is disposed in the housing, and includes the imaging lens of this invention, a barrel on which the imaging lens is disposed, a holder unit on which the barrel is disposed, and an image sensor disposed at the image side of the imaging lens.

The object-side surface of the lens element has a convex portion at an area A, a concave portion at an area B, and a convex portion at an area C. This is because the area A is more convex in a direction parallel to the optical axis (I) in comparison with a radially exterior area thereof (i.e., area B), the area B is more concave in comparison with the area C, and the area C is more convex in comparison with an area E. “In a vicinity of a periphery” refers to an area around a periphery of a curved surface of the lens element for passage of imaging light only, which is the area C inFIG. 1 . The imaging light includes a chief ray Lc and a marginal ray Lm. “In a vicinity of the optical axis” refers to an area around the optical axis of the curved surface for passage of the imaging light only, which is the area A inFIG. 1 .

FIG. 31 is a table that lists the aforesaid relationships among some of the aforementioned lens parameters corresponding to the seven preferred embodiments for comparison. When the lens parameters of theimaging lens 10 according to this invention satisfy the following relationships, the optical performance is still relatively good even with the reduced system length: - (1) G34/G23 is proposed to be greater than or equal to 0.52, and G34/(G12+G45) is proposed to be greater than or equal 0.85: Narrowing G12, G23, G34, and G45 can aid in reducing the overall thickness of the
imaging lens 10. However, with the specific sag design of the object-side surface 61 of thefourth lens element 6, expansion of G34 will enhance the ability of theimaging lens 10 to eliminate aberrations. Thus, G34 should be slightly larger, causing increase of G34/G23 and G34/(G12+G45). G34/G23 is proposed to be greater than or equal to 0.52, preferably between 0.52 and 3.0, and G34/(G12+G45) is proposed to be greater than or equal to 0.85, preferably between 0.85 and 4.0. - (2) ALT/G23 is proposed to be greater than or equal to 4.8, and T5/G23 is proposed to be greater than or equal to 1.45: Reductions of ALT and T5 are limited due to industrial manufacturing technology, whereas G23 is less restricted. Thus, ALT/G23 and T5/G23 will tend to be large, where ALT/G23 is proposed to be greater than or equal to 4.8, preferably between 4.8 and 15.0, and T5/G23 is proposed to be greater than or equal to 1.45, preferably between 1.45 and 7.0.
- (3) T1/(G12+G45) is proposed to be greater than or equal to 2.0, T5/(G12+G45) is proposed to be greater than or equal to 3.6, T3/(G12+G45) is proposed to be greater than or equal to 1.8, and ALT/(G12+G45) is proposed to be greater than or equal to 7.3: Taking the aforementioned description into consideration, reduction of the thickness of each of the lens elements, such as T1, T3, T5 and ALT, is limited due to industrial manufacturing technology; and the gaps such as G12 and G45 should be designed to be small, thus increasing the values of T1/(G12+G45), T5/(G12+G45), T3/(G12+G45) and ALT/G12+G45). Thus, it is recommended that T1/(G12+G45) should be greater than or equal to 2.0, preferably between 2.0 and 4.0, T5/(G12+G45) should be greater than or equal to 3.6, preferably between 3.6 and 10.0, T3/(G12+G45) should be greater than or equal to 1.8, preferably between 1.8 and 6.0, and ALT/(G12+G45) should be greater than or equal to 7.3, preferably between 7.3 and 25.0.
- (4) ALT/T4 is proposed to be greater than or equal to 6.0, (T5+T1)/T4 is proposed to be greater than or equal to 3.8, and T5/T4 is proposed to be greater than or equal to 1.8: T1, T4, T5 and ALT should maintain an appropriate ratio there among in order to prevent the thickness of any lens element from being too thick, thus affecting the thin design of the portable electronic devices, or too thin, causing manufacturing issues. Thus, it is recommended that ALT/T4 should be greater than or equal to 6.0, preferably between 6.0 and 15.0, (T5+T1)/T4 should be greater than or equal to 3.8, preferably between 3.8 and 8.0, and T5/T4 is greater than or equal to 1.8, preferably between 1.8 and 6.0.
- To sum up, effects and advantages of the
imaging lens 10 according to the present invention are described hereinafter. -
- 1) The convex object-
side surface 31 of thefirst lens element 3 can assist in the collection of the rays/beams of light. The concave image-side surface 41 of thesecond lens element 4, and theconcave portion 721 and theconvex portion 722 of the image-side surface 72 of thefifth lens element 7, can be configured to cooperatively improve image quality. In addition, thethird lens element 5 is made of a plastic material, which allows more flexibility, be it a convex or concave design. - 2) When the object-
side surface 61 of thefourth lens element 6 satisfies |Sag_r1−Sag_r0|>|Sag_r2−Sag_r1| and |Sag_r3−Sag_r2|>|Sag_r2−Sag_r1|, the optical aberration correcting capability is improved. - 3) Through design of the relevant optical parameters, optical aberrations, such as spherical aberration, may be reduced or even eliminated. Further, through surface design and arrangement of the lens elements 3-7, even with the system length reduced, optical aberrations may still be reduced or even eliminated, resulting in relatively good optical performance.
- 4) Through the aforesaid seven preferred embodiments, it is known that the length of the
imaging lens 10 of this invention may be reduced down to below 4.80 mm while maintaining good optical performance.
- 1) The convex object-
- Shown in
FIG. 32 is a first exemplary application of theimaging lens 10, in which theimaging lens 10 is disposed in ahousing 11 of an electronic apparatus 1 (such as a mobile phone, but not limited thereto), and forms a part of animaging module 12 of theelectronic apparatus 1. Theimaging module 12 includes abarrel 21 on which theimaging lens 10 is disposed, aholder unit 120 on which thebarrel 21 is disposed, and animage sensor 130 disposed at the image plane 100 (seeFIG. 2 ). - The
holder unit 120 includes afirst holder portion 121 in which thebarrel 21 is disposed, and asecond holder portion 122 having a portion interposed between thefirst holder portion 121 and theimage sensor 130. Thebarrel 21 and thefirst holder portion 121 of theholder unit 120 extend along an axis (II), which coincides with the optical axis (I) of theimaging lens 10. - Shown in
FIG. 33 is a second exemplary application of theimaging lens 10. The differences between the first and second exemplary applications reside in that, in the second exemplary application, theholder unit 120 is configured as a voice-coil motor (VCM), and thefirst holder portion 121 includes aninner section 123 in which thebarrel 21 is disposed, anouter section 124 that surrounds theinner section 123, acoil 125 that is interposed between the inner andouter sections magnetic component 126 that is disposed between an outer side of thecoil 125 and an inner side of theouter section 124. - The
inner section 123 and thebarrel 21, together with theimaging lens 10 therein, are movable with respect to theimage sensor 130 along an axis (III), which coincides with the optical axis (I) of theimaging lens 10. Theoptical filter 8 of theimaging lens 10 is disposed at thesecond holder portion 122, which is disposed to abut against theouter section 124. Configuration and arrangement of other components of theelectronic apparatus 1 in the second exemplary application are identical to those in the first exemplary application, and hence will not be described hereinafter for the sake of brevity. - By virtue of the
imaging lens 10 of the present invention, theelectronic apparatus 1 in each of the exemplary applications may be configured to have a relatively reduced overall thickness with good optical and imaging performance, so as to reduce cost of materials, and satisfy requirements of product miniaturization. - While the present invention has been described in connection with what are considered the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is understood that this invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments but is intended to cover various arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and equivalent arrangements.
