  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
  • Hereinafter, the preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail referring to the accompanying drawings.
  • FIGS. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21 and 23 are schematic views of the imaging lenses in Examples 1 to 12 according to the embodiments of the present invention, respectively.
  • As shown in FIG. 1, the imaging lens according to the present embodiment comprises in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens L1 having positive refractive power and a convex surface facing the object side near an optical axis X, a second lens L2 having the negative refractive power near the optical axis X, a third lens L3 having the positive refractive power near the optical axis X, a fourth lens L4, and a fifth lens L5 having negative refractive power and a concave surface facing an image side near the optical axis X. The image-side surface of the fifth lens L5 is formed as an aspheric surface having at least one off-axial pole point.
  • A filter IR such as an IR cut filter and a cover glass are arranged between the fifth lens L5 and an image plane IMG (namely, the image plane of an image sensor). The filter IR is omissible.
  • By arranging an aperture stop ST on the object side of the first lens L1, correction of aberrations and control of an incident angle of the light ray of high image height to the image sensor become facilitated.
  • The first lens L1 has the positive refractive power, and the wide field of view and the low-profileness are achieved by strengthening the refractive power. The shape of the first lens L1 is bi-convex shape having the convex surfaces facing the object side and the image side near the optical axis X, and the positive refractive power on the both sides is favorable for the low-profileness. The shape of the first lens L1 may be a meniscus shape having the convex surface facing the object side and the concave surface facing the image side near the optical axis X as in the Examples 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 shown in FIGS. 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21 and 23. In this case, the spherical aberration, the astigmatism and the distortion are properly corrected.
  • The second lens L2 has the negative refractive power, and the spherical aberration and the chromatic aberration are properly corrected. The shape of the second lens L2 is the meniscus shape having the concave surface facing the object side and the convex surface facing the image side near the optical axis X, therefore the light ray incident angle to the second lens L2 is appropriately suppressed, and the coma aberration, the astigmatism and the distortion are properly corrected. The shape of the second lens L2 may be a bi-concave shape having the concave surfaces facing the object side and the image side near the optical axis X as in the Examples 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11 and 12 shown in FIGS. 7, 9, 11, 13, 17, 19, 21 and 23. In this case, the negative refractive power on the both sides is favorable for correction of the chromatic aberration. Furthermore, as in the Example 8 shown in FIG. 15, the shape may be the meniscus shape having the convex surface facing the object side and the concave surface facing the image side near the optical axis X. In this case, the astigmatism, the field curvature and the distortion are properly corrected.
  • The third lens L3 has the positive refractive power, and the astigmatism, the coma aberration and the distortion are properly corrected. The shape of the third lens L3 is the meniscus shape having the concave surface facing the object side and the convex surface facing the image side near the optical axis X, therefore the light ray incident angle to the third lens L3 is appropriately suppressed, and the spherical aberration, the astigmatism, the coma aberration and the distortion are properly corrected.
  • The fourth lens L4 has the negative refractive power, and the astigmatism, the field curvature, the distortion and the chromatic aberration are properly corrected. The shape of the fourth lens L4 is the bi-concave shape having the concave surfaces facing the object side and the image side near the optical axis X, and the negative refractive power on the both sides is favorable for the correction of the chromatic aberration. Furthermore, the shape of the fourth lens L4 may be the meniscus shape having the convex surface facing the object side and the concave surface facing the image side near the optical axis X as in the Examples 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10 and 11 shown in FIGS. 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 19 and 21. In this case, the astigmatism and the distortion are properly corrected.
  • The fifth lens L5 has the negative refractive power, and secures a back focus while maintaining the low-profileness. The shape of the fifth lens L5 is the meniscus shape having the convex surface facing the object side and the concave surface facing the image side near the optical axis X, and the astigmatism, the field curvature and the distortion are properly corrected. Furthermore, the object-side surface and the image-side surface of the fifth lens L5 are formed as the aspheric surfaces having at least one off-axial pole point, therefore the field curvature and the distortion are properly corrected and the light ray incident angle to an image sensor is properly controlled.
  • Regarding the imaging lens according to the present embodiments, all lenses of the first lens L1 to the fifth lens L5 are preferably single lenses. Configuration with only the single lenses can frequently use the aspheric surfaces. In the present embodiments, all lens-surfaces are formed as the appropriate aspherical surfaces, and proper aberration correction is made. In comparison with the case in which a cemented lens is used, workload is reduced, and manufacturing in low cost becomes possible.
  • Furthermore, the imaging lens according to the present embodiments makes manufacturing facilitated by using plastic material for all of the lenses, and mass production in a low cost can be realized.
  • The material applied to the lens is not limited to the plastic material. By using glass material, further high performance may be aimed. It is preferable that all of lens-surfaces are formed as aspheric surfaces, however, spherical surfaces easy to be manufactured may be adopted in accordance with required performance.

  • The imaging lens in Example 1 satisfies conditional expressions (1) to (17) as shown in Table 13.
  • FIG. 2 shows spherical aberration (mm), astigmatism (mm), and distortion (%) of the imaging lens in Example 1. The spherical aberration diagram shows the amount of aberration at wavelengths of F-ray (486 nm), d-ray (588 nm), and C-ray (656 nm). The astigmatism diagram shows the amount of aberration at d-ray on a sagittal image surface S (solid line) and on tangential image surface T (broken line), respectively (same as FIGS. 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22 and 24). As shown in FIG. 2, each aberration is corrected excellently.
