2. Description of Related Art

In recent years, with the popularity of mobile products with camera functionalities, the demand for miniaturizing an optical lens system is increasing. The sensor of a conventional photographing camera is typically a CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) or a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) sensor. As advanced semiconductor manufacturing technologies have allowed the pixel size of sensors to be reduced and compact optical lens systems have gradually evolved toward the field of higher megapixels, there is an increasing demand for compact optical lens systems featuring better image quality.

A conventional compact optical lens system employed in a portable electronic product mainly adopts a four-element lens structure. Due to the popularity of mobile products with high-end specifications, such as smart phones and PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), the pixel and image-quality requirements of the compact optical lens system have increased rapidly. However, the conventional four-element lens structure cannot satisfy the requirements of the compact optical lens system.

Another conventional compact optical lens system with five-element lens structure enhances image quality and resolving power. However, the total track length of the optical lens system cannot be reduced easily. Therefore, a need exists in the art for providing an optical lens system for use in a mobile electronic product that has excellent imaging quality without excessive total track length.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

An image capturing system includes, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens element, a second lens element, a third lens element, a fourth lens element and a fifth lens element. The image capturing system further includes an image sensor located on an image plane.

The first through fifth lens elements are five independent and non-cemented lens elements. That is, any two lens elements adjacent to each other are not cemented, and there is an air space between the two lens elements. The manufacture of the cemented lenses is more complex than the manufacture of the non-cemented lenses. Especially, the cemented surfaces of the two lens elements should have accurate curvatures for ensuring a precise bonding between the two lens elements, or else an undesirable gap between the cemented surfaces of the two lens elements created during the cementing process may affect the optical quality of the image capturing system. Therefore, the image capturing system of the present disclosure provides five independent and non-cemented lens elements for improving the problem generated by the cemented lens elements.

The first lens element with positive refractive power has a convex object-side surface, so that the positive refractive power of the first lens element can be enhanced for further reducing the total track length thereof.

The second lens element with negative refractive power corrects the aberration generated from the first lens element with positive refractive power. The second lens element has a concave image-side surface, so that the refractive power of the second lens element is proper by adjusting the curvature of the image-side surface of the second lens element, and the aberration of the image capturing system can be further corrected.

The third lens element with positive refractive power can reduce the sensitivity of the image capturing system by balancing the distribution of the positive refractive power of the image capturing system.

The fourth lens element with negative refractive power has a concave object-side surface and a convex image-side surface, so that the astigmatism and the high-order aberration of the image capturing system can be corrected.

The fifth lens element with refractive power has a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface, so that the principal point of the image capturing system can be positioned away from the image plane, and the total track length of the image capturing system can be reduced so as to maintain the compact size of the image capturing system. Furthermore, the fifth lens element has at least one inflection point on at least one of the object-side surface and the image-side surface thereof, so that the incident angle of the off-axis field on the image sensor can be effectively reduced and the aberration can be corrected as well.

When a maximum image height of the image capturing system is ImgH, an axial distance between the object-side surface of the first lens element and an image plane is TTL, and a focal length of the image capturing system is f, the following relationship is satisfied:
2.8 mm<(f/ImgH)×TTL<4.6 mm.

Therefore, the image capturing system with short total track length is applicable to the ultra-thin electronic products. Moreover, the optimized arrangement of the maximum image height of the image capturing system can provide the excellent image capture of the compact electronic products.

When the focal length of the image capturing system is f, and a focal length of the second lens element is f2, the following relationship is satisfied:
−1.4<f/f2<−0.18.

Therefore, the negative refractive power of the second lens element can to correct the aberration generated from the first lens element with positive refractive power.

When a central thickness of the second lens element is CT2, a central thickness of the third lens element is CT3, and acentral thickness of the fourth lens element is CT4, the following relationship is satisfied:
0.20 mm<(CT2+CT3+CT4)/3<0.31 mm.

Therefore, the thickness of the second lens element, the third lens element and the fourth lens element are proper for enhancing the yield of the manufacture and fabrication of the lens elements.

When an Abbe number of the first lens element is V1, an Abbe number of the second lens element is V2, an Abbe number of the third lens element is V3, and an Abbe number of the fourth lens element is V4, the following relationships are satisfied:
20<V1−V2<50; and
27<V3−V4<45.

Therefore, the chromatic aberration of the image capturing system can be corrected.

When the axial distance between the object-side surface of the first lens element and an image plane is TTL, the focal length of the image capturing system is f, and a half of the maximal field of view of the image capturing system is HFOV, the following relationship is satisfied:
6.0 mm²<TTL×f/tan(HFOV)<16.0 mm².

Therefore, the short total track length of the image capturing system is applicable to the ultra-thin electronic product, and the field of view of the image to capturing system is proper for the image capture of the compact electronic product.

TTL, f, and HFOV can further satisfy the following relationship:
6.5 mm²<TTL×f/tan(HFOV)<13.4 mm².

When a maximal field of view of the image capturing system is FOV, the following relationship is satisfied:
70 degrees<FOV<90 degrees.

Therefore, the proper range of the image can be captured by the image capturing system with larger field of view.

When the focal length of the image capturing system is f, the following relationship is satisfied:
1.8 mm<f<3.2 mm.

Therefore, the proper focal length of the image capturing system can maintain the compact size of the image capturing system.

When the maximum image height of the image capturing system is ImgH, and the axial distance between the object-side surface of the first lens element and an image plane is TTL, the following relationships are satisfied:
2.2 mm<TTL<3.5 mm; and
TTL/ImgH<<1.55.

Therefore, the image capturing system with short total track length can maintain the compact size for portable electronic products.

According to the image capturing system of the present disclosure, the lens elements thereof can be made of glass or plastic material. When the lens elements are made of glass material, the distribution of the refractive power of the image capturing system may be more flexible to design. When the lens elements are made of plastic material, the cost of manufacture can be effectively reduced. Furthermore, the surface of each lens element can be aspheric, so that it is easier to make the surface into non-spherical shapes. As a result, more controllable variables are obtained, and the aberration is reduced, as well as the number of required lens elements can be reduced while constructing an optical system. Therefore, the total track length of the image capturing system can also be reduced.

According to the image capturing system of the present disclosure, when the lens element has a convex surface, it indicates that the paraxial region of the surface is convex; and when the lens element has a concave surface, it indicates that the paraxial region of the surface is concave.

According to the image capturing system of the present disclosure, the image capturing system can include at least one stop, such as an aperture stop, glare stop, field stop, etc. Said glare stop or said field stop is allocated for reducing stray light while retaining high image quality. Furthermore, when a stop is an aperture stop, the position of the aperture stop within an optical system can be arbitrarily placed in front of the entire lens assembly, within the lens assembly, or in front of the image plane in accordance with the preference of the optical designer, in order to achieve the desirable optical features or higher image quality produced from the optical system.
