In describing the present invention, detailed descriptions of constructions or processes known in the art may be omitted to avoid obscuring appreciation of the invention by a person of ordinary skill in the art with unnecessary detail regarding such known constructions and functions. Accordingly, the meaning of specific terms or words used in the specification and claims should not be limited to the literal or commonly employed sense, but should be construed or may be different in accordance with the intention of a user or an operator and customary usages. Therefore, the definition of the specific terms or words should be based on the contents across the specification.
Now, the imaging lens according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a constructional view illustrating an imaging lens according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
The imaging lens formed with a plurality of lenses is arranged about an optical axis (ZO), where thickness, size, and shape of each lens are rather overdrawn in FIG.1 for description, and a spherical shape or an aspheric shape has been only presented as one exemplary embodiment, but obviously not limited to this shape.
Referring to FIG.1, a camera lens module according to the present invention includes, in an ordered way from an object side, a first lens (10), a second lens (20), a third lens (30), a filter (40) and a photo-detector (light receiving element, 50).
Light corresponding to image information of a subject is incident on the photo-detector (50) by passing the first lens (10), the second lens (20), the third lens (30) and the filter (40).
Advantageously, the first lens (10) is made to take a convex form at both sides, and the third lens is made of plastic material with a high refractive index of 1.6 or more, enabling to realize a wide-angled, compact and high resolution imaging lens having a new power structure.
Hereinafter, in the description of the construction of each lens, "object side surface" means the surface of a lens facing an object side with respect to an optical axis, "image side surface" means the surface of the lens facing an imaging surface with respect to the optical axis, and image side surface means the surface of the lens a capturing surface with respect to an optical axis.
In the specification, "imaging" basically may refer to the process in which an imaging lens receives light from a subject in the field and outputs an image (image signal and image data) indicating the same. However, if the imaging lens is repeatedly generating the image indicating the subject in the field at a predetermined cycle, "imaging" may mean the process of storing a specific image out of the images generated by the imaging lens in a storage unit. In other words, from a certain standpoint, "imaging" may mean a process in which the imaging lens acquires an image indicating the content of the subject in the field and having the same in a state subjectable to the measurement process at a certain intended timing.
The first lens (10) has positive (+) refractive power, and is convexly formed at an object side surface (S1). Furthermore, the first lens (10) may be convexly formed at an object side surface (S1) only, or may take a convex form at both sides, where the object side surface (S1) and image side surface (S2) are convexly formed.
The second lens (20) has positive (+) refractive power, and is concavely formed at an object side surface (S3). Furthermore, a separate aperture may be interposed between the first and second lenses (10, 20). In addition, the third lens (30) has negative (-) refractive power, and takes a meniscus form convexly formed at an object side surface (S5). Furthermore, the power of second lens (20) is greater than that of the first and third lenses (10, 30). Still furthermore, at least one surface of the first, second and third lenses (10, 20, 30) is aspheric.
For information, 'S2' of FIG.1 is an image side surface of the first lens (10), 'S4' is an image side surface of the second lens(20), 'S6' is an image side surface of the third lens(30), and 'S7' and 'S8' are respectively object side surface and image side surface of the filter (40).
The filter (40) may be any one optical filter selected from an infrared filter and a cover glass. The filter (40), if applied with the infrared filter, prevents radiant heat emitted from external light from being transferred to the photo-detector (70). Furthermore, the infrared filter transmits visible light and reflects and outputs infrared rays to the outside.
The photo-detector (70) is an image sensor, for example, CCD (Charge Coupled Device) or CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor), etc.
Because the later-described conditional expressions and exemplary embodiments are preferred embodiments enhancing an effect of interaction, it would be obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not necessarily comprised of the following conditions. For example, only by satisfying some conditions of later-described conditional expressions, the lens construction (framework) of the present invention may have an enhanced effect of interaction.

In FIG.3, it is interpreted that an aberration correcting function is good as curves approach the Y axis. In the shown aberration diagram, because values of images in nearly all fields appear proximate to the Y axis, spherical aberration, astigmatic field curves and distortion all demonstrate a superior figure.
That is, a range of the longitudinal spherical aberration is -0.021㎜ ~ +0.0125㎜, a range of astigmatic field curves is -0.013㎜ ~ +0.014㎜, and a range of distortion is -1.89㎜ ~ +0.53㎜, such that the imaging lens according to the present invention can correct the characteristics of spherical aberration, astigmatic field curves and distortion, whereby the imaging lens according to the present invention has an excellent lens characteristics.
The previous description of the present invention is provided to enable any person skilled in the art to make or use the invention. Various modifications to the invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the generic principles defined herein may be applied to other variations without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Thus, the invention is not intended to limit the examples described herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
As apparent from the foregoing, the imaging lens according to the exemplary embodiments of the present invention has an industrial applicability in that a first lens is made to take a convex form at both sides, and a third lens is made of plastic material with a high refractive index, enabling to realize a wide-angled, compact and high resolution imaging lens having a new power structure.
