DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0084] Before the detailed description of the present invention,
the first thing to be noticed is that in the present invention,
similar (not necessarily identical) elements are labeled as the
same numeral references. In the entire present specification, "a
certain lens element has negative/positive refractive power" refers
to the part in a vicinity of the optical axis of the lens element
has negative/positive refractive power. "An object-side/image-side
surface of a certain lens element has a concave/convex part" refers
to the part is more concave/convex in a direction parallel with the
optical axis to be compared with an outer region next to the
region. Taking FIG. 15 for example, the optical axis is "I" and the
lens element is symmetrical with respect to the optical axis I. The
object side of the lens element has a convex part in the region A,
a concave part in the region B, and a convex part in the region C
because region A is more convex in a direction parallel with the
optical axis than an outer region (region B) next to region A,
region B is more concave than region C and region C is similarly
more convex than region E. "A circular periphery of a certain lens
element" refers to a circular periphery region of a surface on the
lens element for light to pass through, that is, region C in the
drawing. In the drawing, imaging light includes Lc (chief ray) and
Lm (marginal ray). "A vicinity of the optical axis" refers to an
optical axis region of a surface on the lens element for light to
pass through, that is, the region A in FIG. 15. In addition, the
lens element may include an extension part E for the lens element
to be installed in an optical imaging lens set. Ideally speaking,
no light would pass through the extension part, and the actual
structure and shape of the extension part is not limited to this
and may have other variations. For the reason of simplicity, the
extension part is not illustrated in FIGS. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 and
13.
[0085] As shown in FIG. 1, the optical imaging lens set 1 of six
lens elements of the present invention, sequentially located from
an object side 2 (where an object is located) to an image side 3
along an optical axis 4, has an aperture stop 80, a first lens
element 10, a second lens element 20, a third lens element 30, a
fourth lens element 40, a fifth lens element 50, a sixth lens
element 60, a filter 72 and an image plane 71. Generally speaking,
the first lens element 10, the second lens element 20, the third
lens element 30, the fifth lens element 50 and the sixth lens
element 60 may be made of a transparent plastic material and each
has an appropriate refractive power. There are exclusively six lens
elements with refractive power in the optical imaging lens set 1 of
the present invention. The optical axis 4 is the optical axis of
the entire optical imaging lens set 1, and the optical axis of each
of the lens elements coincides with the optical axis of the optical
imaging lens set 1.
[0086] Furthermore, the optical imaging lens set 1 includes an
aperture stop (ape. stop) 80 disposed in an appropriate position.
In FIG. 1, the aperture stop 80 is disposed between the object side
2 and the first lens element 10. When light emitted or reflected by
an object (not shown) which is located at the object side 2 enters
the optical imaging lens set 1 of the present invention, it forms a
clear and sharp image on the image plane 71 at the image side 3
after passing through the aperture stop 80, the first lens element
10, the second lens element 20, the third lens element 30, the
fourth lens element 40, the fifth lens element 50, the sixth lens
element 60 and the filter 72.
[0087] In the embodiments of the present invention, the optional
filter 72 may be a filter of various suitable functions, for
example, the filter 72 may be an infrared cut filter (IR cut
filter), placed between the sixth lens element 60 and the image
plane 71. The filter 72 is made of glass, without affecting the
focal length of the optical lens element system, namely the optical
imaging lens set, of the present invention.
[0088] Each lens element in the optical imaging lens set 1 of the
present invention has an object-side surface facing toward the
object side 2 as well as an image-side surface facing toward the
image side 3. In addition, each object-side surface and image-side
surface in the optical imaging lens set 1 of the present invention
has a part in a vicinity of its circular periphery (circular
periphery part) away from the optical axis 4 as well as a part in a
vicinity of the optical axis (optical axis part) close to the
optical axis 4. For example, the first lens element 10 has a first
object-side surface 11 and a first image-side surface 12; the
second lens element 20 has a second object-side surface 21 and a
second image-side surface 22; the third lens element 30 has a third
object-side surface 31 and a third image-side surface 32; the
fourth lens element 40 has a fourth object-side surface 41 and a
fourth image-side surface 42; the fifth lens element 50 has a fifth
object-side surface 51 and a fifth image-side surface 52; and the
sixth lens element 60 has a sixth object-side surface 61 and a
sixth image-side surface 62.
[0089] Each lens element in the optical imaging lens set 1 of the
present invention further has a central thickness on the optical
axis 4. For example, the first lens element 10 has a first lens
element thickness T1, the second lens element 20 has a second lens
element thickness T2, the third lens element 30 has a third lens
element thickness T3, the fourth lens element 40 has a fourth lens
element thickness T4, the fifth lens element 50 has a fifth lens
element thickness T5, and the sixth lens element 60 has a sixth
lens element thickness T6. Therefore, the total thickness of all
the lens elements in the optical imaging lens set 1 along the
optical axis 4 is ALT=T1+T2+T3+T4+T5+T6.
[0090] In addition, between two adjacent lens elements in the
optical imaging lens set 1 of the present invention there is an air
gap along the optical axis 4. For example, an air gap AG12 is
disposed between the first lens element 10 and the second lens
element 20, an air gap AG23 is disposed between the second lens
element 20 and the third lens element 30, an air gap AG34 is
disposed between the third lens element 30 and the fourth lens
element 40, an air gap AG45 is disposed between the fourth lens
element 40 and the fifth lens element 50, and an air gap AG56 is
disposed between the fifth lens element 50 and the sixth lens
element 60. Therefore, the sum of total five air gaps between
adjacent lens elements from the first lens element 10 to the sixth
lens element 60 along the optical axis 4 is AAG,
AAG=AG12+AG23+AG34+AG45+AG56.

[0112] Some important ratios in each example are shown in FIG. 32.
In light of the above examples, the inventors observe the following
features:
[0113] The first lens element has positive refractive power, to
provide the needed refractive power for the optical imaging lens
set. The second lens element has negative refractive power, to
correct aberration. In addition, the aperture stop is disposed
between the object side and the first lens element, helping to
collect the image light and decreasing the total length of the
optical imaging lens set. Besides, the first object-side surface of
the first lens element has a convex part in a vicinity of the
optical axis and a convex part in a vicinity of its circular
periphery can help to collect the image light; the second
object-side surface of the second lens element has a concave part
in a vicinity of its circular periphery, the third object-side
surface of the third lens element has a concave part in a vicinity
of its circular periphery, the third image-side surface of the
third lens element has a convex part in a vicinity of the optical
axis, the fourth image-side surface of the fourth lens element has
a convex part in a vicinity of the optical axis, the fifth
object-side surface of the fifth lens element has a concave part in
a vicinity of its periphery, the fifth image-side surface of the
fifth lens element has a convex part in a vicinity of the optical
axis, and the sixth image-side surface of the sixth lens element
has a convex part in a vicinity of its periphery, where each of the
surfaces matches each other, in order to improve the
aberration.
[0114] In addition, the inventors discover that there are some
better ratio ranges for different data according to the above
various important ratios. Better ratio ranges help the designers to
design the better optical performance and an effectively reduced
length of a practically possible optical imaging lens set. For
example:
[0115] (1) T1/AG45.ltoreq.2.1:
[0116] AG45 is an air gap between said fourth lens element and said
fifth lens element along the optical axis. If AG45 is maintained
within a relatively large value, it would help to increase the
optical performance. And T1 is the thickness of the first lens
element, and decreasing T1 can help for shrinking the total length
of the optical imaging lens set. Therefore, T1/AG45 should
preferably be small. If the relationship T1/AG45.ltoreq.2.1 is
satisfied, ideally, it is suggested that the range may be
0.8.about.2.1.
[0117] (2) AAG/T2.ltoreq.4.8, AAG/T6.ltoreq.2.0,
AAG/T4.ltoreq.3.3:
[0118] AAG is the sum of total five air gaps between adjacent lens
elements from the first lens element to the sixth lens element
along the optical axis. Decreasing AAG can help for shrinking the
total length of the optical imaging lens set. And T2, T4 T6 are the
thicknesses of the second lens element, the fourth lens element and
the sixth lens element along said optical axis respectively.
Considering the difficulties of during the manufacturing process,
T2, T4 and T6 cannot be shrunk effectively, but AAG can be shrunk
more compared with T2, T4 and T6. Therefore, AAG/T2, AAG/T6 and
AAG/T4 should preferably be small. If the relationship
AAG/T2.ltoreq.4.8 is satisfied, ideally, it is suggested that the
range may be 2.0.about.4.8; If the relationship AAG/T6.ltoreq.2.0
is satisfied, ideally, it is suggested that the range may be
0.8.about.2.0; If the relationship AAG/T4 is satisfied, ideally, it
is suggested that the range may be 2.0.ltoreq.3.3.
[0119] (3) T6/T2.ltoreq.3.5, T5/T2.ltoreq.2.0, T1/T3.ltoreq.1.4,
ALT/T4.ltoreq.9.0, T3/T5.gtoreq.1.2, ALT/T5.gtoreq.5.0,
T5/T.ltoreq.1.5:
[0120] T1.about.T6 are the thicknesses of the first lens element to
the sixth lens element along said optical axis respectively. ALT is
the total thickness of said first lens element, said second lens
element, said third lens element, said fourth lens element, said
fifth lens element and said sixth lens element along said optical
axis. Those parameters should be maintained within a suitable value
range. Otherwise, the total length cannot be thinned if one lens
element has too big central thickness, or it's difficult to
manufacture the optical imaging lens set if one lens element has
too small central thickness. If the relationship T6/T2.ltoreq.3.5
is satisfied, ideally, it is suggested that the range may be
1.5.about.3.5; If the relationship T5/T2.ltoreq.2.0 is satisfied,
ideally, it is suggested that the range may be 0.8.about.2.0; If
the relationship T1/T3.ltoreq.1.4 is satisfied, ideally, it is
suggested that the range may be 0.7.about.1.4; If the relationship
ALT/T4.ltoreq.9.0 is satisfied, ideally, it is suggested that the
range may be 5.0.about.9.0; If the relationship T3/T5.gtoreq.1.2 is
satisfied, ideally, it is suggested that the range may be
1.2.about.2.0; If the relationship ALT/T5.gtoreq.5.0 is satisfied,
ideally, it is suggested that the range may be 5.0.about.10.0; If
the relationship T5/T4.ltoreq.1.5 is satisfied, ideally, it is
suggested that the range may be 0.7.about.1.5.
[0121] (4) AG23/(AG12+AG34).ltoreq.1.85,
AAG/(AG12+AG56).gtoreq.3.0, (AG34+AG56)/AG23.ltoreq.1.2,
AAG/(AG12+AG34).ltoreq.6.5:
[0122] AG12 is an air gap between said first lens element and said
second lens element along the optical axis. AG23 is an air gap
between said second lens element and said third lens element along
the optical axis. AG34 is an air gap between said third lens
element and said fourth lens element along the optical axis. AG56
is an air gap between said fifth lens element and said sixth lens
element along the optical axis. AAG is the sum of total five air
gaps between adjacent lens elements from the first lens element to
the sixth lens element along the optical axis. As mentioned above,
those parameters should be maintained within a suitable value
range. Otherwise, the total length cannot be thinned if every two
adjacent lens elements have too big air gap, or it's difficult to
manufacture the optical imaging lens set if every two adjacent lens
elements have too small air gap. If the relationship
AG23/(AG12+AG34).ltoreq.1.85 is satisfied, ideally, it is suggested
that the range may be 0.7.about.1.85; If the relationship
AAG/(AG12+AG56).gtoreq.3.0 is satisfied, ideally, it is suggested
that the range may be 3.0.about.7.0; If the relationship
(AG34+AG56)/AG23.ltoreq.1.2 is satisfied, ideally, it is suggested
that the range may be 0.3.about.1.2; If the relationship
AAG/(AG12+AG34).ltoreq.6.5 is satisfied, ideally, it is suggested
that the range may be 3.0.about.6.5.
[0123] (5) Preferably, T4/AG23 is suggested to be larger than or
equal to 1.0; T6/AG23 is suggested to be smaller than or equal to
2.8, avoiding AG23 being too big or too small; T4/AG23 is suggested
to be between 1.0.about.1.6; T6/AG23 is suggested to be between
1.5.about.2.8.
[0124] The optical imaging lens set 1 of the present invention may
be applied to an electronic device, such as mobile phones or
driving recorders. Please refer to FIG. 16. FIG. 16 illustrates a
first preferred example of the optical imaging lens set 1 of the
present invention for use in a portable electronic device 100. The
electronic device 100 includes a case 110, and an image module 120
mounted in the case 110. A mobile phone is illustrated in FIG. 16
as an example, but the electronic device 100 is not limited to a
mobile phone.
[0125] As shown in FIG. 16, the image module 120 includes the
optical imaging lens set 1 as described above. FIG. 16 illustrates
the aforementioned first example of the optical imaging lens set 1.
In addition, the portable electronic device 100 also contains a
barrel 130 for the installation of the optical imaging lens set 1,
a module housing unit 140 for the installation of the barrel 130, a
substrate 172 for the installation of the module housing unit 140
and an image sensor 70 disposed at the substrate 172, and at the
image side 3 of the optical imaging lens set 1. The image sensor 70
in the optical imaging lens set 1 may be an electronic
photosensitive element, such as a charge coupled device or a
complementary metal oxide semiconductor element. The image plane 71
forms at the image sensor 70.
[0126] The image sensor 70 used here is a product of chip on board
(COB) package rather than a product of the conventional chip scale
package (CSP) so it is directly attached to the substrate 172, and
protective glass is not needed in front of the image sensor 70 in
the optical imaging lens set 1, but the present invention is not
limited to this.
[0127] To be noticed in particular, the optional filter 72 may be
omitted in other examples although the optional filter 72 is
present in this example. The case 110, the barrel 130, and/or the
module housing unit 140 may be a single element or consist of a
plurality of elements, but the present invention is not limited to
this.
[0128] Each one of the six lens elements 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60
with refractive power is installed in the barrel 130 with air gaps
disposed between two adjacent lens elements in an exemplary way.
The module housing unit 140 has a lens element housing 141, and an
image sensor housing 146 installed between the lens element housing
141 and the image sensor 70. However in other examples, the image
sensor housing 146 is optional. The barrel 130 is installed
coaxially along with the lens element housing 141 along the axis
I-I', and the barrel 130 is provided inside of the lens element
housing 141.
[0129] Please also refer to FIG. 17 for another application of the
aforementioned optical imaging lens set 1 in a portable electronic
device 200 in the second preferred example. The main differences
between the portable electronic device 200 in the second preferred
example and the portable electronic device 100 in the first
preferred example are: the lens element housing 141 has a first
seat element 142, a second seat element 143, a coil 144 and a
magnetic component 145. The first seat element 142 is for the
installation of the barrel 130, exteriorly attached to the barrel
130 and disposed along the axis I-I'. The second seat element 143
is disposed along the axis I-I' and surrounds the exterior of the
first seat element 142. The coil 144 is provided between the
outside of the first seat element 142 and the inside of the second
seat element 143. The magnetic component 145 is disposed between
the outside of the coil 144 and the inside of the second seat
element 143.
[0130] The first seat element 142 may pull the barrel 130 and the
optical imaging lens set 1 which is disposed inside of the barrel
130 to move along the axis I-I', namely the optical axis 4 in FIG.
1. The image sensor housing 146 is attached to the second seat
element 143. The filter 72, such as an infrared filter, is
installed at the image sensor housing 146. Other details of the
portable electronic device 200 in the second preferred example are
similar to those of the portable electronic device 100 in the first
preferred example so they are not elaborated again.
[0131] Those skilled in the art will readily observe that numerous
modifications and alterations of the device and method may be made
while retaining the teachings of the invention. Accordingly, the
above disclosure should be construed as limited only by the metes
and bounds of the appended claims.
