not limited to shooting images and video, but also the demand for
telephoto. The optical imaging lens with the wide-angle lens has an
ability to achieve the function of optical zoom. The longer of the
system focal length of the telephoto lens, the higher of the
optical zoom ratio.
[0004] The system length is increased while the focal length of the
optical imaging lens is increased, such that the distances between
the lens elements are increased to reduce the assembly and
manufacturing yield. Accordingly, how to increase the focal length
of the optical imaging lens while maintaining imaging quality and
improving assembly and manufacturing yield is a subject that needs
to be discussed in depth.
SUMMARY
[0005] In light of the abovementioned problems, the optical imaging
lens having good imaging quality, a smaller size, increased system
focal length and increased manufacturing is the point of
improvement.
[0006] The present disclosure provides an optical imaging lens for
capturing images and videos such as the optical imaging lens of
cell phones, cameras, tablets and personal digital assistants. By
controlling the convex or concave shape of the surfaces of lens
elements, the size of the optical imaging lens may be reduced, the
system focal length of the optical imaging lens may be increased,
and the manufacturing may be raised while maintaining good optical
characteristics.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0067] For a more complete understanding of the present disclosure
and its advantages, reference is now made to the following
description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in
which like reference numbers indicate like features. Persons having
ordinary skill in the art will understand other varieties for
implementing example embodiments, including those described herein.
The drawings are not limited to specific scale and similar
reference numbers are used for representing similar elements. As
used in the disclosures and the appended claims, the terms "example
embodiment," "exemplary embodiment," and "present embodiment" do
not necessarily refer to a single embodiment, although it may, and
various example embodiments may be readily combined and
interchanged, without departing from the scope or spirit of the
present disclosure. Furthermore, the terminology as used herein is
for the purpose of describing example embodiments only and is not
intended to be a limitation of the disclosure. In this respect, as
used herein, the term "in" may include "in" and "on", and the terms
"a", "an" and "the" may include singular and plural references.
Furthermore, as used herein, the term "by" may also mean "from",
depending on the context. Furthermore, as used herein, the term
"if" may also mean "when" or "upon", depending on the context.
Furthermore, as used herein, the words "and/or" may refer to and
encompass any and all possible combinations of one or more of the
associated listed items.
[0068] In the present disclosure, the optical system may comprise
at least one lens element to receive imaging rays that are incident
on the optical system over a set of angles ranging from parallel to
an optical axis to a half field of view (HFOV) angle with respect
to the optical axis. The imaging rays pass through the optical
system to produce an image on an image plane. The term "a lens
element having positive refracting power (or negative refracting
power)" means that the paraxial refracting power of the lens
element in Gaussian optics is positive (or negative). The term "an
object-side (or image-side) surface of a lens element" refers to a
specific region of that surface of the lens element at which
imaging rays can pass through that specific region. Imaging rays
include at least two types of rays: a chief ray Lc and a marginal
ray Lm (as shown in FIG. 1). An object-side (or image-side) surface
of a lens element can be characterized as having several regions,
including an optical axis region, a periphery region, and, in some
cases, one or more intermediate regions, as discussed more fully
below.
[0069] FIG. 1 is a radial cross-sectional view of a lens element
100. Two referential points for the surfaces of the lens element
100 can be defined: a central point, and a transition point. The
central point of a surface of a lens element is a point of
intersection of that surface and the optical axis I. As illustrated
in FIG. 1, a first central point CP1 may be present on the
object-side surface 110 of lens element 100 and a second central
point CP2 may be present on the image-side surface 120 of the lens
element 100. The transition point is a point on a surface of a lens
element, at which the line tangent to that point is perpendicular
to the optical axis I. The optical boundary OB of a surface of the
lens element is defined as a point at which the radially outermost
marginal ray Lm passing through the surface of the lens element
intersects the surface of the lens element. All transition points
lie between the optical axis I and the optical boundary OB of the
surface of the lens element. If multiple transition points are
present on a single surface, then these transition points are
sequentially named along the radial direction of the surface with
reference numerals starting from the first transition point. For
example, the first transition point, e.g., TP1, (closest to the
optical axis I), the second transition point, e.g., TP2, (as shown
in FIG. 4), and the Nth transition point (farthest from the optical
axis I).
[0070] The region of a surface of the lens element from the central
point to the first transition point TP1 is defined as the optical
axis region, which includes the central point. The region located
radially outside of the farthest Nth transition point from the
optical axis I to the optical boundary OB of the surface of the
lens element is defined as the periphery region. In some
embodiments, there may be intermediate regions present between the
optical axis region and the periphery region, with the number of
intermediate regions depending on the number of the transition
points.
[0071] The shape of a region is convex if a collimated ray being
parallel to the optical axis I and passing through the region is
bent toward the optical axis I such that the ray intersects the
optical axis I on the image side A2 of the lens element. The shape
of a region is concave if the extension line of a collimated ray
being parallel to the optical axis I and passing through the region
intersects the optical axis I on the object side A1 of the lens
element.
[0072] Additionally, referring to FIG. 1, the lens element 100 may
also have a mounting portion 130 extending radially outward from
the optical boundary OB. The mounting portion 130 is typically used
to physically secure the lens element to a corresponding element of
the optical system (not shown). Imaging rays do not reach the
mounting portion 130. The structure and shape of the mounting
portion 130 are only examples to explain the technologies, and
should not be taken as limiting the scope of the present
disclosure. The mounting portion 130 of the lens elements discussed
below may be partially or completely omitted in the following
drawings.
[0073] Referring to FIG. 2, optical axis region Z1 is defined
between central point CP and first transition point TP1. Periphery
region Z2 is defined between TP1 and the optical boundary OB of the
surface of the lens element. Collimated ray 211 intersects the
optical axis I on the image side A2 of lens element 200 after
passing through optical axis region Z1, i.e., the focal point of
collimated ray 211 after passing through optical axis region Z1 is
on the image side A2 of the lens element 200 at point R in FIG. 2.
Accordingly, since the ray itself intersects the optical axis I on
the image side A2 of the lens element 200, optical axis region Z1
is convex. On the contrary, collimated ray 212 diverges after
passing through periphery region Z2. The extension line EL of
collimated ray 212 after passing through periphery region Z2
intersects the optical axis I on the object side A1 of lens element
200, i.e., the focal point of collimated ray 212 after passing
through periphery region Z2 is on the object side A1 at point M in
FIG. 2. Accordingly, since the extension line EL of the ray
intersects the optical axis I on the object side A1 of the lens
element 200, periphery region Z2 is concave. In the lens element
200 illustrated in FIG. 2, the first transition point TP1 is the
border of the optical axis region and the periphery region, i.e.,
TP1 is the point at which the shape changes from convex to
concave.
[0074] Alternatively, there is another way for a person having
ordinary skill in the art to determine whether an optical axis
region is convex or concave by referring to the sign of "Radius"
(the "R" value), which is the paraxial radius of shape of a lens
surface in the optical axis region. The R value is commonly used in
conventional optical design software such as Zemax and CodeV. The R
value usually appears in the lens data sheet in the software. For
an object-side surface, a positive R value defines that the optical
axis region of the object-side surface is convex, and a negative R
value defines that the optical axis region of the object-side
surface is concave. Conversely, for an image-side surface, a
positive R value defines that the optical axis region of the
image-side surface is concave, and a negative R value defines that
the optical axis region of the image-side surface is convex. The
result found by using this method should be consistent with the
method utilizing intersection of the optical axis by rays/extension
lines mentioned above, which determines surface shape by referring
to whether the focal point of a collimated ray being parallel to
the optical axis I is on the object-side or the image-side of a
lens element. As used herein, the terms "a shape of a region is
convex (concave)," "a region is convex (concave)," and "a convex-
(concave-) region," can be used alternatively.
[0075] FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 illustrate examples of determining
the shape of lens element regions and the boundaries of regions
under various circumstances, including the optical axis region, the
periphery region, and intermediate regions as set forth in the
present specification.
[0076] FIG. 3 is a radial cross-sectional view of a lens element
300. As illustrated in FIG. 3, only one transition point TP1
appears within the optical boundary OB of the image-side surface
320 of the lens element 300. Optical axis region Z1 and periphery
region Z2 of the image-side surface 320 of lens element 300 are
illustrated. The R value of the image-side surface 320 is positive
(i.e., R>0). Accordingly, the optical axis region Z1 is
concave.
[0077] In general, the shape of each region demarcated by the
transition point will have an opposite shape to the shape of the
adjacent region(s). Accordingly, the transition point will define a
transition in shape, changing from concave to convex at the
transition point or changing from convex to concave. In FIG. 3,
since the shape of the optical axis region Z1 is concave, the shape
of the periphery region Z2 will be convex as the shape changes at
the transition point TP1.
[0078] FIG. 4 is a radial cross-sectional view of a lens element
400. Referring to FIG. 4, a first transition point TP1 and a second
transition point TP2 are present on the object-side surface 410 of
lens element 400. The optical axis region Z1 of the object-side
surface 410 is defined between the optical axis I and the first
transition point TP1. The R value of the object-side surface 410 is
positive (i.e., R>0). Accordingly, the optical axis region Z1 is
convex.
[0079] The periphery region Z2 of the object-side surface 410,
which is also convex, is defined between the second transition
point TP2 and the optical boundary OB of the object-side surface
410 of the lens element 400. Further, intermediate region Z3 of the
object-side surface 410, which is concave, is defined between the
first transition point TP1 and the second transition point TP2.
Referring once again to FIG. 4, the object-side surface 410
includes an optical axis region Z1 located between the optical axis
I and the first transition point TP1, an intermediate region Z3
located between the first transition point TP1 and the second
transition point TP2, and a periphery region Z2 located between the
second transition point TP2 and the optical boundary OB of the
object-side surface 410. Since the shape of the optical axis region
Z1 is designed to be convex, the shape of the intermediate region
Z3 is concave as the shape of the intermediate region Z3 changes at
the first transition point TP1, and the shape of the periphery
region Z2 is convex as the shape of the periphery region Z2 changes
at the second transition point TP2.
[0080] FIG. 5 is a radial cross-sectional view of a lens element
500. Lens element 500 has no transition point on the object-side
surface 510 of the lens element 500. For a surface of a lens
element with no transition point, for example, the object-side
surface 510 the lens element 500, the optical axis region Z1 is
defined as the region between 0-50% of the distance between the
optical axis I and the optical boundary OB of the surface of the
lens element and the periphery region is defined as the region
between 50%-100% of the distance between the optical axis I and the
optical boundary OB of the surface of the lens element. Referring
to lens element 500 illustrated in FIG. 5, the optical axis region
Z1 of the object-side surface 510 is defined between the optical
axis I and 50% of the distance between the optical axis I and the
optical boundary OB. The R value of the object-side surface 510 is
positive (i.e., R>0). Accordingly, the optical axis region Z1 is
convex. For the object-side surface 510 of the lens element 500,
because there is no transition point, the periphery region Z2 of
the object-side surface 510 is also convex. It should be noted that
lens element 500 may have a mounting portion (not shown) extending
radially outward from the periphery region Z2.
[0081] According to an embodiment of the optical imaging lens of
the present disclosure, an optical imaging lens may comprise a
first lens element, a second lens element, a third lens element, a
fourth lens element and a fifth lens element sequentially from an
object side to an image side along an optical axis. The first lens
element to the fifth lens element may each comprise an object-side
surface facing toward the object side and allowing imaging rays to
pass through and an image-side surface facing toward the image side
and allowing the imaging rays to pass through. By designing the
following detail features of lens elements incorporated one
another, the length and the focal length of the optical imaging
lens may be effectively shortened, and the field of view of the
optical imaging lens may be effectively extended while maintaining
good optical characteristics.
[0082] In some embodiments of the optical imaging lens of the
present disclosure, the first lens element is set to be a lens
element having refracting power in a first order from the object
side to the image side and have positive refracting power; the
second lens element is set to be a lens element having refracting
power in a second order from the object side to the image side; the
third lens element is set to be a lens element having refracting
power in a third order from the object side to the image side; the
fourth lens element is set to be a lens element having refracting
power in a fourth order from the object side to the image side; the
fifth lens element is set to be a lens element having refracting
power in a fifth order from the object side to the image side and
have positive refracting power; a periphery region of the
image-side surface of the fifth lens element is set to be convex;
the optical imaging lens is set to be a fixed-focus lens; and the
optical imaging lens is set to satisfy the following three
combinations, such that the focal length of the optical imaging
lens is increased while the distance between the second lens
element and the fifth lens element is shortened to improve the
assembly. In addition, the optical imaging lens being a fixed-focus
lens may be beneficial for maintaining the effective radius of the
second lens element to the fifth lens element to be less than or
equal to 2 mm, so as to meet the size of the lens for the portable
electronic device: [0083] First combination: a periphery region of
the image-side surface of the second lens element is set to be
concave and the optical imaging lens is set to satisfy Inequality
(1): (T2+G23+T3+G34+T4+G45+T5)/G12.ltoreq.2.700; [0084] Second
combination: the optical imaging lens is set to satisfy Inequality
(1): (T2+G23+T3+G34+T4+G45+T5)/G12.ltoreq.2.700 and Inequality (2):
HFOV/Fno 4.200.degree.; and [0085] Third combination: the optical
imaging lens is set to satisfy Inequality (2): HFOV/Fno
4.200.degree. and Inequality (3):
(T2+G23+T3+G34+T4+G45+T5)/(T1+G12).ltoreq.2.200.
[0086] The further restrictions for Inequalities (1), (2) and (3)
defined below may constitute better configuration:
1.200.ltoreq.(T2+G23+T3+G34+T4+G45+T5)/G12.ltoreq.2.700,
1.600.degree. HFOV/Fno 4.200.degree. and
0.640.ltoreq.(T2+G23+T3+G34+T4+G45+T5)/(T1+G12).ltoreq.2.200.
[0087] Moreover, the optical imaging lens satisfying Inequalities
(4), (5) and (6), V1>V2+V5, V3>V2+V5 and V4>V2+V5,
cooperated with the limitation of the surface shape of the lens
elements may be beneficial for correcting chromatic aberration of
the optical system, and reducing the distance between the second
lens element and the fifth lens element may be beneficial for
improving the assembly and yield.
[0088] In some embodiments of the optical imaging lens of the
present disclosure, to maintain appropriate values of the thickness
of each lens element and gaps between the lens elements for
preventing optical imaging lens parameters that are too large to
allow the length of the optical imaging lens to be sufficiently
shortened, and preventing optical imaging lens parameters that are
too small to interfere with assembly of the optical imaging lens
and the difficulty of manufacture.

[0195] FIGS. 50A, 50B and 50C show the values of optical parameters
of all embodiments, and it may be clear that the optical imaging
lens of any one of the eleven embodiments may satisfy the
Inequalities (1)-(20).
[0196] According to above disclosure, the longitudinal spherical
aberration, the field curvature aberration and the variation of the
distortion aberration of each embodiment may meet the use
requirements of various electronic products which implement an
optical imaging lens. Moreover, the off-axis light with respect to
470 nm, 555 nm and 650 nm wavelengths may be focused around an
image point, and the offset of the off-axis light for each curve
relative to the image point may be controlled to effectively
inhibit the longitudinal spherical aberration, the field curvature
aberration and/or the variation of the distortion aberration.
Further, as shown by the imaging quality data provided for each
embodiment, the distance between the 470 nm, 555 nm and 650 nm
wavelengths may indicate that focusing ability and inhibiting
ability for dispersion may be provided for different
wavelengths.
[0197] While various embodiments in accordance with the disclosed
principles are described above, it should be understood that they
are presented by way of example only, and are not limiting. Thus,
the breadth and scope of exemplary embodiment(s) should not be
limited by any of the above-described embodiments, but should be
defined only in accordance with the claims and their equivalents
issuing from this disclosure. Furthermore, the above advantages and
features are provided in described embodiments, but shall not limit
the application of such issued claims to processes and structures
accomplishing any or all of the above advantages.
[0198] Additionally, the section headings herein are provided for
consistency with the suggestions under 37 C.F.R. 1.77 or otherwise
to provide organizational cues. These headings shall not limit or
characterize the invention(s) set out in any claims that may issue
from this disclosure. Specifically, a description of a technology
in the "Background" is not to be construed as an admission that
technology is prior art to any invention(s) in this disclosure.
Furthermore, any reference in this disclosure to "invention" in the
singular should not be used to argue that there is only a single
point of novelty in this disclosure. Multiple inventions may be set
forth according to the limitations of the multiple claims issuing
from this disclosure, and such claims accordingly define the
invention(s), and their equivalents, that are protected thereby. In
all instances, the scope of such claims shall be considered on
their own merits in light of this disclosure, but should not be
constrained by the headings herein.
