When the above conditional expression (1) is satisfied, it is possible to keep the total length of the imaging lens short and also the field curvature and coma aberration stable. When the value exceeds the upper limit “1.4”, the focal length of the first lens increases, so that it is difficult to attain a small-sized imaging lens. On the other hand, if it is below the lower limit “0.7”, the refractive power of the first lens is too strong, so that it is difficult to secure the back focal length. In order to secure a certain back focal length, it is necessary to increase the refractive power of the third lens. When the value is below the lower limit “0.7”, even if it is possible to attain a small-sized imaging lens, it is difficult to correct the field curvature and correct coma aberration, so that it is difficult to attain both a small-sized imaging lens and satisfactory aberration correction.
Furthermore, according to the imaging lens with the aforementioned configuration, when the first lens has a focal length f1 and the second lens has a focal length f2, it is preferred to satisfy the following conditional expression (2):
0.2<|f1/f2|<0.6 (2)
When the above conditional expression (2) is satisfied, it is possible to keep the axial chromatic aberration and spherical aberration stable. When the value exceeds the upper limit “0.6”, since the refractive power of the second lens increases, the axial chromatic aberration is in the plus direction in relative to that of a reference wavelength and is excessively corrected. In addition, the spherical aberration is in the plus direction at a ring zone section and is excessively corrected.
As a result, it is difficult to keep the axial chromatic aberration and spherical aberration stable. On the other hand, when the value is below the lower limit “0.2”, since the refractive power of the second lens decreases, the axial chromatic aberration is in the minus direction in relative to that of the reference wavelength and is insufficiently corrected. In addition, even the spherical aberration is in the minus direction at the ring zone section and is similarly insufficiently corrected. Therefore, even in this case, it is difficult to keep the axial chromatic aberration and spherical aberration stable, and it is difficult to obtain satisfactory imaging performance.
Moreover, in case of the imaging lens with the aforementioned configuration, when Abbe's number of the first lens is νd1 and Abbe's number of the second lens is νd2, it is more preferred to satisfy the following conditional expression (3):
15<νd1−νd2 (3)
When the above conditional expression (3) is satisfied, it is possible to keep the axial chromatic aberration and off-axis chromatic aberration stable while satisfactorily correcting those chromatic aberrations. If the conditional expression (3) is not satisfied, the axial chromatic aberrations at short wavelengths increase in the minus direction in relative to that of the reference wavelength, and the aberration is insufficiently corrected.
When the Abbe's number of the third lens is set to a small value in order to improve such insufficient correction of chromatic aberration, the axial chromatic aberration is satisfactorily corrected, but the off-axis chromatic aberration of magnification is excessively corrected and worsened.
Further, in case of the imaging lens with the aforementioned configuration, when the whole lens system has a focal length f and the fourth lens has a focal length f4, it is more preferred to satisfy the following conditional expression (4):
0.4<f4/f<1.0 (4)
In case of an imaging element such as a CCD sensor and a CMOS sensor, there is a limit in an acceptance angle of an incoming light beam due to its structure. Generally speaking, this limit in the acceptance angle of an incoming light beam is provided as certain range around principal light beam (e.g. ±25° of the principal light beam).
When an angle of emergence of the off-axis principal light beam is outside the limitation range, since a sensor does not take a light beam outside the range therein, a resultant image taken through the imaging lens has a periphery that is dark in comparison with a center part. In other words, a shading phenomenon occurs.
When the aforementioned conditional expression (4) is satisfied, it is possible to keep the maximum angle of emergence of the off-axis principal light beam small while keeping each aberration stable. When the value exceeds the upper limit “1.0”, since the refractive power of the fourth lens decreases, while it is easy to correct the coma aberration and the chromatic aberration of magnification, the maximum angle of emergence of the off-axis principal light beam becomes large and a shading phenomenon more easily occurs. On the other hand, when the value is below the lower limit “0.4”, since the refractive power of the fourth lens increases, although it is possible to reduce the maximum angle of emergence of the off-axis principal light beam, it is difficult to correct the field curvature and the distortion.
Moreover, in the imaging lens with the aforementioned configuration, when the whole lens system has a focal length f and a distance on the optical axis from a surface of the first lens on the object side to a surface of the fifth lens on the image side is Σd, it is preferred to satisfy the following conditional expression (5) also in view of miniaturization of an imaging lens:
Σd/f<1.2 (5)
In addition, in the imaging lens with the aforementioned configuration, when the whole lens system has a focal length f and the fifth lens has a focal length f5, it is preferred to satisfy the following conditional expression (6):
|f5/f|<1.0 (6)
As well known, as an effective means to attain miniaturization of an imaging lens, it may be possible to reduce a focal length of a lens. Actually, this approach has been employed in designing many imaging lenses. However, when a focal length decreases while keeping an ideal image height constant, the angle of emergence of the off-axis light beam increases, and it is more difficult to balance among aberrations including a spherical aberration, a chromatic aberration, distortion, and a field curvature. Therefore, it is necessary to attain miniaturization of an imaging lens while keeping the focal length long.
When the imaging lens has a configuration that satisfies the conditional expression (6), a position of a principal point of the optical system moves towards the object side, so that it is possible to attain miniaturization of an imaging lens while keeping the focal length long. Here, it is effective to satisfy the conditional expression (5) also as a means to supplement insufficient correction of axial chromatic aberration.
According to the imaging lens of the invention, it is possible to both reduce the size of the imaging lens and correct the aberration properly, thereby making it possible to provide the imaging lens with the small size capable of correcting aberrations properly.
Hereunder, referring to the accompanying drawings, a first embodiment of the present invention will be fully described.
As shown in
In the imaging lens with the above-described configuration, the first lens L1 is a biconvex lens, and the second lens L2 is a meniscus lens that directs a concave surface on the object side. These first lens L1 and the second lens L2 satisfy the following conditional expressions (1) to (3):
0.7<f12/f<1.4 (1)
0.2<|f1/f2|<0.6 (2)
15<νd1−νd2 (3)
In the above conditional expressions,
f: Focal length of the whole lens system
f1: Focal length of the first lens L1
f2: Focal length of the second lens L2
f12: Composite focal length of the first lens L1 and the second lens L2
νd1: Abbe's number of the first lens L1
νd2: Abbe's number of the second lens L2
When the conditional expressions (1) to (3) are satisfied, it is possible to obtain the following effects respectively. When the conditional expression (1) is satisfied, it is possible to keep the field curvature and coma aberration stable while keeping the whole length of the imaging lens short. In addition, when the conditional expression (2) is satisfied, it is possible to keep the axial chromatic aberration and spherical aberration stable. Furthermore, when the conditional expression (3) is satisfied, it is possible to keep the axial chromatic aberration and off-axis chromatic aberration stable while properly correcting those chromatic aberrations.
In such configuration, according to this embodiment, the third lens L3 is shaped to form a meniscus lens that directs a concave surface on the object side and the fourth lens L4 is shaped to form a biconvex lens.
The fifth lens L5 is shaped to form a biconcave lens. In this fifth lens L5, a surface thereof on the image side is shaped to form an aspheric shape, which is concaved on the image side near the optical axis and is convex on the image side at the periphery, i.e. aspheric shape having an inflection point. Because of this, an incident angle of a light beam emitted from the fifth lens L5 to an image plane is restrained.
In the embodiment, the lens surfaces of all lenses are formed to be an aspheric surface as necessary.
When the aspheric surface applied to the lens surfaces have an axis Z in the optical axis direction, a height H in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis, a conical coefficient k, and the aspheric coefficients A4, A6, A8, and A10, the aspheric surfaces of the lens surfaces may be expressed as follows. Here, even in case of an imaging lens according to a second embodiment, which will be described later, the lens surfaces of all lenses are formed to be an aspheric surface as necessary, and aspheric surface shapes applied in theses lens surfaces are expressed by the following formula similarly to this embodiment:
The imaging lens according to this embodiment satisfies the following conditional expressions (4) to (6) in addition to the aforementioned conditional expressions (1) to (3):
0.4<f4/f<1.0 (4)
Σd/f<1.2 (5)
|f5/f|<1.0 (6)
In the above conditional expressions,
f: Focal length of the whole lens system
f4: Focal length of the fourth lens L4
f5: Focal length of the fifth lens L5
Σd: Distance on the optical axis from a surface of the first lens L1 on the object side to a surface of the fifth lens L5 on the image side.
When the conditional expressions (4) to (6) are satisfied, it is possible to obtain the following effects respectively. When the conditional expression (4) is satisfied, it is possible to keep the maximum angle of emergence of the off-axis principal light beam small, while keeping each aberration stable. In addition, when the conditional expression (5) is satisfied, it is possible to attain miniaturization of the imaging lens. Furthermore, when the conditional expression (6) is satisfied, it is possible to attain miniaturization of the imaging lens while keeping the focal length long.
Here, it is not necessary to satisfy all of the above conditional expressions (1) to (6). When any single one of the conditional expressions (1) to (6) is individually satisfied, it is possible to obtain an effect corresponding to the respective conditional expression.
Next, Numerical Data Examples of the embodiment will be described. In each of Numerical Data Examples, f represents a focal length of a whole lens system, Fno represents an F number, and ω represents a half angle of view, respectively. In addition, i represents a surface number counted from the object side, R represents a curvature radius, d represents a distance between lens surfaces (an on-axis surface spacing) along the optical axis, Nd represents a refractive index for a d line, and νd represents Abbe's number at the d line. Here, the aspheric surfaces are indicated with surface numbers affixed with * (asterisk).

Accordingly, when the imaging lens of the respective embodiments is applied to an imaging optical system of a cellular phone, a digital still camera, a portable information terminal, a security camera, an onboard camera, a network camera, and the like, it is possible to obtain the high performance and the small size for the camera or the like.
Here, it is noted that the imaging lens of the invention shall not be limited to the above-described embodiments. For example, in the above embodiments, the fifth lens L5 is configured to have an inflection point so as to restrain the incident angle of a light beam into an imaging element. However, if there is some allowance in the incident angle of a light beam into the imaging element and it is not necessary to provide an inflection point to the fifth lens L5, a lens surface of the fifth lens L5 may be formed in a aspheric shape that does not have an inflection point, or one surface or both surfaces of the fifth lens L5 may be formed with a spherical surface(s).
The invention may be applicable to the imaging lens of a device that is required to have a small size and satisfactory aberration correction ability, e.g., the imaging lenses used in the cellular phones, the digital still cameras, and the like.
