A compact optical system includes, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens element, a second lens element and a third lens element. The compact optical system has a total of three lens elements with refractive power. The first lens element, the second lens element and the third lens element can all be stationary relative to one another in a paraxial region thereof. For example, in some embodiments, an air gap in a paraxial region is located between every two of the first lens element, the second lens element and the third lens element that are adjacent to each other, and the air gaps are all constant.

Preferably, the following condition is satisfied: f/ImgH<0.55. More preferably, the following condition is satisfied: f/ImgH<0.45.
When a refractive index of the first lens element is N1, a refractive index of the second lens element is N2, a refractive index of the third lens element is N3, the following condition is satisfied: 4.70<N1+N2+N3<5.50.

According to the present disclosure, the compact optical system further comprises a stop located between the first lens element and the second lens element. When an axial distance between the stop and an object-side surface of the second lens element is Dsr3, an axial distance between the stop and the object-side surface of the third lens element is Dsr5, the following condition is satisfied: 0<|Dsr3/Dsr5|<0.50.

Therefore, it is favorable for further keeping the compact optical system compact. As seen in
When a curvature radius of the object-side surface of the third lens element is R5, a curvature radius of the image-side surface of the third lens element is R6, the following condition can be satisfied: (R5+R6)/(R5−R6)<0.90. Therefore, it is favorable for avoiding excessive astigmatism and spherical aberration of the compact optical system so as to improve the image quality.

When the axial distance between the imaged object and the image surface is OTL, the following condition can be satisfied: OTL<8.0 millimeters (mm).

Therefore, it is favorable for correcting the chromatic aberration of the compact optical system.
When the focal length of the compact optical system is f, an entrance pupil diameter of the compact optical system is EPD, the following condition can be satisfied: f/EPD<2.60. Therefore, it is favorable for obtaining a large aperture for receiving sufficient incoming light, thereby increasing the image quality in a low light condition.
When the focal length of the compact optical system is f, a focal length of the first lens element is f1, a focal length of the second lens element is f2, a focal length of the third lens element is f3, the following condition can be satisfied: |f/f1|+|f/f2|+|f/f3|<1.1.

When an axial distance between the first lens element and the second lens element is T12, the central thickness of the first lens element is CT1, the following condition can be satisfied: 1.50<T12/CT1<10. Therefore, it is favorable for assembling the compact optical system so as to increase the manufacturing yield rate.
When an axial distance between the imaged object and the object-side surface of the first lens element is OL, an axial distance between the object-side surface of the first lens element and the image surface is TL, the following condition can be satisfied: 0<OL/TL<1.0. Therefore, it is favorable for reducing the required distance for image capturing between the imaged object and the compact optical system so as to keep the compact optical system compact. As seen in
When an axial distance between the object-side surface of the first lens element and the image-side surface of the third lens element is TD, the focal length of the compact optical system is f, the following condition can be satisfied: 8<TD/f<30. Therefore, it is favorable for tightly arranging the lens elements so as to reduce a total track length of the compact optical system.
According to the compact optical system of the present disclosure, an aperture stop can be configured as a middle stop. A middle stop disposed between the first lens element and the image surface is favorable for enlarging the field of view of the compact optical system and thereby provides a wider field of view for the same.
According to the compact optical 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 compact optical system may be more flexible to design. When the lens elements are made of plastic material, the manufacturing cost can be effectively reduced. Furthermore, surfaces of each lens element can be arranged to be aspheric or spherical. The aspheric surface of the lens element is easy to form a shape other than spherical surface so as to have more controllable variables for eliminating the aberration thereof, and to further decrease the required number of the lens elements. Therefore, the total track length of the compact optical system can also be reduced.
According to the compact optical system of the present disclosure, each of an object-side surface and an image-side surface has a paraxial region and an off-axis region. The paraxial region refers to the region of the surface where light rays travel close to the optical axis, and the off-axis region refers to the region of the surface away from the paraxial region. Particularly, when the lens element has a convex surface, it indicates that the surface is convex in the paraxial region thereof; when the lens element has a concave surface, it indicates that the surface is concave in the paraxial region thereof. Moreover, when a region of refractive power or focus of a lens element is not defined, it indicates that the region of refractive power or focus of the lens element is in the paraxial region thereof.
According to the compact optical system of the present disclosure, an image surface of the compact optical system, based on the corresponding image sensor, can be flat or curved, especially a curved surface being concave facing towards the object side of the compact optical system.
According to the compact optical system of the present disclosure, the compact optical system can include at least one stop, such as an aperture stop, a glare stop or a field stop. Said glare stop or said field stop is set for eliminating the stray light and thereby improving the image quality thereof.
According to the present disclosure, an image capturing unit is provided.

The foregoing image capturing unit is able to be installed in, but not limited to, an electronic device, including smart phones, tablet personal computers, wearable apparatus and driving assist devices. According to the present disclosure, the compact optical system has a total of three lens elements with refractive power. In order to satisfy the requirements of compact size and wide field of view when the imaged object is extremely close to the compact optical system, the first lens element has negative refractive power, and the third lens element has positive refractive power. Therefore, it is favorable for providing the compact optical system with retrofocus performance so as to reduce the chief ray angle of the compact optical system, thereby providing the compact optical system with enhanced telecentric performance. Furthermore, when specific conditions are satisfied, it is favorable for collecting the light with large incident angle so as to allow the compact optical system to capture a wide field of view and recognize an imaged object while the distance between the imaged object and the compact optical system is extremely close. Moreover, it is favorable for reducing a required distance for imaging capturing between the imaged object and the compact optical system so as to keep the compact optical system compact.
The foregoing description, for the purpose of explanation, has been described with reference to specific embodiments. It is to be noted that TABLES 1-20 show different data of the different embodiments; however, the data of the different embodiments are obtained from experiments. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the disclosure and its practical applications, to thereby enable others skilled in the art to best utilize the disclosure and various embodiments with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated. The embodiments depicted above and the appended drawings are exemplary and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the scope of the present disclosure to the precise forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations are possible in view of the above teachings.
