Zoom lens and digital camera and portable information apparatus

Abstract

A zoom lens in the present invention is composed of a first lens group G1 having a fixed distance from the image plane side and negative refracting power, a second lens group G2 having positive refracting power and moving during zooming, a third lens group G3 having positive refracting power and moving during zooming, and a fourth lens group G4 having a fixed distance from the image plane side and positive refracting power. The first, the second, the third and the fourth lens groups G1-G4 are arranged in order from the object side to the image plane side. The third lens group G3 includes an aperture stop s, a lens 13 having positive refracting power and a lens 14 having negative refracting power, being arranged in order from the object side to the image plane side. The zoom lens is high performance and large in zoom ratio and is compact due to the simple structure.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a small-sized zoom lens, and particularly to a zoom lens that is included in a hand-held terminal and a mobile phone and has excellent portability due to a reduction in the overall length of the lens, and also to a digital camera and a portable lens using the zoom lens information equipment. Background technique

[0002] In recent years, hand-held terminals such as PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), mobile phones, etc. have spread, and most of them carry imaging devices such as digital cameras. These imaging devices use small-sized CCD (Charge Coupled Device) and CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) sensors to achieve miniaturization. As these devices spread, imaging devices are required to be smaller and to achieve high definition and high performance, with the result that zoom lenses are mounted on thin castings such as mobile phones.
