Image capturing optical lens assembly, image capturing device and mobile terminal

Abstract

An image capturing optical lens assembly includes, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens element, a second lens element, a third lens element, a fourth lens element and a fifth lens element. The first lens element with positive refractive power has an object-side surface being convex in a paraxial region thereof. The second lens element has negative refractive power. The third lens element has refractive power. The forth lens element with positive refractive power has an object-side surface being convex in a paraxial region thereof and an image-side surface being concave or planar in a paraxial region thereof. The fifth lens element with negative refractive power has an object-side surface being concave in a paraxial region thereof and an image-side surface being concave in a paraxial region thereof.

Description of Related Art[0005]In recent years, with the popularity of mobile terminals having camera functionalities, the demand of miniaturized optical systems has been increasing. The sensor of a conventional optical system is typically a CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) or a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) sensor. As the advanced semiconductor manufacturing technologies have allowed the pixel size of sensors to be reduced and compact optical systems have gradually evolved tow...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a technique for designing an image capturing optical lens assembly that meets certain conditions to reduce the back focal length and allow for sufficient arranging space under limited total track length. The technique also includes a method for manufacturing and assembling the lens elements to increase the manufacturing yield rate. The main technical effect of this technique is to provide a compact and efficient image capturing optical lens assembly that can be easily assembled.

Problems solved by technology

However, the conventional optical systems cannot satisfy these requirements of the compact optical systems.

However, it is not favorable for correcting to high-order aberration and manufacturing the lens elements, since the fourth lens element with positive refractive power usually has an image-side surface being convex which might result in excessively high curvature.

Moreover, it is unfavorable for arranging the lens elements under a compact optical system size which might lead to a worse image quality due to interference or stray light.
