[0038] Throughout the accompanying drawings and detailed embodiments, the same reference numerals refer to the same elements. For purposes of clarity, illustration, and convenience, the drawings may not be drawn to scale, and the relative dimensions, scale, and depiction of elements in the drawings may be exaggerated. Detailed Implementation

[0039] The following detailed embodiments are provided to help readers gain a comprehensive understanding of the methods, apparatus, and / or systems described in this application. However, various changes, modifications, and equivalents to the methods, apparatus, and / or systems described in this application will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. The order of operations described in this application is merely illustrative, and is not limited to the order set forth herein, except for operations that must occur in a specific order, and can be varied, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Furthermore, for clarity and conciseness, descriptions of functions and structures well-known to those skilled in the art may be omitted.

[0040] The features described in this application may be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the examples described herein. Rather, the examples described herein are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of this disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0041] It should be noted that in this application, the use of the word "may" with respect to examples or implementations, for example, with respect to what an example or implementation may include or implement, means that there exists at least one example or implementation that includes or implements such features, and that all examples and implementations are not limited thereto.

[0042] Throughout this specification, when an element such as a layer, region, or substrate is described as being "on," "connected to," or "attached to" another element, the element may be directly "on," directly "connected to," or directly "attached to" the other element, or there may be one or more other elements between the element and the other element. Conversely, when an element is described as being "directly on," "directly connected to," or "directly attached to" another element, there may be no other elements between the element and the other element.

[0043] As used in this application, the term "and / or" includes any one of the associated listed items and any combination of any two or more items.

[0044] Although terms such as "first," "second," and "third" may be used in this application to describe various components, parts, regions, layers, or portions, these components, parts, regions, layers, or portions are not limited by these terms. Rather, these terms are used only to distinguish one component, part, region, layer, or portion from another. Therefore, without departing from the teachings of the examples described in this application, the first component, first part, first region, first layer, or first portion mentioned in the examples may also be referred to as a second component, second part, second region, second layer, or second portion.

[0045] Spatial relative terms such as “above,” “above,” “below,” and “below” may be used in this application for descriptive convenience to describe the relationship of one element relative to another, as shown in the accompanying drawings. In addition to covering the orientation depicted in the drawings, these spatial relative terms are intended to also cover different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the drawings is flipped, an element described as “above” or “above” another element would be “below” or “below” that other element. Thus, depending on the spatial orientation of the device, the term “above” covers both “above” and “below” orientations. The device may also be oriented in other ways (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative terms used in this application should be interpreted accordingly.

[0046] The terminology used in this application is for describing various examples only and is not intended to limit this disclosure. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the articles “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural form as well. The terms “comprising,” “including,” and “having” describe the presence of the stated features, numbers, operations, components, elements, and / or combinations thereof, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, operations, components, elements, and / or combinations thereof.

[0047] Due to manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances, variations in the shapes shown in the accompanying drawings may occur. Therefore, the examples described in this application are not limited to the specific shapes shown in the accompanying drawings, but include shape variations that may occur during manufacturing.

[0048] The features of the examples described in this application can be combined in various ways that will become apparent after understanding the disclosure of this application. Furthermore, although the examples described in this application have multiple configurations, other configurations that will become apparent after understanding the disclosure of this application are also possible.

[0049] In the accompanying drawings, the thickness, size, and shape of the lenses have been slightly exaggerated for ease of explanation. In particular, the shapes of the spherical or aspherical surfaces shown in the drawings are merely illustrative. That is, the shapes of the spherical or aspherical surfaces are not limited to those shown in the drawings.

[0050] In this application, the first lens refers to the lens closest to the object, while the eighth lens refers to the lens closest to the image sensor.

[0051] The first surface of each lens refers to the surface (or object-side surface) closest to the object, and the second surface of each lens refers to the surface (or image-side surface) closest to the image. Furthermore, all values ​​for the radius of curvature and lens thickness or distance are expressed in millimeters (mm), and the field of view (FOV) is expressed in degrees.

[0052] Furthermore, in the description of the shape of each lens, "a surface of the lens is convex" means that the paraxial region of the corresponding surface is convex, and "a surface of the lens is concave" means that the paraxial region of the corresponding surface is concave. Therefore, even when describing a surface of the lens as convex, the edge portion of the lens may be concave. Similarly, even when describing a surface of the lens as concave, the edge portion of the lens may be convex.

[0053] The paraxial region refers to a very narrow region that includes the optical axis.

[0054] The optical imaging system, according to the various examples, may include eight lenses.

[0055] For example, an optical imaging system may include a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, a seventh lens, and an eighth lens arranged sequentially from the object side. The first lens through the eighth lens are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance along the optical axis.

[0056] However, optical imaging systems are not limited to just eight lenses; other components may be included if necessary.

[0057] For example, an optical imaging system may also include an image sensor that converts an image of an object incident on an image sensor into an electrical signal.

[0058] The optical imaging system may also include an infrared filter (hereinafter referred to as the "filter") that blocks infrared light. The filter may be positioned between the eighth lens and the image sensor.

[0061] At least one of the first to eighth lenses may have an aspherical surface. Furthermore, each of the first to eighth lenses may have at least one aspherical surface.

[0062] At least one of the first and second surfaces of all lenses from the first to the eighth can be aspherical. The aspherical surfaces of lenses from the first to the eighth can be represented by the following Equation 1: Equation 1

[0063] In Equation 1, c is the curvature of the lens (the reciprocal of the radius of curvature), K is the conic constant, and Y is the distance from a point on the aspherical surface of the lens to the optical axis. Additionally, constants A to I are aspherical coefficients. Furthermore, Z is the distance from a point on the aspherical surface of the lens to the tangent plane intersecting the vertex of the aspherical surface.

[0064] An optical imaging system includes a first lens to an eighth lens, which sequentially possess positive refractive power / positive refractive power / positive refractive power / negative refractive power / positive refractive power / negative refractive power / positive refractive power / negative refractive power from the object side. Optionally, the first lens to the eighth lens may possess negative refractive power / positive refractive power / positive refractive power / negative refractive power / positive refractive power / positive refractive power / negative refractive power. Optionally, the first lens to the eighth lens may possess positive refractive power / negative refractive power / positive refractive power / negative refractive power / positive refractive power / negative refractive power / positive refractive power / negative refractive power.

[0065] The optical imaging systems in each example can satisfy the following conditional expressions: Conditional expression 1: f / EPD < 1.9 Conditional expression 2: FOV > 70° Conditional expression 3: TTL / (2 IMG HT) < 0.9 In the conditional expression, f is the total focal length of the optical imaging system, EPD is the entrance pupil diameter, FOV is the field of view of the optical imaging system, TTL is the optical axis distance from the object side of the first lens to the image capturing surface of the image sensor, and IMG HT is half the diagonal length of the image capturing surface of the image sensor.
