[0051] It should be noted that in this specification, the expressions such as first, second, third, etc. are only used to distinguish one feature from another feature and do not represent any limitation on the features. Therefore, without departing from the teachings of the present invention, the first lens discussed below may also be referred to as the second lens or the third lens.

[0053] In this text, the paraxial region refers to the region near the optical axis. If the lens surface is convex and the position of the convex surface is not defined, it means that the lens surface is convex at least in the paraxial region; if the lens surface is concave and the position of the concave surface is not defined, it means that the lens surface is concave at least in the paraxial region. The surface of each lens closest to the object to be photographed is called the object side surface of the lens, and the surface of each lens closest to the imaging surface is called the image side surface of the lens.
[0054] It should also be understood that the terms "comprising", "comprising of", "having", "containing" and / or "containing of", when used in this specification, indicate the presence of the stated features, elements and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, elements, components and / or combinations thereof. In addition, when an expression such as "at least one of..." appears after a list of listed features, it modifies the entire list of listed features, rather than an individual element in the list. In addition, when describing the embodiments of the present application, the use of "may" means "one or more embodiments of the present application". And, the term "exemplary" is intended to refer to an example or illustration.
[0055] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. It should also be understood that terms (such as those defined in a common dictionary) should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art, and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.
