[0002] In recent years, with the rise of smart devices, the demand for miniaturized imaging lenses has increased. The photosensitive element of a general imaging lens is limited to a charge coupled device (CCD) or a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor sensor (CMOS sensor).

[0019] In order to make the objectives, technical means and advantages of the present invention clearer, various embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can understand that many technical details are proposed in various embodiments of the present invention to allow readers to better understand the present invention. However, even without these technical details and various modifications and changes based on the following embodiments, the technical solution claimed to be protected by the present invention can be realized.

[0020] (First embodiment) With reference to the accompanying drawings, the present invention provides an imaging optical lens 10. Fig. 1 shows an imaging optical lens 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and the imaging optical lens 10 includes seven lenses. Specifically, the imaging optical lens 10 includes, in order from the object side to the image side, a first lens L1, a second lens L2, a third lens L3, an aperture S1, a fourth lens L4, a fifth lens L5, a sixth lens L6, a seventh lens L7, and an image plane Si. In addition, an optical element such as an optical filter GF may be provided between the seventh lens L7 and the image plane Si.

[0021] In this embodiment, the first lens L1 and the fourth lens L4 are all made of a glass material, and the second lens L2, the third lens L3, the fifth lens L5, the sixth lens L6 and the seventh lens L7 are all made of a plastic material.

[0022] The focal length of the entire imaging optical lens is defined as f, and the focal length of the fourth lens L4 is defined as f4, and the following relationship is satisfied: 0.95≦f4 / f≦1.40. By defining the ratio of the focal length of the fourth lens L4 to the focal length of the entire system, the amount of field curvature of the system can be effectively balanced, and the field curvature offset of the central field can be less than 0.02 mm.

[0023] If the axial thickness of the sixth lens L6 is defined as d11 and the axial distance from the image side of the sixth lens L6 to the object side surface of the seventh lens L7 is defined as d12, the following relational expression is satisfied: 0.30≦d11 / d12≦1.00. By specifying the ratio between the center thickness of the sixth lens L6 and the air space from the sixth lens L6 to the seventh lens L7 (i.e., the axial thickness of the sixth lens L6 and the axial distance from the image side of the sixth lens L6 to the object side surface of the seventh lens L7), it is possible to reduce the difficulty of assembling the lenses in the actual production process within the range of the conditional expression.

[0024] If the radius of curvature of the object side surface of the first lens L1 is defined as R1 and the radius of curvature of the image side of the first lens L1 is defined as R2, the following relational expression is satisfied: 3.00≦R1 / R2≦12.00. By defining the shape of the first lens L1, it is possible to buffer the change in the angle of incidence of light rays from a large viewing angle, and to smoothly propagate the light rays through the optical imaging lens group, which is also advantageous for lens processing and lens assembly.

[0025] If the radius of curvature of the object side surface of the fifth lens L5 is defined as R9 and the radius of curvature of the image side surface of the fifth lens L5 is defined as R10, the following relational expression is satisfied: 1.20≦(R9+R10) / (R9-R10)≦3.20. By defining the shape of the fifth lens L5, the degree of deflection of light passing through the lens can be mitigated within the range of the conditional expression, and chromatic aberration can be efficiently corrected so that chromatic aberration |LC≦5.2 μm.

The negative refractive power of the first lens L1 is specified, and if it exceeds the upper limit specified value, it contributes to the development of ultra-thin lenses, but the negative refractive power of the first lens L1 is too strong, making it difficult to compensate for aberrations, and at the same time, it does not contribute to the development of wide-angle lenses. Conversely, if it exceeds the lower limit specified value, the negative refractive power of the first lens L1 becomes too weak, making it difficult to develop ultra-thin lenses. Preferably, -4.82≦f1 / f≦-2.44.

By defining the shape of the second lens L2, it is advantageous to correct the problem of axial chromatic aberration as the lens is developed into an ultra-thin wide-angle lens within the range. Also, preferably, 0.50≦(R3+R4) / (R3-R4)≦0.79.

[0035] In this embodiment, the focal length of the imaging optical lens is defined as f, and the focal length of the third lens L3 is defined as f3, and the following relational expression is satisfied: 0.72≦f3 / f≦2.89. By rationally allocating the optical focal lengths, better imaging quality and low sensitivity are both achieved. Also, preferably, 1.15≦f3 / f≦2.31.

By defining the shape of the third lens L3, it is advantageous to correct problems such as off-axis aberrations in the development of ultra-thin wide-angle lenses. In addition, it is preferable that -1.43≦(R5+R6) / (R5-R6)≦-0.77.

[0037] In this embodiment, the object side surface of the third lens L3 is convex at the paraxial position, and the image side surface is convex at the paraxial position, and the third lens L3 has a positive refractive power.

[0041] The axial thickness of the fourth lens L4 is defined as d7, and the total optical length of the imaging optical lens is defined as TTL, and the following relational expression is satisfied: 0.02≦d7 / TTL≦0.11. This is advantageous for realizing an ultra-thin structure. Also, preferably, 0.03≦d7 / TTL≦0.09.

[0042] In this embodiment, the focal length of the imaging optical lens is defined as f, and the focal length of the fifth lens L5 is defined as f5, and the following relational expression is satisfied: -7.29≦f5 / f≦-1.06. The negative refractive power of the fifth lens L5 is specified, and if it exceeds the upper limit specified value, it is advantageous for development toward ultra-thinness, but the negative refractive power of the fifth lens L5 becomes too strong, making it difficult to correct problems such as aberrations, and is disadvantageous for development toward the wide-angle side. Conversely, if it exceeds the lower limit specified value, the negative refractive power of the fifth lens L5 becomes too weak, making it difficult to develop toward the ultra-thin side. Preferably, -4.55≦f5 / f≦-1.32.
