The utility model provides a wide-angle optical
system and a
camera module applying the wide-angle optical
system, and the wide-angle optical
system is mainly composed of eight lenses, the first lens has negative focal power, the object side surface of the first lens is a convex surface, the image side surface of the first lens is a
concave surface, the second lens has negative focal power, the image side surface of the second lens is a
concave surface, the third lens has focal power, the object side surface of the third lens is a
concave surface, and the fourth lens has focal power. The fifth lens has focal power, the object side surface of the fifth lens is a convex surface, the sixth lens has positive focal power, the object side surface of the sixth lens is a convex surface, the image side surface of the sixth lens is a convex surface, the seventh lens has negative focal power, the object side surface of the seventh lens is a concave surface, and the eighth lens has positive focal power and the image side surface of the eighth lens is a concave surface. The optical system has the advantages of light weight, high pixel, large wide angle,
small caliber and low cost, is compact in structure and convenient to process and
mount, can keep good and stable performance at high and low temperatures, and effectively meets the design requirements of large
field angle and
high resolution of the optical system.
