FIELD OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE

The invention relates to a camera lens. In particular, the invention relates to mobile phone camera assembly, WEB camera lens, etc, which are suitable for using camera elements such as high-pixel CCD, CMOS, etc. At the same time, the camera lens consists of 6 small sized lenses with wide angle as view angle (hereinafter referred to as 2ω) over 100° and excellent optical properties.

DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART

In recent years, various kinds of camera devices using camera components such as CCD and CMOS, have become widely popular. With the development of miniaturization and high performance of camera elements, the society needs small camera lenses with excellent optical properties and wide angle.

The development of technology related to the camera lens consisting of 6 small lenses with excellent optical properties and wide angle is in progress step by step. The proposed solution is that the camera lens consists of 6 lenses, which are arranged in turn from object side as follows: a first lens with negative refractive power, a second lens with positive refractive power, a third lens with positive refractive power, a fourth lens with negative refractive power, and a fifth lens with positive refractive power, a sixth lens with negative refractive power.

The camera lens of the related technology consists of the above 6 lenses. However, the refractive power distribution of the first lens and the second lens, the shape of the fourth lens are not sufficient, so 2ω=105° wide-angle, total track length (hereinafter referred to as TTL) 10.68 mm wide-angle and miniaturization are not sufficient. The camera lens of other related technology consists of the above 6 lenses. However, the refractive power distribution of the first, second and fourth lens, the shape of the fourth and fifth lens are not sufficient, so 2ω≤98.2°, TTL≥18.601 mm wide-angle and miniaturization are not sufficient.

As shown in table 5, embodiment 2 meets the conditions (1)-(10)

The longitudinal aberration of the camera lens LA in example 2 is shown in FIG. 7, the ratio chromatic aberration is shown in FIG. 8, and the field curvature and distortion are shown in FIG. 9. As shown in FIGS. 7-9, the camera lens LA in example 2 has Fno=2.44, 2ω=119.6°, TTL=4.368 mm wide-angle and small size, so it is not difficult to understand why it has excellent optical properties.

Table 5 shows various values of the examples and the values corresponding with the parameters which are already specified in the conditions (1)-(10). In addition, numerical units shown in Table 5 are 2 ω(°), f (mm), f1 (mm), f2 (mm), f3 (mm), f4 (mm), f5 (mm), TTL (mm), LB (mm), IH (mm)
