FIELD OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure relates to optical lens, in particular to a camera lens suitable for handheld devices such as smart phones and digital cameras and imaging devices.

DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART

With the emergence of smart phones in recent years, the demand for miniature camera lens is increasing day by day, but the photosensitive devices of general camera lens are no other than Charge Coupled Device (CCD) or Complementary metal-Oxide Semiconductor Sensor (CMOS sensor), and as the progress of the semiconductor manufacturing technology makes the pixel size of the photosensitive devices shrink, coupled with the current development trend of electronic products being that their functions should be better and their shape should be thin and small, miniature camera lens with good imaging quality therefor has become a mainstream in the market.

Traditional camera lens includes 6 lenses, from the object side to the image side, comprising in sequence: a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, and a sixth lens. But the refractive index distribution of the third lens and the shape of the third lens and the fifth lens are insufficient, so that, in order to realize Fno=1.82˜1.83, although the light flux is high, but the ultra-thin is insufficiency. Other traditional camera lenses also includes 6 lenses, but the refractive index distribution of the third lens and the shape of the third lens and the fifth lens are insufficient, so that, in order to realize Fno≥2.15, the luminance is insufficient.

The camera lens LA comprises 6 lenses. Specifically, from the object side to the image side, the camera lens LA comprises in sequence: a first lens L1, a second lens L2, a third lens L3, a fourth lens L4, a fifth lens L5, and a sixth lens L6. A glass plate GF may be arranged between the sixth lens L6 and the image surface Si or not be arranged between the sixth lens L6 and the image surface Si. The glass plate GF is a cover-glass or a filter with IR cut-off function.

The first lens L1 has a positive refractive power, the second lens L2 has a negative refractive power, the third lens L3 has a positive refractive power, the fourth lens L4 has a negative refractive power, the fifth lens L5 has a positive refractive power, and the sixth lens L6 has a negative refractive power. In order to correct aberration problem, the surface of the six lens L6 should be designed to aspherical surface.

The camera lens LA satisfies the following conditions (1)-(3):

10.00≤f3/f≤15.00 (1)

−4.80≤(R5+R6)/(R5−R6)≤−4.20 (2)

Condition (1) fixes the positive refractive power of the third lens L3. When the value of the upper condition (1) is exceeded, and it is also unfavorable for high light flux, excellent optical characteristics, and ultra-thin development of lens.

Condition (2) fixes the shape of the third lens L3. When the value of the upper condition (2) is exceeded, and it is also unfavorable for high light flux, excellent optical characteristics, and miniaturization development of lens.

Condition (3) fixes the shape of the fifth lens L5. When the value of the upper condition (3) is exceeded, and it is also unfavorable for high light flux, excellent optical characteristics, and miniaturization development of lens.

0.12≤d10/f≤0.14 (4)

where

f: the focal length of the camera lens;

d10: the distance on-axis from the image side surface of the fifth lens to the object side surface of the sixth lens.

Condition (4) fixes the distance on-axis from the image side surface of the fifth lens to the object side surface of the sixth lens.

As shown in Table 7, the embodiment 3 satisfies the conditions (1)-(4).

In this embodiment, the longitudinal aberration of the camera lens LA is shown in FIG. 11, the lateral color of the camera lens LA is shown in FIG. 12, and the field curvature and distortion of the camera lens LA is shown in FIG. 13. As shown in FIG. 11 to FIG. 13, the camera lens LA of embodiment 3 is TTL/IH=1.390, Fno=2.00, hence the camera lens LA has an excellent optical characteristics with ultra-thin and high light flux (Fno).

Table 7 shows the various values of the embodiments 1, 2, 3, and the values corresponding with the parameters which are already specified in the conditions (1)˜(4). In addition, the units of the various values shown in table 5 respectively are 2 ω(°), f (mm), f1 (mm), f2 (mm), f3 (mm), f4 (mm), f5 (mm), f6 (mm) TTL (mm), LB (mm), IH (mm).
