FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a camera lens, and more particularly to a camera lens very suitable for mobile phone camera module and WEB camera lens etc. equipped with high-pixel camera elements such as CCD, CMOS etc.

DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART

In recent years, various camera devices equipped with camera elements such as CCD, CMOS are extensively popular. Along with development on camera lens toward miniaturization and high performance, ultra-thin and high-luminous flux (Fno) wide angle camera lenses with excellent optical properties are needed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS

The present invention will hereinafter be described in detail with reference to exemplary embodiments. To make the technical problems to be solved, technical solutions and beneficial effects of present disclosure more apparent, the present disclosure is described in further detail together with the figures and the embodiments. It should be understood the specific embodiments described hereby is only to explain this disclosure, not intended to limit this disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 1, a camera lens LA comprises, in an order from an object side to an imaging side, 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 is arranged between the sixth lens L6 and the imaging surface. And a glass cover or an optical filter having the function of filtering IR can serve as the glass plate GF. Moreover, it shall be feasible if no glass plate GF is arranged between the sixth lens L6 and the imaging surface.

The first lens has positive refractive power; the second lens has negative refractive power; the third lens has positive refractive power; the fourth lens has negative refractive power; the fifth lens has positive refractive power; and the sixth lens has negative refractive power. Moreover, the surfaces of the six lenses should be designed as the aspheric shape preferably in order to correct the aberration well.

The camera lens LA meets the following conditions (1)˜(3):1.80≦f3/f≦5.00   (1);0.15≦R1/R2≦0.30   (2);18.00≦R5/R6   (3); where,

• f: overall focal distance of the camera lens;
• f3: focal distance of the third lens L3;
• R1: the curvature radius of the first lens L1's object side surface;
• R2: the curvature radius of the first lens L1's image side surface;
• R5: the curvature radius of the third lens L3's object side surface;
• R6: the curvature radius of the third lens L3's image side surface.

The positive refractive power of the third lens L3 is specified in the condition (1). Moreover, the development of ultra-thin and wide angle trend of Fno≦2.0 cannot be implemented easily outside the range of the condition (1).

Therefore, numerical range of condition (1) should be set within the numerical range of the following condition (1-A) preferably,2.20≦f3/f≦3.50   (1-A)_o

The shape of the first lens L1 is specified in the condition (2). Moreover, the development toward Fno≦2.0 cannot be implemented easily outside the range of the condition (2).

Therefore, the ranges of the values in the Condition (2) should be set within the numerical range of the following condition (2-A) preferably,0.18≦R1/R2≦0.26   (2-A)

The shape of the third lens L3 is specified in the condition (3). Moreover, the development of ultra-thin and wide angle trend of Fno≦2.0 cannot be implemented easily outside the range of the Condition (3).

Therefore, numerical range of condition (3) should be set within the numerical range of the following condition (3-A) preferably,20.00≦R5/R6≦100.00   (3-A)

The first lens L1 has positive refractive power and meets the following condition (4).0.75f1/f≦1.00   (4); where,

• f: overall focal distance of the camera lens;
• f3: focal distance of the first lens L1.

The positive refractive power of the first lens L1 is specified in the condition (4). It is useful for development of ultra-thin trend when the numerical range exceeds the lower limit specified in the condition (4); however, the aberration cannot be corrected easily because the positive refractive power of the first lens L1 becomes too strong; on the contrary, when the numerical range exceeds the upper limit specified, the development of ultra-thin trend cannot be implemented easily because the positive refractive power of the first lens L1 becomes too weak

Therefore, the numerical ranges of condition (4) should be set within the numerical range of the following condition (4-A) preferably,0.80≦f1/f≦0.95   (4-A)_o

The second lens L2 has negative refractive power and meets following condition (5).1.00≦R3/R4≦3.00   (5); where,

• R3: curvature radius of the second lens L2's object side surface;
• R4: curvature radius of the second lens L2's image side surface.

Shape of the second lens L2 is specified in the condition (5). Moreover, the problems, such as correction of chromatic aberration on axle, etc. cannot be implemented easily along development of ultra-thin and wide angle trend of Fno≦2.0 outside the range of the condition (5)

Therefore, the numerical range of the condition (5) should be set within the numerical range of the following condition (5-A) preferably,1.50≦R3/R4≦2.80   (5-A)

Because 6 lenses of camera Lens all have the stated formation and meet all the conditions, so it is possible to produce a camera lens which is composed of 6 lenses with excellent optional properties, TTL(optical length)/IH(image height)≦1.45, ultrathin, wide angle 2ω≧76°, Fno≦2.0
