The present disclosure relates to the field of optical lens, and more particularly, to a camera optical lens suitable for handheld terminal devices, such as smart phones or digital cameras, and camera devices, such as monitors or PC lenses.
With the emergence of smart phones in recent years, the demand for miniature camera optical lens is increasingly higher, but in general the photosensitive devices of camera optical lens are nothing more than Charge Coupled Devices (CCDs) or Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Sensors (CMOS sensors). As the progress of the semiconductor manufacturing technology makes the pixel size of the photosensitive devices become smaller, plus the current development trend of electronic products towards better functions and thinner and smaller dimensions, miniature camera optical lenses with good imaging quality have become a mainstream in the market. In order to obtain better imaging quality, the lens that is traditionally equipped in mobile phone cameras adopts a three-piece or four-piece lens structure. Also, with the development of technology and the increase of the diverse demands of users, and as the pixel area of photosensitive devices is becoming smaller and smaller and the requirement of the system on the imaging quality is becoming increasingly higher, a five-piece or six-piece or seven-piece lens structure gradually emerges in lens designs. There is a demand for an ultra-thin, wide-angle camera lens having excellent optical features.
In view of the problems, the present disclosure aims to provide a camera optical lens, which can achieve high imaging performance while satisfying requirements for ultra-thin, wide-angle lenses.
In an embodiment, the present disclosure provides a camera optical lens. The camera optical lens sequentially includes, from an object side to an image side: a first lens having a positive refractive power; a second lens having a negative refractive power; a third lens having a negative refractive power; a fourth lens having a positive refractive power; a fifth lens having a negative refractive power; a sixth lens having a positive refractive power; and a seventh lens having a negative refractive power. The camera optical lens satisfies following conditions: 1.80≤f4/f≤5.00; −1.50≤f6/f7≤−1.00; and 1.20≤d8/d9≤1.60, where f denotes a focal length of the camera optical lens; f4 denotes a focal length of the fourth lens; f6 denotes a focal length of the sixth lens; f7 denotes a focal length of the seventh lens; d8 denotes an on-axis distance from an image side surface of the fourth lens to an object side surface of the fifth lens; and d9 denotes an on-axis thickness of the fifth lens.
The present disclosure has advantageous effects in that the camera optical lens according to the present disclosure has excellent optical characteristics and is ultra-thin, wide-angle, making it especially suitable for high-pixel camera optical lens assembly of mobile phones and WEB camera optical lenses formed by camera elements such as CCD and CMOS.

A focal length of the camera optical lens 10 is defined as f, and a focal length of the fourth lens L4 is defined as f4. The camera optical lens 10 should satisfy a condition of 1.80≤f4/f≤5.00. The appropriate distribution of the refractive power leads to better imaging quality and a lower sensitivity. As an example, 2.26≤f4/f≤4.90.
A focal length of the sixth lens L6 is defined as f6, and a focal length of the seventh lens L7 is defined as P. The camera optical lens 10 should satisfy a condition of −1.50≤f6/f7≤−1.00. This leads to the effective distribution of the refractive powers of the sixth lens L6 and the seventh lens L7 and facilitates correction of aberrations of the optical system, thereby improving imaging quality. As an example, −1.47≤f6/f7≤−1.09.
An on-axis distance from an image side surface of the fourth lens L4 to an object side surface of the fifth lens L5 is defined as d8, and an on-axis thickness of the fifth lens L5 is defined as d9. The camera optical lens 10 should satisfy a condition of 1.20≤d8/d9≤1.60. When the condition is satisfied, the total length of the optical system can be reduced, thereby achieving ultra-thin lenses.
