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 conventionally equipped in mobile phone cameras adopts a three-piece lens structure. However, with the development of technology and the increasingly diverse demands of users, the pixel area of photosensitive devices is becoming smaller and smaller and the requirement of the system on the imaging quality is increasingly higher, a four-piece lens structure gradually emerges in lens designs. Although the common four-piece lens has good optical performance, its settings on refractive power, lens spacing and lens shape still have some deficiencies, which result in that the lens structure cannot have a good optical performance while satisfying design requirements for ultra-thin, wide-angle lenses having large apertures.
