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 suitable for camera devices such as monitors or PC lenses.
With the development of camera technology, camera optical lenses are widely used in various electronic products, such as smart phones and digital cameras. In order to facilitate portability, people are increasingly pursuing thinner and lighter electronic products, miniature camera lenses with good imaging quality therefore 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. However, 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 improving constantly, a five-piece lens structure gradually appears in lens designs. Although the common five-piece lens has good optical performance, its settings on refractive power, lens spacing and lens shape still have some irrationality, which results in that the lens structure cannot achieve a high optical performance while satisfying design requirements for ultra-thin and long-focal-length lenses.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide a camera optical lens that has good optical performance and satisfies the requirements for ultra-thin, long-focal-length, and large-aperture design.
In view of the problems, the present disclosure aims to provide a camera optical lens, which can solve a problem that traditional camera optical lenses cannot fully achieve ultra-thin, large-aperture, and long-focal-length performance.

Specifically, compared with a long-focal-length lens in the related art, the total optical length is obviously shorter.
In addition, in the camera optical lens 10 provided by this embodiment, the surface of each lens can be set as an aspherical surface, and it is easy for the aspherical surface to be made into a shape other than a spherical surface, to obtain more control variables, for reducing aberrations, thereby reducing the number of lenses used, so that the total length of the camera optical lens 10 can be effectively reduced. In this embodiment, both the object-side surface and the image-side surface of each lens are all aspherical surfaces.
Since the first lens L1, the second lens L2, the third lens L3, the fourth lens L4, and the fifth lens L5 have the same structure and parameter relationship as above, the camera optical lens 10 can reasonably allocate the refractive power, spacing and shape of each lens, and thus various aberrations are corrected.
Thus, the camera optical lens 10 can satisfy design requirements for ultra-thin, long-focal-length lenses having large apertures while achieving good optical performance.

TTL: Optical length (the total optical length from the object-side surface of the first lens L1 to the image plane of the camera optical lens along the optic axis), in a unit of mm.
F number (FNO): a ratio of an effective focal length of the camera optical lens to an entrance pupil diameter of the camera optical lens.
In addition, at least one of the object-side surface and the image-side surface of each lens can be provided with an inflection point and/or an arrest point to meet the requirements of high-quality imaging, and for specific implementation options, see below.
