With the recent development of mobile devices, the market demand of lens modules increases. In consideration of convenience and portability of the mobile devices, the market prefers miniature and light image pick-up lenses which perform a good optical performance. With the development of miniature and light devices, more and more devices are able to be installed with the miniature image pick-up lenses, including vehicles, video games, and electric appliances.
With the recent development of the miniature mobile devices, the optical image pick-up lenses which are installed in such miniature mobile devices are asked as small as possible. In addition, the optical image pick-up lenses are asked to have a good optical performance to provide high resolution and high contrast. Therefore, miniature and good optical performance are the main requirements of the modern image pick-up lenses.
Besides, the optical image pick-up lenses for the mobile devices are asked to have wide-angle mode. However, the conventional wide-angle image pick-up lenses still have several problems, including insufficient wide angle, distortion, and chromatic difference, so that they could not achieve the desired optical performance.
In view of the above, the primary objective of the present invention is to provide an image pick-up lens which has miniature structures, and effectively enhances optical performance in the wide-angle mode.
The present invention provides an optical image pick-up lens including an aperture, a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, and a fifth lens in order along an optical axis from an object side toward an image side. The first lens is a positive plastic biconvex lens, and has at least an aspheric surface. The second lens is a negative plastic meniscus lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a concave surface facing the image side, and has at least an aspheric surface. The third lens is a positive plastic meniscus lens with a concave surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side, and has at least an aspheric surface. The fourth lens is a positive glass meniscus lens with a concave surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side, and has at least an aspheric surface, wherein the fourth lens has a refractive index greater than 1.7. The fifth lens is a plastic lens, and has two aspheric surfaces facing the object side and the image side respectively, wherein the fifth lens has inflection points on the aspheric surfaces, so that the fifth lens gradually changes from negative to positive from a center, where the optical axis passes through, to an edge.
Whereby, the optical image pick-up lens of the present invention may achieve the purposes of reduction of size and high quantity of light. Besides that it further has a large viewing angle in wide-angle mode.
The present invention will be best understood by referring to the following detailed description of some illustrative embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which
As shown in
For all of the optical image pick-up lenses 1-4 of the present invention, the first lens L1 is a positive biconvex lens, the second lens L2 is a negative meniscus lens with a convex surface S4 facing the object side and a concave surface S5 facing the image side, the third lens L3 is a positive meniscus lens with a concave surface S6 facing the object side and a convex surface S7 facing the image side, and the fourth lens L4 is a positive meniscus lens with a concave surface S8 facing the object side and a convex surface S9 facing the image side.
The different part of each preferred embodiment is that the fifth lenses L5 of the first and the second preferred embodiments each has an aspheric surface S10 facing the object side, and the aspheric surface S10 has two inflection points. The aspheric surface S10 has a convex portion between a center, where the optical axis Z passes through, and the inner inflection point. A radius of curvature of the aspheric surface S10 is positive within the inner inflection point, and is negative between the inner and the outer inflection points, and is positive again outsides the outer inflection point. In other words, the radius of curvature of the aspheric surface S10 gradually changes from positive to negative, and to positive again from the center to an edge of the fifth lens. The fifth lens L5 has an aspheric surface S11 facing the object side, and the aspheric surface S11 only has an inflection point. The aspheric surface S11 has a concave portion between the center and the inflection point and a convex portion between the inflection point and the edge. A radius of curvature of the aspheric surface S11 is negative at the center, and gradually changes to positive, and then gradually changes to negative from the center to the edge. As a result, the fifth lens L5 gradually change from negative to positive from the center to the edge.
The fifth lenses L5 of the third and the fourth preferred embodiments each has an aspheric surface S10 facing the object side and an aspheric surface S11 facing the image side. The different part is that the aspheric surface S10 only has an inflection point, and a convex portion between a center, where the optical axis Z passes, and the inflection point. A radius of curvature of the surface S10 gradually changes from negative to positive from the center to an edge of the fifth lens L5. As a result, the fifth lens L5 gradually changes from negative to positive from the center to the edge.
For obtaining a good optical performance, radiuses R of curvatures of each lens surface where the optical axis Z passes through, distances D between each surface and the next surface (or image plane) on the optical axis Z, material refractive indexes Nd of each lens, Abbe numbers Vd of each lens, and focal lengths f of each lens of the optical image pick-up lenses 1-4 of the first to the fourth preferred embodiments of the present invention are listed in Table 1 to Table 4 hereafter:
Among the lenses in the first to the fourth preferred embodiments, a surface concavity z of the aspheric surfaces S2-S11 is defined by the following formula:
where z is the surface concavity of the aspheric surface, c is reciprocal of radius of curvature, h is half the off-axis height of surface, k is conic constant, and α2-α8 each is different order coefficient of h.
Aspheric coefficient K and each of the order coefficients α2-α8 of each aspheric surface of the first to the fourth preferred embodiments is listed in Table 5 to Table 8.

The above equations provide the optical image pick-up lens several characters. Equations (1) and (7) are helpful to reduction of the total length of the optical image pick-up lens, Equations (2), (3), (4), and (5) control the peripheral distortion, modify chromatic difference of magnification, spherical aberration, and field curvature, and Equation (6) reduces the rays emitting through the margin of the fifth lens L5 that may reduce the incident angle and so as to reduce the blending problem because of the large incident angle. In other words, the Equations (1) to (7) may reduce the size of the optical image pick-up lens, and improve aberration and image quality.

With the arrangement of the aperture ST and the lenses L1-L5, and the lenses L1-L5 each having aspheric surfaces, it may modify the distortion problem of the optical image pick-up lenses 1-4 in wide-angle mode.
