In Table 2-1 and Table 2-2 above, in a case where a lens surface is a convex surface protruding toward the object side or a concave surface recessed toward the object side, its radius of curvature is set to a positive value; in a case where a lens surface is a convex surface protruding toward the image side or a concave surface recessed toward the image side, its radius of curvature is set to a negative value.

In addition, Table 2-1 and Table 2-2 above show the aspheric coefficients A4, A6, A8, A10, A12, A14 and A16 of each of the aspheric surfaces, which satisfy the following expression 1. In the following expression, Z represents sag (axis in an optical axis direction), r represents height (ray height) in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis, K represents the conic coefficient, and c represents the reciprocal of the radius of curvature.

$\begin{matrix} Z = \frac{c r^{2}}{1 + \sqrt{1 - (1 + K) c^{2} r^{2}}} + \sum_{n = 2}^{5} A_{2 n} r^{2 n} & [Expression 1] \end{matrix}$

Here, in the wide-angle lens 1000, a combined effective focal length f12 of the first lens 110 and the second lens 120 is −1.338 mm, and the maximum image height HOI is 2.139 mm. Therefore, the following condition 1 is satisfied:

−1.000<f12/HOI<−0.400 (1)

In condition 1, if f12/HOI is −1.000 or less, a lens diameter increases and the object-to-image distance increases, making it difficult to miniaturize the wide-angle lens as a whole. On the other hand, if f12/HOI is −0.400 or greater, negative refractive power becomes excessively high, making it difficult to appropriately correct curvature of field, chromatic aberration of magnification, and coma.

In contrast, in this embodiment, since condition 1 is satisfied, the object-to-image distance is able to be reduced, thereby miniaturizing the wide-angle lens as a whole. Moreover, it is easy to make appropriate correction to curvature of field, chromatic aberration of magnification, and coma, thereby realizing good optical characteristics.

Particularly, in this embodiment, since −0.700<f12/HOI<−0.500 is satisfied, the object-to-image distance is able to be further reduced, thereby miniaturizing the wide-angle lens as a whole. Moreover, it is relative easy to make appropriate correction to curvature of field, chromatic aberration of magnification, and coma, thereby realizing good optical characteristics.

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, an effective radius sd11 of an object side lens surface of the first lens 110 is 6.456 mm, and the maximum image height HOI is 2.139 mm. Therefore, the following condition 2 is satisfied:

2.000<sd11/HOI<4.000 (2)

In condition 2, if sd11/HOI is 2.000 or less, a position on the optical axis where a beam passes is close to a position outside the optical axis where the beam passes, making it difficult to satisfactorily correct the curvature of field. On the other hand, if sd11/HOI is 4.000 or greater, a diameter of the first lens 110 increases, making it difficult to miniaturize the wide-angle lens.

In contrast, in this embodiment, since condition 2 is satisfied, the position on the optical axis where a beam passes is separated from the position outside the optical axis where the beam passes, enabling satisfactory correction to the curvature of field. Moreover, the diameter of the first lens is able to be controlled, making it relatively easy to miniaturize the wide-angle lens.

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the object-to-image distance d is 13.611 mm, and the maximum image height HOI is 2.139 mm. Therefore, the following condition 3 is satisfied:

5.000<d/HOI<8.000 (3)

In condition 3, if d/HOI is 5.000 or less, it is difficult to satisfactorily correct various aberrations. On the other hand, if d/HOI is 8.000 or greater, the lens diameter and the object-to-image distance increase, making it difficult to miniaturize the wide-angle lens as a whole.

In contrast, in this embodiment, since condition 3 is satisfied, it becomes possible to satisfactorily correct various aberrations. Moreover, the lens diameter and the object-to-image distance are able to be reduced, thereby miniaturizing the wide-angle lens as a whole.

Particularly, in this embodiment, since 6.000<d/HOI<7.000 is satisfied, various aberrations are able to be further satisfactorily corrected. Moreover, the lens diameter and the object-to-image distance are able to be further reduced, thereby miniaturizing the wide-angle lens as a whole.

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the third lens 130 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fourth lens 140 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fifth lens 150 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side, the sixth lens 160 is a negative lens with a concave surface facing the image side, and the seventh lens 170 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side. Moreover, a combined effective focal length f1234 of the first lens 110, the second lens 120, the third lens 130 and the fourth lens 140 is 3.148 mm, and a combined effective focal length f567 of the fifth lens 150, the sixth lens 160 and the seventh lens 170 is 3.740 mm. Therefore, the following condition 4 is satisfied:

0.800<f1234/f567<8.000 (4)

In condition 4, if f1234/f is 0.800 or less, refractive power of a front lens group composed of the first lens, the second lens, the third lens and the fourth lens is excessively high, making it difficult to appropriately correct various aberrations. On the other hand, if f1234/f is 8.000 or greater, the refractive power of the front lens group composed of the first lens, the second lens, the third lens and the fourth lens is excessively low, making it difficult to reduce the diameter of each lens of the front lens group and to miniaturize the wide-angle lens as a whole.

In contrast, in this embodiment, since condition 4 is satisfied, it is relatively easy to make appropriate correction to various aberrations and to realize miniaturization.

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the third lens 130 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fourth lens 140 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fifth lens 150 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side, the sixth lens 160 is a negative lens with a concave surface facing the image side, and the seventh lens 170 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side. Moreover, the combined effective focal length f567 of the fifth lens 150, the sixth lens 160 and the seventh lens 170 is 3.740 mm, and the effective focal length f of the lens system as a whole is 1.023 mm. Therefore, the following condition 5 is satisfied:

2.800<f567/f<3.850 (5)

In condition 5, if f567/f is 2.800 or less, refractive power of a rear lens group composed of the fifth lens, the sixth lens and the seventh lens is excessively high, making it difficult to appropriately correct various aberrations (especially chromatic aberration). On the other hand, if f567/f is 3.850 or greater, it is difficult to reduce the diameter of each lens and the object-to-image distance, thus making it difficult to miniaturize the wide-angle lens as a whole.

In contrast, in this embodiment, since condition 5 is satisfied, it is easy to make appropriate correction to various aberrations (especially chromatic aberration) and to realize miniaturization.

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the object-to-image distance d is 13.611 mm, and the effective focal length f of the lens system as a whole is 1.023 mm. Therefore, the following condition 6 is satisfied:

11.000<d/f<15.000 (6)

In condition 6, if d/f is 11.000 or less, it is difficult to appropriately correct various aberrations. On the other hand, if d/f is 15.000 or greater, the overall length of the lens system becomes excessively large.

In contrast, in this embodiment, since condition 6 is satisfied, it is easy to make appropriate correction to various aberrations, making it easy to achieve good optical characteristics. Moreover, it is possible to prevent the lens system from becoming excessively large while avoiding an excessively large overall length of the lens system.

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the effective focal length f of the lens system as a whole is 1.023 mm, an HFOV θ is 115/180, the maximum image height HOI is 2.139 mm, and fθ<HOI<2f·tan(θ/2) is satisfied. Therefore, it is easy to realize an imaging lens capable of projecting a relatively large image of a peripheral part, and it is possible to suppress distortion and aberration of the peripheral part.

In summary, in this embodiment, by configuring the wide-angle lens 1000 as above, as shown in FIG. 2A to FIG. 4L, the object-to-image distance is able to be reduced, thereby miniaturizing the wide-angle lens as a whole. Moreover, it is easy to make appropriate correction to curvature of field, chromatic aberration of magnification, and coma, thereby realizing good optical characteristics.

In Table 4-1 and Table 4-2 above, in a case where a lens surface is a convex surface protruding toward the object side or a concave surface recessed toward the object side, its radius of curvature is set to a positive value; in a case where a lens surface is a convex surface protruding toward the image side or a concave surface recessed toward the image side, its radius of curvature is set to a negative value.

In addition, Table 4-1 and Table 2-2 above show the aspheric coefficients A4, A6, A8, A10, A12, A14 and A16 of each of the aspheric surfaces, which satisfy expression 1 above.

Here, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the combined effective focal length f12 of the first lens 110 and the second lens 120 is −1.406 mm, and the maximum image height HOI is 2.139 mm. Therefore, the following condition 1 is satisfied:

−1.000<f12/HOI<−0.400 (1)

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the effective radius sd11 of the object side lens surface of the first lens 110 is 6.449 mm, and the maximum image height HOI is 2.139 mm. Therefore, the following condition 2 is satisfied:

2.000<sd11/HOI<4.000 (2)

In condition 2, if sd11/HOI is 2.000 or less, a position on the optical axis where a beam passes is close to a position outside the optical axis where the beam passes, making it difficult to satisfactorily correct the curvature of field. On the other hand, if sd11/HOI is 4.000 or greater, the diameter of the first lens 110 increases, making it difficult to miniaturize the wide-angle lens.

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the object-to-image distance d is 13.610 mm, and the maximum image height HOI is 2.139 mm. Therefore, the following condition 3 is satisfied:

5.000<d/HOI<8.000 (3)

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the third lens 130 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fourth lens 140 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fifth lens 150 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side, the sixth lens 160 is a negative lens with a concave surface facing the image side, and the seventh lens 170 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side. Moreover, the combined effective focal length f1234 of the first lens 110, the second lens 120, the third lens 130 and the fourth lens 140 is 4.237 mm, and the combined effective focal length f567 of the fifth lens 150, the sixth lens 160 and the seventh lens 170 is 3.640 mm. Therefore, the following condition 4 is satisfied:

0.800<f1234/f567<8.000 (4)

In condition 4, if f1234/f is 0.800 or less, the refractive power of the front lens group composed of the first lens, the second lens, the third lens and the fourth lens is excessively high, making it difficult to appropriately correct various aberrations. On the other hand, if f1234/f is 8.000 or greater, the refractive power of the front lens group composed of the first lens, the second lens, the third lens and the fourth lens is excessively low, making it difficult to reduce the diameter of each lens of the front lens group and to miniaturize the wide-angle lens as a whole.

In contrast, in this embodiment, since condition 4 is satisfied, it is relatively easy to make appropriate correction to various aberrations and to realize miniaturization.

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the third lens 130 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fourth lens 140 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fifth lens 150 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side, the sixth lens 160 is a negative lens with a concave surface facing the image side, and the seventh lens 170 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side. Moreover, the combined effective focal length f567 of the fifth lens 150, the sixth lens 160 and the seventh lens 170 is 3.640 mm, and the effective focal length f of the lens system as a whole is 1.062 mm. Therefore, the following condition 5 is satisfied:

2.800<f567/f<3.850 (5)

In condition 5, if f567/f is 2.800 or less, the refractive power of the rear lens group composed of the fifth lens, the sixth lens and the seventh lens is excessively high, making it difficult to appropriately correct various aberrations (especially chromatic aberration). On the other hand, if f567/f is 3.850 or greater, it is difficult to reduce the diameter of each lens and the object-to-image distance, thus making it difficult to miniaturize the wide-angle lens as a whole.

In contrast, in this embodiment, since condition 5 is satisfied, it is easy to make appropriate correction to various aberrations (especially chromatic aberration) and to realize miniaturization.

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the object-to-image distance d is 13.610 mm, and the effective focal length f of the lens system as a whole is 1.062 mm. Therefore, the following condition 6 is satisfied:

11.000<d/f<15.000 (6)

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the effective focal length f of the lens system as a whole is 1.062 mm, the HFOV θ is 115/180, the maximum image height HOI is 2.139 mm, and fθ<HOI<2f·tan(θ/2) is satisfied. Therefore, it is easy to realize an imaging lens capable of projecting a relatively large image of a peripheral part, and it is possible to suppress distortion and aberration of the peripheral part.

In summary, in this embodiment, by configuring the wide-angle lens 1000 as above, as shown in FIG. 6A to FIG. 8L, the object-to-image distance is able to be reduced, thereby miniaturizing the wide-angle lens as a whole. Moreover, it is easy to make appropriate correction to curvature of field, chromatic aberration of magnification, and coma, thereby realizing good optical characteristics.

Among them, the sixth lens 160 and the seventh lens 170 are bonded together by an adhesive to constitute a cemented lens.

As shown in FIG. 9, similarly to Embodiment 1, the light-shielding sheet 190 is provided between the second lens 120 and the third lens 130, the filter 200 is arranged on the image side of the seventh lens 170, and the imaging element 300 is arranged on the image side of the filter 200.

In this embodiment, in the lens system as a whole, the effective focal length f is 1.026 mm, the object-to-image distance (total track) d is 13.403 mm, the F value (image space F/#) is 2.02, the maximum HFOV (maximum half field angle) is 109 degrees, the entrance pupil diameter HEP is 0.508 mm, and the maximum image height HOI is 2.135 mm.

In Table 6-1 and Table 6-2 above, in a case where a lens surface is a convex surface protruding toward the object side or a concave surface recessed toward the object side, its radius of curvature is set to a positive value; in a case where a lens surface is a convex surface protruding toward the image side or a concave surface recessed toward the image side, its radius of curvature is set to a negative value.

In addition, Table 6-1 and Table 6-2 above show the aspheric coefficients A4, A6, A8, A10, A12, A14 and A16 of each of the aspheric surfaces, which satisfy expression 1 above.

Here, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the combined effective focal length f12 of the first lens 110 and the second lens 120 is −1.467 mm, and the maximum image height HOI is 2.135 mm. Therefore, the following condition 1 is satisfied:

−1.000<f12/HOI<−0.400 (1)

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the effective radius sd11 of the object side lens surface of the first lens 110 is 5.722 mm, and the maximum image height HOI is 2.135 mm. Therefore, the following condition 2 is satisfied:

2.000<sd11/HOI<4.000 (2)

In condition 2, if sd11/HOI is 2.000 or less, a position on the optical axis where a beam passes is close to a position outside the optical axis where the beam passes, making it difficult to satisfactorily correct the curvature of field. On the other hand, if sd11/HOI is 4.000 or greater, the diameter of the first lens 110 increases, making it difficult to miniaturize the wide-angle lens.

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the object-to-image distance d is 13.403 mm, and the maximum image height HOI is 2.135 mm. Therefore, the following condition 3 is satisfied:

5.000<d/HOI<8.000 (3)

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the third lens 130 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fourth lens 140 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fifth lens 150 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side, the sixth lens 160 is a negative lens with a concave surface facing the image side, and the seventh lens 170 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side. Moreover, the combined effective focal length f1234 of the first lens 110, the second lens 120, the third lens 130 and the fourth lens 140 is 3.572 mm, and the combined effective focal length f567 of the fifth lens 150, the sixth lens 160 and the seventh lens 170 is 3.663 mm. Therefore, the following condition 4 is satisfied:

0.800<f1234/f567<8.000 (4)

In contrast, in this embodiment, since condition 4 is satisfied, it is relatively easy to make appropriate correction to various aberrations and to realize miniaturization.

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the third lens 130 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fourth lens 140 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fifth lens 150 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side, the sixth lens 160 is a negative lens with a concave surface facing the image side, and the seventh lens 170 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side. Moreover, the combined effective focal length f567 of the fifth lens 150, the sixth lens 160 and the seventh lens 170 is 3.663 mm, and the effective focal length f of the lens system as a whole is 1.026 mm. Therefore, the following condition 5 is satisfied:

2.800<f567/f<3.850 (5)

In contrast, in this embodiment, since condition 5 is satisfied, it is easy to make appropriate correction to various aberrations (especially chromatic aberration) and to realize miniaturization.

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the object-to-image distance d is 13.403 mm, and the effective focal length f of the lens system as a whole is 1.026 mm. Therefore, the following condition 6 is satisfied:

11.000<d/f<15.000 (6)

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the effective focal length f of the lens system as a whole is 1.026 mm, the HFOV θ is 109/180, the maximum image height HOI is 2.135 mm, and fθ<HOI<2f·tan(θ/2) is satisfied. Therefore, it is easy to realize an imaging lens capable of projecting a relatively large image of a peripheral part, and it is possible to suppress distortion and aberration of the peripheral part.

In summary, in this embodiment, by configuring the wide-angle lens 1000 as above, as shown in FIG. 10A to FIG. 12L, the object-to-image distance is able to be reduced, thereby miniaturizing the wide-angle lens as a whole. Moreover, it is easy to make appropriate correction to curvature of field, chromatic aberration of magnification, and coma, thereby realizing good optical characteristics.

In Table 8-1 and Table 8-2 above, in a case where a lens surface is a convex surface protruding toward the object side or a concave surface recessed toward the object side, its radius of curvature is set to a positive value; in a case where a lens surface is a convex surface protruding toward the image side or a concave surface recessed toward the image side, its radius of curvature is set to a negative value.

In addition, Table 8-1 and Table 8-2 above show the aspheric coefficients A4, A6, A8, A10, A12, A14 and A16 of each of the aspheric surfaces, which satisfy expression 1 above.

Here, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the combined effective focal length f12 of the first lens 110 and the second lens 120 is −1.347 mm, and the maximum image height HOI is 2.060 mm. Therefore, the following condition 1 is satisfied:

−1.000<f12/HOI<−0.400 (1)

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the effective radius sd11 of the object side lens surface of the first lens 110 is 6.043 mm, and the maximum image height HOI is 2.060 mm. Therefore, the following condition 2 is satisfied:

2.000<sd11/HOI<4.000 (2)

In condition 2, if sd11/HOI is 2.000 or less, a position on the optical axis where a beam passes is close to a position outside the optical axis where the beam passes, making it difficult to satisfactorily correct the curvature of field. On the other hand, if sd11/HOI is 4.000 or greater, the diameter of the first lens 110 increases, making it difficult to miniaturize the wide-angle lens.

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the object-to-image distance d is 13.404 mm, and the maximum image height HOI is 2.060 mm. Therefore, the following condition 3 is satisfied:

5.000<d/HOI<8.000 (3)

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the third lens 130 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fourth lens 140 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fifth lens 150 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side, the sixth lens 160 is a negative lens with a concave surface facing the image side, and the seventh lens 170 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side. Moreover, the combined effective focal length f1234 of the first lens 110, the second lens 120, the third lens 130 and the fourth lens 140 is 6.571 mm, and the combined effective focal length f567 of the fifth lens 150, the sixth lens 160 and the seventh lens 170 is 3.355 mm. Therefore, the following condition 4 is satisfied:

0.800<f1234/f567<8.000 (4)

In contrast, in this embodiment, since condition 4 is satisfied, it is relatively easy to make appropriate correction to various aberrations and to realize miniaturization.

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the third lens 130 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fourth lens 140 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fifth lens 150 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side, the sixth lens 160 is a negative lens with a concave surface facing the image side, and the seventh lens 170 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side. Moreover, the combined effective focal length f567 of the fifth lens 150, the sixth lens 160 and the seventh lens 170 is 3.355 mm, and the effective focal length f of the lens system as a whole is 1.011 mm. Therefore, the following condition 5 is satisfied:

2.800<f567/f<3.850 (5)

In contrast, in this embodiment, since condition 5 is satisfied, it is easy to make appropriate correction to various aberrations (especially chromatic aberration) and to realize miniaturization.

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the object-to-image distance d is 13.404 mm, and the effective focal length f of the lens system as a whole is 1.011 mm. Therefore, the following condition 6 is satisfied:

11.000<d/f<15.000 (6)

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the effective focal length f of the lens system as a whole is 1.011 mm, the HFOV θ is 109/180, the maximum image height HOI is 2.060 mm, and fθ<HOI<2f·tan(θ/2) is satisfied. Therefore, it is easy to realize an imaging lens capable of projecting a relatively large image of a peripheral part, and it is possible to suppress distortion and aberration of the peripheral part.

In summary, in this embodiment, by configuring the wide-angle lens 1000 as above, as shown in FIG. 14A to FIG. 16L, the object-to-image distance is able to be reduced, thereby miniaturizing the wide-angle lens as a whole. Moreover, it is easy to make appropriate correction to curvature of field, chromatic aberration of magnification, and coma, thereby realizing good optical characteristics.

In Table 10-1 and Table 10-2 above, in a case where a lens surface is a convex surface protruding toward the object side or a concave surface recessed toward the object side, its radius of curvature is set to a positive value; in a case where a lens surface is a convex surface protruding toward the image side or a concave surface recessed toward the image side, its radius of curvature is set to a negative value.

In addition, Table 10-1 and Table 10-2 above show the aspheric coefficients A4, A6, A8, A10, A12, A14 and A16 of each of the aspheric surfaces, which satisfy expression 1 above.

Here, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the combined effective focal length f12 of the first lens 110 and the second lens 120 is −1.258 mm, and the maximum image height HOI is 1.934 mm. Therefore, the following condition 1 is satisfied:

−1.000<f12/HOI<−0.400 (1)

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the effective radius sd11 of the object side lens surface of the first lens 110 is 6.600 mm, and the maximum image height HOI is 1.934 mm. Therefore, the following condition 2 is satisfied:

2.000<sd11/HOI<4.000 (2)

In condition 2, if sd11/HOI is 2.000 or less, a position on the optical axis where a beam passes is close to a position outside the optical axis where the beam passes, making it difficult to satisfactorily correct the curvature of field. On the other hand, if sd11/HOI is 4.000 or greater, the diameter of the first lens 110 increases, making it difficult to miniaturize the wide-angle lens.

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the object-to-image distance d is 13.398 mm, and the maximum image height HOI is 1.934 mm. Therefore, the following condition 3 is satisfied:

5.000<d/HOI<8.000 (3)

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the third lens 130 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fourth lens 140 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fifth lens 150 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side, the sixth lens 160 is a negative lens with a concave surface facing the image side, and the seventh lens 170 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side. Moreover, the combined effective focal length f1234 of the first lens 110, the second lens 120, the third lens 130 and the fourth lens 140 is 4.142 mm, and the combined effective focal length f567 of the fifth lens 150, the sixth lens 160 and the seventh lens 170 is 3.679 mm. Therefore, the following condition 4 is satisfied:

0.800<f1234/f567<8.000 (4)

In contrast, in this embodiment, since condition 4 is satisfied, it is relatively easy to make appropriate correction to various aberrations and to realize miniaturization.

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the third lens 130 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fourth lens 140 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fifth lens 150 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side, the sixth lens 160 is a negative lens with a concave surface facing the image side, and the seventh lens 170 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side. Moreover, the combined effective focal length f567 of the fifth lens 150, the sixth lens 160 and the seventh lens 170 is 3.679 mm, and the effective focal length f of the lens system as a whole is 1.021 mm. Therefore, the following condition 5 is satisfied:

2.800<f567/f<3.850 (5)

In contrast, in this embodiment, since condition 5 is satisfied, it is easy to make appropriate correction to various aberrations (especially chromatic aberration) and to realize miniaturization.

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the object-to-image distance d is 13.398 mm, and the effective focal length f of the lens system as a whole is 1.021 mm. Therefore, the following condition 6 is satisfied:

Therefore, it is easy to realize an imaging lens capable of projecting a relatively large image of a peripheral part, and it is possible to suppress distortion and aberration of the peripheral part.

In summary, in this embodiment, by configuring the wide-angle lens 1000 as above, as shown in FIG. 18A to FIG. 20L, the object-to-image distance is able to be reduced, thereby miniaturizing the wide-angle lens as a whole.

In Table 12-1 and Table 12-2 above, in a case where a lens surface is a convex surface protruding toward the object side or a concave surface recessed toward the object side, its radius of curvature is set to a positive value; in a case where a lens surface is a convex surface protruding toward the image side or a concave surface recessed toward the image side, its radius of curvature is set to a negative value.

In addition, Table 12-1 and Table 12-2 above show the aspheric coefficients A4, A6, A8, A10, A12, A14 and A16 of each of the aspheric surfaces, which satisfy expression 1 above.

Here, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the combined effective focal length f12 of the first lens 110 and the second lens 120 is −1.310 mm, and the maximum image height HOI is 2.061 mm. Therefore, the following condition 1 is satisfied:

−1.000<f12/HOI<−0.400 (1)

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the effective radius sd11 of the object side lens surface of the first lens 110 is 6.660 mm, and the maximum image height HOT is 2.061 mm. Therefore, the following condition 2 is satisfied:

2.000<sd11/HOI<4.000 (2)

In condition 2, if sd11/HOI is 2.000 or less, a position on the optical axis where a beam passes is close to a position outside the optical axis where the beam passes, making it difficult to satisfactorily correct the curvature of field. On the other hand, if sd11/HOI is 4.000 or greater, the diameter of the first lens 110 increases, making it difficult to miniaturize the wide-angle lens.

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the object-to-image distance d is 13.383 mm, and the maximum image height HOI is 2.061 mm. Therefore, the following condition 3 is satisfied:

5.000<d/HOI<8.000 (3)

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the third lens 130 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fourth lens 140 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fifth lens 150 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side, the sixth lens 160 is a negative lens with a concave surface facing the image side, and the seventh lens 170 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side. Moreover, the combined effective focal length f1234 of the first lens 110, the second lens 120, the third lens 130 and the fourth lens 140 is 4.528 mm, and the combined effective focal length f567 of the fifth lens 150, the sixth lens 160 and the seventh lens 170 is 3.546 mm. Therefore, the following condition 4 is satisfied:

0.800<f1234/f567<8.000 (4)

In contrast, in this embodiment, since condition 4 is satisfied, it is relatively easy to make appropriate correction to various aberrations and to realize miniaturization.

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the third lens 130 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fourth lens 140 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fifth lens 150 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side, the sixth lens 160 is a negative lens with a concave surface facing the image side, and the seventh lens 170 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side. Moreover, the combined effective focal length f567 of the fifth lens 150, the sixth lens 160 and the seventh lens 170 is 3.546 mm, and the effective focal length f of the lens system as a whole is 1.018 mm. Therefore, the following condition 5 is satisfied:

2.800<f567/f<3.850 (5)

In contrast, in this embodiment, since condition 5 is satisfied, it is easy to make appropriate correction to various aberrations (especially chromatic aberration) and to realize miniaturization.

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the object-to-image distance d is 13.383 mm, and the effective focal length f of the lens system as a whole is 1.018 mm. Therefore, the following condition 6 is satisfied:

11.000<d/f<15.000 (6)

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the effective focal length f of the lens system as a whole is 1.018 mm, the HFOV θ is 108/180, the maximum image height HOI is 2.061 mm, and fθ<HOI<2f·tan(θ/2) is satisfied. Therefore, it is easy to realize an imaging lens capable of projecting a relatively large image of a peripheral part, and it is possible to suppress distortion and aberration of the peripheral part.

In summary, in this embodiment, by configuring the wide-angle lens 1000 as above, as shown in FIG. 22A to FIG. 24L, the object-to-image distance is able to be reduced, thereby miniaturizing the wide-angle lens as a whole. Moreover, it is easy to make appropriate correction to curvature of field, chromatic aberration of magnification, and coma, thereby realizing good optical characteristics.

In addition, Table 14-1 and Table 14-2 above show the aspheric coefficients A4, A6, A8, A10, A12, A14 and A16 of each of the aspheric surfaces, which satisfy expression 1 above.

−1.000<f12/HOI<−0.400 (1)

2.000<sd11/HOI<4.000 (2)

In condition 2, if sd11/HOI is 2.000 or less, a position on the optical axis where a beam passes is close to a position outside the optical axis where the beam passes, making it difficult to satisfactorily correct the curvature of field. On the other hand, if sd11/HOI is 4.000 or greater, the diameter of the first lens 110 increases, making it difficult to miniaturize the wide-angle lens.

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the object-to-image distance d is 13.381 mm, and the maximum image height HOI is 2.061 mm. Therefore, the following condition 3 is satisfied:

5.000<d/HOI<8.000 (3)

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the third lens 130 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fourth lens 140 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fifth lens 150 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side, the sixth lens 160 is a negative lens with a concave surface facing the image side, and the seventh lens 170 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side. Moreover, the combined effective focal length f1234 of the first lens 110, the second lens 120, the third lens 130 and the fourth lens 140 is 4.815 mm, and the combined effective focal length f567 of the fifth lens 150, the sixth lens 160 and the seventh lens 170 is 3.557 mm. Therefore, the following condition 4 is satisfied:

0.800<f1234/f567<8.000 (4)

In contrast, in this embodiment, since condition 4 is satisfied, it is relatively easy to make appropriate correction to various aberrations and to realize miniaturization.

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the third lens 130 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fourth lens 140 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fifth lens 150 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side, the sixth lens 160 is a negative lens with a concave surface facing the image side, and the seventh lens 170 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side. Moreover, the combined effective focal length f567 of the fifth lens 150, the sixth lens 160 and the seventh lens 170 is 3.557 mm, and the effective focal length f of the lens system as a whole is 1.019 mm. Therefore, the following condition 5 is satisfied:

2.800<f567/f<3.850 (5)

In contrast, in this embodiment, since condition 5 is satisfied, it is easy to make appropriate correction to various aberrations (especially chromatic aberration) and to realize miniaturization.

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the object-to-image distance d is 13.381 mm, and the effective focal length f of the lens system as a whole is 1.019 mm. Therefore, the following condition 6 is satisfied:

11.000<d/f<15.000 (6)

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the effective focal length f of the lens system as a whole is 1.019 mm, the HFOV θ is 108/180, the maximum image height HOI is 2.061 mm, and fθ<HOI<2f·tan(θ/2) is satisfied. Therefore, it is easy to realize an imaging lens capable of projecting a relatively large image of a peripheral part, and it is possible to suppress distortion and aberration of the peripheral part.

In summary, in this embodiment, by configuring the wide-angle lens 1000 as above, as shown in FIG. 26A to FIG. 28L, the object-to-image distance is able to be reduced, thereby miniaturizing the wide-angle lens as a whole. Moreover, it is easy to make appropriate correction to curvature of field, chromatic aberration of magnification, and coma, thereby realizing good optical characteristics.

Among them, the sixth lens 160 and the seventh lens 170 are bonded together by an adhesive to constitute a cemented lens.

As shown in FIG. 29, similarly to Embodiment 1, the light-shielding sheet 190 is provided between the second lens 120 and the third lens 130, the filter 200 is arranged on the image side of the seventh lens 170, and the imaging element 300 is arranged on the image side of the filter 200.

In Table 16-1 and Table 16-2 above, in a case where a lens surface is a convex surface protruding toward the object side or a concave surface recessed toward the object side, its radius of curvature is set to a positive value; in a case where a lens surface is a convex surface protruding toward the image side or a concave surface recessed toward the image side, its radius of curvature is set to a negative value.

In addition, Table 16-1 and Table 16-2 above show the aspheric coefficients A4, A6, A8, A10, A12, A14 and A16 of each of the aspheric surfaces, which satisfy expression 1 above.

Here, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the combined effective focal length f12 of the first lens 110 and the second lens 120 is −1.262 mm, and the maximum image height HOI is 2.135 mm. Therefore, the following condition 1 is satisfied:

−1.000<f12/HOI<−0.400 (1)

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the effective radius sd11 of the object side lens surface of the first lens 110 is 6.461 mm, and the maximum image height HOT is 2.135 mm. Therefore, the following condition 2 is satisfied:

2.000<sd11/HOI<4.000 (2)

In condition 2, if sd11/HOI is 2.000 or less, a position on the optical axis where a beam passes is close to a position outside the optical axis where the beam passes, making it difficult to satisfactorily correct the curvature of field. On the other hand, if sd11/HOI is 4.000 or greater, the diameter of the first lens 110 increases, making it difficult to miniaturize the wide-angle lens.

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the object-to-image distance d is 13.609 mm, and the maximum image height HOI is 2.135 mm. Therefore, the following condition 3 is satisfied:

5.000<d/HOI<8.000 (3)

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the third lens 130 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fourth lens 140 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fifth lens 150 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side, the sixth lens 160 is a negative lens with a concave surface facing the image side, and the seventh lens 170 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side. Moreover, the combined effective focal length f1234 of the first lens 110, the second lens 120, the third lens 130 and the fourth lens 140 is 21.864 mm, and the combined effective focal length f567 of the fifth lens 150, the sixth lens 160 and the seventh lens 170 is 3.125 mm. Therefore, the following condition 4 is satisfied:

0.800<f1234/f567<8.000 (4)

In contrast, in this embodiment, since condition 4 is satisfied, it is relatively easy to make appropriate correction to various aberrations and to realize miniaturization.

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the third lens 130 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fourth lens 140 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fifth lens 150 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side, the sixth lens 160 is a negative lens with a concave surface facing the image side, and the seventh lens 170 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side. Moreover, the combined effective focal length f567 of the fifth lens 150, the sixth lens 160 and the seventh lens 170 is 3.125 mm, and the effective focal length f of the lens system as a whole is 1.030 mm. Therefore, the following condition 5 is satisfied:

2.800<f567/f<3.850 (5)

In contrast, in this embodiment, since condition 5 is satisfied, it is easy to make appropriate correction to various aberrations (especially chromatic aberration) and to realize miniaturization.

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the object-to-image distance d is 13.609 mm, and the effective focal length f of the lens system as a whole is 1.030 mm. Therefore, the following condition 6 is satisfied:

11.000<d/f<15.000 (6)

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the effective focal length f of the lens system as a whole is 1.030 mm, the HFOV θ is 106/180, the maximum image height HOI is 2.135 mm, and fθ<HOI<2f·tan(θ/2) is satisfied. Therefore, it is easy to realize an imaging lens capable of projecting a relatively large image of a peripheral part, and it is possible to suppress distortion and aberration of the peripheral part.

In summary, in this embodiment, by configuring the wide-angle lens 1000 as above, as shown in FIG. 30A to FIG. 32L, the object-to-image distance is able to be reduced, thereby miniaturizing the wide-angle lens as a whole. Moreover, it is easy to make appropriate correction to curvature of field, chromatic aberration of magnification, and coma, thereby realizing good optical characteristics.

In Table 18-1 and Table 18-2 above, in a case where a lens surface is a convex surface protruding toward the object side or a concave surface recessed toward the object side, its radius of curvature is set to a positive value; in a case where a lens surface is a convex surface protruding toward the image side or a concave surface recessed toward the image side, its radius of curvature is set to a negative value.

In addition, Table 18-1 and Table 18-2 above show the aspheric coefficients A4, A6, A8, A10, A12, A14 and A16 of each of the aspheric surfaces, which satisfy expression 1 above.

Here, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the combined effective focal length f12 of the first lens 110 and the second lens 120 is −1.415 mm, and the maximum image height HOI is 2.059 mm. Therefore, the following condition 1 is satisfied:

−1.000<f12/HOI<−0.400 (1)

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the effective radius sd11 of the object side lens surface of the first lens 110 is 6.600 mm, and the maximum image height HOI is 2.059 mm. Therefore, the following condition 2 is satisfied:

2.000<sd11/HOI<4.000 (2)

In condition 2, if sd11/HOI is 2.000 or less, a position on the optical axis where a beam passes is close to a position outside the optical axis where the beam passes, making it difficult to satisfactorily correct the curvature of field. On the other hand, if sd11/HOI is 4.000 or greater, the diameter of the first lens 110 increases, making it difficult to miniaturize the wide-angle lens.

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the object-to-image distance d is 13.397 mm, and the maximum image height HOI is 2.059 mm. Therefore, the following condition 3 is satisfied:

5.000<d/HOI<8.000 (3)

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the third lens 130 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fourth lens 140 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fifth lens 150 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side, the sixth lens 160 is a negative lens with a concave surface facing the image side, and the seventh lens 170 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side. Moreover, the combined effective focal length f1234 of the first lens 110, the second lens 120, the third lens 130 and the fourth lens 140 is 26.363 mm, and the combined effective focal length f567 of the fifth lens 150, the sixth lens 160 and the seventh lens 170 is 3.374 mm. Therefore, the following condition 4 is satisfied:

In contrast, in this embodiment, since condition 4 is satisfied, it is relatively easy to make appropriate correction to various aberrations and to realize miniaturization.

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the third lens 130 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fourth lens 140 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the image side, the fifth lens 150 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side, the sixth lens 160 is a negative lens with a concave surface facing the image side, and the seventh lens 170 is a positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex surface facing the image side. Moreover, the combined effective focal length f567 of the fifth lens 150, the sixth lens 160 and the seventh lens 170 is 3.374 mm, and the effective focal length f of the lens system as a whole is 1.019 mm. Therefore, the following condition 5 is satisfied:

2.800<f567/f<3.850 (5)

In contrast, in this embodiment, since condition 5 is satisfied, it is easy to make appropriate correction to various aberrations (especially chromatic aberration) and to realize miniaturization.

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the object-to-image distance d is 13.397 mm, and the effective focal length f of the lens system as a whole is 1.019 mm. Therefore, the following condition 6 is satisfied:

11.000<d/f<15.000 (6)

In addition, in the wide-angle lens 1000, the effective focal length f of the lens system as a whole is 1.019 mm, the HFOV θ is 108.004/180, the maximum image height HOI is 2.059 mm, and fθ<HOI<2f·tan(θ/2) is satisfied. Therefore, it is easy to realize an imaging lens capable of projecting a relatively large image of a peripheral part, and it is possible to suppress distortion and aberration of the peripheral part.

In summary, in this embodiment, by configuring the wide-angle lens 1000 as above, as shown in FIG. 34A to FIG. 36L, the object-to-image distance is able to be reduced, thereby miniaturizing the wide-angle lens as a whole. Moreover, it is easy to make appropriate correction to curvature of field, chromatic aberration of magnification, and coma, thereby realizing good optical characteristics.
