Description

    CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
  • This non-provisional application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) on Patent Application No. 101109619 filed in Taiwan R.O.C on Mar. 21, 2012, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
  • BACKGROUND
  • 1. Technical Field
  • The present disclosure relates to an imaging lens system, and more particularly, to a compact imaging lens system used in electronic products or an imaging lens system in three-dimensions imaging.
  • 2. Description of the Prior Art
  • In recent years, with the popularity of portable electronic products having photographing function, the demand of compact imaging lens system has grown. Generally, the sensor of a general photographing camera is none other than CCD (Charge Coupled Device) or CMOS device (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor device). Furthermore, advances in semiconductor manufacturing technology have allowed the pixel size of sensors to be reduced and therefore lead compact imaging lens systems to higher resolution. In the meantime, the demand for better image quality is also increased.
  • A conventional compact photographing optical lens assembly, in order to reduce manufacturing costs, is usually composed of a two-lens structure, such as a two-lens imaging lens assembly disclosed by U.S. Pat. No. 7,525,741. However, two-lens structure has limited ability in correcting aberrations, which is unable to satisfy the demand of high level imaging modules. On the other hand, utilizing too many lens elements in the assembly will also be difficult for the total track length of the lens assembly to stay compact.
  • To obtain high image quality while maintaining the compact feature of the lens assembly, photographing optical lens assembly with three lens elements proves to be the solution. U.S. Pat. No. 7,564,635 discloses a photographing optical lens assembly with three lens elements. However, three lens elements of the lens assembly are all positive refractive lens elements, which make it difficult to correct the aberration (such as chromatic aberration) in the system and the image quality is compensated. Therefore, a need exists in the art for a photographing optical lens assembly that features high image quality without having a long total track length and applicable in portable electronic products.
  • SUMMARY
  • By the following disclosed arrangement, the imaging lens system of the invention makes the central thickness of the second lens element more favorable for not only the efficient spatial arrangement of the lens assembly but also the simpler individual lens production while assuring suitable thickness of the second lens element, thereby assuring image quality and improving yield rate of the product.
  • The present disclosure provides an imaging lens system comprising, in order from an object side to an image side: a first lens element with positive refractive power; a plastic second lens element with negative refractive power having a concave object-side surface and a convex image-side surface, both surfaces thereof being aspheric; and a plastic third lens element with negative refractive power having a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface, both surfaces thereof being aspheric, and at least one inflection point is formed on at least one of the object-side and image-side surfaces thereof; wherein there are three lens elements with refractive power in the imaging lens system; the second lens element has the greatest central thickness among the three lens elements; a central thickness of the first lens element is CT1, a central thickness of the second lens element is CT2, a central thickness of the third lens element is CT3, a curvature radius of the object-side surface of the first lens element is R1, a curvature radius of the image-side surface of the first lens element is R2, an axial distance between the second lens element and the third lens element is T23, and they satisfy the following relations: 0.35<CT1/CT2<1.00; 0.35<CT3/CT2<1.00; −3.0<(R1+R2)/(R1−R2)<0; and 0.65<T23/CT3<1.80.

  • Furthermore, the present disclosure provides an imaging lens system comprising, in order from an object side to an image side: a first lens element with positive refractive power; a plastic second lens element with negative refractive power having a concave object-side surface and a convex image-side surface, both surfaces thereof being aspheric; and a plastic third lens element with negative refractive power having a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface, both surfaces thereof being aspheric, and at least one inflection point is formed on at least one of the object-side and image-side surfaces thereof; wherein there are three lens elements with refractive power in the imaging lens system; the second lens element has the greatest central thickness among the three lens elements; a central thickness of the first lens element is CT1, a central thickness of the second lens element is CT2, a central thickness of the third lens element is CT3, a curvature radius of the object-side surface of the first lens element is R1, a curvature radius of the image-side surface of the first lens element is R2, an Abbe number of the second lens element is V2, and they satisfy the following relations: 0.35<CT1/CT2<1.00; 0.35<CT3/CT2<1.00; −3.0<(R1+R2)/(R1−R2)<0; and 15<V2<24.5.

The second lens element has negative refractive power so that the aberration generated by the first lens element having positive refractive power and the chromatic aberration of the system can be favorably corrected. The third lens element has negative refractive power so that the principal point of the optical system can be positioned away from the image plane and thereby reducing the total optical track length of the system for keeping the lens compact

When the third lens element is a meniscus lens element with a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface, it facilitates the correction of the astigmatism and high order aberrations of the system.
