Description

BACKGROUND

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a six-piece optical lens system with a wide field of view, and more particularly to a miniaturized six-piece optical lens system with a wide field of view which is applicable to electronic products.

Description of the Prior Art

In recent years, with the popularity of electronic products with the function of taking photographs, there's an increasing demand for an optical lens system. In order to obtain a wider shooting range, the lens angle should meet certain requirements. The field of view of the lens is usually designed to be 50 to 60 degrees, if over the above design angle, the aberration is larger and the lens design is more complex. For example, the optical lens systems as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 8,335,043 and 8,576,497 use two lens groups and 5-6 pieces of lens elements to obtain a wide field of view, however, their distortion is increased. The optical lens systems as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 8,593,737, 8,576,497 and 8,395,853 also have a wide field of view, but their TL (total length) of the entire optical lens system is too long.
Therefore, how to develop a miniaturized six-piece optical lens system with a wide field of view which not only can be applied to lenses of the electronic products, such as, digital camera, Webcam, mobile phone and so on, but also has a wide field of view, and can reduce the aberration and the design complexity is the motivation of the present invention.

In the present six-piece optical lens system with a wide field of view, the lens elements can be made of plastic or glass. If the lens elements are made of plastic, the cost will be effectively reduced. If the lens elements are made of glass, there is more freedom in distributing the refractive power of the six-piece optical lens system with a wide field of view. Plastic lens elements can have aspheric surfaces, which allow more design parameter freedom (than spherical surfaces), so as to reduce the aberration and the number of the lens elements, as well as the total track length of the six-piece optical lens system with a wide field of view.
In the present six-piece optical lens system with a wide field of view, if the object-side or the image-side surface of the lens elements with refractive power is convex and the location of the convex surface is not defined, the object-side or the image-side surface of the lens elements near the optical axis is convex. If the object-side or the image-side surface of the lens elements is concave and the location of the concave surface is not defined, the object-side or the image-side surface of the lens elements near the optical axis is concave.
The six-piece optical lens system with a wide field of view of the present invention can be used in focusing optical systems and can obtain better image quality. The six-piece optical lens system with a wide field of view of the present invention can also be used in electronic imaging systems, such as, 3D image capturing, digital camera, mobile device, digital flat panel or vehicle camera.
While we have shown and described various embodiments in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
