DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

[0025] The embodiments of the camera lens according to the present invention will be described below. The camera lens LA is provided with a lens system. The lens system is a five-lens structure and includes a first lens L1, a second lens L2, a third lens L3, a fourth lens L4, and a fifth lens L5 that are arranged from an object side to an image side. A glass plate GF is arranged between the fifth lens L5 and an image plane. A cover glass plate and various filters can be considered as the glass flat plate GF. In the present invention, the glass plate GF may be arranged at different positions, or may also be omitted.

[0026] The first lens L1 is a lens having a positive refractive power, the second lens L2 is a lens having a negative refractive power, the third lens L3 is a lens having a positive refractive power, the fourth lens L4 is a lens having a negative refractive power, and the fifth lens L5 is a lens having a negative refractive power. In order to correct various aberrations, it is desirable to design all surfaces of these five lenses as aspherical surfaces.

[0027] The camera lens LA satisfies the following conditions (1) to (4):

1.75≤nd1≤1.84   (1);

0.195≤d1/f≤0.210   (2);

0.200≤(nd1/R1)/f≤0.210   (3); and

0.035≤(nd1/R2)/f≤0.060   (4), [0028] where nd1 denotes a refractive index of d line of the first lens L1; [0029] d1 denotes a center thickness of the first lens L1; [0030] f denotes a focal length of the camera lens; [0031] R1 denotes a curvature radius of an object side surface of the first lens L1; and [0032] R2 denotes a curvature radius of an image side surface of the first lens L1.

[0033] The condition (1) specifies the refractive index nd1 of d line of the first lens L1. If it is smaller than the lower limit of condition (1), the refractive index is relatively small, which is not preferable in terms of miniaturization. On the other hand, if it is greater than the upper limit, the positive refractive power is such great that the spherical aberration and coma are hardly to be corrected, which is not preferable.

[0034] The condition (2) specifies a relation between the center thickness d1 of the first lens L1 and the focal length f of the camera lens LA. If it is smaller than the lower limit of condition (2), the spherical aberration and coma are hardly to be corrected, which is not preferable in terms of brightening Fno. On the other hand, it is not preferable for the miniaturization if it is greater than the upper limit.

[0035] By satisfying the conditions (3) and (4), the camera lens, which consists of five lenses and has good optical properties in near-infrared light, a small size and a bright Fno, can be obtained.

[0036] The condition (3) specifies a positive refractive power distribution of the curvature radius R1 of the object side surface of the first lens L1, and the condition (4) specifies a negative refractive power distribution of the curvature radius R2 of the image side surface of the first lens L1. Within the ranges of the conditions (3) and (4), the positive and negative refractive power distributions of R1 and R2 fail to be optimized, and thus the miniaturization and the brightening of Fno are difficult, which is not preferable.

[0037] The camera lens further satisfies following conditions (5) to (6):

0.50≤f1/f≤0.60   (5); and

−1.10≤f2/f≤−1.00   (6), [0038] where f denotes the focal length of the camera lens; [0039] f1 denotes a focal length of the first lens; and [0040] f2 denotes a focal length of the second lens.

[0041] The condition (5) specifies a relation between the focal length f1 of the first lens L1 and the focal length f of the camera lens. By limiting the focal length of the first lens within the range of condition (5), the miniaturization can be achieved, and the spherical aberration and coma can be well corrected.

[0042] If it is smaller than the upper limit of the condition (5), the refractive power of the first lens will not be too weak, which is conducive to the miniaturization. On the other hand, if it is greater than the lower limit, the refractive power of the first lens will not be too strong, which is advantageous for the miniaturization, and the spherical aberration and coma can be easily corrected.

[0043] The condition (6) specifies a relation between the focal length f2 of the second lens L2 and the focal length f of the camera lens. If it is greater than the lower limit of the condition (6), the refractive power of the second lens will not be insufficient, and thus aberrations can be easily and sufficiently corrected. On the other hand, if it is smaller than the upper limit, the refractive power of the second lens will not be too strong, the spherical aberration and coma can be easily corrected, and an error sensitivity during manufacturing will not become strict.

[0044] If the five lenses of the camera lens LA satisfy the above construction and conditions, the camera lens, which consists of five lenses and has good optical properties in near-infrared light, a small size of TTL/f≤1.25 and a bright Fno, can be obtained.
