In addition, the present invention shall be defined only by the appended claims.

The optical image capturing system may also use five sets of wavelengths which are respectively 470 nm, 510 nm, 555 nm, 610 nm and 650 nm, wherein 555 nm is served as the primary reference wavelength and a reference wavelength for retrieving technical features.
[0066] The ratio of the focal length f of the optical image capturing system to a focal length fp of each of lenses with positive refractive power is denoted by PPR. The ratio of the focal length f of the optical image capturing system to a focal length fn of each of lenses with negative refractive power is denoted by NPR. The sum of the PPR of all lenses with positive refractive power is ΣPPR. The sum of the NPR of all lenses with negative refractive power is ΣNPR. The control of the total refractive power and the total length of the optical image capturing system is favorable when following condition is satisfied: 0.5≤ΣPPR/|ΣNPR|≤4.5. Preferably, the following condition is satisfied: 1≤ΣPPR/|ΣNPR|≤3.5.
[0067] The height of the optical image capturing system is HOS. It will facilitate the manufacturing of miniaturized optical image capturing system which may form images with ultra high pixels when the specific ratio value of HOS/f tends to 1.

The following conditions are satisfied: 0<ΣPP≤200; and f1/ΣPP≤0.85. Preferably, the following conditions are satisfied: 0<ΣPP≤150; and 0.01≤f1/ΣPP≤0.7. Hereby, this configuration is helpful to control focus ability of the optical image capturing system, and distribute the positive refractive power of a single lens to other lens with positive refractive powers in an appropriate way, such that the unnecessary aberration will not appear too early.

Moreover, at least one surface of the fourth lens may possess at least one inflection point, which is capable of effectively reducing the incident angle of the off-axis rays, thereby further correcting the off-axis aberration.

If the aperture is the front aperture, a longer distance may be created between the exit pupil and the image plane in the optical image capturing module, so that more optical elements may be accommodated and the efficiency of image sensor elements receiving images may be increased. If the aperture is the middle aperture, the field of view of the system may be expended in such a way that the optical image capturing module has the advantages of a wide-angle lens. InS is defined as the distance from the aforementioned aperture to the image plane, which satisfies the following condition: 0.5≤InS/HOS≤1.1.

[0092] In one embodiment of the optical image capturing system of the present invention, the chromatic aberration of the optical image capturing system can be corrected by alternatively arranging the lenses with large coefficient of dispersion and small coefficient of dispersion.
[0093] The equation for the aspheric surface as mentioned above is:
z=ch.sup.2/[1+[1(k+1)c.sup.2h.sup.2].sup.0.5]+A4h.sup.4+A6h.sup.6+A8h.sup.8+A10h.sup.10+A12h.sup.12+A14h.sup.14+A16h.sup.16+A18h.sup.18+A20h.sup.20+ . . . (1)
wherein z is the position value of the position along the optical axis at the height h where the surface apex is regarded as a reference; k is the conic coefficient; c is the reciprocal of curvature radius; and A4, A6, A8, A10, A12, A14, A16, A18, and A20 are high order aspheric coefficients.
[0094] In the optical image capturing module provided by the present disclosure, the material of the lens may be made of glass or plastic. Using plastic as the material for producing the lens may effectively reduce the cost of manufacturing. In addition, using glass as the material for producing the lens may control the heat effect and increase the designed space configured by the refractive power of the optical image capturing module. Moreover, the object side surface and the image side surface from the first lens to the fourth lens may be aspheric, which may obtain more control variables. Apart from eliminating the aberration, the number of lenses used may be reduced compared with that of traditional lenses used made by glass. Thus, the total height of the optical image capturing module may be reduced effectively.
[0095] Furthermore, in the optical image capturing system provided by the present invention, when the surface of the lens is a convex surface, the surface of the lens adjacent to the optical axis is convex in principle. When the surface of the lens is a concave surface, the surface of the lens adjacent to the optical axis is concave in principle.
[0096] In addition, in the optical image capturing system of the present invention, according to different requirements, at least one aperture may be arranged for reducing stray light and improving the image quality.
[0097] The optical image capturing system of the present invention can be applied to the optical image capturing system with automatic focus based on the demand and has the characteristics of good aberration correction and good image quality. Thereby, the optical image capturing system expands the application aspect.
[0098] The optical image capturing system of the present invention can further include a driving module based on the demand. The driving module may be coupled with the lens and enable the movement of the lens. The foregoing driving module may be the voice coil motor (VCM) which is applied to move the lens to focus, or may be the optical image stabilization (OIS) which is applied to reduce the frequency which lead to the out focus due to the vibration of the camera lens in the shooting process.
[0099] At least one of the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, and the fourth lens of the optical image capturing system of the present invention may further be designed as a light filtering element with a wavelength of less than 500 nm based on the demand. The light filtering element may be made by coating film on at least one surface of that lens with certain filtering function, or forming that lens with material that can filter light with short wavelength.
[0100] The image plane of the optical image capturing system of the present invention may be a plane or a curved surface based on the design requirements. When the image plane is a curved surface (e.g. a spherical surface with curvature radius), the decrease of the required incident angle to focus rays on the image plane is helpful. In addition to the aid of the miniaturization of the length of the optical image capturing system (TTL), this configuration is helpful to elevate the relative illumination at the same time.
