Therefore, it is favorable for evenly distributing the refractive powers of the photographing optical lens assembly so as to reduce the refractive angle of the incident light. It is also favorable for correcting the aberration of the photographing optical lens assembly so as to improve the image quality.
[0074] When an Abbe number of the first lens element is V1, the Abbe number of the second lens element is V2, an Abbe number of the third lens element is V3, an Abbe number of the fourth lens element is V4, an Abbe number of the fifth lens element is V5, an Abbe number of the sixth lens element is V6, an Abbe number of the seventh lens element is V7, and at least three lens elements among the first lens element to the seventh lens element satisfy the following condition: Vi<26.0, wherein i=1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 (For example, in the second embodiment described below).

[0075] When the vertical distance between the non-axial critical point on the image-side surface of the sixth lens element and the optical axis is Yc62, a vertical distance between a non-axial critical point on the object-side surface of the sixth lens element and an optical axis is Yc61, the following condition is satisfied: 0.30<Yc62/Yc61<1.80.

[0076] When the focal length of the photographing optical lens assembly is f, the focal length of the third lens element is f3, the following condition is satisfied: −0.5<f/f3<0.6. Therefore, it is favorable for effectively reducing the sensitivity of the photographing optical lens assembly so as to increase the yield rate.
[0077] When the axial distance between the first lens element and the second lens element is T12, the axial distance between the second lens element and the third lens element is T23, the axial distance between the third lens element and the fourth lens element is T34, the axial distance between the fourth lens element and the fifth lens element is T45, the axial distance between the fifth lens element and the sixth lens element is T56, the axial distance between the sixth lens element and the seventh lens element is T67, the following condition is satisfied: 0<(T12/T23)+(T34/T45)+(T56/T67)<3.8.

Therefore, it is favorable for effectively correcting the Petzval's sum of the photographing optical lens assembly so as to improve the flatness of the image surface.
[0080] According to the optical imaging lens assembly of the present disclosure, an air gap in a paraxial region is arranged between any two of the first lens element, the second lens element, the third lens element, the fourth lens element, the fifth lens element, the sixth lens element, and the seventh lens element that are adjacent to each other, that is, each of the first through seventh lens elements of the photographing optical lens assembly is a single and non-cemented lens element. Moreover, the manufacturing process of the cemented lenses is more complex than the non-cemented lenses. In particular, an image-side surface of one lens element and an object-side surface of the following lens element need to have accurate curvature to ensure these two lens elements will be highly cemented. However, during the cementing process, those two lens elements might not be highly cemented due to displacement and it is thereby not favorable for the image quality of the photographing optical lens assembly. Therefore, there is an air gap in a paraxial region between any two of the first lens element, the second lens element, the third lens element, the fourth lens element, the fifth lens element, the sixth lens element, and the seventh lens element that are adjacent to each other in the present disclosure for solving the problem generated by the cemented lens elements.
[0081] According to the photographing optical lens assembly of the present disclosure, an aperture stop can be configured as a front stop or a middle stop. A front stop disposed between an imaged object and the first lens element can provide a longer distance between an exit pupil of the photographing optical lens assembly and the image surface and thereby improves the image-sensing efficiency of an image sensor. A middle stop disposed between the first lens element and the image surface is favorable for enlarging the field of view of the photographing optical lens assembly and thereby provides a wider field of view for the same.
[0082] According to the photographing optical lens assembly of the present disclosure, the lens elements thereof can be made of glass or plastic material. When the lens elements are made of glass material, the distribution of the refractive power of the photographing optical lens assembly may be more flexible to design. When the lens elements are made of plastic material, the manufacturing cost can be effectively reduced. Furthermore, surfaces of each lens element can be arranged to be aspheric, since the aspheric surface of the lens element is easy to form a shape other than spherical surface so as to have more controllable variables for eliminating the aberration thereof, and to further decrease the required number of the lens elements. Therefore, the total track length of the photographing optical lens assembly can also be reduced.
[0083] According to the photographing optical lens assembly of the present disclosure, each of an object-side surface and an image-side surface has a paraxial region and an off-axis region. The paraxial region refers to the region of the surface where light rays travel close to the optical axis, and the off-axis region refers to the region of the surface away from the paraxial region. Particularly, when the lens element has a convex surface, it indicates that the surface is convex in the paraxial region thereof; when the lens element has a concave surface, it indicates that the surface is concave in the paraxial region thereof. Moreover, when a lens element has a refractive power or a focus, it indicates the lens element has the refractive power in the paraxial region thereof or has the focus in the paraxial region thereof. Moreover, when the region of refractive power or focus of a lens element is not defined, it indicates that the region of refractive power or focus of the lens element is in the paraxial region thereof.
[0084] According to the photographing optical lens assembly of the present disclosure, an image surface of the photographing optical lens assembly, based on the corresponding image sensor, can be flat or curved, especially a curved surface being concave facing towards the object side of the photographing optical lens assembly.
[0085] According to the photographing optical lens assembly of the present disclosure, a critical point on a lens surface of a lens element is a non-axial point of the lens surface where its tangent is perpendicular to an optical axis. As seen in FIG. 27 , FIG. 27 is a schematic view of Yc61 and Yc62 of a sixth lens element and Yc72 of a seventh lens element in FIG. 1 . The critical point on the object-side surface of the sixth lens element is a non-axial point on the object-side surface of the sixth lens element where its tangent is perpendicular to the optical axis. The critical point on the image-side surface of the sixth lens element is a non-axial point on the image-side surface of the sixth lens element where its tangent is perpendicular to the optical axis. The critical point on the image-side surface of the seventh lens element is a non-axial point on the image-side surface of the seventh lens element where its tangent is perpendicular to the optical axis. Specifically, the critical points mentioned above are not located on the optical axis.
[0086] According to the photographing optical lens assembly of the present disclosure, the photographing optical lens assembly can include at least one stop, such as an aperture stop, a glare stop or a field stop. Said glare stop or said field stop is set for eliminating the stray light and thereby improving the image quality thereof.
[0087] According to the present disclosure, an image capturing unit is provided. The image capturing unit includes the photographing optical lens assembly according to the aforementioned photographing optical lens assembly of the present disclosure, and an image sensor, wherein the image sensor is disposed on the image side of the aforementioned photographing optical lens assembly, that is, the image sensor can be disposed on or near an image surface of the aforementioned photographing optical lens assembly. In some embodiments, the image capturing unit can further include a barrel member, a holding member or a combination thereof.
[0088] In FIG. 28 , FIG. 29 and FIG. 30 , an image capturing device 10 may be installed in, but not limited to, an electronic device, including a smart phone (FIG. 28 ), a tablet personal computer (FIG. 29 ) or a wearable device (FIG. 30 ).
