[0004] 2. Description of Related Art

[0005] In recent years, with the popularity of mobile products with camera functionalities, the demand of miniaturized optical lens systems is increasing. The sensor of a conventional photographing camera is typically a CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) or a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) sensor. As the advanced semiconductor manufacturing technologies have allowed the pixel size of sensors to be reduced and compact optical lens systems have gradually evolved toward the field of higher megapixels, there is an increasing demand for compact optical lens systems featuring better image quality.

[0006] A conventional compact optical lens system employed in a portable electronic product mainly adopts a four-element lens structure such as the one disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 8,179,470. Due to the popularity of mobile products with high-end specifications, such as smartphones, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants) and Tablet PC, the requirements for high resolution and better image quality of modern compact optical lens systems has been increasing significantly. However, the conventional four-element lens structure cannot satisfy these requirements of the compact optical lens system.

[0007] Although other conventional optical lens systems with five-element lens structure such as the one disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 8,000,031. Although better image quality and larger field of view are obtained, the total track length of the optical lens system is thereby too long which might result in a larger size optical system. Moreover, it is thereby not favorable for keeping the optical lens system compact while maintaining a large field of view. It is also not favorable for assembling the lens elements by having an excessive air distance between lens elements since the structure of the optical lens system might thereby be loose.

0.60<ΣCT/Td<0.81;
0<|f/f2|<0.30; and

[0009] According to another aspect of the present disclosure, a wide-angle image capturing lens assembly includes, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens element, a second lens element, a third lens element, a fourth lens element and a fifth lens element. The first lens element with negative refractive power has a concave image-side surface. The second lens element with refractive power has a concave object-side surface and a convex image-side surface. The third lens element has positive refractive power. The fourth lens element with negative refractive power has a concave image-side surface, wherein the image-side surface of the fourth lens element changes from concave at a paraxial region to convex at a peripheral region, and at least one of an object-side surface and the image-side surface of the fourth lens element is aspheric. The fifth lens element with positive refractive power has a convex image-side surface, wherein at least one of an object-side surface and the image-side surface of the fifth lens element is aspheric.

1.0<Dr2r3/CT1<2.5;
0.55<ΣCT/Td<0.85; and
0<|f/f2|<0.30.

[0028] A wide-angle image capturing lens assembly includes, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens element, a second lens element, a third lens element, a fourth lens element and a fifth lens element. Each of the first through fifth lens elements is a single and non-cemented lens element. That is, any two lens elements adjacent to each other are not cemented, and there is an air space between the two lens elements. Moreover, the manufacturing process of the cemented lenses is more complex than the non-cemented lenses. In particular, a second surface of one lens and a first surface of the following lens 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 wide-angle image capturing lens assembly. Therefore, the wide-angle image capturing lens assembly of the present disclosure provides five non-cemented lens elements for improving the problem generated by the cemented lens elements.

[0029] The first lens element with negative refractive power has a concave image-side surface, so that the field of view of the wide-angle image capturing lens assembly can be enlarged.

[0030] The second lens element with refractive power has a concave object-side surface and a convex image-side surface. Therefore, it is favorable for correcting the aberration and astigmatism and for reducing the sensitivity of the wide-angle image capturing lens assembly. The resolving power of the assembly is thereby improved for better image quality.

[0031] The third lens element with positive refractive power can have a convex object-side surface and a convex image-side surface. Therefore, it is favorable for providing the wide-angle image capturing lens assembly with required positive refractive power and for reducing the spherical aberration.

[0032] The fourth lens element with negative refractive power can have a concave object-side surface and a concave image-side surface, wherein the image-side surface of the fourth lens element changes from concave at a paraxial region to convex at a peripheral region. Therefore, it is favorable for reducing the sensitivity of the wide-angle image capturing lens assembly by balancing with the distribution of the negative refractive power. It is also favorable for reducing the angle at which the incident light projects onto an image sensor from an off-axis field to increase a responding efficiency of the image sensor so as to improve image quality and to correct the aberration of the off-axis field.

[0033] The fifth lens element with positive refractive power has a convex image-side surface, so that the refractive variance of the incident light will be relatively minimized by reducing the angle of the incident light from the off-axis. Therefore, it is favorable for reducing the high-order aberration. Moreover, the image-side surface of the fifth lens element is inclined toward the image side of the wide-angle image capturing lens assembly at an end of a peripheral region of the image-side surface of the fifth lens element which within a location of a maximum effective radius thereof. Therefore, it is favorable for correcting the aberration of the off-axis field so as to improve the image quality.

[0034] When an axial distance between the image-side surface of the first lens element and the object-side surface of the second lens element is Dr2r3, and a central thickness of the first lens element is CT1, the following relationship is satisfied: 1.0<Dr2r3/CT1<2.5. Therefore, it is favorable for assembling by adjusting an axial distance between lens elements and the thickness of lens elements so as to increase the manufacturing yield rate. Preferably, the following relationship is further satisfied: 1.5<Dr2r3/CT1<2.35.

[0035] When a sum of a central thickness from the first through fifth lens elements is ΣCT, and an axial distance between an object-side surface of the first lens element and the image-side surface of the fifth lens element is Td, the following relationship is satisfied: 0.55<ΣCT/Td<0.85. Therefore, it provides favorable moldability and homogeneity for plastic lens elements during the injection molding process to achieve superior image quality. It is also favorable for reducing the total track length of the wide-angle image capturing lens assembly so as to keep a compact size in order to be applied to portable electronic products. Preferably, the following relationship is satisfied: 0.60<ΣCT/Td<0.81. More preferably, the following relationship is further satisfied: 0.70<ΣCT/Td<0.80.

[0036] When a focal length of the wide-angle image capturing lens assembly is f, and a focal length of the second lens element is f2, the following relationship is satisfied: 0<|f/f2|<0.30. Therefore, it is favorable for reducing the aberration and distortion and for reducing the sensitivity so as to maintain a compact size by compensating with the first lens element.

[0037] When an axial distance between the object-side surface of the first lens element and the image-side surface of the second lens element is Dr1r4, and an axial distance between the object-side surface of the third lens element and the image-side surface of the fifth lens element is Dr5r10, the following relationship is satisfied: 0.50<Dr1r4/Dr5r10<1.09. Therefore, it is favorable for solving the problems of excessive large axial distance between lens elements resulting in having difficulty in assembling and of loose structure resulting in bad yield rate. It is also favorable for reducing the total track length so as to be applied to compact devices.

[0038] When an axial distance between the object-side surface of the first lens element and the image plane is TL, the following relationship is satisfied: 3.5 mm<TL<9.5 mm. Therefore, it is favorable for the wide-angle image capturing lens assembly maintaining a proper total track length so as to keep a compact size. Preferably, the following relationship is further satisfied: 4.0 mm<TL<8.0 mm.

[0039] When a curvature radius of the image-side surface of the third lens element is R6, and a curvature radius of the object-side surface of the fourth lens element is R7, the following relationship is satisfied: |R6/R7|<0.90. Therefore, it is favorable for reducing the spherical aberration and for correcting the aberration so as to improve image quality.

[0040] When a maximal field of view of the wide-angle image capturing lens assembly is FOV, the following relationship is satisfied: 130 degrees<FOV<200 degrees. Therefore, the wide-angle image capturing lens assembly can have a larger field of view for increasing image capturing range.

[0041] When the focal length of the wide-angle image capturing lens assembly is f, and a focal length of the first lens element is f1, the following relationship is satisfied: −0.80<f/f1<−0.40. Therefore, it is favorable for enlarging the field of view while maintaining a compact size by adjusting the negative refractive power of the first lens element so as to be applied to portable electronic products.

[0042] When the curvature radius of the object-side surface of the fourth lens element is R7, and a curvature radius of the image-side surface of the fourth lens element is R8, the following relationship is satisfied: −0.8<(R7+R8)/(R7−R8)<0.4. Therefore, it is favorable for correcting the aberration.

[0043] When an axial distance between the image-side surface of the second lens element and the object-side surface of the third lens element is Dr4r5, and the axial distance between the image-side surface of the first lens element and the object-side surface of the second lens element is Dr2r3, the following relationship is satisfied: 0.15<Dr4r5/Dr2r3<0.75. Therefore, it is favorable for increasing the yield rate and for reducing the total track length by adjusting the axial distance between lens elements.

[0044] The wide-angle image capturing lens assembly can further comprise a stop, such as an aperture stop, which locates between the second lens element and the third lens element. Therefore, it is favorable for enlarging the field of view of the wide-angle image capturing lens assembly and thereby provides a wider field of view for the same.

[0045] When a curvature radius of an object-side surface of the fifth lens element is R9, and a curvature radius of the image-side surface of the fifth lens element is R10, the following relationship is satisfied: 0.50<(R9+R10)/(R9−R10)<2.60. Therefore, it is favorable for correcting the astigmatism and for reducing the spherical aberration by adjusting the surface curvature of the fifth lens element.

[0046] According to the wide-angle image capturing 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 wide-angle image capturing 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 aspheric, so that it is easier to make the surfaces into non-spherical shapes. As a result, more controllable variables are obtained, and the aberration is reduced, as well as the number of required lens elements can be reduced while constructing an optical system. Therefore, the total track length of the wide-angle image capturing lens assembly can also be reduced.

[0047] According to the wide-angle image capturing lens assembly of the present disclosure, each of an object-side surface and an image-side surface of every lens element has a paraxial region and a peripheral region. The paraxial region refers to the region of the surface where light rays travel close to an optical axis and the peripheral region refers to the region of the surface where light rays travel away from the optical axis. Particularly, when a lens element has a convex surface, it indicates that the surface is convex at the paraxial region; and when the lens element has a concave surface, it indicates that the surface is concave at the paraxial region.

[0048] According to the wide-angle image capturing lens assembly of the present disclosure, the wide-angle image capturing lens assembly can include at least one stop, such as an aperture stop, a glare stop, or a field stop, etc. Said glare stop or said field stop is allocated for reducing stray light while retaining high image quality. Furthermore, an aperture stop can be configured as a front stop or a middle stop. A front stop which can be disposed between an object and the first lens element provides a longer distance from an exit pupil of the system to an image plane and thereby the generated telecentric effect improves the image-sensing efficiency of an image sensor. A middle stop which can be disposed between the first lens element and the image plane is favorable for enlarging the field of view of the system and thereby provides a wider field of view for the same.

[0049] According to the wide-angle image capturing lens assembly of the present disclosure, the wide-angle image capturing lens assembly is featured with good correcting ability and high image quality, and can be applied to 3D (three-dimensional) image capturing applications, in products such as digital cameras, mobile devices and tablets.
