›TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention relates to an optical imaging system, particularly to a micro-pick up lens consisted with three lenses.

›BACKGROUND

With the increasingly demands for portability of optical lenses as well as continuous innovation and change in digital imaging, the imaging devices such as mobile phone, camera, laptop computer tend to miniaturization, so that the lenses for above products shall be small-sized and high light. Also, the good optical quality shall be made available.

›SUMMARY

The invention provides an optical lens, which is both small-sized and high-performance.

The optical lens includes a first lens, a second lens and a third lens, and the first lens is a convexo-convex lens with positive focal power; the second lens is a lens having a concave image-side surface with negative focal power; and the third lens is a lens with negative focal power, and the surfaces of the first lens, the second lens and the third lens include at least one aspheric surface.

The optical lens may meet the requirements as below:

0<f 2 /f 3 <1.5

where f 2 is the focal length for the second lens, and f 3 is the focal length for the third lens;

|f 3 |/f>2.0

where |f 3 | is the absolute value of the focal length for the third lens, and f is the focal length of whole system;

0.8<TTL/f<2.5

where TTL is the distance from the central point of object side of the first lens to an imaging surface, and f is the focal length of whole system;

A diaphragm is between the first lens and an object or between the first lens and second lens.

In addition, the positions of the first lens, the second lens and the third lens are fixed.

The micro-optical lens provided herein employs three pieces of aspheric lens, so as to break through the current patent blockage through distribution of different focal power. Thus, a new solution is available for the specification and performance as required currently. Also, the micro-optical lens provided herein has small size and high optical quality, and thus can be easily installed in various digital products requiring portable imaging.
