BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     The present invention relates to an optical lens system, and more particularly to a four-piece optical lens system applicable to electronic products. 
     2. Description of the Prior Art 
     With the consumer electronic industry continuously growing, the current market demand for small imaging lens system is also increasing. Especially for the imaging lens application in mobile phone, tablet computer and notebook, optical lens system has almost become mainstream in the market. Nowadays, as all types of electronic products are becoming thinner, lighter and easier to carry, the imaging lens system also needs to be further reduced in size in order to fit in the increasingly miniaturized carrier. Fine pixel and good image quality have become basic requirements for optical lens system. In addition, consumers also demand that more persons or views can be recorded on a photograph, therefore, it is becoming increasingly important whether an optical lens system has a wide-angle of view or not. 
     In order to miniaturize the lens system and widen the angle of view, the lens elements of the lens system must have a very short combined focal length so as to form an image within a short distance. As the refractive power of the lens elements increases, the aberration correction will become difficult, and the aberration has to be corrected by arranging more lens elements or using aspheric lens elements. Furthermore, the thickness of the lens elements and the air spaces also need to be minimized, which imposes high requirements on the tolerance during manufacturing and assembling process, making the lens system difficult to manufacture. 
     Conventional arts, such as U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,715,119 and 7,755,853, use glass as the material of the first lens element to provide better aberration, reduce the size of the lens system while improving image quality. However, the manufacturing cost of the glass lens element is high. 
     The lens systems disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 8,405,919, 8,395,691, 8,358,475 and 8,199,418, without using glass lens elements, are capable of providing better image quality simply by adjusting the refractive powers and positions of the lens elements. However, the FOV (field of view) of all these lens systems is less than 76 degrees, and the proportion of the total length to the half of the maximum image height of the lens system (TL/ImgH) is greater than 1.6. Since the image angle is small and the total length is relatively long, all these four lens systems cannot satisfy with the demand for wide-angle shooting and miniaturization. 
     The lens systems disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 8,441,745 and 8,432,622 are capable of wide-angle shooting by using a first lens element with a negative refractive power. However, the total length of these two lens systems is too long to fit in the miniaturized electronic products, such as mobile phone, notebook or tablet computer. 
     The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

     Referring to  FIG. 9A , which shows an optical lens system cross-sectional view in accordance with a ninth embodiment of the present invention, and  FIG. 9B  shows the spherical aberration curves, the astigmatic field curves, and the distortion curve of the ninth embodiment of the present invention. An optical lens system in accordance with the ninth embodiment of the present invention comprises, in order from the object side to the image side: 
     A stop  900 . 
     A first lens element  910  with a positive refractive power made of plastic has a convex object-side surface  911  and a convex image-side surface  912 , and the object-side surface  911  and the image-side surface  912  of the first lens element  910  are aspheric. 
     A second lens element  920  with a negative refractive power made of plastic has a concave object-side surface  921  and a concave image-side surface  922 , and the object-side surface  921  and the image-side surface  922  of the second lens element  920  are aspheric. 
     A third lens element  930  with a positive refractive power made of plastic has a concave object-side surface  931  and a convex image-side surface  932 , and the object-side surface  931  and the image-side surface  932  of the third lens element  930  are aspheric. 
     A fourth lens element  940  with a positive refractive power made of plastic has a convex object-side surface  941  and a concave image-side surface  942 , the object-side surface  941  and the image-side surface  942  of the fourth lens element  940  are aspheric, and at least one inflection point is formed on each of the object-side surface  941  and the image-side surface  942  of the fourth lens element  940 . 
     An IR filter  950  made of glass is located between the image-side surface  942  of the fourth lens element  940  and an image plane  990  and has no influence on the focal length of the optical lens system. 
     The equation for the aspheric surface profiles of the ninth embodiment is expressed as follows:
