DETAILED DESCRIPTION
An imaging lens system includes six non-cemented lens elements with refractive power, 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, a fifth lens element and a sixth lens element. The imaging lens system has a total of six lens elements with refractive power and further includes an image sensor located on an image plane.
The first lens element, the second lens element, the third lens element, the fourth lens element, the fifth lens element, and the sixth lens element are six non-cemented lens elements with refractive power. 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 imaging lens system. Therefore, the imaging lens system of the present disclosure provides six non-cemented lens elements for improving the problem generated by the cemented lens elements.
The imaging lens system can further include a stop, such as an aperture stop, and the image sensor. The stop can be disposed between an imaged object and the second lens element, and the image sensor can be located on the image plane, wherein the image sensor has a resolution of at least 10 megapixels so as to improve image quality.
The first lens element with positive refractive power can have a convex object-side surface. Therefore, it is favorable for properly adjusting the positive refractive power of the first lens element so as to reduce the total track length of the imaging lens system.
The second lens element can have negative refractive power, a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface, so that the aberration generated by the first lens element can be corrected.
The third lens element with positive refractive power can have a convex image-side surface. Therefore, the positive refractive power of the first lens element can be balanced for avoiding the excessive spherical aberration and reducing the photosensitivity of the imaging lens system.
The fourth lens element can have negative refractive power, a concave object-side surface and a convex image-side surface. Therefore, the Petzval sum and the astigmatism of the imaging lens system can be corrected effectively so as to correct the image curvature.
The fifth lens element can have positive refractive power, a convex object-side surface in a paraxial region thereof, wherein the object-side surface of the fifth lens element has at least one concave shape in an off-axis region thereof. Therefore, the spherical aberration can be effectively corrected, and the coma aberration together with the astigmatism from the off-axis field can also be corrected.
The sixth lens element can have negative refractive power, and has a concave image-side surface in a paraxial region thereof, wherein the image-side surface of the sixth lens element has at least one convex shape in an off-axis region thereof. Therefore, the principal point of the imaging lens system can be positioned away from the image plane, and the back focal length thereof can be reduced so as to keep the imaging lens system compact. Furthermore, the incident angle of the off-axis on the image plane can be reduced in order to correct the aberration of the off-axis.
When a focal length of the first lens element is f1, and a focal length of the third lens element is f3, the following relationship is satisfied: 0<f3/f1<1.1. Therefore, it is favorable for avoiding overloading the refractive power on the lens elements which are close to the object-side of the imaging lens system so as to reduce the sensitivity of tolerance. Preferably, the following relationship is satisfied:

0.20<f3/f1<0.85.

When a curvature radius of the 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: |R9/R10|<3.0. Therefore, it is favorable for effectively correct the astigmatism and the spherical aberration. Preferably, the following relationship is satisfied:

|R9/R10|<1.0.

When a central thickness of the first lens element is CT1, and an axial distance between the first lens element and the second lens element is T12, the following relationship is satisfied: 0.90<T12/CT1<3.0. A proper axial distance between the first lens element and the second lens element is favorable for avoiding tiny axial distance between the first and the second lens elements during assembling.
When a central thickness of the second lens element is CT2, and the axial distance between the first lens element and the second lens element is T12, the following relationship is satisfied: 1.20<T12/CT2<3.0. It is favorable for avoiding tiny axial distance between lens elements during assembling so as to maintain the imaging lens system a compact size.
When an Abbe number of the second lens element is V2, an Abbe number of the fourth lens element is V4, and an Abbe number of the sixth lens element is V6, the following relationship is satisfied: 0.60<(V2+V4)/V6<1.10. Therefore, the chromatic aberration of the imaging lens system can be corrected.
When a curvature radius of the object-side surface of the sixth lens element is R11, and a curvature radius of the image-side surface of the sixth lens element is R12, the following relationship is satisfied: −1.0<(R11+R12)/(R11−R12)<2.75. Therefore, the principal point can be positioned away from the image plane which is favorable for reducing the total track length so as to maintain a compact size for the imaging lens system. Preferably, −0.50<(R11+R12)/(R11−R12)<2.50.
When an axial distance between the fifth lens element and the sixth lens element is T56, and a central thickness of the sixth lens element is CT6, the following relationship is satisfied: 0.8<T56/CT6<2.5. Therefore, a proper axial distance between the fifth and the sixth lens elements and a proper thickness of the sixth lens element are favorable for assembling and manufacturing.
When a focal length of the imaging lens system is f, and half of a maximal field of view of the imaging lens system is HFOV, the following relationship is satisfied: 5.5 mm<f×tan(HFOV)<10 mm. Therefore, it is favorable for capturing adequate image scene and improving image quality.
According to the imaging lens system of the present disclosure, the lens elements can be made of plastic or glass material. When the lens elements are made of glass material, the distribution of the refractive power of the imaging lens system can be more flexible to design. When the lens elements are made of plastic material, the manufacturing cost thereof can be reduced. Furthermore, surfaces of each lens element can be arranged to be aspheric, because 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. Thus, the total track length of the imaging lens system can be effectively reduced.
According to the imaging lens system 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 system and an image plane and which improves the image-sensing efficiency of the image sensor. A middle stop 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.
According to the imaging lens system of the present disclosure, the imaging lens system 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 for eliminating the stray light and thereby improving the image resolution thereof.
According to the imaging lens system of the present disclosure, when the lens element has a convex surface, it indicates that the surface is convex in the paraxial region thereof; and when the lens element has a concave surface, it indicates that the surface is concave in the paraxial region thereof. Particularly, the paraxial region thereof refers to the region of the surface where light rays travel close to an optical axis and an off-axis region thereof refers to the region of the surface where light rays travel away from the optical axis.
According to the imaging lens system of the present disclosure, the imaging lens system is featured with good correction 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.
According to the present disclosure, an image capturing device is provided. The image capturing device includes the imaging lens system according to the aforementioned imaging lens system of the present disclosure, and an image sensor located on an image plane side of said imaging lens system.
