## Background
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an imaging lens. In particular, the present invention relates to an imaging lens of a two-lens structure that is capable of reducing size and weight and enhancing optical performance. The imaging lens is used for an image-taking device that forms an image of an object, such as scenery and human figures, on an image-taking surface of a solid image pickup element such as a CCD, CMOS, etc. The solid image pickup element is mounted on a portable computer, a television phone, a portable phone, and the like.
2. Description of the Related Art
Recently, there has been an increasing demand for cameras that utilize a solid image pickup element, such as a CCD, CMOS, or the like, which is mounted on a portable phone, a portable computer, and a television phone, for example. It is demanded that a camera such as this is small and light because the camera is required to be mounted on a limited installation space.
Further, in recent years, there has been an increasing demand for a high-optical-performance lens system capable of sufficiently utilizing resolution capabilities of a solid image pickup element having a high resolution exceeding one million pixels. Achieving a balance between size and weight reduction and improvement in optical performance is becoming increasingly important.
From this perspective, a two-lens structure lens system that is smaller and lighter than a three-lens structure lens system and superior to a single-lens structure lens system in optical performance is advantageous. Lens systems, such as those described in Patent Literatures 1 to 6, have been proposed as such two-lens structure lens systems.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
However, the lens system described in Patent Literature 1 is problematic in that ensuring sufficient telecentricity is difficult because the diaphragm is disposed between the first lens and the second lens.
The lens system described in Patent Literature 2 is problematic in that effectively correcting various aberrations while achieving size and weight reduction is difficult because the second lens is a biconcave lens.
The lens systems described in Patent Literature 3 to Patent Literature 6 are problematic in that balance among size and weight reduction, improvement in optical performance, and improvement in productivity is difficult to achieve because a value obtained by a center radius curvature of a surface of the first lens on an object side being divided by a focal distance of the overall lens system is not set to a suitable value.
Productivity, herein, means not only the productivity for mass-producing the imaging lens (such as moldability and cost when the imaging lens is mass-produced by injection molding), but also easiness of processing, manufacture, etc. of equipment used for manufacturing the imaging lens (such as easiness of processing a mold used for injection molding) (the same applies hereinafter).
The present invention has been achieved in light of the above-described problems. An object of the invention is to provide an imaging lens having improved optical performance and improved productivity while being reduced in size and weight.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In order to achieve the aforementioned object, an imaging lens according to a first aspect of the present invention is an imaging lens used for forming an image of an object on an image-taking surface of an image sensor element including, in order from an object side to an image surface side: a diaphragm, a first lens having a positive power whose convex surface faces the object side, and a second lens that is a meniscus lens having a negative power whose convex surface faces the object side, wherein a condition expressed by the following expression (1) is to be satisfied:

0.4≦r1/FL≦0.55  (1)

where,

r1: center radius curvature of the object side face of the first lens
FL: focal distance of the entire lens system.
In the invention, when the diaphragm is disposed closest to the object side, positioning of the diaphragm in a same position in an optical axis direction as a point on the optical axis (referred to, hereinafter, as a surface apex) of a surface (convex surface) of the first lens on the object side cannot be avoided. In addition, the surface apex and surrounding area of the surface of the first lens on the object side passing through the diaphragm and being positioned (projecting) closer to the object side than the diaphragm cannot be avoided. Even in this instance, because the diaphragm is physically positioned closer to the object side than the overall first lens, the configuration does not depart from the description in the scope of claims. To reduce the size of the optical system, the diaphragm is preferably positioned closer to the image surface side than the surface apex of the surface of the first lens on the object side.
In the invention according to the first aspect, the diaphragm is disposed closest to the object side. The first lens is a positive lens whose convex surface faces the object side. The second lens is a negative meniscus lens whose convex surface faces the object side. The second lens is a negative lens whose concave surface faces the object side. In addition, the condition expressed by the expression (1) is satisfied. Therefore, telecentricity can be ensured, various aberrations can be effectively corrected, and optical performance can be improved while achieving size and weight reduction. Furthermore, productivity can be improved.
An imaging lens according to a second aspect is the imaging lens according to the first aspect in which a condition expressed by a following expression (2) is further satisfied:

0.8≦f1/FL≦1.1  (2)

where,

f1: focal distance of the first lens.
In the invention according to the second aspect, the expression (2) is further satisfied. Therefore, both size and weight reduction and improvement in optical performance can be achieved with further certainty.
An imaging lens according to a third aspect is the imaging lens according to the first aspect in which a condition expressed by a following expression (3) is further satisfied:

0.7≦d2/d1≦1.2  (3)

where,

d1: center thickness of the first lens
d2: distance between the first lens and the second lens on the optical axis.
In the invention according to the third aspect, the expression (3) is further satisfied. Therefore, a means for effectively blocking unnecessary light can be appropriately employed while improving productivity.
An imaging lens according to a fourth aspect is the imaging lens according to the first aspect in which a condition expressed by a following expression (4) is further satisfied:

where,

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
An embodiment of the imaging lens according to the present invention will be described hereinafter with reference to FIG. 1.
As shown in FIG. 1, an imaging lens 1 according to the embodiment includes, in order from an object side toward an image surface side, a diaphragm 2, a first lens 3 made of resin that is a lens having a positive power whose convex surface faces the object side, and a second lens 4 made of resin that is a meniscus lens having a negative power whose convex surface faces the object side.
Respective lens surfaces of the first lens 3 and the second lens 4 on the object side are referred to as a first face. Respective lens surfaces of the first lens 3 and the second lens 4 on the image surface side are referred to as a second face.
According to the embodiment, an image-taking surface 5 that is a light-receiving surface of an image sensor element, such as a charge-coupled device (CCD) or a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS), is disposed on the second face side of the second lens 4.
Various filters, such as a cover glass, an infrared (IR) cut filter, and a low-pass filter, may be disposed as required between the second face of the second lens 4 and the image-taking surface 5. The IR cut filter may be formed on any one lens surface, such as a second face of the first lens 3, or on a plurality of lens surfaces, among the lens surfaces of the first lens 3 and the second lens 4.
In this way, according to the embodiment, high telecentricity can be ensured as a result of the diaphragm 2 being positioned closest to the object side and an exit pupil position being positioned away from the image-taking surface 5. Therefore, an incidence angle of a light beam incident on a sensor of the image sensor element can be relaxed, and optical performance can be improved.
Moreover, according to the embodiment, a condition expressed by a following expression (1) is satisfied:

0.4≦r1/FL≦0.55  (1)

where, r1 in the expression (1) is a center radius curvature of a first face 3a of the first lens 3 (the same applies hereinafter). FL in the expression (1) is a focal distance of the entire lens system (the same applies hereinafter).

Here, when the value of r1/FL is less than the value (0.4) shown in the expression (1), the curvature of the first face 3a of the first lens 3 becomes too large. Manufacturing the first lens 3 becomes difficult. On the other hand, when the value of r1/FL is greater than the value (0.55) shown in the expression (1), the overall optical system becomes large. Therefore, effectively correcting various aberrations and improving optical performance while reducing size and weight become difficult.
Therefore, according to the embodiment, by the value of r1/FL being set to satisfy the expression (1), optical performance can be improved while achieving size and weight reduction, and productivity can be improved.
The relationship between r1 and FL is more preferably 0.4≦r1/FL≦0.5.
According to the embodiment, because the second lens 4 is a meniscus lens with a negative power whose convex surface faces the object side in relation to the first lens 3 having a positive power whose convex surface faces the object side such as to satisfy the expression (1), effective aberration correction through combination of the powers of the first lens 3 and the second lens 4 can be achieved.
According to a more preferable embodiment, a condition expressed by a following expression (2) is further satisfied:

0.8≦f1/FL≦1.1  (2)

where, f1 in the expression (2) is a focal distance of the first lens 3 (the same applies hereinafter).

Here, when the value of f1/FL is less than the value (0.8) shown in the expression (2), the power of the first lens 3 becomes too large compared to the power of the overall optical system. Effectively correcting various aberrations and achieving the desired optical performance becomes difficult. On the other hand, when the value of f1/FL is greater than the value (1.1) shown in the expression (2), the power of the first lens 3 becomes too small compared to the power of the overall optical system. Size and weight reduction of the overall optical system becomes difficult to achieve.
Therefore, by the value of f1/FL being set to satisfy the expression (2), both size and weight reduction and improvement in optical performance can be achieved with further certainty.
The relationship between f1 and FL is more preferably 0.83<f1/FL≦1.05.
According to a more preferable embodiment, a condition expressed by a following expression (3) is further satisfied:

0.7≦d2/d1≦1.2  (3)

where, d1 in the expression (3) is a center thickness of the first lens 3 (the same applies hereinafter). d2 in the expression (3) is a distance between the first lens 3 and the second lens 4 on an optical axis 6 (the same applies hereinafter).

Here, when the value of d2/d1 is less than the value (0.7) shown in the expression (3), the distance between the first lens 3 and the second lens 4 becomes too narrow. Inserting a blocking shield or the like between the first lens 3 and the second lens 4 to effectively block unnecessary light becomes difficult. In addition, edge sections of respective optical surfaces of the first lens 3 and the second lens 4 become too close to each other, thereby increasing generation of unnecessary light. On the other hand, when the value of d2/d1 is greater than the value (1.2) shown in the expression (3), the center thickness of the first lens 3 becomes too thin. Manufacturing the first lens 3 becomes difficult when the first lens 3 is manufactured by injection molding.
Therefore, by the value of d2/d1 being set to satisfy the expression (3), a means for effectively blocking unnecessary light can be appropriately employed while improving productivity.
The relationship between d1 and d2 is more preferably 0.7≦d2/d1≦1.1.
According to a more preferable embodiment, a condition expressed by a following expression (4) is further satisfied:

0.7≦d2/d3≦1.2  (4)

where, d3 in the expression (4) is a center thickness of the second lens 4 (the same applies hereinafter).

Here, when the value of d2/d3 is less than the value (0.7) shown in the expression (4), the distance between the first lens 3 and the second lens 4 becomes too narrow. Inserting a blocking shield or the like between the first lens 3 and the second lens 4 to effectively block unnecessary light becomes difficult. In addition, the edge sections of respective optical surfaces of the first lens 3 and the second lens 4 become too close to each other, thereby increasing generation of unnecessary light. On the other hand, when the value of d2/d3 is greater than the value (1.2) shown in the expression (4), the center thickness of the second lens 4 becomes too thin. Manufacturing the second lens 4 becomes difficult when the second lens 4 is manufactured by injection molding.
Therefore, by the value of d2/d3 being set to satisfy the expression (4), a means for effectively blocking unnecessary light can be appropriately employed while improving productivity.
The relationship between d2 and d3 is more preferably 0.7≦d2/d3≦1.1.
According to a more preferable embodiment, a condition expressed by a following expression (5) is further satisfied:

0.1≦d1/FL≦0.3  (5).

Here, when the value of d1/FL is less than the value (0.1) shown in the expression (5), the center thickness of the first lens 3 becomes too thin. Manufacturing the first lens 3 becomes difficult when the first lens 3 is manufactured by injection molding. On the other hand, when the value of d1/FL is greater than the value (0.3) shown in the expression (5), the center thickness of the first lens 3 becomes too thick compared to the overall length of the optical system. Size and weight reduction becomes difficult to achieve.
Therefore, by the value of d1/FL being set to satisfy the expression (5), both size and weight reduction and improvement in productivity can be achieved with further certainty.
The relationship between d1 and FL is more preferably 0.15≦d1/FL≦0.285.
According to a more preferable embodiment, a condition expressed by a following expression (6) is further satisfied:

0.1≦d3/FL≦0.3  (6).

Here, when the value of d3/FL is less than the value (0.1) shown in the expression (6), the center thickness of the second lens 4 becomes too thin. Manufacturing the second lens 4 becomes difficult when the second lens 4 is manufactured by injection molding. On the other hand, when the value of d3/FL is greater than the value (0.3) shown in the expression (6), the center thickness of the second lens 4 becomes too thick compared to the overall length of the optical system. Size and weight reduction becomes difficult to achieve.
Therefore, by the value of d3/FL being set to satisfy the expression (6), excellent balance can be further achieved between size and weight reduction and improvement in productivity.
The relationship between d3 and FL is more preferably 0.15≦d3/FL≦0.285.
According to a more preferable embodiment, a condition expressed by a following expression (7) is further satisfied:

0.9≦L/FL≦1.25  (7)

where, L in the expression (7) is an overall length of the lens system or, in other words, a distance from the surface closest to the object side to the image-taking surface 5 on the optical axis 6 (equivalent air length) (the same applies hereinafter).

Here, when the value of L/FL is less than the value (0.9) shown in the expression (7), the overall length of the optical system becomes too short. Productivity during an assembly process of each of the lenses 3 and 4 deteriorates. On the other hand, when the value of L/FL is greater than the value (1.25) shown in the expression (7), the overall length of the optical system becomes too long. Mounting in a small camera of a mobile phone or the like becomes difficult.
Therefore, by the value of L/FL being set to satisfy the expression (7), excellent balance can be further achieved between size and weight reduction and improvement in productivity.
The relationship between L and FL is more preferably 0.95≦L/FL≦1.2.
A resin material of any composition can be used to form the first lens 3 and the second lens 4 as long as the material has transparency and can be used to form optical components, such as acrylic, polycarbonate, and amorphous polyolefin resin. To further improve production efficiency and further reduce manufacturing costs, the same resin material is preferably used to form both lenses 3 and 4.

In the EXAMPLES, Fno denotes F number and r denotes the curvature radius of the optical surface (the center radius curvature in the case of a lens). Further, d denotes a distance to the next optical surface on the optical axis 6, nd denotes the index of refraction when the d line (yellow) is irradiated, and νd denotes the Abbe number of each optical system also when the d line is irradiated.
