## Background
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Technical Field
The present invention relates generally to an optical system, and more particularly to a compact optical image capturing system for an electronic device.
2. Description of Related Art
In recent years, with the rise of portable electronic devices having camera functionalities, there is an increasing demand for an optical image capturing system. The image sensing device of ordinary photographing camera is commonly selected from charge coupled device (CCD) or complementary metal-oxide semiconductor sensor (CMOS Sensor). In addition, as advanced semiconductor manufacturing technology enables the minimization of pixel size of the image sensing device, the development of the optical image capturing system towards the field of high pixels. Therefore, the requirement for high imaging quality is rapidly rising.
The conventional optical system of the portable electronic device usually has a two-piece lens. However, to take pictures in a dark environment, the optical system needs a large aperture. An optical system with large aperture typically has several problems, such as, large aberration, poor image quality at periphery of the image, and is burdensome to manufacture. In addition, a wide-angle optical system usually has large distortion. Therefore, conventional optical system do not provide high optical performance in these environments.
There is a need to increase the quantity of light entering the lens and the angle of field of the lens. In addition, the modern lens also needs improved properties, including high pixels, high image quality, a small size, and high optical performance.

Third Embodiment
As shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, an optical image capturing system of the third preferred embodiment of the present invention includes, along an optical axis from an object side to an image side, an aperture 300, a first lens 310, a second lens 320, a third lens 330, an infrared rays filter 370, an image plane 380, and an image sensor 390.
The first lens 310 has positive refractive power, and is made of plastic. Both an object-side surface 312 thereof, which faces the object side, and an image-side surface 314 thereof, which faces the image side, are convex aspheric surfaces. The object-side surface 312 has two inflection points, and the image-side surface 314 has an inflection point.
The second lens 320 has negative refractive power, and is made of plastic. An object-side surface 322 thereof, which faces the object side, is a concave aspheric surface, and an image-side surface 324 thereof, which faces the image side, is a convex aspheric surface. The object-side surface 322 and the image-side surface 324 each has an inflection point.
The third lens 330 has positive refractive power, and is made of plastic. An object-side surface 332, which faces the object side, is a convex aspheric surface, and an image-side surface 334, which faces the image side, is a convex aspheric surface, and both the object-side surface 332 and the image-side surface 334 each has a inflection point.
The infrared rays filter 370 is made of glass, and between the third lens 330 and the image plane 380. The infrared rays filter 370 gives no contribution to the focal length of the system.
The parameters of the lenses of the third preferred embodiment are |f2|=3.037 mm; |f1|=1.412; and |f2|>|f1|, where f1 is a focal length of the first lens 310 and f2 is a focal length of the second lens 320.
The optical image capturing system of the third preferred embodiment further satisfies TP2=0.311 mm and TP3=0.815 mm, where TP2 is a thickness of the second lens 320 on the optical axis, and TP3 is a thickness of the third lens 330 on the optical axis.
The optical image capturing system of the third preferred embodiment further satisfies ΣPP=f1+f3=10.86930 mm and f1/(f1+f3)=0.12995, where ΣPP is a sum of the focal lengths of each positive lens. It is helpful to share the positive refractive power of the first lens 310 to the other positive lenses to avoid the significant aberration caused by the incident rays.
The optical image capturing system of the third preferred embodiment further satisfies ΣNP=f2, where f2 is a focal length of the second lens 320 and ΣNP is a sum of the focal lengths of each negative lens.
The parameters of the lenses of the third embodiment are listed in Table 5 and Table 6.

The first lens 410 has positive refractive power, and is made of plastic. Both an object-side surface 412 thereof, which faces the object side, and an image-side surface 414 thereof, which faces the image side, are convex aspheric surfaces. The object-side surface 412 has an inflection point.
The second lens 420 has negative refractive power, and is made of plastic. An object-side surface 422 thereof, which faces the object side, is a concave aspheric surface, and an image-side surface 424 thereof, which faces the image side, is a convex aspheric surface. The object-side surface 422 and image-side surface 424 each has an inflection point.
The third lens 430 has positive refractive power, and is made of plastic. An object-side surface 432, which faces the object side, is a convex aspheric surface, and an image-side surface 434, which faces the image side, is a concave aspheric surface. The object-side surface 432 and the image-side surface 434 each has an inflection point.
The infrared rays filter 470 is made of glass, and between the third lens 430 and the image plane 480. The infrared rays filter 470 gives no contribution to the focal length of the system.
The optical image capturing system of the fourth preferred embodiment has the following parameters, which are |f2|=2.629 mm; |f1|=2.450 mm; and |f2|>|f1|, where f1 is a focal length of the first lens 410 and f2 is a focal length of the second lens 420.

Fifth Embodiment
As shown in FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B, an optical image capturing system of the fifth preferred embodiment of the present invention includes, along an optical axis from an object side to an image side, an aperture 500, a first lens 510, a second lens 520, a third lens 530, an infrared rays filter 570, an image plane 580, and an image sensor 590.
The first lens 510 has positive refractive power, and is made of plastic. An object-side surface 512, which faces the object side, is a convex aspheric surface, and an image-side surface 514, which faces the image side, is a concave aspheric surface.
The second lens 520 has positive refractive power, and is made of plastic. An object-side surface 522 thereof, which faces the object side, is a concave aspheric surface, and an image-side surface 524 thereof, which faces the image side, is a convex aspheric surface. The image-side surface 524 has two inflection points.
The third lens 530 has negative refractive power, and is made of plastic. An object-side surface 532, which faces the object side, is a convex aspheric surface, and an image-side surface 534, which faces the image side, is a concave aspheric surface. The object-side surface 532 has three inflection points, and the image-side surface 534 has an inflection point.
The infrared rays filter 570 is made of glass, and between the third lens 530 and the image plane 580. The infrared rays filter 570 gives no contribution to the focal length of the system.
The parameters of the lenses of the fifth preferred embodiment are |f2|=1.387 mm; |f1|=1.452 mm; and |f2|<|f1|, where f1 is a focal length of the first lens 510 and f2 is a focal length of the second lens 520.
The optical image capturing system of the fifth preferred embodiment further satisfies TP2=0.242 mm and TP3=0.294 mm, where TP2 is a thickness of the second lens 520 on the optical axis, and TP3 is a thickness of the third lens 530 on the optical axis.
The optical image capturing system of the fifth preferred embodiment further satisfies ΣPP=f1+f2=2.83947 mm and f1/(f1+f2)=0.51149, where f1 is a focal length of the first lens 510, f2 is a focal length of the second lens 520, and ΣPP is a sum of the focal lengths of each positive lens. It is helpful to share the positive refractive power of the first lens 510 to the other positive lenses to avoid the significant aberration caused by the incident rays.
The optical image capturing system of the fifth preferred embodiment further satisfies ΣNP=f3, where ΣNP is a sum of the focal lengths of each negative lens.
The parameters of the lenses of the fifth embodiment are listed in Table 9 and Table 10.
