DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART
The present invention relates to a camera lens. Particularly it relates to a camera lens very suitable for mobile phone camera module and WEB camera lens etc. equipped with high-pixel camera elements such as CCD, CMOS etc. According to the present invention, the camera lens is composed of six piece lenses with excellent optical properties and with following properties: TTL (optical length)/IH (image height)≦1.42, ultra-thin, total angle of view (herein after referred to 2ω) is above 78°, wide angle, F value of high-luminous flux (herein after referred to Fno) Fno is lower than 2.10.
In recent years, various camera devices equipped with camera elements such as CCD, CMOS are extensively popular. Along with development on camera lens toward miniaturization and high performance, ultra-thin and high-luminous flux (Fno) wide angle camera lenses with excellent optical properties are needed in society.
Technology related to the camera lens composed of six piece ultra-thin and high-luminous flux (Fno) wide angle lenses with excellent optical properties is developed gradually. The camera lens mentioned in the proposal is composed of six piece lenses which are arranged sequentially from the object side as follows: a first lens with positive refractive power; a second lens with negative refractive power; a third lens with negative refractive power; a fourth lens with positive refractive power and a fifth lens with positive refractive power; a sixth lens with negative refractive power
The camera lens disclosed in embodiment 1 ̃3 of the prior Japanese Patent No. 5651881 is composed of the above mentioned six piece lenses, but refractive power distribution of the third lens is insufficient and shape of the third lens is improper; TTL/IH≧1.464 so it is not sufficiently ultra-thin.
Thereof, it is necessary to disclose and provide an improved camera to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages.
