  • Patent number: 6853504
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a camera lens system for image pickup devices, which is mounted in a mobile phone or personal digital assistant, and more particularly to a camera lens system for image pickup devices, which has a minimized overall length thereof to implement a micro lens, and in which lenses are formed to have suitable aspheric coefficients to reduce an incident angle of light on the lenses and improve the resolving power of the camera lens system. The camera lens system includes a first group lens having a convex, aspheric surface facing an object, a second group lens on which a light beam is incident from the first group lens and which is formed in an aspheric shape, an iris disposed at a side of the first group lens close to the object, a filter disposed at a side of the second group lens close to an image of the object, and an image sensor for converting the image formed through the first and second group lenses into an electrical signal.

  • Patent number: 6844989
    Abstract: Disclosed is a lens system installed in a mobile communication terminal, comprising: a first lens including at least one aspherical plane and having a positive refractivity; a perforated iris separated from the first lens by a designated distance for preventing unnecessary incident light from being incident onto an optical system; a second lens separated from the perforated iris by a designated distance, including at least one aspherical plane and having a positive refractivity; and a third lens separated from the second lens by a designated distance, including at least one aspherical plane and having a negative refractivity, wherein the first lens, the perforated iris, the second lens and the third lens are arranged sequentially from a subject, and the perforated iris is located between the first lens and the second lens.
