OPTICAL IMAGING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18524122 titled 'OPTICAL IMAGING SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The optical imaging system described in the patent application consists of a series of lenses arranged in a specific order along the optical axis to satisfy certain conditional expressions related to focal lengths and distances within the system.
- The system includes seven lenses arranged in ascending numerical order along the optical axis.
- The conditional expressions f/f2+f/f3<-0.4 and TTL/(2*IMG HT)<0.69 are satisfied, where f is the focal length of the system, f2 is the focal length of the second lens, f3 is the focal length of the third lens, TTL is the distance from the object-side surface of the first lens to the imaging surface of the image sensor, and IMG HT is half the diagonal length of the imaging surface of the image sensor.

Original Abstract Submitted
An optical imaging system includes a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, and a seventh lens sequentially disposed in ascending numerical order along an optical axis of the optical imaging system from an object side of the optical imaging system toward an imaging surface of an image sensor, wherein a conditional expression f/f2+f/f3<−0.4 is satisfied, where f is a focal length of the optical imaging system, f2 is a focal length of the second lens, and f3 is a focal length of the third lens, and a conditional expression TTL/(2*IMG HT)<0.69 is satisfied, where TTL is a distance along the optical axis from an object-side surface of the first lens to the imaging surface of the image sensor, and IMG HT is one-half of a diagonal length of the imaging surface of the image sensor.
