US Patent 7548384 Lens system with small emergence angle

A lens system includes a positive refractive power first lens, a negative refractive power second lens, a positive refractive power third lens, and a negative refractive power fourth lens in that order from the object side of the lens system. Wherein the lens system satisfies the following conditions: (1) D1/D2<1.6; and (2) R2/F1>1.8, wherein, D1 is the effective radius of a surface of the third lens facing the image side of the lens system, D2 is a distance from the top point of a surface to the optical center of the third lens, R2 is the radius of curvature of a surface of the first lens facing the image side of the lens system, and F1 is a focal length of the first lens.
