Abstract

A lens system for an electronic system has two lenses. The first lens (S1/S2) has a negative power, and the second lens (S4/S5 or S5/S6) has a positive power and is spaced from the first lens (S1/S2) by a distance of at least a quarter of the focal length of the lens system. In one embodiment (FIG. 3), the second lens (S4/S5) is a refractive-diffractive hybrid lens; in which case both the first and the second lenses (S1/S2 and S4/S5) can be composed of acrylic, and can have only spherical and conic surfaces. In other embodiments (FIG. 1, 2, 4), the first lens (S1/S2) has a higher dispersion than the than the second lens (S4/S5 or S5/S6); for example, the first lens (S1/S2) is composed of styrene, and the second lens (S4/S5 or S5/S6) is composed of acrylic. In this case, the first lens (S1/S2) can have a spherical surface and a general aspherical surface, and the second lens (S5/S6) can have conic surfaces (FIG. 1, 2); or both of the first and second lenses (S1/S2 and S4/S5) can have a spherical surface, and a conic surface (FIG. 4).
