## Abstract

A lens module includes: a first lens having negative refractive power; a second lens having positive refractive power; a third lens having negative refractive power; a fourth lens having negative refractive power; a fifth lens of which an object-side surface is concave; and a sixth lens having one or more inflection points on an image-side surface thereof, wherein the first to sixth lenses are sequentially disposed from an object side of the lens module to an image side of the lens module.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A lens module comprising:
a first lens having negative refractive power and a concave object-side surface;
a second lens having a refractive power;
a third lens having a refractive power;
a fourth lens having negative refractive power and a convex object-side surface in a paraxial region thereof;
a fifth lens having a refractive power and a concave object-side surface in a paraxial region thereof; and
a sixth lens having a refractive power and a convex object-side surface in a paraxial region thereof,
wherein the lens module includes a total of six lenses and the first to sixth lenses are sequentially disposed from an object side of the lens module to an image side of the lens module, and
wherein 0.6<f5/f, where f5 is a focal length of the fifth lens and f is an overall focal length of the lens module.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The lens module of claim 1, wherein the first lens has a convex image-side surface.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The lens module of claim 1, wherein the second lens has a convex object-side surface.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The lens module of claim 1, wherein the third lens has a concave object-side surface.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The lens module of claim 1, wherein the fourth lens has a concave image-side surface.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The lens module of claim 1, wherein the fifth lens has a convex image-side surface.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The lens module of claim 1, wherein the sixth lens has a concave image-side surface.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The lens module of claim 1, wherein a radius of curvature of an object-side surface of the second lens is greater than a radius of curvature of an object-side surface of the fifth lens.
