Projection lens system

A projection lens system comprising:

• in order from a screen side, a first lens unit having a positive focal length, a second lens unit having a negative focal length, a third lens unit having a positive focal length, a fourth lens unit having a positive focal length and a fifth lens unit having a negative focal length, a concave surface directed toward the screen side and a picture plate having a fluorescent surface concave toward the screen side, said first and second lens units being made of plastic, at least one lens surface of said first and second lens unit being aspherical, at least one lens surface of said third and fourth lens units being aspherical, said fifth lens unit being made of plastic and at least one lens surface of said fifth lens unit being aspherical, said system meeting the following conditions:
• (2) 0.2<.psi..sub.1 <0.9

• .psi..sub.3 is the refractive power of the third lens unit;
• .psi..sub.4 is the refractive power of the fourth lens unit;
• (dN/dT).sub.1 is the variation of refractive index with temperature of said first lens unit;
• and
• (dN/dT).sub.2 is the variation of refractive index with temperature of said second lens unit;
• an overall refractive power .psi. of said lens system being expressed as a unit 1.
