Abstract

A lens module has a magnified side and a reduced side having an imaging surface. The lens module includes a first, a second, and a third lens groups having positive refractive powers respectively. The first lens group includes a first and a second lenses. A value calculated by dividing a distance between a center of a surface of the first lens facing the magnified side and the imaging surface by the effective focal length of the lens module is greater than or equal to 1 and smaller than or equal to 3. The second lens group located between the first lens group and the reduced side includes a third and a fourth lenses. The third lens group located between the second lens group and the reduced side includes a fifth lens. Refractive powers of the first to the fifth lenses are negative, positive, positive, negative and positive, respectively.
