`
`IMAGE CAPTURING LENS SYSTEM, IMAGING DEVICE AND
`
`MOBILE TERMINAL
`
`RELATED APPLICATIONS
`
`This application claims priority to Taiwan Application Serial Number
`
`102139029, filed October 29, 2013, which is incorporated by reference herein in
`
`its entirety.
`
`Technical Field
`
`BACKGROUND
`
`The presentdisclosure relates to an image capturing lens system. More
`
`particularly, the present disclosure relates to a compact image capturing lens
`
`system applicable to a mobile terminal.
`
`Description of Related Art
`
`In recent years, with the popularity of mobile terminals having camera
`
`functionalities, the demand of miniaturized optical systems has been increasing.
`
`As the advanced semiconductor manufacturing technologies have allowed the
`
`pixel size of sensors to be reduced and compactoptical systems have gradually
`
`20
`
`evolved toward the field of higher megapixels, there is an increasing demand for
`
`compactoptical systems featuring better image quality.
`
`A conventional compact optical system in a portable electronic product
`
`typically utilizes a three-element lens structure. Due to the popularity of mobile
`
`products with high-end specifications, such as smart phones, tablet personal
`
`25
`
`computers, wearable apparatus and other high-end mobile terminals,
`
`the

`Attorney Docket No. 14970-94702
`
`requirements for high resolution and image quality of present compact optical
`
`systems increase significantly. However,
`
`the conventional optical systems
`
`cannotsatisfy these requirements of the compact optical systems.
`
`Another conventional compact optical system provides a four-element
`
`lens structure. However,it is hard to make a good balance between obtaining
`
`a large field of view and a short total track length.
`
`Furthermore, it is also not
`
`favorable for the resolving power and illumination in a peripheral region of an
`
`image;
`
`therefore,
`
`it cannot satisfy the requirements of the compact optical
`
`systems featuring better image quality.
`
`SUMMARY
`
`According to one aspect of the present disclosure, an image capturing
`
`lens system includes, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens
`
`element, a second lens element, a third lens element and a fourth lens element.
`
`The first lens element has refractive power. The second lens element with
`
`positive refractive power has a convex image-side surface in a paraxial region
`
`thereof. The third lens element with negative refractive power has a concave
`
`object-side surface in a paraxial
`
`region thereof and a convex image-side
`
`surface in a paraxial region thereof. The fourth lens element with refractive
`
`20
`
`power has a concave image-side surface in a paraxial region thereof, wherein
`
`both of an object-side surface and the image-side surface of the fourth lens
`
`element are aspheric, and the image-side surface of the fourth lens element has
`
`at least one convex shapein an off-axis region thereof. The image capturing
`
`lens system hasa total of four lens elements with refractive power. When an
`
`25
`
`axial distance between an object-side surface of the first lens element and the

`
`image-side surface of the fourth lens element is Td, half of a maximal field of
`
`view of the image capturing lens system is HFOV,a focal length of the image
`
`capturing lens system is f, a focal length of the fourth lens elementis f4, a focal
`
`length of the second lens element is f2, and a focal
`
`length of the third lens
`
`elementis f3, the following conditions are satisfied:

`
`image-side surface in a paraxial region thereof. The fourth lens element with
`
`refractive power has a concave image-side surface in a paraxial region thereof,
`
`wherein both of an object-side surface and the image-side surface of the fourth
`
`20
`
`lens element are aspheric, and the image-side surface of the fourth lens
`
`element has at least one convex shape in an off-axis region thereof. The
