MUMBAI, India, July 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617071793 A) filed by Samsung Electronics Co. , Ltd. on June 10, 2026, for Imaging Device And Electronic Device Comprising Same.

Inventors include Seo, Jinseon; and Bae, Jaecheol.

The application for the patent was published on July 10, 2026, under issue no. 28/2026.

Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, an imaging device may comprise: an image sensor; and a lens assembly configured to focus or guide light to the image sensor by comprising at least five lenses sequentially aligned along an optical axis from a first lens farthest from the image sensor. In one embodiment, the lens assembly or the at least five lenses may comprise: a first lens having a positive refractive power; a second lens disposed between the first lens and the image sensor and having a negative refractive power; a third lens disposed between the second lens and the image sensor and having a negative refractive power; a fourth lens having a meniscus shape convex toward the image sensor and a shape in which the thickness thereof decreases toward the edge, wherein the fourth lens is disposed between the third lens and the image sensor and has a positive refractive power; and a fifth lens having a shape in which the object-side surface is convex and the sensor-side surface is concave in a central region, wherein the fifth lens is disposed between the fourth lens and the image sensor and has a negative refractive power. In one embodiment, the lens assembly can be easily miniaturized while providing optical performance suitable for a large/high-pixel image sensor by satisfying at least some of the conditions disclosed in the present document. Various other embodiments may also be possible.
