A projection lens, for enlarging and projecting a picture formed on a flat fluorescent
plate of a CRT projection tube, includes: a first lens unit of a plus lens, having
aspheric surfaces on both surfaces, being convex to the screen side at a central
portion including an optical axis, a second lens unit of a minus lens, having aspheric
surfaces on both surfaces, being concave to the screen side at a central portion
including an optical axis; a third lens unit of a plus lens, having spherical surfaces
on both surfaces, being convex on both sides; a fourth lens unit of a plus lens,
having aspheric surfaces on both surfaces thereof, being curved in concave-like
to the screen side, on a peripheral portion far from the optical axis into a radial
direction; and a fifth lens unit of a minus lens, being made up with a transparent
liquid, commonly serving a faceplate of the CRT projection tube and a cooling,
and a meniscus lens, having a thickness being nearly equal to and at least an aspheric
surface directing a concave surface thereof to the screen side.
