Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure provides a lens module. The lens module includes a lens barrel including a first barrel wall forming an optical aperture and a second barrel bending and extending from the first barrel wall. The second barrel wall includes a first inner wall and a first outer wall opposite to the first inner wall. One lens is arranged in the lens barrel, and the lens includes a side wall connecting an object side and an image side, a part of the side wall from the lens attaching to the first inner wall. A gap is formed between another part of the side wall and the first inner wall. A size of the part forming the gap between the side wall and the first inner wall along a direction of an optical axis accounts for at least one second of a total height.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A lens module including: a lens barrel including a first barrel wall forming an optical aperture and a second barrel wall bending and extending from the first barrel wall, the second barrel wall including a first inner wall and a first outer wall opposite to the first inner wall; at least one lens arranged in the lens barrel, the lens including a side wall connecting an object side and an image side, a part of the side wall from the lens attaching to the first inner wall; a gap formed between another part of the side wall and the first inner wall; wherein a size of the part forming the gap between the side wall and the first inner wall along a direction of an optical axis accounts for at least one-half of the total height of the side wall; a part of the side wall where the side wall is attached to the first inner wall is an attached part, and a part of the side wall in which there is the gap between the side wall and the first inner wall is a non-attached part, and a size of the attached part of the side wall along a direction parallel to the optical axis is less than or equal to one third of a size of the entire side wall along the direction parallel to the optical axis; a part of the non-attached part is Lambertian surface. 2. The lens module as described in claim 1 , wherein a radius of the non-attached part parallel to the optical axis is changing continuously along the optical axis. 3. The lens module as described in claim 2 , wherein the radius of the non-attached part parallel to the optical axis is decreasing gradually from the object side to the image side along the optical axis. 4. The lens module as described in claim 1 , wherein a radius of the non-attached part parallel to the optical axis is not changing continuously along the optical axis. 5. The lens module as described in claim 1 , wherein at least a part of a non-attached part is a straight line in a radial cross section of the lens. 6. The lens module as described in claim 1 , wherein at least a part of the non-attached part is a curve.
