Abstract

Provided are an optical lens assembly and an electronic device. The optical lens assembly includes a first lens having a positive refractive power, a second lens having a positive or negative refractive power, and a third lens having a negative refractive power. The first lens, the second lens, and the third lens are sequentially arranged from an object side to an image side of an optical axis, the object side facing an object for image capture and the image side facing an image plane of an image sensor. The optical lens assembly and the electronic device may be configured to perform, for example, iris recognition for user authentication.
