Abstract

The present disclosure provides a shading unit. The shading unit includes an anti-dazzling screen connected and integrated with a substrate; a first aperture hole formed in the substrate through and along a thickness direction; a shading board closer to an in-light side of the first aperture hole than an out-light side; and a second aperture hole formed in the anti-dazzling screen through and along the thickness direction. The second aperture hole is communicated with the first aperture hole. A projection of the second aperture hole is located in a projection of the first aperture hole, a thickness of the anti-dazzling screen ranges between 0.01 mm to 0.05 mm. Further, the present disclosure provides a lens module having the shading unit disclosed above.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A lens module including:
a lens barrel;
a shading unit accommodated in the lens barrel;
a lens or a plurality of lenses supported by the lens barrel;
the shading unit including:
an opaque screen connected and integrated with a substrate;
a first aperture hole formed in the substrate through and along a thickness direction;
the opaque screen closer to an in-light side of the first aperture hole than an out-light side;
a second aperture hole formed in the opaque screen through and along the thickness direction, the second aperture hole being communicated with the first aperture hole; wherein
a projection of the second aperture hole is located in a projection of the first aperture hole, a thickness of the opaque screen ranges between 0.01 mm to 0.05 mm;
the opaque screen has a first shading surface and a second shading surface opposite to the first shading surface, the first shading surface is closer to the in-light side than the second shading surface, the first shading surface is parallel to the second shading surface, the substrate has a first supporting surface and a second supporting surface opposite to the first supporting surface, the first supporting surface is the closest surface of the substrate to the in-light side and is closer to the in-light side than the second supporting surface, the first supporting surface and the first shading surface are in the same plane being a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction.

2. The lens module as described in claim 1 , including a central part used for imaging and a peripheral portion extending around the central part; a projection of the opaque screen along the optical axis is located in the peripheral portion.

3. The lens module as described in claim 1 , wherein the lens or plurality of lenses includes a first lens, a second lens, a third lens and a fourth lens arranged one by one along the optical axis, and the shading unit is arranged between the third lens and the fourth lens.

4. The lens module as described in claim 1 , wherein the first shading surface extends from the first supporting surface to the direction of the axis of the first aperture hole; the first aperture hole is enclosed and formed by a first internal face; and the second supporting surface is connected with the second shading surface through the internal face of the first aperture hole.

5. The lens module as described in claim 4 , wherein the first supporting surface is parallel to the second supporting surface.

6. The lens module as described in claim 1 , wherein the shading unit is circular in shape.

7. The lens module as described in claim 1 , wherein the shading unit is a metal shading unit, wherein the substrate and the opaque screen are integrally formed.

8. The lens module as described in claim 1 , wherein the shading unit is a plastic shading unit, wherein the substrate and the opaque screen become one integrated structure through die-casting technique.
