Abstract

The present disclosure provides a lens module. The lens module includes a lens barrel with an optical aperture, the lens barrel including an outer wall and an inner wall opposite to the outer wall; at least one lens located in the lens barrel; a shading piece located by an object side or/and an image side of the lens. The shading piece includes an upper surface near the optical aperture, a lower surface away from the optical aperture, an outer ring surface connecting to the upper surface and the lower surface and near the inner wall of the lens barrel, and an inner ring surface connecting to both upper surface and lower surface and opposite to the outer ring surface. The inner ring surface is an arc facing an optical axis of the lens module.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A lens module including:
a lens barrel with an optical aperture, the lens barrel including an outer wall and an inner wall opposite to the outer wall;
at least one lens located in the lens barrel;
a shading piece located by an object side or/and an image side of the lens, the shading piece including an upper surface near the optical aperture, a lower surface away from the optical aperture, an outer ring surface directly connecting to the upper surface and the lower surface and near the inner wall of the lens barrel, and an inner ring surface directly connecting to both upper surface and lower surface and opposite to the outer ring surface, wherein
the inner ring surface is a convex arc facing an optical axis of the lens module in a cross sectional view containing the optical axis, the point closest to the optical axis in the inner ring surface is closer to the optical axis than the lower surface and the upper surface.

2. The lens module as described in claim 1 , wherein the inner ring surface of the shading piece is a Lambertian surface.

3. The lens module as described in claim 2 including at least two pieces of lenses located in the lens barrel, wherein the shading piece is clamped between any two adjacent lenses.

4. The lens module as described in claim 2 further including a shading board in the lens barrel, wherein the shading piece is clamped between the shading board and the lens.

5. The lens module as described in claim 1 , wherein a vertical distance from one end connecting the arc to the upper surface to the optical axis is equal to a vertical distance from the one end connecting the arc to the lower surface to the optical axis.

6. The lens module as described in claim 1 , wherein a vertical distance from one end connecting the arc to the upper surface to the optical axis is less than a vertical distance from the one end connecting the arc to the lower surface to the optical axis.

7. The lens module as described in claim 1 , wherein a vertical distance from one end connecting the arc to the upper surface to the optical axis is more than a vertical distance from the one end connecting the arc to the lower surface to the optical axis.
