Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure provides a lens assembly. The lens assembly, includes at least one lens having a central part used for imaging and an edge part around the central part; and a shading unit in the at least one lens. The edge part depresses from an image side surface to an object side surface and forms a concave part for positioning the shading unit. In addition, the present disclosure further discloses a lens module including the lens assembly mentioned above.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A lens assembly, including: at least one lens having a central part used for imaging and an edge part around the central part; a shading unit in the at least one lens; wherein the edge part depressing from an image side surface to an object side surface and forming a concave part for positioning the shading unit; the shading unit extending from an image side surface of the lens to an object side surface along a direction parallel to an optical axis of the lens assembly; an anti-dazzling screen or a shading board disposed under the shading unit, the anti-dazzling screen or the shading board is fixed to the edge part of the lens and covers the concave part to abuts against the shading unit to enforce the shading unit. 2. The lens assembly as described in claim 1 , wherein an axis of the shading unit is co-linear with the optical axis and the shading unit is arranged in the edge part close to one side of the optical axis. 3. The lens assembly as described in claim 1 , wherein the shading unit is made of metal or plastic. 4. The lens assembly as described in claim 1 , wherein the shading unit is a black shading unit made by black plastics or a metal shading unit by darkening process. 5. The lens assembly as described in claim 1 , wherein the lens is integrally formed with the shading unit. 6. The lens assembly as described in claim 1 , wherein the lens is made of glass or plastic. 7. A lens module, including: a lens barrel; a plurality of lens assemblies accommodated in the lens barrel, the lens assemblies comprising at least a first lens assembly and a second lens assembly, the second lens being same as the lens assembly as described in claim 1 .
