Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a projection lens assembly. The projection lens assembly includes, sequentially along an optical axis from an image-source side to an image side, a first lens having a positive refractive power or a negative refractive power; a second lens having a positive refractive power or a negative refractive power; and a third lens having a positive refractive power, wherein an image-side surface of the first lens is a convex surface. A distance TTL on the optical axis from an image-source plane of the projection lens assembly to the image-side surface of the third lens and a total effective focal length f of the projection lens assembly satisfy: TTL/f<1.4. An effective focal length f3 of the third lens and the total effective focal length f of the projection lens assembly satisfy: 0<f3/f<18.0.
