Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A lens module capable of reducing flare includes a lens cone, a lens group, and a light-shielding sheet group. The lens group comprises a plurality of lenses formed from an object side of the lens module to an image side of the lens module. The light-shielding sheet group comprises a plurality of light-shielding sheets. The plurality of light-shielding sheets is embedded between each adjacent two lenses of the plurality of lenses. A difference value between an inner diameter of the lens cone corresponding to a first light shielding sheets arranged from the image side to the object side and an outer diameter of the first light shielding sheets arranged from the image side to the object side is greater than 0.01 mm and less than 0.02 mm. The disclosure also relates to an electronic device.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A lens module comprising: a lens cone; a lens group, wherein the lens group comprises a plurality of lenses formed from an object side of the lens module to an image side of the lens module; and a light-shielding sheet group, wherein the light-shielding sheet group comprises a plurality of light-shielding sheets; the plurality of light-shielding sheets is embedded between each adjacent two lenses of the plurality of lenses; and wherein a difference value between an inner diameter of the lens cone corresponding to one of the plurality of light shielding sheets arranged on the image side and an outer diameter of the light shielding sheet arranged on the image side is greater than 0.01 mm and less than 0.02 mm. 2 . The lens module of claim 1 , further comprising a gasket, wherein the gasket is formed between last two of the plurality of lenses from the object side to the image side; wherein last one of the plurality of light-shielding sheets from the object side to the image side is formed between a penultimate lens of the plurality of lenses from the object side to the image side and the gasket. 3 . The lens module of claim 1 , wherein further comprising a stopper closed to last one of the plurality of lenses from the object side to the image side and fixed in the lens cone. 4 . The lens module of claim 1 , further comprising a filter and a sensor; wherein: the lens group, the filter, and the sensor are sequentially arranged from the object side to the image side; the lens group is fixed in the lens cone; the filter is formed on the sensor and faces the lens group; and the sensor faces the lens group. 5 . The lens module of claim 2 , wherein the lens group comprises a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, and a fourth lens sequentially mounted in the lens cone from the object side to the image side; the gasket is formed between the third lens and the fourth lens. 6 . The lens module of claim 5 , wherein the light-shielding sheet group comprises a first light-shielding sheet, a second light-shielding sheet, and a third light-shielding sequentially mounted in the lens cone from the object side to the image side; the third light-shielding sheet is located on the image side; the first light-shielding sheet is mounted between the first lens and the second lens; the second light-shielding sheet is mounted between the second lens and the third lens; and the third light-shielding sheet is mounted between the third lens and the gasket. 7 . The lens module of claim 6 , wherein the third light-shielding sheet has an outer diameter D 1 ; wherein the lens cone has an inner diameter D 2 corresponding to the third light-shielding sheet; wherein the D 1 and D 2 satisfy a following relationship: 0.01 mm<D 2 −D 1 <0.02 mm. 8 . An electronic device, comprising: a body; and a lens module mounted in the body comprising: a lens cone; a lens group, wherein the lens group comprises a plurality of lenses formed from an object side of the lens module to an image side of the lens module; and a light-shielding sheet group, wherein the light-shielding sheet group comprises a plurality of light-shielding sheets; the plurality of light-shielding sheets is embedded between each adjacent two lenses of the plurality of lenses; and wherein a difference value between an inner diameter of the lens cone corresponding to one of the plurality of light shielding sheets arranged on the image side and an outer diameter of the light shielding sheet arranged on the image side is greater than 0.01 mm and less than 0.02 mm. 9 . The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the lens module further comprises a gasket, the gasket is formed between last two of the plurality of lenses from the object side to the image side; last one of the plurality of light-shielding sheets from the object side to the image side is formed between a penultimate lens of the plurality of lenses from the object side to the image and the gasket. 10 . The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the lens module further comprises a stopper closed to last one of the plurality of lenses from the object side to the image side and fixed in the lens cone. 11 . The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the lens module further comprises a filter and a sensor; wherein the lens group, the filter, and the sensor are sequentially arranged from the object side to the image side; the lens group is fixed in the lens cone; the filter is formed on the sensor and faces the lens group; and the sensor faces the lens group. 12 . The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the lens group comprises a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, and a fourth lens sequentially mounted in the lens cone from the object side to the image side; the gasket is formed between the third lens and the fourth lens. 13 . The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the light-shielding sheet group comprises a first light-shielding sheet, a second light-shielding sheet, and a third light-shielding sequentially mounted in the lens cone from the object side to the image side; the third light-shielding sheet is located on the image side; the first light-shielding sheet is mounted between the first lens and the second lens; the second light-shielding sheet is mounted between the second lens and the third lens; the third light-shielding sheet is mounted between the third lens and the gasket; and the third light-shielding sheet is located on the image side. 14 . The electronic device of claim 13 , wherein the third light-shielding sheet has an outer diameter D 1 , wherein the lens cone has an inner diameter D 2 corresponding to the third light-shielding sheet; wherein the D 1 and D 2 satisfy a following relationship: 0.01 mm<D 2 −D 1 <0.02 mm.
