DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present disclosure provides an imaging lens assembly having an optical axis, and including a plurality of optical elements. The optical axis passes through the optical elements, and the optical elements include a radial reduction lens element and a radial reduction light blocking element. An appearance of the radial reduction lens element is non-circular observed along a direction parallel to the optical axis. The radial reduction lens element includes an optical effective portion and a peripheral portion. The optical axis passes through the optical effective portion. The peripheral portion extends from the optical effective portion towards a direction away from the optical axis, and is disposed around the optical effective portion along a circumferential direction of the optical axis. An appearance of the radial reduction light blocking element is non-circular observed along the direction parallel to the optical axis. The radial reduction light blocking element includes a central opening and a radial reduction part. The optical axis passes through the central opening. The radial reduction part is reduced from a surface of the radial reduction light blocking element towards the optical axis along a direction vertical to the optical axis, so that the central opening is non-circular. The radial reduction part includes a plurality of light blocking structures. The light blocking structures are arranged along the direction vertical to the optical axis, and each of the light blocking structures extends toward a direction close to the optical axis. A number of the light blocking structures is Nr, and the following condition is satisfied: 50<Nr<250. Therefore, it is favorable for reducing the non-imaging light reflected from the radial reduction part effectively by disposing a plurality of light blocking structures on the radial reduction part, so as to enhance the image quality.


In detail, the aforementioned “non-circular” can be an I-CUT, a D-CUT, a playground shaped, a tangent line shaped etc., but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. When the direction parallel to the optical axis is the Z-axis, a direction vertical to the optical axis is an arbitrary direction on an X-Y plane defined by the X-axis and the Y-axis. Moreover, a shape of the light blocking structures can be wedge-shaped, strip-shaped, semi-cylindrical shaped or wavy-shaped, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The aforementioned “radial reduction” can be formed by the mold design of the injection molding or the cutting of the product after molding, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.


A V-shaped groove is formed between each two of the light blocking structures, the V-shaped groove has an angle θ, and the following condition can be satisfied: 0 degrees<θ<90 degrees. Therefore, it is favorable for ensuring both of the light blocking efficiency and the life of the cutting tool of molding by satisfying the aforementioned angle setting range. In detail, the radial reduction light blocking element can be a plastic injection molding spacer or retainer, and the wedge-shaped of each of the light blocking structures can be fabricated by transfer molding. An appearance of the V-shaped groove closest to the optical axis is arranged in curvature along the direction vertical to the optical axis, while observing along the direction parallel to the optical axis. Moreover, the following condition can be satisfied: 30 degrees<θ<65 degrees. Thus, it is favorably for ensuring both of the light blocking efficiency and the life of the cutting tool of molding by satisfying the aforementioned angle setting range.


A radius structure is formed between each two of the light blocking structures, the radius structure has a radius R, and the following condition can be satisfied: 0 mm<R<0.3 mm. Thus, it is favorable for providing better light blocking efficiency.

An auxiliary V-shaped groove can be formed between each two of the auxiliary light blocking structures, the auxiliary V-shaped groove has an angle θ′, and the following condition can be satisfied: 0 degrees<θ′<90 degrees. Therefore, it is favorable for ensuring both of the light blocking efficiency and the life of the cutting tool of molding by satisfying the aforementioned angle setting range. Moreover, the following condition can be satisfied: 30 degrees<θ′<65 degrees.


An air gap can be between the light blocking structures and one of the optical elements adjacent thereto. Therefore, it is favorable for preventing the interference between the radial reduction light blocking element and the optical elements adjacent thereto, so as to ensure the assembling quality.

It is favorable for reducing the non-imaging light reflected from the image lens assembly effectively by the configuration of the first light blocking structures and the second light blocking structures, so as to enhance the image quality.


Further, the second radial reduction light blocking element can be a barrel, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The aforementioned second radial reduction light blocking element is configured to “load” the first radial reduction lens element, that is, the second radial reduction light blocking element can receive, accommodate, physical contact or fix with retaining material to fix the first radial reduction lens element, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the first radial reduction lens element can be received in the second radial reduction light blocking element, and a part of the first radial reduction lens element can be protruded or exposed out of the second radial reduction light blocking element.

For instance, the first radial reduction lens element can be stuck with the second radial reduction light blocking element via an adhesive dispensing process, or fix with the second radial reduction light blocking element via a retainer.


A radius structure is formed between each two of the first light blocking structures, the radius structure has a radius R, and the following condition can be satisfied: 0 mm<R<0.3 mm.
