A connecting position of the image-side surface and the connecting surface of the glass effective optical portion can have an image-side edge line, and the image-side edge line defines a maximum contour of the image-side surface. Therefore, by configuring a clear edge line, the inspection efficiency can be improved to enhance quality control of the glass effective optical portion.

The object-side edge line and the image-side edge line can be shaded by the plastic outer peripheral portion corresponding to an observation on the mixing optical element from one of the object side and the image side of the imaging lens assembly along the direction parallel to the optical axis. Therefore, size matching degree between the glass effective optical portion and the plastic outer peripheral portion can be ensured.

A bottom surface can be exposed from the outer space corresponding to an observation on the outer space of each of the recess structures from the object side or the image side of the imaging lens assembly along the direction parallel to the optical axis. Therefore, the uniformity of plastic fluid filling blocked by excessive depth of the recess structures can be avoided, and the yield rate of product can be improved.

An air gap can be exposed from the outer space corresponding to observations on the outer space of each of the recess structures from both of the object side and the image side of the imaging lens assembly along the direction parallel to the optical axis. Therefore, by disposing a gas leaking channel at the mixing optical element, the failure rate of assembling can be reduced.

Both of the object-side surface and the image-side surface of the glass effective optical portion physically can contact the plastic outer peripheral portion. That is, there is no gap at the physically contact position of the object-side surface and the image-side surface of the glass effective optical portion and the plastic outer peripheral portion, such that there is no relative displacement between the glass effective optical portion and the plastic outer peripheral portion. Therefore, it is favorable for fixing the glass effective optical portion and the plastic outer peripheral portion at an ideal relative position. It should be mentioned that, “no gap” is a description for the physically contact position, and does not conflict the aforementioned air gap exposed by the inner space.

Both of the object-side surface and the image-side surface of the glass effective optical portion can overlap with the plastic outer peripheral portion along the direction parallel to the optical axis. It can be known that the mixing optical element is manufactured integrally. Therefore, it is favorable for retain the size consistency between the glass effective optical portion and the plastic outer peripheral portion.

In the imaging lens assemblies provided by the aforementioned embodiment, the optical elements can be lens barrels, lens, light block elements, optical filters, reflecting elements, lens spacers, etc., and the mixing optical element can be formed integrally of a glass lens and the plastic outer peripheral portion, by insert molding, for example, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

In the imaging lens assemblies provided by the aforementioned embodiment, the outer surface, the inner surface and the side surfaces of the recess structures can be flat surface, stripping surface, arc surface, step surface, etc. arbitrary forms of surfaces, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

In the imaging lens assemblies provided by the aforementioned embodiment, by measuring the deviation between the geometric central axis of the object-side edge line and the image-side edge line and the optical axis, the eccentricity of the glass effective optical portion relative to the optical axis can be determined. While the plastic outer peripheral portion surrounds and physically contacts the glass effective optical portion, the eccentricity of the mixing optical element relative to the optical axis can be consistent to the eccentricity of the glass effective optical portion relative to the optical axis.
