The present disclosure can be more fully understood by reading the following detailed description of the embodiment, with reference made to the accompanying drawings as follows:
The present disclosure provides an imaging lens assembly module. The imaging lens assembly module has an optical axis, and includes an optical element set, a light blocking element assembling surface and a light absorbing layer. The optical element set includes at least one optical lens element and at least one light blocking sheet. The optical lens element is a plastic lens element, and an object side of the optical lens element is without additional one or more optical lens element disposed thereon. The optical lens element, in order from the optical axis to a peripheral region of the optical lens element, includes an optical effective portion and an outer peripheral portion, wherein the outer peripheral portion surrounds the optical effective portion. The light blocking sheet is disposed on an object side of the outer peripheral portion of the optical lens element, or disposed on one side of the object side and an image side of the outer peripheral portion of the optical lens element which is without additional one or more optical lens element disposed thereon. The light blocking sheet is spaced apart from the outer peripheral portion of the optical lens element, and includes an object-side surface, an image-side surface and an inner opening surface, wherein the inner opening surface surrounds a through hole of the light blocking sheet, and the inner opening surface is connected to the object-side surface and the image-side surface. The light blocking element assembling surface is disposed on an object side of the light blocking sheet, and faces toward an image side of the imaging lens assembly module. Or, the light blocking element assembling surface is disposed on one side of an object side and an image side of the light blocking sheet which is without additional one or more optical lens elements disposed thereon, and the light blocking element assembling surface faces toward the optical lens element. The light blocking element assembling surface is circular annular for the light blocking sheet mounted thereon. The light absorbing layer is disposed on the image-side surface of the light blocking sheet, or disposed on one side of the object side and the image side of the light blocking sheet which has the optical lens element. The light absorbing layer is for fixing the light blocking sheet on the light blocking element assembling surface. Therefore, the light absorbing layer can be for fixing the light blocking sheet on the light blocking element assembling surface, and a stray light in the imaging lens assembly module can be absorbed via the light absorbing layer to ensure the better light blocking performance.
A void is maintained between the light blocking sheet and the outer peripheral portion of the optical lens element. Therefore, the precisely manufactured light blocking sheet does not be compressed via the optical lens element. Furthermore, the misgiving which the light blocking sheet is destroyed during the assembling process can be reduced to ensure the better light blocking performance. Moreover, the light blocking sheet can further be an aperture stop of the imaging lens assembly module to promote the optical quality of the aperture stop.
The light absorbing layer surrounds the through hole of the light blocking sheet to form a concave-curved ring. Furthermore, an initial condition of the light absorbing layer is a liquid, the light absorbing layer is visible absorption, and the light absorbing layer can be made of a quick-drying ink based on a plastic material including a black epoxy resin, an oil-based coating including a resin, an epoxy resin or an acrylic or a coating of a photocurable colloid mixed with an ink. Moreover, the concave-curved ring is formed after an appearance of the light absorbing layer solidifying, and the light absorbing layer is opaque. Therefore, the reflection condition of the stray light can be reduced, and the stability and the steady state of the light blocking sheet can be further increased, which are not affected by the external surroundings.
The imaging lens assembly module can further include a tip-end minimal opening structure circular symmetrical about the optical axis as a center, and the tip-end minimal opening structure is disposed on an object side of the light blocking element assembling surface, or disposed on one side of the object side and the image side of the optical lens element which is without additional one or more optical lens elements disposed thereon, wherein the tip-end minimal opening structure includes a first tapered surface and a second tapered surface. The first tapered surface is tapered from an object side of the imaging lens assembly module to the image side of the imaging lens assembly module, the second tapered surface is tapered from the image side of the imaging lens assembly module to the object side of the imaging lens assembly module, and the first tapered surface and the second tapered surface are intersected to form a tip-end minimal opening. In detail, a structure of the tip-end minimal opening structure and the light blocking sheet are cooperated to each other. The light absorbing layer used as the aperture stop can be disposed on a suitable position, wherein a shape of the first tapered surface and a shape of the second tapered surface are cooperated to a geometric shape of the light blocking sheet, and a light trap for absorbing the stray light can be formed. The light absorbing layer can be smoothly accumulated in a bottom of the light trap. Therefore, the steady state of the aperture stop can be promoted, and the possibility of the reflection of the stray light can be substantially reduced.
The light absorbing layer can be further disposed on the object-side surface of the light blocking sheet. Therefore, the light absorbing layer can be accumulated in a bottom of the second tapered surface, that is, a bottom of the light trap. Therefore, the possibility of the reflection of the stray light can be substantially reduced, and the efficiency of absorbing non-imaging light can be increased.
The light absorbing layer can be closer to the through hole of the light blocking sheet than the light blocking element assembling surface to the through hole of the light blocking sheet. Therefore, the efficiency for fixing the aperture stop via the light absorbing layer can be increased. The light absorbing layer can be farther from the through hole of the light blocking sheet than the light blocking element assembling surface from the through hole of the light blocking sheet. Furthermore, when the imaging lens assembly module is observed from a direction parallel to the optical axis to the image side, the light absorbing layer on the object-side surface of the light absorbing layer is shielded via the tip-end minimal opening structure. Therefore, it is favorable for being a glue-storage groove, and the glue-storage groove is for the light absorbing layer with a flow state accumulated as uneven thickness via a shielding condition. The tip-end minimal opening structure can be adjusted the surface characteristic thereof owing to be made of a plastic material, and the light absorbing layer with the flow state is with capillary effect. Cooperating with a shielding configuration of the tip-end minimal opening structure, the light absorbing layer with the flow state is accumulated as uneven thickness. The disposition of the glue-storage groove is to accumulate a portion of the light absorbing layer, most of the light absorbing layer can be stored in the glue-storage groove, and the excessive light absorbing layer can be avoided so as to a better adhesion between the light blocking sheet and the light blocking element assembling surface. An accumulation of the light absorbing layer is not occupied on the entire light blocking element assembling surface, and a condition of the light blocking sheet exclusively drifted on the light blocking element assembling surface can be reduced.
The outer peripheral portion of the optical lens element can further include an object-side receiving surface facing toward the object side of the optical lens element to be circular annular, and the object-side receiving surface is for being assembled with a lens barrel of the imaging lens assembly module. The lens barrel includes a vertical receiving surface contacted with the object-side receiving surface. Therefore, the object-side receiving surface of the optical lens element does not need to be connected to the light blocking sheet as the aperture stop to disperse the assembling stress of the entire optical element set, and the excessive stress is avoided to apply on the aperture stop to reduce the possibility of deterioration of the quality of the aperture stop.
The object-side receiving surface does not overlap with the light blocking element assembling surface in a direction parallel to the optical axis. Therefore, a range of applied force on a structure is staggered to avoid the light blocking sheet being affected via the optical element set during the assembling process.
The light blocking sheet does not overlap with the lens barrel in the direction parallel to the optical axis and toward the image side of the imaging lens assembly module. Therefore, it is favorable for reducing the complexity of the assembling process of the aperture stop, and the efficiency of manufacture can be promoted. Furthermore, an assembling direction of the aperture stop is consistent with an assembling direction of the optical element set to avoid increasing the cost of machinery, which is for turning the lens barrel during the assembling process.
The concave-curved ring can be recessed to an outer diameter surface of the light blocking sheet. Therefore, it is favorable for increasing the stability and the steady state of the light blocking sheet, which are not affected by the external surroundings. The light absorbing layer disposed on the object-side surface of the light blocking sheet can surround the through hole of the light blocking sheet, the concave-curved ring is formed, and the light blocking sheet is recessed to the light blocking element assembling surface. Therefore, it is favorable for increasing the efficiency for fixing the aperture stop via the light absorbing layer.
When a diameter of the tip-end minimal opening is ψd, and a diameter of the through hole of the light blocking sheet is visa, the following condition can be satisfied: 0.85<ψd/ψsa<1.15. If a value of ψd/ψsa is too high, the structure of an optical system is destroyed to affect a specification. If the value of ψd/ψsa is too low, an efficiency of light blocking is decreased. Hence, ψd/ψsa is remained in the proportion of the aforementioned range, and it is favorable for increasing the efficiency of blocking the stray light. Furthermore, the through hole of the light blocking sheet can be the aperture stop of the imaging lens assembly module, the through hole can be for controlling the amount of incoming light of the imaging lens assembly module, and an opening diameter of the through hole of the light blocking sheet can be an entrance pupil diameter of the imaging lens assembly module.
When the diameter of the through hole of the light blocking sheet is visa, and an outer diameter of the light blocking sheet is ψsd, the following condition can be satisfied: 0.08 mm<(ψsd−ψsa)/2<0.5 mm. Therefore, it is favorable for maintaining the light blocking sheet with smaller dimension to be suitable for the imaging lens assembly module with partially compact, and an excessively unnecessary light blocking range can be reduced.
When the diameter of the through hole of the light blocking sheet is visa, and the outer diameter of the light blocking sheet is ψsd, the following condition can be satisfied: 0.1<(ψsd−ψsa)/ψsa<0.4. Therefore, an opening proportion of the light blocking sheet is for determine an aperture range of the aperture stop to effectively control a specification stability of the imaging lens assembly module.
Each of the aforementioned features of the imaging lens assembly module can be utilized in various combinations for achieving the corresponding effects.
