As shown in FIG. 1, in some embodiments of the disclosure, the optical imaging lens assembly includes: a lens barrel 10, a lens, and a microstructure 20. The lens barrel 10 has a body and a mount hole 12 disposed on the body 11; the lens is disposed in the mount hole 12; and an outer wall surface of the body 11 and/or an inner wall surface of the mount hole 12 is provided with the microstructure 20.


In the above arrangement, the microstructure 20 is disposed on the outer wall surface of the body 11 and/or the inner wall surface of the mount hole 12, of the lens barrel 10.

In some embodiments, the plurality of microstructures 20 are evenly or unevenly arranged at intervals. The above-mentioned different arrangement modes may be selected according to actual conditions.


In other embodiments of the present disclosure, an interval between adjacent microstructures 20 of the plurality of microstructures 20 may be zero according to actual needs, that is to say, two adjacent microstructures 20 are in contact and connected with each other.


In alternative embodiments not shown in the drawings of the present disclosure, when the microstructure 20 is located on the inner wall surface of the mount hole 12, the optical imaging lens assembly includes a plurality of microstructures 20 that are sequentially arranged along an axial direction of the body 11.


As shown in FIG. 1, in some embodiments of the disclosure, the microstructure 20 extends along a circumference of the mount hole 12, to form a ring structure. By the above arrangement, the microstructure 20 has a better effect in improving the surface blackness and light extinction performance of the c lens assembly.


It is to be noted that the above ring structure may be a circular ring structure, and may also be a circular arc structure.


In some embodiments of the present disclosure, according to actual needs, the microstructure 20 may be configured to be rectangular, oval, or the like according to actual needs.


As shown in FIG. 2, in some embodiments of the disclosure, the microstructure 20 includes a convex rib. This arrangement facilitates processing.

As shown in FIG. 2, in some embodiments of the disclosure, a cross section of the convex rib is triangular. This arrangement facilitates the processing on the one hand, and on the other hand, the microstructure 20 has a large contact area with light, it is beneficial for light absorption, reflection, or refraction through the microstructure 20, thereby improving the surface blackness and light extinction performance of the camera lens by the microstructure 20.


In alternative embodiments not shown in the drawings of the present disclosure, according to actual needs, the cross section of the convex rib may be of rectangular or trapezoidal or arc-shaped.


In alternative embodiments not shown in the drawings of the present disclosure, when the microstructure 20 is a grooved structure, the cross section of the grooved structure may be configured into an arc, or an oval, or other shapes.
