Abstract

A micro-lens module including a first lens, a second lens, and an aperture stop is provided. The first lens is disposed between an object side and an image side, wherein a first surface of the first lens facing the object side is an aspheric surface, and the curvature radius of the aspheric surface is R 1 . The second lens is disposed between the first lens and the image side, wherein a second surface of the second lens facing the image side is an aspheric surface, and the curvature radius of the aspheric surface is R 2 . The aperture stop is disposed between the first lens and the second lens, wherein the distance from the first surface to the aperture stop is d 1 , and the distance from the second surface to the aperture stop is d 2 . The micro-lens module satisfies 6>d 2 /d 1 >2.5 and −2.5<R 1 /R 2 <1.5.

Claims (79)

1. A lens module, comprising:

a first lens, disposed between an object side and an image side, wherein a first surface of the first lens facing the object side is an aspheric surface, and a curvature radius of the first surface is R 1 ;

a second lens, disposed between the first lens and the image side, wherein a second surface of the second lens facing the image side is an aspheric surface, and a curvature radius of the second surface is R 2 ;

a light transmissive device, wherein the first lens and the second lens are respectively leaned against two opposite sides of the light transmissive device; and

an aperture stop, disposed between the first lens and the second lens, wherein a distance from the first surface to the aperture stop is dl, and a distance from the second surface to the aperture stop is d 2 ,

wherein the lens module satisfies 6>d 2 /d 1 >2.5 and −2.5<R 1 /R 2 <1.5, an effective focal length (EFL) of the lens module is f, and the lens module satisfies 0.8<f<1.6, and a material refractive index of the first lens and the second lens is n d , and 1.62>n d >1.48,

wherein the first surface and the second surface are even aspheric surfaces, and which are respectively expressed as:
