Abstract

An imaging lens assembly has an optical axis and includes at least one lens element. The at least one lens element includes an optical effective region and a peripheral portion. The peripheral portion includes an object-side surface, an image-side surface, a peripheral surface, an annular marking structure and at least one arc portion. The object-side surface faces towards an object side. The image-side surface faces towards an image side and corresponds to the object-side surface. The peripheral surface connects the object-side surface and the image-side surface. The annular marking structure is disposed on one of the object-side surface and the image-side surface, and the annular marking structure is an annular tip-ended protruding structure and surrounds the optical axis. The arc portion is disposed on the other one of the object-side surface and the image-side surface, and the arc portion is an annular protruding arc.
