Abstract

A plastic lens element includes an effective optical portion and a peripheral portion in order from an optical axis to an edge thereof. The peripheral portion includes a plurality of rib structures, wherein each of the rib structures has a strip shape in a radial direction of the optical axis, and the rib structures are arranged around the effective optical portion and indirectly connected to the effective optical portion.

Claims (36)

1. A lens module, comprising an optical lens assembly, wherein the optical lens assembly comprises at least five lens elements, at least one of the lens elements is a plastic lens element, and in order from an optical axis of the plastic lens element to an edge thereof, the plastic lens element comprises:

an effective optical portion; and

a peripheral portion, comprising:

a plurality of strip-shaped rib structures, wherein each of the strip-shaped rib structures has a strip shape in a radial direction of the optical axis, and the strip-shaped rib structures are arranged around the effective optical portion and indirectly connected to the effective optical portion.

2. The lens module of claim 1 , wherein the strip-shaped rib structures and the plastic lens element are formed integrally.

3. The lens module of claim 1 , wherein a width of each of the strip-shaped rib structures in a circumferential direction of the plastic lens element is (w), and the following condition is satisfied:

0.01 mm<w<0.05 mm.

4. The lens module of claim 2 , wherein at least one of two surfaces of the effective optical portion has a wavy shape.

5. The lens module of claim 1 , wherein each of the strip-shaped rib structures has an inclined surface having an angle with the optical axis of the plastic lens element.

6. The lens module of claim 1 , wherein the optical lens assembly further comprises:

at least one optical element abutted with the plastic lens element, wherein the strip-shaped rib structures of the plastic lens element do not have contact with the optical element.

7. The lens module of claim 1 , wherein the peripheral portion of the plastic lens element further comprises:

an object-side abutting surface disposed on a surface of the peripheral portion facing an object;

wherein the optical lens assembly further comprises:

at least one optical element abutted with the object-side abutting surface.

8. The lens module of claim 7 , wherein the strip-shaped rib structures of the plastic lens element are disposed on the surface of the peripheral portion facing the object, and the strip-shaped rib structures are farther from the effective optical portion than the object-side abutting surface is from the effective optical portion.

9. The lens module of claim 7 , wherein the peripheral portion of the plastic lens element further comprises:

an image-side abutting surface disposed on another surface of the peripheral portion facing an image surface, wherein the image-side abutting surface is farther from the effective optical portion than the object-side abutting surface is from the effective optical portion.

10. An electronic device, comprising:

the lens module of claim 1 .

11. A lens module, comprising an optical lens assembly, wherein the optical lens assembly comprises at least two optical elements, one of the optical elements is a plastic lens element, and in order from an optical axis of the plastic lens element to an edge thereof, the plastic lens element comprises:

an effective optical portion; and

a peripheral portion, comprising:

a plurality of strip-shaped rib structures, wherein each of the strip-shaped rib structures has a strip shape in a radial direction of the optical axis, the strip-shaped rib structures are arranged around the effective optical portion and indirectly connected to the effective optical portion, and the strip-shaped rib structures do not have contact with other ones of the optical elements.

12. The lens module of claim 11 , wherein the strip-shaped rib structures and the plastic lens element are formed integrally.

13. The lens module of claim 11 , wherein a width of each of the strip-shaped rib structures in a circumferential direction of the plastic lens element is (w), and the following condition is satisfied:

0.01 mm<w<0.05 mm.

14. The lens module of claim 12 , wherein at least one of two surfaces of the effective optical portion has a wavy shape.

15. The lens module of claim 11 , wherein each of the strip-shaped rib structures has an inclined surface having an angle with the optical axis of the plastic lens element.

16. The lens module of claim 11 , wherein the peripheral portion of the plastic lens element further comprises:

an object-side abutting surface disposed on a surface of the peripheral portion facing an object, wherein at least another one of the optical elements is abutted with the object-side abutting surface.

17. The lens module of claim 16 , wherein the strip-shaped rib structures of the plastic lens element are disposed on the surface of the peripheral portion facing the object, and the strip-shaped rib structures are farther from the effective optical portion than the object-side abutting surface is from the effective optical portion.

18. The lens module of claim 16 , wherein the peripheral portion of the plastic lens element further comprises:

an image-side abutting surface disposed on another surface of the peripheral portion facing an image surface, wherein the image-side abutting surface is farther from the effective optical portion than the object-side abutting surface is from the effective optical portion.

19. An electronic device, comprising:

the lens module of claim 11 .
