Abstract

An imaging lens assembly has an optical axis and includes a plastic lens element set. The plastic lens element set includes two plastic lens elements and at least one anti-reflective layer. The two plastic lens elements, in order from an object side to an image side along the optical axis are a first plastic lens element and a second plastic lens element. The anti-reflective layer has a nanostructure and is disposed on at least one of an image-side surface of the first plastic lens element and an object-side surface of the second plastic lens element.
