Lens and camera module comprising same
The present disclosure relates to a lens and a camera module including the same. The lens according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: an optical part forming an optical surface of the lens; a flange part formed around a circumference of the optical part; a first cut portion formed at one side of the flange part; and a second cut portion formed at another side of the flange part, wherein the first cut portion and the second cut portion form an angle, at which the first and second cut portions are perpendicular to each other, with respect to a central axis of the optical part. Accordingly, a lens form error occurring during assembly of the lens may be reduced, and a reduction in resolution of the lens may be prevented.
1 . A camera module lens comprising:
a plurality of lenses; and
a barrel,
wherein each of the plurality of lenses comprises:
an optical part forming an optical surface of a respective lens among the plurality of lenses;
a flange part formed around a circumference of the optical part;
a first cut portion formed at one side of the flange part; and
a second cut portion formed at another side of the flange part,
wherein the first cut portion and the second cut portion form an angle with respect to a central axis of the optical part, and
the plurality of lens are mounted in the barrel such that the first cut portion corresponding to each of the plurality of lenses are oriented in different directions.
2 . The camera module of claim 1 , wherein the first cut portion and the second cut portion are equal in size and shape.
3 . The camera module of claim 1 , wherein the first cut portion and the second cut portion have different sizes.
4 . The camera module of claim 1 , wherein both ends of the first cut portion are spaced apart from both ends of the second cut portion.
5 . The camera module of claim 1 , wherein the first cut portion and the second cut portion have a shape formed by partially cutting an outer surface of the flange part in a direction perpendicular to a radial direction.
6 . The camera module of claim 5 , wherein the shape is a linear shape.
7 . The camera module of claim 5 , wherein the shape is a curved shape.
8 . The camera module of claim 1 , wherein other portions of an outer surface of the flange part, except for the first cut portion and the second cut portion, have an arc shape.
9 . The camera module of claim 1 , wherein the first cut portion is formed by cutting a gate, which is formed on a side where an injection resin is introduced, in the flange part.
10 . The camera module of claim 1 , wherein the second cut portion is injection molded using a mold.
11 . The camera module of claim 1 , wherein the first cut portion and the second cut portion form the angle, at which the first and second cut portions are perpendicular to each other, with respect to the central axis of the optical part.
