Abstract

There is provided a lens module including: a first lens including a first conical surface based on an optical axis and a first flat surface extending in a vertical direction with respect to the optical axis; and a second lens including a second conical surface based on an optical axis and a second flat surface extending in a vertical direction with respect to the optical axis, wherein the first conical surface and the first flat surface are connected by a first curved surface having a first radius, and the second conical surface and the second flat surface are connected by a second curved surface having a second radius.

Claims (11)

1. A lens module, comprising:

a first lens having a protrusion formed on a first flange part of one surface of the first lens;

a second lens having a groove formed in a second flange part of a surface of the second lens facing the one surface of the first lens, the protrusion of the first lens being fitted in the groove of the second lens;

a cross section of the protrusion including a first flat portion extending in a direction perpendicular with respect to the optical axis and a first curved portion having a first radius; and

a cross section of the groove including a second flat portion extending in a direction perpendicular with respect to the optical axis and a second curved portion having a second radius.

2. The lens module of claim 1 , wherein the first radius and the second radius have the same length.

3. The lens module of claim 1 , wherein the first radius and the second radius have different lengths.

4. The lens module of claim 3 , wherein the first radius, of the cross section of the protrusion of the first lens, is less than the second radius, of the cross section of the groove of the second lens.

5. The lens module of claim 1 , wherein a maximum width of the protrusion of the first lens is different from a maximum width of the groove of the second lens.

6. The lens module of claim 1 , further comprising a lens barrel having a receiving space in which the first lens and the second lens are received.

7. The lens module of claim 6 , wherein the receiving space contacts any one of the first lens and the second lens.
