[0113] One embodiment of this disclosure provides an imaging lens comprising a plurality of optical elements and a lens barrel. An optical axis passes through the optical elements, at least one of which is a lens. The lens barrel houses the optical elements. The lens comprises an effective optical portion, an outer peripheral portion, a light-shielding coating, and a nanostructure layer. The optical axis passes through the effective optical portion, which includes an object-side effective optical surface and an image-side effective optical surface. The object-side effective optical surface faces the object side of the imaging lens, and the image-side effective optical surface faces the image side of the imaging lens and is disposed opposite to the object-side effective optical surface. The outer peripheral portion surrounds the effective optical portion and includes an object-side outer peripheral surface, an image-side outer peripheral surface, and an outer diameter surface. The object-side outer peripheral surface faces the object side of the imaging lens, and the image-side outer peripheral surface faces the image side of the imaging lens and is disposed opposite to the object-side outer peripheral surface. The outer diameter surface connects the object-side outer peripheral surface and the image-side outer peripheral surface. A light-shielding coating is disposed on at least one of the object-side outer peripheral surface and the image-side outer peripheral surface and includes a tapered portion. The tapered portion tapers towards the center of the optically active part, and the tapering portion is located near the junction of the optically active part and the outer periphery. A nanostructure layer is disposed on the tapered portion of the optically active part and the light-shielding coating, and the nanostructure layer has multiple irregular ridge-like protrusions. A light-transmitting hole is formed near the junction of the tapered portion of the light-shielding coating along the direction surrounding the optical axis, and the roundness tolerance value of the light-transmitting hole is t, which satisfies the following condition: t < 0.02 mm. Therefore, the above embodiment is an anti-reflection countermeasure where a light-shielding coating is added to the lens surface and then a nanostructure layer is applied. The nanostructure layer is disposed on the tapered portion of the light-shielding coating, which can reduce the reflection of light at the light-transmitting hole of the tapered portion, thereby improving image quality.

[0114] Furthermore, the light-shielding coating can be a black ink spraying layer formed from a quick-drying ink based on epoxy resin, a blackened coating layer formed by chemical vapor deposition, or a photoresistive coating layer, etc., but is not limited to these. When viewed in cross-section, the irregular ridge-like protrusions, resembling a mountain ridge, are wider at the bottom and narrower at the top. This allows the equivalent refractive index of the nanostructure layer to decrease from bottom to top, thus disrupting reflected light and reducing its generation. The light-transmitting aperture formed by the light-shielding coating has a measurable sphericity, indicating that the precision of the light-shielding coating application technology is controllable. The boundary between the optical active part and the outer periphery is a ridge line that can be clearly identified with the naked eye, but is not limited to this. The boundary can also exhibit a convex step appearance, formed by the extension of the respective surfaces of the optical active part and the outer periphery intersecting each other, and having a ridge line at the intersection, but is not limited to this. The term "near the boundary" refers to the area within + / - 0.03 mm of the boundary edge.

[0115] In detail, all surfaces of the optical effective part can be smooth surfaces, and the surface on the outer periphery where the light-shielding coating is disposed can also be a smooth surface. This improves the flowability of the light-shielding coating when applied to the surfaces of the outer periphery, allowing for precise control of the light-shielding position of the coating and the roundness of the light-transmitting aperture. A smooth surface is defined as a surface with a surface roughness Ra < 0.1 μm (micrometer).

[0116] The average height of the nanostructure layer can be between 90 nm and 350 nm, which is a height setting range for the nanostructure layer that does not affect imaging quality while also achieving good anti-reflection effects. Furthermore, the average height of the nanostructure layer can be between 125 nm and 300 nm, which is a height setting range for the nanostructure layer that does not affect imaging quality while also achieving good anti-reflection effects. Additionally, the average height of the nanostructure layer can be between 195 nm and 255 nm. The nanostructure layer is made of alumina (Al₂O₃). When the average height of the nanostructure layer is close to 200 nm, it has a better anti-reflection effect for incident light under certain conditions, but this is not a limitation.

[0117] The roundness tolerance of the light-transmitting aperture is t, which satisfies the following condition: t < 0.01 mm. This allows the light-shielding coating to replace the light-shielding performance of traditional light-shielding sheets. Furthermore, it satisfies the following condition: t < 0.005 mm. This allows for more precise light-shielding position requirements.

[0118] The lens may further include a connecting structure layer, which is disposed between the nanostructure layer and the optical effective part, and also between the nanostructure layer and the outer peripheral part. This connecting structure layer ensures a tight bond between the lens and the nanostructure layer, resulting in high structural stability. The nanostructure layer can also be considered as being disposed on the top layer of the connecting structure layer, for example... Figure 1R , Figure 1S , Figure 1T The cross-section (i.e., transverse section) of the lens observed under an electron microscope shows, from top to bottom, a nanostructure layer, a connecting structure layer, and the optically effective part. The connecting structure layer can also be composed of multiple films with different refractive indices stacked alternately, and it includes at least one silicon dioxide (SiO2) film layer. The surface of the nanostructure layer has multiple porous structures, for example... Figure 1P , Figure 1Q The image shows the distribution of the nanostructure layer on the lens as observed from above using an electron microscope. The surface of the nanostructure layer has multiple pore structures, and the exposed connecting structure layer is in contact with the air.

[0119] The light-shielding coating can be applied to the outer diameter surface. This extends the light-shielding range of the coating, ensuring effective shielding of non-imaging light from the outer diameter surface.

[0120] The light-shielding coating can be applied to the object-side outer peripheral surface, the image-side outer peripheral surface, and the outer diameter surface. This extends the light-shielding range of the coating, allowing it to replace adjacent optical elements with the same function (such as light-shielding sheets), thereby reducing production costs. The light-shielding coating can be applied to the entire outer peripheral surface, which provides better light-shielding performance, but is not a limitation.

[0121] The lens may further include at least one axial connection structure for connecting to an adjacent optical element and aligning with the optical axis of the adjacent optical element. The two adjacent optical elements (i.e., the lens and the other optical element) are interlocked and assembled to achieve alignment and improve the resolution of the imaging lens.

[0122] The light-shielding coating can extend from the outer diameter surface to the at least one axial connection structure. This satisfies the light-shielding requirements at the location of the axial connection structure, thereby improving image quality.

[0123] Another embodiment of this disclosure provides a camera module including the aforementioned imaging lens.

[0124] A further embodiment of this disclosure provides an electronic device including the aforementioned camera module, wherein the camera module further includes an electronic photosensitive element, and the electronic photosensitive element is disposed on the imaging surface of the camera module (i.e., the imaging surface of the imaging lens).

[0125] Another embodiment of this disclosure provides an imaging lens comprising a plurality of optical elements and a lens barrel. An optical axis passes through the optical elements, at least one of which is a lens. The lens barrel houses the optical elements. The lens comprises an effective optical portion, an outer peripheral portion, a light-shielding coating, a nanostructure layer, and at least one axial connecting structure. The optical axis passes through the effective optical portion, which includes an object-side effective optical surface and an image-side effective optical surface. The object-side effective optical surface faces the object side of the imaging lens, and the image-side effective optical surface faces the image side of the imaging lens and is disposed opposite to the object-side effective optical surface. The outer peripheral portion surrounds the effective optical portion and includes an object-side outer peripheral surface, an image-side outer peripheral surface, and an outer diameter surface. The object-side outer peripheral surface faces the object side of the imaging lens, and the image-side outer peripheral surface faces the image side of the imaging lens and is disposed opposite to the object-side outer peripheral surface. The outer diameter surface connects the object-side outer peripheral surface and the image-side outer peripheral surface. A light-shielding coating is disposed on at least one of the object-side outer peripheral surface and the image-side outer peripheral surface and includes a tapered portion. The tapered portion tapers towards the center of the optically active part, and the tapering portion tapers near the junction of the optically active part and the outer peripheral part. A nanostructure layer is disposed on the tapered portion of the optically active part and the light-shielding coating, and the nanostructure layer has multiple irregular ridge-like protrusions. The lens barrel includes an axial alignment structure that connects to the at least one axial connection structure, so that the lens is aligned with the optical axis. A light-transmitting aperture is formed near the junction of the tapered portion of the light-shielding coating along the direction surrounding the optical axis, and the roundness tolerance value of the light-transmitting aperture is t, which satisfies the following condition: t < 0.02 mm.

[0126] In detail, all surfaces of the optical effective part can be smooth surfaces, and the surface on the outer periphery where the light-shielding coating is disposed can also be a smooth surface. This improves the flowability of the light-shielding coating when it is applied to the surfaces of the outer periphery, and allows for precise control of the light-shielding position of the coating and the roundness of the light-transmitting aperture.

[0127] The average height of the nanostructure layer can range from 90 nm to 350 nm. Alternatively, the average height can range from 125 nm to 300 nm. Furthermore, the average height can range from 195 nm to 255 nm. These are all height settings for the nanostructure layer that do not affect imaging quality while also providing good anti-reflective properties.

[0128] The roundness tolerance of the light-transmitting aperture is t, which satisfies the following condition: t < 0.01 mm. This allows the light-shielding coating to replace the light-shielding performance of traditional light-shielding sheets. Furthermore, it satisfies the following condition: t < 0.005 mm. This allows for more precise light-shielding position requirements.

[0129] The lens can be a glass lens. This makes it less susceptible to changes in ambient temperature, thereby maintaining stable optical quality.

[0130] The lens may further include a connecting structure layer disposed between the nanostructure layer and the optical effective part, and also disposed between the nanostructure layer and the outer peripheral part. In this way, the connecting structure layer ensures a tight bond between the lens and the nanostructure layer, resulting in high structural stability.

[0131] The light-shielding coating can be applied to the outer diameter surface. This extends the light-shielding range of the coating, ensuring effective shielding of non-imaging light from the outer diameter surface.

[0132] The light-shielding coating can be applied to the object-side outer peripheral surface, the image-side outer peripheral surface, and the outer diameter surface. This extends the light-shielding range of the coating, allowing it to replace other adjacent optical elements with the same function, thereby reducing production costs.

[0133] The light-shielding coating can extend from the outer diameter surface to the at least one axial connection structure. This satisfies the light-shielding requirements at the location of the axial connection structure, thereby improving image quality.

[0134] Another embodiment of this disclosure provides an imaging lens comprising a plurality of optical elements and a lens barrel. An optical axis passes through the optical elements, at least one of which is a lens. The lens barrel houses the optical elements. The lens comprises an effective optical portion, an outer peripheral portion, a light-shielding coating, and a nanostructure layer. The optical axis passes through the effective optical portion, which includes an object-side effective optical surface and an image-side effective optical surface. The object-side effective optical surface faces the object side of the imaging lens, and the image-side effective optical surface faces the image side of the imaging lens and is disposed opposite to the object-side effective optical surface. The outer peripheral portion surrounds the effective optical portion and includes an object-side outer peripheral surface, an image-side outer peripheral surface, and an outer diameter surface. The object-side outer peripheral surface faces the object side of the imaging lens, and the image-side outer peripheral surface faces the image side of the imaging lens and is disposed opposite to the object-side outer peripheral surface. The outer diameter surface connects the object-side outer peripheral surface and the image-side outer peripheral surface. A light-shielding coating is disposed on at least one of the object-side outer peripheral surface and the image-side outer peripheral surface and includes a tapered portion. The tapering portion tapers towards the center of the optically active part, and the tapering portion tapers near the junction of the optically active part and the outer peripheral part. A nanostructure layer is disposed on the tapering portion of the optically active part and the light-shielding coating, and the nanostructure layer has multiple irregular ridge-like protrusions. A light-transmitting hole is formed in the tapering portion of the light-shielding coating near the junction along the direction surrounding the optical axis.

[0135] In detail, all surfaces of the optical effective part can be smooth surfaces, and the surface on the outer periphery where the light-shielding coating is disposed can also be a smooth surface. This improves the flowability of the light-shielding coating when it is applied to the surfaces of the outer periphery, and allows for precise control of the light-shielding position of the coating and the roundness of the light-transmitting aperture.

[0136] The average height of the nanostructure layer can range from 90 nm to 350 nm. Alternatively, the average height can range from 125 nm to 300 nm. Furthermore, the average height can range from 195 nm to 255 nm. These are all height settings for the nanostructure layer that do not affect imaging quality while also providing good anti-reflective properties.

[0137] The roundness tolerance value of the light-transmitting aperture is t, which satisfies the following condition: t < 0.02 mm. This allows the light-shielding coating to replace the light-shielding performance of traditional light-shielding sheets. Furthermore, it satisfies the following condition: t < 0.01 mm. This allows the light-shielding coating to replace the light-shielding performance of traditional light-shielding sheets. Additionally, it satisfies the following condition: t < 0.005 mm. This allows for more precise light-shielding position requirements.

[0138] The lens may further include a connecting structure layer disposed between the nanostructure layer and the optical effective part, and also disposed between the nanostructure layer and the outer peripheral part. In this way, the connecting structure layer ensures a tight bond between the lens and the nanostructure layer, resulting in high structural stability.

[0139] The nanostructure layer may contain metal oxides, which are selected for their superior anti-reflective properties.

[0140] The material of the connecting structural layer may include non-metallic oxides, and the material properties selected are for better structural stability.

[0141] It should be noted that the same or similar technical features in the above embodiments can achieve the same or similar technical effects, so they will not be repeated. Based on the above embodiments, specific examples are presented below and described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Please refer to... Figure 3A and Figure 3BThe electronic device 70 includes a camera module 700, which includes an imaging lens 710 and an electronic photosensitive element 760. The electronic photosensitive element 760 is disposed on the imaging surface of the camera module 700 (i.e., the imaging surface of the imaging lens 710). The camera module 700 may be the camera module 100 of the first embodiment, the camera module 500 of the second embodiment, or other camera modules according to the present disclosure.

[0187] Specifically, the electronic device 70 is a smartphone and includes four camera modules 700, the four camera modules 700 being... Figure 3A From left to right, the four camera modules 700 can be arranged in the following order: an ultra-wide-angle lens (e.g., with a maximum angle of view of 93 to 175 degrees), a wide-angle main lens (e.g., with a maximum angle of view of 65 to 90 degrees), a telephoto lens (e.g., with a maximum angle of view of 20 to 50 degrees), and a super telephoto lens (e.g., with a maximum angle of view of 5 to 20 degrees). The maximum angle of view of each camera module 700 is not limited to these parameters. The four camera modules 700 are housed within the internal space 73 of the electronic device 70, and light enters each of the four camera modules 700 through four light-entry holes in the lens cover 72 on the outer casing 71 of the electronic device 70. It should be understood that... Figure 3A This is only an exploded view of the lens cover 72 and the internal space 73, and does not indicate that the lens cover 72 and other parts of the electronic device 70 are separated during normal use.

[0188] In addition, the electronic device 70 may also include, but is not limited to, a control unit, a storage unit, a temporary storage unit (RAM), a read-only storage unit (ROM), or a combination thereof.

[0189] Furthermore, the user enters the shooting mode through the user interface 75 of the electronic device 70. At this time, the imaging lens 710 gathers the imaging light onto the electronic image sensor 760 and outputs the electronic signal related to the image to the image signal processor (ISP) 74.

[0190] Depending on the camera specifications of the electronic device 70, each camera module 700 may also include an optical image stabilization component 790, which may be an OIS image stabilization feedback device. Furthermore, the electronic device 70 may also include at least one auxiliary optical element (not otherwise labeled) and at least one sensing element 76. In the third embodiment, the auxiliary optical elements are a flash module 77 and a focus assist module 78. The flash module 77 can be used to compensate for color temperature, and the focus assist module 78 may be an infrared rangefinder, a laser focus module, etc. The sensing element 76 may have the function of sensing physical momentum and kinetic energy, such as an accelerometer, gyroscope, or Hall effect element, to sense the shaking and tremors caused by the user's hand or the external environment. This facilitates the performance of the autofocus function and optical image stabilization component 790 configured in the camera modules 700 of the electronic device 70, resulting in good image quality. This helps the electronic device 70 according to the present disclosure to have multiple shooting modes, such as optimized Selfie, low-light HDR (High Dynamic Range) imaging, and high-resolution 4K video recording. In addition, the user can directly view the captured image through the user interface (i.e., display screen, touch screen) 75 and manually operate the framing on the user interface 75 to achieve a WYSIWYG autofocus function.

[0191] Although the present invention has been disclosed above by way of embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art can make some modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the scope defined in the appended claims.
