The larger photosensitive elements can bring better imaging quality to users, but will make the background blurred. An existing variable aperture module can be used to adjust the degree of background blur and control the amount of light entering the imaging lens. However, due to the limitation of volume, it is not easy for the camera module to realize the functionality of the variable aperture module.

[0092] The detailed features and advantages of the present disclosure are described in detail in the following embodiments, and the contents are sufficient to enable any person skilled in the relevant art to understand the technical content of the present disclosure and implement it accordingly. According to the contents disclosed in this specification, the claims and the drawings, any person skilled in the art can easily understand the relevant purposes and advantages of the present disclosure. The following examples further illustrate the concept of the present disclosure in detail, but do not limit the scope of the present disclosure in any way.
[0093] The present disclosure provides an imaging lens module, which includes an imaging lens, a variable aperture module, a first spacer and a second spacer. The imaging lens includes an object side lens group and an image side lens group, and an optical axis of the imaging lens passes through the object side lens group and the image side lens group.
[0094] The variable light-through hole module is arranged between the object side lens group and the image side lens group, and the variable light-through hole module includes a shading plate group, a plurality of fixed shafts, a movable part and a driving mechanism. The shading plate group includes at least two shading plates, which are stacked on each other along a circumferential direction around the optical axis and together form a light-through hole with an adjustable aperture size, and the optical axis of the imaging lens passes through the light-through hole. The fixed shaft is arranged corresponding to the shading plate group, and the movable part is arranged corresponding to the shading plate group. The driving mechanism is used to drive the movable part to rotate along the circumferential direction so that the shading plate group can be moved relative to the fixed shaft to adjust the aperture size of the light-through hole. The object side lens group may be, for example, one or more lenses located on the object side of the variable light-through hole module, and the image side lens group may be, for example, one or more lenses located on the image side of the variable light-through hole module. In addition, the present disclosure is not limited to the number of lenses in a single lens group.
[0095] The fixed axis is disposed on the first spacer, and the second spacer is correspondingly disposed with the first spacer. Wherein, the first spacer and the second spacer are coupled to each other and jointly form an inner space, and the inner space accommodates the variable aperture module. Wherein, the first spacer can be disposed on the image side of the variable aperture module, and the optical axis can pass through the center of the first spacer, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Wherein, the second spacer can be disposed on the object side of the variable aperture module, and the optical axis passes through the center of the second spacer, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Wherein, the first spacer and the second spacer can be made of plastic, metal, or a mixture of plastic and metal respectively, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0096] In one embodiment, the second spacer can carry the object-side lens group and be in physical contact with the object-side lens group. Thereby, the object-side lens group can be aligned with the optical axis to ensure the assembly quality.
[0097] In another embodiment, the first spacer can carry the image-side lens group and be in physical contact with the image-side lens group. Thereby, the image-side lens group can be aligned with the optical axis to ensure the assembly quality.
[0098] The imaging lens module disclosed in the present disclosure can adjust the aperture size of the aperture corresponding to the shooting environment with different light input requirements by configuring the variable aperture module in the imaging lens module, so as to improve the imaging quality. In addition, through the configuration among the above-mentioned spacer, fixed axis, lens group, and variable aperture module, the space utilization rate of the imaging lens module can be improved, and the module miniaturization can be achieved.
[0099] The lens group distance between the object-side lens group and the image-side lens group is T, and the area difference between the maximum aperture and the minimum aperture of the aperture is ΔA, which can satisfy the following condition: 0.1 < T / √ΔA < 0.9. Thereby, the variable aperture module has a better shading effect ratio range. Please refer to Fig.11 , which shows a schematic diagram of the lens group distance T between the object-side lens group 21 and the image-side lens group 22 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. Please also refer to Fig.12 and Fig.14 , which respectively show partial element top views of the variable aperture module of the imaging lens module according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure in the maximum aperture state and the minimum aperture state. Among them, the maximum aperture area of the aperture LPH is A1 (corresponding to Fig.12 ), the minimum aperture area of the aperture LPH is A2 (corresponding to Fig.14 ), and the area difference ΔA between the maximum aperture and the minimum aperture of the aperture LPH is ΔA = A1 - A2.
[0100] The maximum viewing angle of the imaging lens module is FOV, which can meet the following conditions: 85 degrees < FOV < 210 degrees. Thereby, it can meet the shooting requirements of the ultra-wide-angle imaging lens. Among them, the maximum viewing angle (FOV) of the imaging lens module can be, for example, 157.9 degrees, 179.3 degrees, 198 degrees, etc., and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0101] The variable aperture module may further include at least one rolling element, a fixed hole element, and a printed circuit board (PCB). Among them, the rolling element can be disposed between the first spacer and the movable member, and when the driving mechanism drives the movable member to rotate in the circumferential direction, the rolling element provides the movable member with a rotational freedom relative to the first spacer. The fixed hole element is disposed between the object-side lens group and the image-side lens group, and the fixed hole element is adjacent to the light-shielding sheet group to define a fixed aperture value. And the printed circuit board is correspondingly disposed with the driving mechanism and electrically connected to the driving mechanism. Thereby, taking into account the driving efficiency and the optical performance, it is a better configuration. Among them, the printed circuit board can also be a flexible printed circuit (FPC), but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0102] The fixed hole element may include a central opening, and the optical axis of the imaging lens passes through the central opening. Among them, there may be no other optical lenses between the central opening of the fixed hole element and the light-passing hole formed by the light-shielding sheet group.
[0103] The first spacer may include a notch structure, and the notch structure can allow the printed circuit board to pass through, so that the printed circuit board can be electrically connected to an external device (circuit).
[0104] The second spacer may include a protrusion structure, and the protrusion structure is disposed opposite to the notch structure of the first spacer. Among them, the notch structure and the protrusion structure are disposed opposite to each other and form a channel therebetween, and the channel can allow the printed circuit board to pass through. Thereby, by disposing the notch structure and the protrusion structure opposite to each other to form a channel for the flat printed circuit board to pass through the channel, the design complexity of the printed circuit board can be reduced. Please refer to Figure 8 , which shows a schematic diagram of the channel PT formed between the notch structure 40 and the protrusion structure 50 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0105] The driving mechanism may include at least one coil and at least one magnet. Among them, the coil is disposed on the printed circuit board, and the magnet is disposed on the movable member. Thereby, it is a configuration with better driving efficiency of the driving mechanism.
[0106] The rolling elements and magnets can be arranged circumferentially, and the magnets are adjacent to the rolling elements on both the clockwise and counterclockwise sides. Thereby, the movable member rotates more stably and balanced relative to the first spacer.
[0107] The length of each magnet in the circumferential direction is Lm, and the maximum outer diameter of the movable member is Dm, which can satisfy the following condition: 0.1 < Lm / Dm < 0.8. Thereby, compared with the conventional two-stage variable aperture, the stepless continuous variable aperture can perform multi-stage fine adjustment on the light input amount of the lens to improve the optical design margin. Among them, in some embodiments, using elongated magnets is beneficial to achieve the function of stepless continuous variable aperture. Please refer to Figure 7 , which shows a schematic diagram of the length Lm of one of the magnets 662 in the circumferential direction D1 and the maximum outer diameter Dm of the movable member 62 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0108] The distance along the optical axis direction between the light passing hole and the image side surface of one of the most image side lenses in the image side lens group is SD, and the distance along the optical axis direction between the object side surface of one of the most object side lenses in the object side lens group and the image side surface of the most image side lens is TD, which can satisfy the following condition: 0 < SD / TD < 0.9. Thereby, the variable light passing hole module has a better shading effect ratio range. Please refer to Fig.11 , which shows a schematic diagram of the parameters SD and TD according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0109] The imaging lens may further include an infrared cut coating, and the infrared cut coating is disposed on a surface of one of the lenses in the object side lens group. Thereby, the infrared cut coating can filter out excess infrared light and make the imaging picture clear. One surface of the lens may be one of the object side surface and the image side surface of the lens.
[0110] One of the lenses in the image side lens group can be made of an infrared cut material. Thereby, the infrared cut material can filter out excess infrared light and make the imaging picture clear.
[0111] The imaging lens module disclosed in the present disclosure may further include a retainer and an O-ring. The retainer is disposed on the object side of the imaging lens, and the retainer is in physical contact with the most object-side lens in the object-side lens group. In addition, the O-ring may be disposed between the retainer and the second spacer or between the object-side lens group and the second spacer, so that the configuration of the O-ring can prevent external moisture and dust from entering the imaging lens. In this way, the environmental adaptability and durability of the imaging lens module are improved.
[0112] The present disclosure provides a camera module, which includes the aforementioned imaging lens module and an electronic photosensitive element, wherein the electronic photosensitive element is disposed on an imaging surface of the imaging lens module.
[0113] The present disclosure provides an electronic device, which includes the aforementioned camera module.

[0142] In the present embodiment, the electronic device 7 is a mobile device, wherein the mobile device may be a computer, a smart phone, a smart wearable device, an aerial camera, or a vehicle-used image recording and display instrument, etc., and the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The electronic device 7 includes a camera module 70a, a camera module 70b, a camera module 70c, a camera module 70d, a camera module 70e, a flash module 72, a focus assist module 73, an image signal processor (Image Signal Processor), a display device 75, an image software processor, and a biometric sensor 77. Among them, the camera module 70a, for example, includes the imaging lens module 1 and the electronic photosensitive element of the first embodiment, and the electronic photosensitive element is disposed on the imaging surface of the imaging lens module 1. The camera module 70b is a wide-angle camera module, the camera module 70c is a macro camera module, and the camera module 70e is a time of flight (ToF) camera module. In other embodiments, the camera module 70a may, for example, include the imaging lens module of other embodiments of the present disclosure, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In addition, the camera module 70b, the camera module 70c, the camera module 70d, and the camera module 70e may also include, for example, the imaging lens modules of other embodiments of the present disclosure described above.
[0143] The camera modules 70a, 70b and 70c are all disposed on the same side of the electronic device 7. The camera modules 70d, 70e and the display device 75 are all disposed on the other side of the electronic device 7, and the display device 75 can be a user interface, so that the camera modules 70d and 70e can be used as front lenses to provide a selfie function, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0144] The camera modules 70a, 70b and 70c of this embodiment have different viewing angles, so that the electronic device 7 can provide different magnifications to achieve an optical zoom shooting effect. For example, the camera module 70b has a wider maximum viewing angle, and the image it captures can refer to Fig.23 , which shows a schematic diagram of an image captured by the electronic device 7 using a wide-viewing angle camera module, wherein the captured image includes the entire church, surrounding buildings and people on the square. Fig.23 The image has a larger viewing angle and depth of field, but is often accompanied by greater distortion.

Fig.24 As shown in FIG. 1 , when the variable aperture module of the camera module 70a provides a larger aperture, the electronic photosensitive element receives more light, but the background is more blurred. Fig.25 As shown, when the variable aperture module of the camera module 70a provides a smaller aperture, the electronic photosensitive element obtains less light but can obtain a clearer background. Fig.24 and Fig.25 The image has a smaller viewing angle and depth of field, so that the camera module 70a can be used to shoot moving targets. The lens driver drives the lens group to quickly and continuously automatically focus on the target, so that the target object will not be blurred due to being far away from the focus position; when taking an image, the camera module 70a can further perform optical zoom on the shooting subject to obtain a clearer image. In addition, the camera module 70e can obtain the depth information of the image. The above-mentioned electronic device 7 is taken as an example of including multiple camera modules, but the number and configuration of the camera modules are not used to limit the present disclosure.

The focus auxiliary module 73 can use an infrared or laser focus auxiliary system to achieve fast focusing.
[0146] In addition, the electronic device 7 can also use the camera module 70d or the camera module 70e to shoot. When the camera module 70d or the camera module 70e is shooting, a prompt light 82 can be illuminated to remind the user that the electronic device 7 is shooting. The display device 75 can use a touch screen or a physical shooting button of a zoom control key 751 and a focus and shooting button 752, and cooperate with the diverse functions of the image software processor to perform image shooting and image processing. The image processed by the image software processor can be displayed on the display device 75. The user can also replay the previously shot image through the image playback button 753 of the display device 75, and can also select a suitable camera module to shoot through the camera module switching button 754, and can also adjust the appropriate shooting conditions for the current shooting scene through the integrated menu button 755.
[0147] Furthermore, the electronic device 7 further includes a circuit board 78, and the circuit board 78 carries a plurality of electronic components 79. The camera module 70a, the camera module 70b, the camera module 70c, the camera module 70d, and the camera module 70e are electrically connected to the electronic component 79 via a connector 781 on the circuit board 78, wherein the electronic component 79 may include a signal transmitting module, and the image may be transmitted to other electronic devices or cloud storage via the signal transmitting module. The signal transmitting module may be a wireless network technology (Wireless Fidelity, WiFi) module, a Bluetooth module, an infrared module, a network service module, or an integrated module of the above-mentioned multiple signal transmissions, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0148] The electronic component 79 may also include a storage unit, a random access memory to store image signals, a gyroscope, and a position locator to facilitate navigation or positioning of the electronic device 7. In this embodiment, the image signal processor, the image software processor, and the random access memory are integrated into a single chip system 74, but the present disclosure is not limited to this configuration. In some other embodiments, the electronic component may also be integrated into a camera module or may also be disposed on one of a plurality of circuit boards.
