[0125] The present disclosure provides an imaging lens having an optical axis and including a lens element and a light-shielding element, and the optical axis passes through the lens element. The light-shielding element is light-impervious, and the light-shielding element includes a first light-shielding surface and a plurality of convex structures. The convex structures are disposed on the first light-shielding surface and arranged in a two-dimensional array form. The convex structures are integrally formed with the first light-shielding surface, and each convex structure extends and protrudes away from the first light-shielding surface from a bottom. Among them, on a cross-section coinciding with the optical axis, there is a first included angle between the first light-shielding surface and the optical axis, and the first included angle is θa, which satisfies the following condition: 0.86 < sinθa ≤ 1. Specifically, the two-dimensional array form can be a linear array, a curved array, a circular array, etc., and the convex structures arranged in the two-dimensional array form can form a light trap structure. Thereby, it helps to weaken stray light. When the first included angle satisfies the condition, it is beneficial for stray light to enter the convex structures and the stray light is weakened between the convex structures, which helps to improve the forming quality of the convex structures. Furthermore, the first included angle is θa, which can satisfy the following condition: 0.96 < sinθa ≤ 1.
[0126] The light-shielding element can be disposed corresponding to the lens element. The first light-shielding surface of the light-shielding element faces an image side direction, and the first light-shielding surface and the lens element can be adjacently disposed.
[0127] Furthermore, the imaging lens may further include a reflection element. The reflection element may be disposed on an object side or an image side of the lens element, and may include a first reflection surface. The first reflection surface may be used to deflect the optical axis. In addition, the light shielding element may be disposed corresponding to the lens element or the reflection element, and the first light shielding surface may be disposed between the lens element and the reflection element.
[0128] Furthermore, a cross-section of the bottom of each convex structure may be circular. Each convex structure extends and protrudes away from the first light shielding surface from the bottom, and an arc surface is formed at a top of each convex structure. Thereby, the circular cross-section of the bottom of each convex structure can weaken stray light between the convex structures.
[0129] A first included angle between the first light shielding surface and the optical axis may vary with the distance from the optical axis. Thereby, it helps to improve the influence of stray light with various incident directions. Specifically, the first included angle between the first light shielding surface and the optical axis is not a fixed value.
[0130] Furthermore, the first light shielding surface faces the reflection element. The first light shielding surface may include an inclined portion, and the inclined portion gradually moves away from the reflection element in a direction away from the optical axis. Thereby, it helps to guide stray light outside the reflection element.
[0131] The first included angle is between the inclined portion and the optical axis. The first included angle is θa, and it may satisfy the following condition: -0.5 ≤ cosθa < 0.
[0132] The convex structures are arranged in an array in a direction away from the optical axis. On a cross-section coinciding with the optical axis, taking the top of the convex structure closest to the optical axis as a reference point, in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis, the distance between the reference point and the optical axis is X, and in a direction parallel to the optical axis, the distance between the reference point and the reflection element or the lens element towards which the first light shielding surface faces is Y, and it may satisfy the following condition: 0.03 < Y / X < 0.76. When the setting position of the convex structure satisfies this condition, it helps to make stray light enter the light trap structure formed by the convex structures arranged in a two-dimensional array form, thereby enhancing the effect of weakening stray light.
[0133] Furthermore, the convex structures may be further arranged in an array along a direction surrounding the optical axis. Thereby, the convex structures arranged in a two-dimensional array form help to weaken stray light incident from different directions, and can enhance the effect of the light trap structure in destroying stray light.
[0134] The height of each convex structure is H, and it may satisfy the following condition: 6μm < H < 102μm. Thereby, the light trap structure can have sufficient ability to capture stray light. Specifically, when the first light shielding surface is an inclined surface, the height is calculated based on the central axis of each convex structure.
[0135] The height of each convex structure is H. On the cross-section coinciding with the optical axis, the height difference between any two adjacent convex structures is ΔH, which can satisfy the following conditions: 0.05 < ΔH / H < 0.55. Specifically, an appropriate height difference ratio helps to capture stray light.
[0136] On the cross-section coinciding with the optical axis, the height difference between any two adjacent convex structures is ΔH, which can satisfy the following conditions: 1.5 μm < ΔH < 29 μm. Specifically, a moderate height difference helps to make stray light enter between the convex structures. Thereby, the stray light can be attenuated by the convex structures.
[0137] The spacing distance between any two adjacent convex structures can be greater than the height of each convex structure. Thereby, it helps to make the stray light reflect between the convex structures, and then attenuate the stray light. Specifically, the spacing distance between adjacent convex structures is calculated based on the central axis.
[0138] The light-shielding element may further include a second light-shielding surface. The second light-shielding surface may include a plurality of strip structures. The strip structures are arranged in an array along the direction around the optical axis, and the cross-section of each strip structure is triangular. Thereby, it helps to attenuate different forms of stray light.
[0139] On the cross-section coinciding with the optical axis, there is a second included angle θb between the second light-shielding surface and the optical axis. The second included angle can satisfy the following conditions: 0.5 < cosθb < 1. Specifically, when the second included angle between the second light-shielding surface and the optical axis is small, it is not easy to arrange the convex structures. Therefore, the strip structures can be used to avoid the generation of stray light on the second light-shielding surface. Specifically, the combination of the inclined part and the second light-shielding surface can form a structure similar to a groove. Moreover, the design of the combination of the light-shielding element with the inclined part and the second light-shielding surface makes it easier to design the bearing mechanism for the light-shielding element to be lapped with other elements.
[0140] The reflecting element may further include a second reflecting surface, which is used to turn the optical axis again. Thereby, it is beneficial to compress the volume of the imaging lens.
[0141] The reflecting element may further include an incident surface and an exit surface. The optical axis enters the reflecting element from the incident surface and leaves the reflecting element from the exit surface. Among them, the incident surface and the exit surface can be the same surface. Thereby, it is beneficial to compress the volume of the imaging lens.
[0142] The number of lens elements can be at least two, and the distance between the lens elements can be variable. Thereby, the imaging lens can have the ability to change the shooting focal length.
[0143] The present disclosure provides an imaging lens having an optical axis and including an optical element, a photosensitive element, and a light-shielding element. The optical element is light-transmissive, and the optical axis passes through the optical element. The photosensitive element is used for sensing light, and the photosensitive element is disposed corresponding to the optical element. The light-shielding element is light-impervious, the light-shielding element is disposed corresponding to the optical element or the photosensitive element, and the light-shielding element includes a first light-shielding surface and a plurality of convex structures. The first light-shielding surface is disposed between the optical element and the photosensitive element. The convex structures are disposed on the first light-shielding surface and arranged in a two-dimensional array form. The convex structures are integrally formed with the first light-shielding surface, and a cross-section of a bottom of each convex structure is circular. Each convex structure extends and protrudes away from the first light-shielding surface from the bottom, and an arc surface is formed at a top of each convex structure. Among them, on a cross-section coinciding with the optical axis, there is a first included angle between the first light-shielding surface and the optical axis. The first included angle is θa, which satisfies the following condition: 0.86 < sinθa ≤ 1. Specifically, the photosensitive element can also be displaced relative to the optical element. Thereby, functions of optical focusing or optical anti-shake can be achieved. In addition, the two-dimensional array form can be a linear array, a curved array, a circular array, etc., and the convex structures arranged in the two-dimensional array form can form a light trap structure. Thereby, it helps to weaken stray light. When the first included angle satisfies the condition, it is beneficial for stray light to enter the convex structures, and the stray light is weakened between the convex structures, which helps to improve the molding quality of the convex structures. Furthermore, the first included angle is θa, which can satisfy the following condition: 0.96 < sinθa ≤ 1.
[0144] The first included angle between the first light-shielding surface and the optical axis can vary with the distance from the optical axis. Thereby, it helps to improve the influence of stray light with various incident directions. Specifically, the first included angle between the first light-shielding surface and the optical axis is not a fixed value.
[0145] Furthermore, the first light-shielding surface faces the optical element. The first light-shielding surface can include an inclined portion, and the inclined portion gradually moves away from the optical element in a direction away from the optical axis. Thereby, it helps to guide the stray light outside the reflecting element.
[0146] The first included angle is between the inclined portion and the optical axis. The first included angle is θa, which can satisfy the following condition: -0.5 ≤ cosθa < 0.
[0147] The convex structures are arranged in an array form in a direction away from the optical axis. On a cross-section coinciding with the optical axis, taking the top of the convex structure closest to the optical axis as a reference point, in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis, the distance between the reference point and the optical axis is X, and in a direction parallel to the optical axis, the distance between the reference point and the optical element facing the first light-shielding surface is Y2, which can satisfy the following condition: 0.03 < Y2 / X < 0.76. When the setting position of the convex structures satisfies this condition, it helps to make the stray light enter the light trap structure formed by the convex structures arranged in the two-dimensional array form, thereby enhancing the effect of weakening the stray light.
[0148] The convex structures can be further arranged in an array along the direction around the optical axis. Thereby, the convex structures arranged in a two-dimensional array contribute to weakening the stray light incident from different directions, and can enhance the effect of the light trap structure in destroying the stray light.
[0149] The height of each convex structure is H, which can satisfy the following condition: 6 μm < H < 102 μm. Thereby, the light trap structure can have sufficient stray light capturing ability. Specifically, when the first light shielding surface is an inclined surface, the height is calculated based on the central axis of each convex structure.
[0150] The height of each convex structure is H. On the cross-section coinciding with the optical axis, the height difference between any two adjacent convex structures is ΔH, which can satisfy the following condition: 0.05 < ΔH / H < 0.55. Specifically, an appropriate height difference ratio helps to capture the stray light.
[0151] The spacing distance between any two adjacent convex structures can be greater than the height of each convex structure. Thereby, it helps to reflect the stray light between the convex structures, and further weakens the stray light. Specifically, the spacing distance between adjacent convex structures is calculated based on the central axis.
[0152] The light shielding element may further include a second light shielding surface. The second light shielding surface may include a plurality of strip structures, which are arranged in an array along the direction around the optical axis, and the cross-section of each strip structure is triangular. Thereby, it helps to weaken different forms of stray light.
[0153] On the cross-section coinciding with the optical axis, there is a second included angle θb between the second light shielding surface and the optical axis, which can satisfy the following condition: 0.5 < cosθb < 1. Specifically, when the second included angle between the second light shielding surface and the optical axis is small, it is not easy to arrange the convex structures. Therefore, the strip structures can be used to avoid the generation of stray light on the second light shielding surface. Specifically, the combination of the anti-slope portion and the second light shielding surface can form a structure similar to a groove. Furthermore, the light shielding element with an anti-slope portion and the second light shielding surface are designed in combination, making it easier to design a bearing mechanism for the light shielding element to搭接 with other elements.
[0154] Each technical feature in the imaging lens module of the above disclosure can be combined and configured to achieve the corresponding effects.
[0155] The present disclosure provides an electronic device, including the aforementioned imaging lens.

Figure 4A and Figure 4BAs can be seen, the electronic device 10 is a smartphone, which includes an imaging lens and a user interface 11. More specifically, the imaging lens is an ultra-wide-angle imaging lens 12, a high-resolution imaging lens 13, and a telephoto imaging lens 14, and the user interface 11 is a touch screen, but this is not a limitation. Specifically, each imaging lens can be an imaging lens provided by any of the aforementioned first to third embodiments, but this disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0192] The user enters the shooting mode through the user interface 11, which displays the screen and allows manual adjustment of the shooting angle to switch between different imaging lenses. At this time, the imaging lens gathers the imaging light onto the electronic image sensor and outputs electronic signals related to the image to the image signal processor (ISP) 15.
