## Abstract

A photographing lens module includes a plurality of lens elements, wherein one of the lens elements is a plastic lens element, and at least one surface of an object-side surface and an image-side surface of the plastic lens element includes an effective optical portion and a peripheral portion. The effective optical portion is aspheric. The peripheral portion surrounds the effective optical portion, and includes a plurality of strip rib structures and a plurality of light absorbing coatings. Each of the strip rib structures has a strip shape along a radial direction of an optical axis of the plastic lens element, and the strip rib structures are arranged around the effective optical portion. The light absorbing coatings are coated on the strip rib structures respectively.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A photographing lens module, comprising a plurality of lens elements, wherein one of the lens elements is a plastic lens element, and at least one surface of an object-side surface and an image-side surface of the plastic lens element comprises:
an effective optical portion being aspheric; and
a peripheral portion surrounding the effective optical portion and comprising:
a plurality of annular rib structures surrounding the effective optical portion; and
a plurality of light absorbing coatings coated on the annular rib structures respectively.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The photographing lens module of claim 1, wherein the light absorbing coatings are made of black resin materials.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The photographing lens module of claim 1, wherein the peripheral portion further comprises a plurality of strip rib structures arranged around the effective optical portion and intersecting with at least one of the annular rib structures.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The photographing lens module of claim 3, wherein the strip rib structures are arranged as a plurality of stepped shapes along a circumferential direction of the plastic lens element.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The photographing lens module of claim 3, wherein a width of each of the strip rib structures is w, and the following condition is satisfied:
0.01 mm<w<0.12 mm.

### Claim 6 (depends on 3)

The photographing lens module of claim 3, wherein a number of the strip rib structures is n, and the following condition is satisfied:
90<n<720.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The photographing lens module of claim 1, wherein the light absorbing coatings are connected to each other for forming an annular shape.

### Claim 8 (depends on 3)

The photographing lens module of claim 3, wherein a number of the annular rib structure is at least two, and the annular rib structures and the strip rib structures are formed as a woven pattern.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The photographing lens module of claim 1, wherein a width of the annular rib structure is t, and the following condition is satisfied:
0.01 mm<t<0.12 mm.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The photographing lens module of claim 10, wherein the surface of the plastic lens element is the object-side surface and further comprises:
an object-side abutting area, wherein the annular rib structures are farther from the effective optical portion than the object-side abutting area from the effective optical portion.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The photographing lens module of claim 1, wherein at least one surface of each of the annular rib structures comprises a light diminishing surface.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The photographing lens module of claim 1, wherein the effective optical portion has a wavy shape.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The photographing lens module of claim 13, wherein a surface roughness of the light diminishing surface is Ra, and the following condition is satisfied:
0.1μm<Ra.

### Claim 15 (depends on 1)

The photographing lens module of claim 1, wherein the plastic lens element is the fourth lens element of the photographing lens module in order from an object side to an image side.

### Claim 16 (depends on 1)

An electronic device, comprising:
the photographing lens module of claim 1.
