Integrated lens assembly

Abstract

An integrated lens assembly is provided, including: 1) a casing having an opening; 2) a lens having a forward end received in the opening of the casing; 3) a lens protection device embedded in the casing via the opening to encapsulate the forward end of the lens, wherein the lens protection device partially protrudes from the casing; 4) an image processing unit optically connected to the lens for electrically acquiring images; 5) and a power source electrically connected to the image processing unit to supply power to the image processing unit for operating the image processing unit. The forward end of the lens can be flush or protrude from with the casing. The above integrated lens assembly reduces a prior-art gap between the lens and the lens protection device, thereby facilitating miniaturization of the integrated lens assembly.
