Abstract
A lens module (8) includes a housing (10) and a plurality of lenses (21, 22, and 23). The lenses are received in the housing. Each lens has a protrusion (213, 223, and 233) and a hole (214, 224, and 234). The protrusion of a given lens is received in the corresponding hole of an adjacent lens, thereby integrating (i.e., mechanically coupling) the lenses together. Therefore, all the lenses are arranged coaxially.
