A lens assembly comprising:
- a plurality of lenses spaced apart from each other along an optical axis;
- and
- a first spacer disposed along the optical axis between any two lenses of the plurality of lenses,
- wherein the first spacer comprises:
- a body portion comprising an opening enabling light to travel between the two lenses;
- and
- an extension portion protruding from one surface of the body portion and extending toward one lens of the two lenses, the one lens being either one of the two lenses,
- the one surface of the body portion is spaced apart from the one lens, and
- the extension portion contacts and supports the one lens.
A lens assembly comprising:
- a first lens;
- a second lens spaced apart from the first lens along an optical axis;
- and
- a spacer disposed between along the optical axis the first lens and the second lens,
- wherein each of the first lens, the second lens, and the spacer has a non-circular shape when viewed in a direction of the optical axis, a first axis intersecting the optical axis and perpendicular to the optical axis, and a second axis intersecting the optical axis and perpendicular to the optical axis and the first axis, a length of the first axis being greater than a length of the second axis,
- the spacer comprises:
- a body portion comprising an opening enabling light to travel between the first lens and the second lens;
- and
- a first extension portion protruding from one surface of the body portion and extending toward the first lens,
- the one surface of the body portion is spaced apart from the first lens, and
- the first extension portion contacts and supports the first lens.
