Abstract
An exemplary optical lens (24) is provided for a camera module (20). The optical lens includes a lens portion (242) and a mounting portion (243). The lens portion is located at a center of the mounting portion. The lens portion is configured for refracting a first portion of image light incident on the lens portion. The mounting portion has a light deflecting part (246). The light deflecting part is formed around the lens portion for deflecting a second portion of image light incident on the mounting portion away from an axis of the lens portion.
Claims13
A camera module comprising:
- a body, the body being a hollow cylinder in shape and having a half-closed end, the half-closed end defining a Y-shaped hole thereby forming a conical sidewall and a cylindrical sidewall;
- an optical lens received in the body, the optical lens comprising:
- a lens portion configured for refracting a first portion of image light incident on the lens portion;
- and
- a mounting portion having a light deflecting part, the lens portion being located at a center of the mounting portion, and the light deflecting part being formed around the lens portion;
- and
- an image sensor module received in the body, the first portion of image light being refracted by the optical lens to the image sensor module, and a second portion of image light incident on the mounting portion being deflected away from the image sensor module by the light deflecting part.

A camera module comprising:
- a body having a half-closed end, the half-closed end defining a hole thereby forming an inner cylindrical sidewall;
- an optical lens received in the body, the optical lens comprising:
- a lens portion configured for refracting a first portion of image light incident on the lens portion;
- and
- a mounting portion having a groove defined at a surface of the mounting portion adjacent to the lens portion thereby forming a sidewall, the sidewall of the being a ring in shape and having a bottom end and a top end, and a diameter of the cylindrical sidewall is substantially equal to a diameter of a circle defined by the top end;
- and
- an image sensor module received in the body, the first portion of image light being refracted by the optical lens to the image sensor module, and a second portion of image light incident on the mounting portion being deflected away from the image sensor module by the sidewall of the groove.
