20110096417 | LENS ARRANGEMENT AND RELATED LENS MODULE - A lens arrangement includes two lenses. Each lens includes an imaging portion having an optical axis, a non-imaging portion surrounding the imaging portion, and an annular engagement portion extending outwards from the non-imaging portion along the optical axis. The engagement portions are interferentially engaged with each other. The diameter difference of the engagement portion is greatly smaller than the dimension of the lens to ensure that the engagement portions efficiently and sufficiently deforms while the deformation of the engagement portion is not transmitted to the imaging portion. | 04-28-2011 |
20110096418 | LENS ARRANGEMENT AND LENS MODULE USING SAME - A lens arrangement includes two lenses. Each lens includes an optical portion having an optical axis, a non-optical portion surrounding the optical portion, and an engagement portion extending along and inclining relative to the optical axis from the non-optical portion. The engagement portions of the lenses are engaged with each other and an included angle is defined between the engagement portions. One of the lenses includes an elastic element which can be flexibly deformed relative to the other lens. | 04-28-2011 |
