  • Publication number: 20240134168
    Abstract: An imaging lens assembly includes a first lens group for shooting at a short focal length, a second lens group for shooting at a long focal length, a third lens group for shooting at the short focal length and the long focal length, a first minor positioned between the first lens group and the third lens group; and a second mirror positioned between the second lens group and the third lens group. The first lens group and second lens group change its position in an optical axis direction between a shooting state and a lens storage state. The first minor or second mirror forms an optical path optically connecting a corresponding lens group and the third lens group. The first minor or second minor secure a storage space for the corresponding lens group.
