  • Publication number: 20260110873
    Abstract: A lens assembly includes a lens including an optical portion refracting light, and a flange portion extending along a periphery of the optical portion, a spacer in contact with the flange portion in an optical axis direction, and a lens barrel accommodating the lens and the spacer. A distance from an optical axis to a contact point between the flange portion and the spacer is less than a maximum radius of the optical portion. The periphery of the optical portion includes an edge portion and a connection portion. In a cross-sectional view passing through the optical axis and the connection portion, the lens is spaced apart from the spacer.
