  • Publication number: 20250106493
    Abstract: An imaging lens includes a light blocking sheet that includes an inner ring surface, a plurality of tapered light blocking structures, and a nanostructure layer. The inner ring surface surrounds an optical axis and defines a light passage opening. The tapered light blocking structures are disposed on the inner ring surface, and each tapered light blocking structure protrudes from the inner ring surface and tapers off towards the optical axis. The tapered light blocking structures are periodically arranged to surround the optical axis. The contour of each tapered light blocking structure has a curved part in a view along the optical axis. The curved part forms a curved surface on the inner ring surface. The nanostructure layer is disposed on the curved surface and has a plurality of ridge-like protrusions that extend non-directionally, and the average structure height of the nanostructure layer ranges from 98 nanometers to 350 nanometers.
