Searching for relevant public information, we found that in the list announced by the U.S. Trademark and Patent Office in February this year, Largan Optoelectronics obtained a patent for an imaging lens system that can improve optical performance. The system includes a plastic lens barrel made of black plastic material through injection molding. Its object-side surface is perpendicular to the optical axis, and its image-side surface is opposite to it. The inner annular portion of the barrel has at least one inner parallel annular surface with a diameter greater than p2 mm, while the outer annular portion has a first outer annular surface and at least three grid traces.
