FIELD: physics.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a lens assembly, a method of making a lens assembly, a camera module and an electronic image capturing device. Technical result is reduction of dimensions of the lens assembly. Result is achieved by the fact that lens assembly comprises a lens holder comprising a wall of the holder and a retaining groove surrounded and formed by the wall of the holder; and a group of lenses clamped and fixed in the retaining groove, wherein the end of the group of lenses on which the external light falls protrudes from the end surface of the wall of the holder. In the present invention, the end of the group of lenses on which the external light falls protrudes from the end surface of the wall of the lens holder, that is the outer end of the group of lenses is not surrounded by the wall of the holder.
EFFECT: thus, compared to the case where the group of lenses is completely enclosed in the lens holder, the volume of the end of the lens holder can be reduced, which is beneficial for miniaturization of the lens assembly; especially when lens assembly is used as front camera of electronic device, size of the hole in the electronic device screen assembly, through which the lens assembly passes, can be reduced, which improves the ratio of the screen size to the housing size.
