1. A combined lens module comprising:
- a housing; and
a plurality of lenses deposited within the housing and stacked on one another, each of the lenses comprising a main lens element for passing visible light at the center zone of the corresponding lens and a plurality of associate lens elements for passing invisible light at the surrounding zone of the corresponding lens, so as to form a main lens module comprising the stacked plural main lens elements and surrounded by a plurality of associate lens modules comprising the stacked plural associate lens elements,wherein the main lens module has a main aperture and each of the associate lens modules has an associate aperture, and light data from the outside of the housing enters into the housing and then leaves the housing after passing through the main and associate lens modules.

Abstract
A combined lens module including plural lens modules deposited within a housing is provided. These lens modules include plural lenses and multiple apertures. Each lens has a main lens element for visible light and an associate lens element for invisible light. An image capturing-and-sensing assembly may be performed by equipping with such a combined lens module and a sensor for visible light and invisible light, which could have high-resolution and apply to a thin portable device or any environment in use of infrared structured lighting or light scanner for the applications of human-machine interactive.

15. A combined lens module comprising:
-
a housing; and a plurality of lenses deposited within the housing and stacked with one another, each of the lenses comprising a main lens element for passing visible light and a plurality of associate lens elements for passing invisible light, so as to form a main lens module comprising the stacked plural main lens elements and a plurality of associate lens modules comprising the stacked plural associate lens elements, wherein the main lens module has a main aperture and each of the associate lens modules has an associate aperture; the image circle of each of the associate apertures is smaller than the image circle of the main aperture; and light data from the outside of the housing enters into the housing and then leaves the housing after passing through the main and associate lens modules. - View Dependent Claims (16)
