Abstract
An electronic device including an optical system that combines a first lens and a second lens by means of a beam splitter.
Claims11
An electronic device comprising:
- a first image sensor;
- a second image sensor;
- an optical system including a first lens placed before the first image sensor, a second lens placed before the second image sensor, and a beam-splitter;
- a housing including the first image sensor, the second image sensor, and the optical system, wherein
- the first lens and the second lens have a coincident optical axis at a side of the beam-splitter which receives incident light from a light entrance in the housing,
- an optical axis of the first lens is folded by less than or equal to 90 degrees by a surface of the beam-splitter,
- the beam-splitter is placed adjacent to the light entrance in the housing, and the incident light first hits the beam-splitter when the incident light enters the housing from the light entrance,
- the light entrance is extending parallel to a wall of the housing,
- the second lens and the second image sensor are extending parallel to the light entrance, and
- the first lens and the first image sensor are tilted with respect to the coincident optical axis.
