Abstract
An image capturing device includes a base, a light sensing element, an image capturing lens, and multiple light sources. The light sensing element is disposed on the base. The image capturing lens is disposed above the light sensing element. The light sources are disposed on the base and arranged beside the image capturing lens. Each of the light sources emits a light beam. A chief ray direction of the light beam has a horizontal component and a vertical component. The horizontal component and the vertical component are both greater than zero.

An image capturing device, comprising:
- a base;
- a light sensing element disposed on the base;
- an image capturing lens disposed above the light sensing element;
- and
- a plurality of light sources disposed on the base and arranged beside the image capturing lens, wherein each of the light sources is configured to emit a light beam, a chief ray direction of the light beam has a horizontal component and a vertical component, and the horizontal component and the vertical component are both greater than zero,
- wherein an included angle between a connection line between the light source emitting the light beam and a center of the image capturing lens and the horizontal component is between 85 degrees and 95 degrees.
