Abstract
A camera module includes a lens module having a first optical path; an optical path converting component configured to reflect or refract light incident on a second optical path and a third optical path, intersecting the first optical path, to the lens module; a light-blocking member connected to the optical path converting component and configured to block light incident along the second optical path or the third optical path.
Claims20
A camera module, comprising:
- a lens module having a first optical path;
- an optical path converting component configured to reflect or refract light incident on a second optical path and a third optical path, intersecting the first optical path, to the lens module;
- and
- a light-blocking member connected to the optical path converting component and configured to block light incident along the second optical path or the third optical path.
1 more element
A camera module, comprising:
- a lens module having a first optical path;
- an optical path converting component rotatable to change direction of light incident on a second optical path and a third optical path to the first optical path of the lens module;
- and
- a light-blocking member connected to the optical path converting component to selectively block the light incident on the second optical path and the third optical path in response to rotation of the optical path converting component.
1 more element
A portable terminal, comprising:
- a front surface and a rear surface;
- a lens module disposed between the front surface and the rear surface and having an optical path;
- an optical path converting component configured to rotate to change direction of light incident to the front surface and light incident to the rear surface to the optical path of the lens module;
- and
- a light-blocking member connected to the optical path converting component to selectively block the light incident to the front surface and the light incident to the rear surface.
