Image capture apparatus
First Claim
1. An image capture apparatus, comprising:
- a transparent cover having a surface in contact with an environmental medium;
an image capture device, disposed at a side of the transparent cover opposite to the surface, wherein the image capture device includes a plurality of sensor regions, and each of the sensor regions has a maximum length in a first direction and a maximum width in a second direction; and
a luminous flux adjusting device, disposed between the transparent cover and the image capture device, wherein the luminous flux adjusting device includes at least one absorbing element defining a transparent pattern;
wherein, the transparent pattern includes a plurality of basic patterns which are repeatedly arranged, each of the basic patterns includes a plurality of transparent regions which are arranged according to a geometric shape, the geometric shape has a side parallel to the first direction, and a length of the side is less than or equal to the maximum length of the sensor region, and the geometric shape has a height vertical to the side and less than or equal to the maximum width of the sensor region.

Abstract
An image capture apparatus is provided. The image capture apparatus includes a transparent cover, an image capture device, and a luminous flux adjusting device disposed therebetween. The image capture device includes a plurality of sensor regions, each of which has a maximum length in a first direction and a maximum width in a second direction. The luminous flux adjusting device includes a absorbing element having a transparent pattern including a plurality of repeatedly arranged basic patterns. Each of the basic patterns includes a plurality of transparent regions arranged according to a geometric shape. The geometric shape has a side parallel to the first direction, and a length of the side is less than or equal to the maximum length of the sensor region. The geometric shape has a height in the second direction less than or equal to the maximum width of the sensor region.
