Image capture apparatus
First Claim
1. An image capture apparatus comprising:
- a light transmitting cover with a surface in contact with an environmental medium, wherein the surface has a display area;
a display panel disposed under the light transmitting cover and corresponding to the display area;
a light guiding member disposed between the display panel and the light transmitting cover, wherein the light guiding member is divided into a first light guiding portion, a second light guiding portion and a light penetrating portion;
the display area overlaps the light penetrating portion in a vertical direction, and the first light guiding portion and the second light guiding portion are respectively located at opposite sides of the light penetrating portion; and
a light emitting element disposed on one side of the Light guiding member and configured to generate a sensing light beam entering the first light guiding portion, wherein the sensing light beam is transmitted to the light penetrating portion in the first light guiding portion to be projected to the display area of the light transmitting cover, and a portion of the sensing light beam is totally reflected by the surface to form a signal light beam entering the second light guiding portion by the light penetrating portion; and
an image capturing element disposed on the other side of the light guiding member to receive the signal light beam that is transmitted in the second light guiding portion.

Abstract
An image capturing apparatus includes a light transmitting cover, a display panel, a Light guiding member, a light emitting element, and an image capturing element. The light transmitting cover has a surface in contact with the environmental medium. The light emitting element is disposed on one side of the Light guiding member. The sensing light beam is transmitted to the light penetrating portion in the first light guiding portion to be projected to the display area of the light transmitting cover, and a portion of the sensing light beam is totally reflected by the surface to form a signal beam that enters the second light guiding portion from the light penetrating portion. The image capturing element is disposed on the other side of the Light guiding member to receive the signal light beam that is transmitted in the second light guiding portion.

10. An image capture apparatus, comprising:
-
a light transmitting cover with a surface in contact with an environmental medium, wherein the surface has a display area; a display panel disposed under the light transmitting cover and corresponding to the display area, and including at least a first substrate with an upper surface facing the light transmitting cover and a lower surface opposite to the upper surface and a second substrate coupled to the first substrate; a first reflecting layer disposed on the upper surface and having an opening; a second reflecting layer disposed on the lower surface, wherein the first reflecting layer and the second reflecting layer at least partially overlap in a thickness direction of the first substrate; a light emitting element disposed on one side of the display panel to generate a sensing light beam entering the first substrate, wherein the sensing light beam is transmitted to the opening through the first reflecting layer and the second reflecting layer and projected onto the light transmitting cover, and a portion of the sensing light beam is totally reflected by the surface so as to form a signal light beam; and an image capturing element disposed on the other side of the display panel to receive the signal beam. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
