Abstract
A handheld device for capturing image is provided, where a micro flat panel display serves as a viewfinder for capturing image as well as a display for displaying image, so that size and power consumption of the device are both significantly reduced. A structure with a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector configures the device to directly hookup a USB interface of a computer, thus neither a cable nor an external stand is required for connection purpose. On the other hand, it is quite handy for a user to charge the device through USB as the device transmits data to a computer via direct connection.
