Abstract
Between a display of a videophone apparatus and a cover thereof, there are disposed lenses 114, 116, 118 and a half mirror, having sufficiently small areas as compared to the surface areas of the display and the cover. The half mirror enables light from the display to transmit to the cover, and reflects light from the outside, so as to lead to a camera. The camera is disposed at a position at which the light reflected by the half mirror can be imaged. Lenses 114, 116 are disposed in opposite positions sandwiching the half mirror. Light from the display passes through lens 114, transmits through the half mirror, and further, passes through lens 116, so as to be led to the cover. Also, light from the cover passes through lens 116, and is reflected by the half mirror, and then passing through lens 118, so as to be led to the camera.
