Abstract

A photographic and projection device includes an image sensor, a lens assembly, a movable reflective mirror, and a display panel. The movable mirror has a reflective surface, and the movable mirror is disposed between the lens assembly and the image sensor. The display panel is located towards the reflective surface of the movable reflective mirror. When the movable mirror is located in a first position an external image can be formed on the image sensor by the lens assembly, and when the movable mirror is located in a second position the image of the display panel can be projected to the outside by the movable mirror and the lens assembly.

Claims

1. A photographic and projection device, comprising:

an image sensor;

a lens assembly, said lens assembly comprising at least one lens;

a movable reflective mirror, said movable mirror having a reflective surface, said movable mirror being disposed between said lens assembly and said image sensor, wherein said movable mirror is capable of changing position between a first position and a second position; and

a display panel, said display panel being located towards said reflective surface of said movable reflective mirror, wherein when said movable mirror is located in said first position an external image can be formed on said image sensor by said lens assembly, and when said movable mirror is located in said second position the image of said display panel can be projected to the outside by said movable mirror and said lens assembly.

2. The photographic and projection device according to claim 1, wherein said movable mirror changes position between said first position and said second position by rotation.

3. The photographic and projection device according to claim 1, wherein said movable mirror changes position between said first position and said second position by movement.

4. The photographic and projection device according to claim 1, wherein said image sensor comprises a CCD image sensor.

5. The photographic and projection device according to claim 1, wherein said display panel is a LCD panel.

6. The photographic and projection device according to claim 5, wherein said LCD panel is a reflection-type LCD panel.

7. The photographic and projection device according to claim 6, wherein said reflection-type LCD panel has at least one light source.

8. The photographic and projection device according to claim 7, wherein said light source is a LED light source.

9. The photographic and projection device according to claim 1, wherein said photographic and projection device is a compact digital camera with folding optics.

10. A photographic and projection module, comprising:

an image sensor;

a lens assembly, said lens assembly comprising at least one lens;

a movable reflective mirror, said movable mirror having a reflective surface, said movable mirror being disposed between said lens assembly and said image sensor, wherein said movable mirror is capable of changing position between a first position and a second position; and

a display panel, said display panel being located towards said reflective surface of said movable reflective mirror, wherein when said movable mirror is located in said first position an external image can be formed on said image sensor by said lens assembly, and when said movable mirror is located in said second position the image of said display panel can be projected to the outside by said movable mirror and said lens assembly.

11. The photographic and projection module according to claim 10, wherein said movable mirror changes position between said first position and said second position by rotation.

12. The photographic and projection module according to claim 10, wherein said movable mirror changes position between said first position and said second position by movement.

13. The photographic and projection module according to claim 10, wherein said image sensor comprises a CCD image sensor.

14. The photographic and projection module according to claim 10, wherein said display panel is a LCD panel.
