IMAGE CAPTURE DEVICE
First Claim
1. An image capture device comprisinga housing comprising a body, a first lens barrel, and a second lens barrel, wherein the first lens barrel and the second lens barrel are inter-connected with the body;
- a first lens unit disposed within the first lens barrel of the housing, wherein the first lens unit comprises a first switchable light valve so as to allow a first image light to pass through the first lens unit;
a second lens unit disposed within the second lens barrel of the housing, wherein the second lens unit comprises a second switchable light valve so as to allow a second image light to pass through the second lens unit;
an image sensing element disposed within the body; and
a beam splitter disposed on at least one of a light path of the first image light and a light path of the second image light so as to allow the image sensing element to receive the first image light and the second image light, wherein the first switchable light valve and the second switchable light valve present a transparent state at different timings.

Abstract
An image capture device including a housing, a first lens unit, a second lens unit, an image sensing element, and a beam spliter is provided. The housing includes a body, a first lens barrel, and a second lens barrel. The first lens unit is disposed within the first lens barrel and includes a first switchable light valve. The second lens unit is disposed within the second lens barrel and includes a second switchable light valve. The image sensing element faces to the first lens unit. The beam spliter is configured in front of the image sensing element so that the image sensing element is able to receive a first image light passing through the first lens unit and a second image light passing through the second lens unit. The first switchable light valve and the second switchable light valve present a transparent state at different timings.
