The embodiment of the invention discloses an imaging mechanism and a terminal, belonging to the technical field of photographic equipment, wherein the imaging mechanism and the terminal both comprise a
glass cover plate and a camera, one side face of the
glass cover plate protrudes outwards to form a first cambered surface, the other side face of the
glass cover plate is opposite to the camera, the glass cover plate is provided with a thickness difference
elimination structure at a part opposite to the camera, and the thickness difference
elimination structure is used for reducing thickness difference between the two side faces of the glass cover plate; in conclusion, in the imaging mechanism and the terminal provided by the invention, thickness difference between the two side faces of the glass cover plate is reduced through the thickness difference
elimination structure, consequently, thickness of the glass cover plate tends to be uniform, and therefore,
refraction generated by light passing through the glass cover plate naturally also tends to be same, namely,
phase error generated by the camera is reduced, definition of photographed images is guaranteed to be consistent, and a situation of focusing failure is also avoided.
