Problems solved by technology

[0003] Since the mirror and the shading member need to be connected to each other in the imaging device disclosed in the aforementioned publication, the imaging device will become complicated
In addition, in order to allow the movement of the mirror and the light-shielding member, a certain space needs to be secured, which makes it difficult to reduce the body of the imaging device

Embodiment Construction

[0039] A mobile phone (portable phone) 10 equipped with an outward-facing camera (main camera) and an inward-facing camera (sub-camera) shown in FIGS. The folding case also has a hinge 15 between the operating part 12 and the display part 14 . The operating part 12 and the display part 14 are hinged to each other by the hinge 15 to rotate relative to each other about the axis of the hinge 15, so that the mobile phone 10 can be in the operating state (fully opened state / unfolded state) and the folded state shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 (not shown), in the operating state, the operating portion 12 and the display portion 14 are fully opened, and in the folded state, the mobile phone 10 is folded such that the operating portion 12 and the display portion 14 overlap each other. The operation section 12 has a plurality of operation keys 11 (such as numeric keys) and other keys (such as function keys), and the display section 14 has a liquid crystal display (LCD) 13 as a display device. T...

Abstract

An imaging device includes a housing including a first photographing aperture and a second photographing aperture which are open toward opposite directions; at least one image pickup device and an image processing circuit for processing signals output from the image pickup device, the image pickup device and the image processing circuit being positioned within the housing and lie in a plane including the first photographing aperture; a first optical system having a bent optical path for forming an image of light incident from the first photographing aperture on an imaging surface of the image pickup device, the bent optical path being defined by a plurality of reflecting surfaces of the first optical system; and a second optical system having a linear optical path for forming an image of light incident from the second photographing aperture on the imaging surface of the image pickup device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an imaging device, and more particularly to an imaging device incorporated in a mobile electronic device, such as a mobile phone. Background technique [0002] In recent years, mobile electronic devices (such as mobile phones) with inward-facing cameras (sub-camera) and outward-facing cameras (main-camera) have been widely used. The outward-facing camera is used to capture still images or video clips of general objects, while the inward-facing camera is used to capture still images or video clips of the user himself, such as in a video conference. In this type of mobile electronic device, since more than one camera is installed in its body, it is desirable to avoid an increase in the size and manufacturing cost of the device. For example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2007-116361 proposes an imaging device that is configured to perform between outward image capturing and inward image capturing through conn...
