  • Publication number: 20190156096
    Abstract: An image capturing apparatus includes a light transmitting cover, a display panel, a Light guiding member, a light emitting element, and an image capturing element. The light transmitting cover has a surface in contact with the environmental medium. The light emitting element is disposed on one side of the Light guiding member. The sensing light beam is transmitted to the light penetrating portion in the first light guiding portion to be projected to the display area of the light transmitting cover, and a portion of the sensing light beam is totally reflected by the surface to form a signal beam that enters the second light guiding portion from the light penetrating portion. The image capturing element is disposed on the other side of the Light guiding member to receive the signal light beam that is transmitted in the second light guiding portion.
