Patent number: 10473300Abstract: A light source assembly comprises a base body and at least one light source module. The base body comprises a first and a second bearing base connected to each other. The first bearing base is configured for an image capture module to be disposed thereon. The second bearing base is located on the periphery of the first bearing base. The at least one light source module is slidably disposed on the second bearing base, and movable toward and away from the first bearing base. The at least one light source module forms an adjustable space. The adjustable space is configured for receiving the image capture module. The first bearing base has a first bearing surface configured for the image capture module to be disposed thereon. A sliding direction of the at least one light source module is not parallel to a normal direction of the first bearing surface.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2017Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: VIVOTEK INC.Inventors: Li-Shan Shih, Wen-Yuan Li, Yuan-Han Chang
