  • Patent number: 10719952
    Abstract: A thin plate imaging device in accordance with the present invention comprises a guide light plate, at least an imaging unit, at least a photosensitive unit and at least a reflection lens; the guide light plate and the imaging unit are utilized to allow lights to conduct total internal reflection or reflection propagation in one dimension, the photosensitive unit is placed in the path of the total internal reflection or reflection propagation and disposed at the image focus position of the imaging unit; clear images can be obtained without moving the imaging unit or the photosensitive unit back and forth, and objects with different object distances can be imaged on different spots of the photosensitive unit such that relative distances of the objects can be determined by image signals obtained via the photosensitive unit directly.
    Type: Grant
