  • Patent number: 11086099
    Abstract: A light-folding camera includes a light folding device, a light path control device LPC, a first sensor and a second sensor. The light folding device outputs a folded light propagating in a first horizontal direction substantially perpendicular to a vertical direction by changing a light path of a vertical light that is incident on the light folding device in the vertical direction. The light path control device outputs a first light propagating in the first horizontal direction by passing at least a first portion of the folded light, or outputs a second light propagating in a second horizontal direction substantially perpendicular to the vertical direction by changing a light path of at least a second portion of the folded light. The first sensor receives the first light propagating in the first horizontal direction. The second sensor receives the second light propagating in the second horizontal direction.
