  • Publication number: 20240284025
    Abstract: There is provided an optical engine for a navigation device including a first light source, a second light source, a lens, a carrier member and an image sensor. The carrier member has a light holder, a lens holder, an accommodation space and a tilted wall. The first light source is arranged on the light holder of the carrier member, and reflected light associated with the first light source penetrates through the lens to propagate to the image sensor inside the accommodation space. Reflected light associated with the second light source penetrates through the tilted wall of the carrier member to propagate to the image sensor.

  • Publication number: 20210038073
    Abstract: An eye tracking apparatus and an image capture module thereof for capturing an iris image are provided. The image capture module includes a carrier, a light source and an image sensing unit. The light source and the image sensing unit are both disposed on the carrier and fastened ahead of the eye by carrier. The light source emits a light beam to the eye, and the image sensing unit receives the light beam reflected from the eye to capture the iris image. The light source and the image sensing unit are arranged at two different sides of a longitudinal reference plane.

  • Patent number: 9588597
    Abstract: An optical pointing device for detecting the direction of the user's finger is provided. The optical pointing device comprises a cover, a light source and a sensor. The cover comprises a press portion with a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, as well as a side wall extending downwards from the periphery of the second surface. The light source projects a main beam onto the press portion of the cover. The main beam then forms a first beam passing through the press portion and a second beam reflected by the second surface. The sensor is adapted to receive the second beam reflected by the second surface, and detect the second beam by an algorithm to output the first displacement position. In addition, the light source and the sensor are covered by the cover, while the side wall is a flexible side wall.

  • Patent number: 9348071
    Abstract: There is provided a miniaturized optical system including a protection cover, a light source, an image sensor and at least one interference film. The protection cover has a first surface and a second surface. The light source and the image sensor are disposed opposite to the first surface of the protection cover. The interference film is disposed between the light source and the protection cover to allow the light source to form a predetermined light shape in front of the second surface of the protection cover and/or disposed between the image sensor and the protection cover to allow the image sensor to receive light of a predetermined range in front of the second surface of the protection cover.

  • Publication number: 20140354953
    Abstract: An optical assembly includes a light source and a beam splitter. The light source is used for emitting an incident beam. The beam splitter is used for dividing the incident beam into a plurality of outgoing beams. The incident beam and the outgoing beam are both invisible light. The outgoing beams enter an eyeball and form a plurality of glints on the eyeball. The glints are formed on the region outside the pupil.
