  • Patent number: 7391465
    Abstract: An electronic device with a rotatable image capture device. The electronic device includes a body and an image capture module. The body includes a first surface, a second surface and a sleeve. The second surface is opposite the first surface. The image capture module is disposed in the body, and includes a rotary shaft and a charge-coupled device. The image capture module rotates among a first position, a second position, a third position, and a fourth position. The rotary shaft is disposed in the sleeve in a manner such that it can move between a fifth position and a sixth position. When the rotary shaft moves between the fifth position and the sixth position, the image capture module can rotate through the first position, the second position, the third position, and the fourth position.
