Abstract:
A light-adjustment module for camera includes a light source unit and a light-adjustment unit. The light source unit includes light-emitting elements disposed around a lens of the camera, and the light-emitting direction of each light-emitting element is parallel to the image-capturing direction of the lens. The light-adjustment unit is disposed above the light source unit and includes secondary optical elements respectively corresponding to the light-emitting elements. Each secondary optical element includes a light-transmitting cover, and each light-emitting element is accommodated inside the corresponding light-transmitting cover. An inner wall of each light-transmitting cover includes a first light-guiding inclined surface and a second light-guiding inclined surface. A first slope of the first light-guiding inclined surface is different from a second slope of the second light-guiding inclined surface. A light emitted by each light-emitting element is deflected through the corresponding first light-guiding inclined surface and the corresponding second light-guiding inclined surface.
