Abstract

An illumination device for a video presenter includes a light source and an optical lens. The light source radiates light beams incident on a stage where an object to be photographed is placed and arranged inclined at an acute angle with respect to a surface of the stage. The optical lens is arranged between the light source and the stage and inclined to be more parallel to the stage than the light source.

Claims (24)

1. An illumination device for a video presenter, the illumination device comprising:

a light source radiating light beams incident on a stage where an object to be photographed is placed and the light source is arranged inclined at an acute angle with respect to a surface of the stage; and

an optical lens arranged between the light source and the stage and inclined to be more parallel to the surface of the stage than if aligned with the axis of the light source.

2. The illumination device for a video presenter of claim 1 , wherein the light source includes a light emitting diode (LED).

3. The illumination device for a video presenter of claim 1 , wherein the optical lens is a convex lens.

4. The illumination device for a video presenter of claim 1 , wherein the light source and the optical lens are arranged outside a space defined by an edge of the stage.

5. The illumination device for a video presenter of claim 1 , wherein the optical lens is arranged in a manner that the light beams passing through the optical lens are radiated throughout an substantially an overall surface of the stage at a substantially uniform density.

6. The illumination device for a video presenter of claim 1 , further comprising a distance adjustment unit adjusting a separation distance between the light source and the optical lens in the direction that the light source directs.

7. A video presenter comprising:

a stage where an object to be photographed is placed;

a light source radiating light beams incident on the stage and arranged inclined at an acute angle with respect to a surface of the stage;

an optical lens arranged between the light source and the stage and the optical lens is inclined to be more parallel to the stage than if aligned with the axis of the light source; and

a photographing unit for photographing the object.

8. The video presenter of claim 7 , wherein the light source and the optical lens are arranged outside a space defined by an edge of the stage, and the photographing unit is arranged inside a space defined by the edge of the stage.

9. The video presenter of claim 8 , wherein at least a part of an illumination device having the light source and the optical lens are arranged outside an area A and an area B, wherein the area A is an area within a range of a photographing angle of the photographing unit and an area B is an area in which the light source is arranged such that a light beam output from the light source and reflected by an object that is substantially planar with a high reflectance and placed on the stage is incident on the photographing unit.

10. The video presenter of claim 7 , wherein the acute angle is determined in a manner such that a light beam of the light source reflected from an object that is substantially planar with a high reflectance and placed on the stage is not directly incident on the photographing unit.

11. The video presenter of claim 7 , wherein the optical lens is arranged in a manner that the light beams passing through the optical lens are radiated throughout an overall surface of the stage at a substantially uniform density.

12. The video presenter of claim 7 , further comprising a distance adjustment unit adjusting a separation distance between the light source and the optical lens in the direction that the light source directs.

13. The video presenter of claim 7 , wherein the light source and the optical lens are symmetrically arranged with respect to the photographing unit.

14. The video presenter of claim 7 , wherein a surface of the stage is rectangular or circular.

15. The video presenter of claim 7 , further comprising a mask arranged between the optical lens and the stage.

16. An illumination device for a video presenter, the illumination device comprising:

a light source radiating light beams incident on a stage where an object to be photographed is placed and arranged inclined at an acute angle with respect to a surface of the stage; and

an optical lens arranged between the light source and the stage and forming a path of the light beam such that an illumination area formed by the light beam output from the light source is not substantially deviated from a surface of the stage and radiated at a substantially uniform density on the surface of the stage.
