Abstract

A camera device is provided. The camera device includes a camera module in which a lens assembly is disposed and a camera window provided on a surface of the camera module, and including a projection part inclined by a predetermined angle in relation to the camera module and coupled to the camera module. The projection part may comprise a size corresponding to an angle of view of the camera module.

Claims (35)

1. A wearable electronic device comprising:

a body of the wearable electronic device;

a display device provided with the body;

an inclined part bent from the body, provided to be inclined on the body, forming an opening, and comprising:

a camera module disposed inside the inclined part; and

a camera window provided on the opening to cover the camera module,

wherein the camera window is provided with the wearable electronic device, the camera window including a transparent projection part corresponding to an angle of view (AOV) of the camera module and an opaque bezel around the transparent projection part, and

wherein a shape of the transparent projection part is configured to reduce stray light or light reflection that reaches the camera module.

2. The wearable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the transparent projection part comprises a shape selected from one of a circular shape, a rectangular shape, or a trapezoidal shape.

3. The wearable electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising a shielding member disposed between the camera window and the camera module,

wherein the shielding member comprises a shape corresponding to the AOV and passes therethrough an image to the camera module.

4. The wearable electronic device of claim of claim 3 , wherein the shielding member comprises one of a silicon material or a polycarbonate material.

5. A wearable electronic device comprising:

a body of the wearable electronic device configured to be connected a wrist band;

a display device provided with the body;

an inclined part bent from the body, provided to be inclined on the body, forming an opening, and comprising:

a camera module disposed inside the inclined part and provided with a lens assembly,

a camera window provided on the opening, and positioned in a direction of the camera module to be inclined by a predetermined angle,

a projection part formed on the camera window and having a size corresponding to an angle of view (AOV) of the camera module,

a shielding member disposed between the camera window and the camera module, and

a cavity disposed in the shielding member and comprising an AOV shape so that one side of the cavity corresponds to the projection part and an other side of the cavity corresponds to a lens opening of the lens assembly,

wherein a shape of the projection part is configured to reduce stray light or light reflection that reaches the camera module.

6. The wearable electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the projection part comprises a trapezoidal shape.

7. The wearable electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the shielding member includes:

a body portion that encloses the camera module; and

a protrusion protruding from a front surface of the body portion, and adapted to be mounted to an inner surface of the camera window, the cavity being disposed in the protrusion.

8. The wearable electronic device of claim 7 ,

wherein the protrusion is mounted to a periphery of a rear surface of the projection part, and

wherein a protrusion length of a bottom surface of the protrusion is longer than a protrusion length of a top surface of the protrusion so that the protrusion is provided to have a length varied between the camera window and the body portion.

9. The wearable electronic device of claim 8 ,

wherein the cavity is disposed between the projection part and the lens opening,

wherein a protrusion length of a lower inner surface of the cavity is longer than a protrusion length of an upper inner surface of the cavity so that the cavity is provided to have a length varied between the camera window and the body portion, and

wherein a front side of the cavity comprises a size corresponding to that of the projection part, and a rear side of the cavity comprises a size corresponding to that of the lens opening.

10. The wearable electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the cavity comprises a truncated pyramid shape.

11. The wearable electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the shielding member includes at least one of a silicon member or a poly carbonate member.
