Abstract

A fill light and an electronic device are provided. The fill light includes a first reflector, a second reflector, a light-transmitting ring, and a light-emitting light source. The first reflector and the light-transmitting ring are located on a same side of the second reflector, and the light-transmitting ring surrounds the first reflector. The first reflector has a first reflection surface, the second reflector has a second reflection surface, and the first reflection surface is disposed opposite to the second reflection surface. A light-emitting side of the light-emitting light source faces the first reflection surface, and light emitted by the light-emitting light source is emitted from the light-transmitting ring after being reflected by the first reflection surface and the second reflection surface. The first reflection surface, the second reflection surface, and the light-transmitting ring are all rotationally symmetrical about a central optical axis of the light-emitting light source.

Claims (48)
