Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 8:
9. A mobile terminal, comprising a camera module, wherein
the camera module comprises a housing, a lens embedded on the housing, and at least one light-emitting component embedded on the housing; and
the housing has at least one light-transmitting region, a light-emitting component corresponds to a light-transmitting region, and light emitted by the light-emitting component is transmitted from the light-transmitting region; wherein
the light-emitting component comprises:
a light source disposed inside the housing; and
a light guide structure embedded on the housing, wherein light emitted by the light source is transmitted from the light-transmitting region through the light guide structure; wherein
the light-transmitting region comprises: a first light-transmitting portion on a first surface of the housing and a second light-transmitting portion on a second surface of the housing, wherein the first surface and the second surface are adjacent to each other;
the light guide structure comprises a first light-emitting surface facing the first light-transmitting portion, a second light-emitting surface facing the second light-transmitting portion, and a reflection surface disposed at a preset angle with the second light-emitting surface; wherein a portion of the light emitted by the light source is transmitted from the first light-transmitting portion through the first light-emitting surface, and another portion of the light is reflected to the second light-emitting surface by the reflection surface, and is transmitted from the second light-transmitting portion through the second light-emitting surface;
or
the light-transmitting region comprises: a first light-transmitting portion on a first surface of the housing and a second light-transmitting portion on a second surface of the housing, wherein the first surface and the second surface are opposite to each other;
the light guide structure comprises a first light-emitting surface facing the first light-transmitting portion, a first reflection surface disposed at a first preset angle with the first light-emitting surface, a second light-emitting surface facing the second light-transmitting portion, and a second reflection surface disposed at a second preset angle with the second light-emitting surface; wherein a portion of the light emitted by the light source is reflected to the first light-emitting surface by the first reflection surface, and is transmitted from the first light-transmitting portion through the first light-emitting surface, and the other portion is reflected to the second light-emitting surface by the second reflection surface, and is transmitted from the second light-transmitting portion through the second light-emitting surface.
