Abstract:
An imaging capable mobile terminal comprising:an imaging lens arrangement fixedly disposed in the mobile terminal, wherein the image lens arrangement has a focal length along a first optical path in a first direction, and wherein the focal length in the first direction is equal to a first value; a first optical component, disposed in the optical path, for intercepting and changing at least part of the first optical path to a second optical path in a second direction different from the first direction; and a second optical component, disposal in the second optical path, for changing the focal length of the image lens arrangement such that the focal length of the image lens arrangement in the second direction is equal to a second value different from the first value, said second optical component further comprising a close-up lens recessed from the surface in a wall of the terminal at a predetermined precise distance from said wall surface to provide the correct focus distance between an object surface carrying an object to be imaged and said wall surface in contact with the object surface for close-up imaging.
