Abstract:
1. An image-capturing module comprising: a first substrate unit; an image-capturing unit including an image-capturing element disposed on the first substrate unit and electrically connected to the first substrate unit; an optical imaging unit disposed on the first substrate unit to cover the image-capturing unit, wherein the optical imaging unit has at least one first inclined surface formed on an outer surface thereof and at least one reflective layer disposed on the at least one first inclined surface; a cover unit disposed on the first substrate unit to cover the optical imaging unit, wherein the cover unit includes a light-transmitting element disposed above the optical imaging unit, and the cover unit has at least one second inclined surface formed on an inner surface thereof; a second substrate unit disposed on the at least one second inclined surface of the cover unit and electrically connected to the first substrate unit; and a light-emitting unit including at least one light-emitting element disposed on the second substrate unit and electrically connected to the second substrate unit for generating light beams; wherein an object is disposed on the light-transmitting element, the light beams generated by the at least one light-emitting element are projected onto the at least one reflective layer and reflected by the at least one reflective layer to form first reflected light beams, the first reflected light beams are projected onto the object through the light-transmitting element and reflected by the object to form second reflected light beams, and then the second reflected light beams are projected onto the image-capturing element through the optical imaging unit.
