Patent ID: 8629388

Claim:
A 3D image capturing device, comprising: a first lens module having a first optical axis associated therewith; a second lens module juxtaposed with the first lens module, the second lens module having a second optical axis associated therewith, the second optical axis being parallel with the first optical axis, and the first and second optical axes being parallel with the image sensor; an image sensor; a cross dichroic prism; a first mirror; and a second mirror, the first and second mirrors arranged at opposite sides of the cross dichroic prism, the first and second mirrors configured for reflecting and directing light beams from the first and second lens modules to the cross dichroic prism, the cross dichroic prism configured to redirect the reflected light beams from the first and second mirrors to the image sensor, wherein the first lens module comprises a first lens module mirror obliquely oriented relative to the first optical axis and configured for reflecting and directing light beams from an object side to the first mirror; and the second lens module comprises a second lens module mirror obliquely oriented relative to the second optical axis and configured for reflecting and directing light beams from the object side to the second mirror.
