Patent attributes
Disclosed are a camera and an image display apparatus including the same. The camera according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a first optical structure configured to refract and reflect a first input beam to output a second beam with a width smaller than a width of the first input beam; and a second optical structure configured to refract and reflect the second beam from the first optical structure to output a third beam with a width greater than the width of the second beam, wherein the first optical structure comprises a first reflection surface configured to reflect the first input beam, and wherein a first angle between the first reflection surface and the second beam and a second angle between an orthogonal surface orthogonal to the first input beam and the first reflection surface are each greater than 0° and smaller than 45°. Accordingly, a thickness of the camera may be reduced.
