Abstract:
An imaging device with a plurality of imaging units is provided. The imaging device includes a supporting substrate, a flexible substrate and a movable unit. The supporting substrate is formed with a hard material, and the flexible substrate includes a plurality of imaging units positioned at least in a width direction. The flexible substrate is fixed at a first edge portion with the supporting substrate, while an opposite second edge portion of the flexible substrate is connected with the movable unit. The movable unit moves the opposite second edge portion of the flexible substrate in the width direction and bends or flattens the flexible substrate. A degree of curvature at which the flexible substrate is bent may vary based on a distance by which the movable unit moves in the width direction, so that a field of view (FOV) of the plurality of imaging units may be adjusted.
