ABSTRACT:
A flat-panel camera comprises a tapered transparent slab1,a prismatic sheet3for introducing light into one face of the slab at near the critical angle so that it is reflected along the slab towards the thick end, and a miniature camera2receiving light emerging from the thick end of the slab at an angle depending on where the light entered the slab. An image processor7eliminates distortion in the image such as gaps caused by the light missing the camera.
