Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device includes at least one lens, an image sensor aligned along an optical axis from the at least one lens, and a reflective and refractive member disposed between the at least one lens and the image sensor on the optical axis. The reflective and refractive member includes an incident surface on which light passing through the at least one lens is incident, a first reflective surface inclined with respect to the incident surface, and a second reflective surface inclined with respect to the incident surface and spaced apart from the first reflective surface. First and second cutting planes are inclined with respect to the incident surface and face first and second directions, respectively.
