操作系统)，才能够将显微摄影机所观察到的影像传送至显示器上。因此，即使使用者所在的环境中存在着显示器及显微摄影机，但倘若无任何计算机主机时，显微摄影机仍无法将所撷取到的影像传输至显示器上，将毫无用武之地。However, existing microscopic cameras all need to be matched with a host computer, and this host computer must have a specific operating system (such as Microsoft

company's

operating system) to transmit the image observed by the microscopic camera to the display. Therefore, even if there is a display and a microcamera in the user's environment, if there is no computer host, the microcamera still cannot transmit the captured images to the display, and will be useless.

It can be seen that there are still many inconveniences and limitations in the use of existing microscopic cameras.

Contents of the invention

In view of this, an object of the present invention is to provide a microscopic magnifying device for industrial application, which can play images captured by cameras without any computer host, so that the problems encountered in the prior art can be overcome.

One purpose of the present invention is to directly transmit the image captured by the camera to the display for playback without going through a computer host and a specific operating system.

Another object of the present invention is to make the display system have a mirror effect when there is no light or display images, and to present images smoothly when the display system displays images. Thereby, the microscopic magnifying device for industrial application of the present invention can not only be used to play the images captured by the camera, but also can be used as a mirror.

In order to achieve the above object, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a microscopic magnification device for industrial application includes a display, an embedded controller, semi-transparent lenses, and a microscopic camera. The display has a display panel. The embedded controller is embedded in the display and coupled to the display panel. Translucent mirror projections cover the display panel. The microscopic camera is connected to the embedded controller in communication, and the microscopic camera includes a lens, a signal transmission device and an image storage unit. The lens is used to capture an image. The signal transmission device is used to directly transmit the image captured by the lens to the embedded controller and enlarge it for display on the display panel. The image storage unit is used for storing images captured by the lens.

Through the above technical means, the embodiments of the present invention can directly transmit the images captured by the microscopic camera to the embedded controller in the display to be displayed on the display panel without going through the computer host. In addition, the microscopic camera can be provided with an image storage unit to store images or videos, and help to record the images captured by the microscopic camera. In addition, the above-mentioned embodiment also includes a semi-transparent lens whose projection covers the display panel. In this way, when the display panel does not emit light, since the brightness of the external environment is higher than that of the display panel, the semi-transparent lens can reflect the light of the external environment, thereby showing a mirror effect; relatively, when the display panel displays images, the light emitted by it The light will pass through the translucent lens, so that the viewer can smoothly watch the images played on the display panel. Therefore, the microscopic magnifying device for industrial application in the above embodiments can not only be used to play the images captured by the microscopic camera, but can also be used as a mirror.

The above description is only used to illustrate the problem to be solved by the present invention, the technical means for solving the problem, and the effects thereof.
