Abstract

A structured light projector including a light source, an irradiation range controlling device, and a diffractive optical element is provided. The irradiation range controlling device is disposed on a transmission path of a light beam from the light source. The diffractive optical element is disposed on a transmission path of the light beam from the irradiation range controlling device. The irradiation range controlling device is adapted to control an irradiation range of the light beam transmitted to the diffractive optical element so as to change a size of a region of the diffractive optical element illuminated by the light beam from the irradiation range controlling device. A three-dimensional image sensing module using the same is also provided.
