20080316344 | IMAGE PICKUP ELEMENT MODULE, AND LENS UNIT AND PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE USING IMAGE PICKUP ELEMENT MODULES - In an image pickup element module, a heat releasing member disposed to be thermally coupled to an FPC substrate and an image pickup element is formed of a PPS resin material having good thermal conductivity. Further, this image pickup element module is configured so that a phase-changing heat storage which is insert-molded or formed into a sheet shape is disposed to be thermally coupled to the heat releasing member. | 12-25-2008 |
20090231537 | PHOTOGRAPHIC LENS UNIT AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS USING THE SAME - A lens unit fixed inside a lens barrel frame of a lens unit and is provided with a liquid crystal lens including a liquid crystal optical element constituted of a plurality of transparent electrode plates which are held in a liquid crystal lens holder, an imaging element arranged on the image side of the liquid crystal lens, a board, an imaging element support plate, and a two-dimensional drive mechanism, and the liquid crystal lens holder includes first and second retention members. The first retention member includes a first positioning section for performing positioning in an X-Y plane perpendicular to the optical axis of the liquid crystal lens, and a second positioning section for specifying an optical axis direction. The second retention member includes a connection section covering the liquid crystal lens and connecting with the second positioning section. | 09-17-2009 |
20120057051 | IMAGING APPARATUS, IMAGING METHOD AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM - An imaging apparatus includes an imaging unit that captures a subject to generate image data of the subject; a display unit that displays the image; an image separating unit that separates a subject image and a background image from the image displayed; a special effect input unit that receives information related to special effects respectively applied to the subject image and the background image; a special effect image generating unit that generates a special effect image of each of the subject and background images by applying special effects corresponding to information received by the special effect input unit; a storing unit that stores special effect information for assigning an advisability corresponding to a combination of special effects which the special effect image generating unit applies to the subject image and the background image; and a synthetic image generating unit that generates a synthetic image using the generated special effect image. | 03-08-2012 |
20120086821 | Lens barrel and image pickup device - Provided is a lens barrel having, in order from an object side to an image side, a first to a third group lens, the lens barrel including: a fixed frame; a cam frame supported by the fixed frame so as to be rotationally movable in a optical axis direction between a forward and a backward movement ends; and a shutter frame which moves in the optical axis direction in a rotation restricted state, through the rotation of the cam frame, in which: a third group frame is fixed to the shutter frame so that the object side of the third group lens is arranged on an inner peripheral side of the shutter frame; and the second frame is configured so that the image side of the frame is stored on the inner peripheral side of the shutter frame when the cam frame is positioned at the backward movement end. | 04-12-2012 |
20140313390 | IMAGING APPARATUS, IMAGING METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM - An imaging apparatus includes: an imaging unit configured to receive light collected from an object area through an imaging optical system provided at a front side facing an object, and to generate image data; a body unit including the imaging unit; an optical sight unit including a light source unit for emitting luminous flux, and a reflecting optical element for allowing light from the object area to transmit and reflecting the luminous flux toward a back side opposite to the front in order to produce a virtual image of the luminous flux in the object area or near the object area; and a leg unit that holds at least the reflecting optical element in a movable manner in a direction away from the body unit and in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis of the imaging optical system, at startup of the optical sight unit. | 10-23-2014 |
