In zooming from a wide-angle end to a telescopic end, the first lens group moves to the object side in a manner that a distance toward the second lens group shortens, and a distance between the third lens group and the fourth lens group lengthens. The third lens group includes a single lens or a single cemented lens.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2013Publication date: November 28, 2013Applicant: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Atsushi Oohata, Hiroki Hagiwara

Publication number: 20130010145Abstract: A solid-state image sensing apparatus includes a solid-state image sensing device, signal processing circuit device, and a multi-layer wiring package. The solid-state image sensing device has a pixel in an image sensing area thereof. The pixel receives incident light and generate a signal electric charge. The signal processing circuit device is arranged to face the image sensing area and applies signal processing to a signal output from the solid-state image sensing device. The multi-layer wiring package has wiring layers, the solid-state image sensing device, and the signal processing circuit device. Each of the wiring layers is laminated via an insulator. The multi-layer wiring package is formed such that a first wiring layer provided between the solid-state image sensing device and the signal processing circuit device has a greater thickness than second wiring layers and has heat conductivity higher than or equal to heat conductivity of the second wiring layers.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2012Publication date: January 10, 2013Applicant: Sony CorporationInventors: Hiroki Hagiwara, Keiji Sasano, Hiroaki Tanaka, Yuki Tuji, Tsuyoshi Watanabe, Koji Tsuchiya, Kenzo Tanaka, Takaya Wada, Noboru Kawabata, Hirokazu Yoshida, Hironori Yokoyama
