Publication number: 20220390704Abstract: A lens unit includes a plurality of lenses arranged in an optical axis direction, a lens barrel, and a retainer. The lens barrel has an opening larger than outer diameters of the plurality of lenses and contains the plurality of lenses. The retainer holds the plurality of lenses by contacting, from a side adjacent to the opening in the lens barrel, one of the plurality of lenses that is closest to the opening. Each of the plurality of lenses has an object-side surface and an image-side surface which each include a flat portion that extends radially inward from an outer edge of the lens and that is perpendicular to the optical axis direction of the lens. Each of the plurality of lenses is held in planar contact with a holder at the flat portion. The retainer holds the plurality of lenses by biasing the plurality of lenses in the optical axis direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2020Publication date: December 8, 2022Applicant: KYOCERA CorporationInventors: Naoto OHARA, Michiaki HIRAOKA, Akihiko HIRAISHI, Hiroto YAHAGI, Keiichi NAGOSHI

Publication number: 20220377214Abstract: An imaging device includes a lens barrel in which a plurality of lenses are held and that has a thread groove in a cylindrical outer periphery thereof; an imaging element that captures a subject image incident on the imaging element through the lenses; a housing that holds the imaging element and that includes a threaded portion configured to engage with the thread groove in the outer periphery of the lens barrel; and an adhesive member positioned between the thread groove in the outer periphery of the lens barrel and the threaded portion of the housing. The thread groove is provided in a range including a position at which a principal plane of an optical system including the plurality of lenses crosses the outer periphery of the lens barrel.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2020Publication date: November 24, 2022Applicant: KYOCERA CorporationInventors: Naoto OHARA, Michiaki HIRAOKA, Hiroto YAHAGI, Keiichi NAGOSHI, Akihiko HIRAISHI

Patent number: 9619028Abstract: Frequency characteristics of an air conduction sound and a human body vibration sound are adjusted. An electronic apparatus 1 according to the present invention includes a panel 10, a piezoelectric element 30, a housing 60 for mounting the panel 10, and a member 80 attached to the piezoelectric element 30, wherein the member 80 and the panel 10 deform due to deformation of the piezoelectric element 30 and thus deliver the air conduction sound and the human body vibration sound to an object in contact with the panel 10 that is deforming, and the member 80 adjusts the frequency characteristics of the air conduction sound and the human body vibration sound.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2013Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: KYOCERA CorporationInventors: Seiji Horii, Kenichi Ozasa, Keiichi Nagoshi

Patent number: 9363591Abstract: An electronic device is provided with a housing, a piezoelectric element, and a panel, which is attached to the housing and has a contact area contacting a part of human body, configured to vibrate by the piezoelectric element to generate a vibration sound to be transmitted by vibrating the part of human body, such that pressure from inside of the housing at the contact area of the panel is smaller than pressure from inside of the housing at different area from the contact area. Thereby the sound pressure property is improved, and thus the electronic device preferably transmits air conduction sound and vibration sound.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2013Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignee: KYOCERA CorporationInventors: Kenichi Ozasa, Hayato Mizuno, Hiroto Yahagi, Keiichi Nagoshi, Tsutomu Zaima, Koutatsu Kanayama, Tomoaki Nakamura, Hideo Tomioka, Takuji Masunaga, Tomohiro Inagaki
