  • Publication number: 20090161003
    Abstract: In a lens apparatus, light entering a lens barrel from an external source is incident to an optoelectric converting element for image recording. The light passing through an optical path of the lens apparatus is filtered by a filter that absorbs a specific range of optical wavelengths and is provided in a filter frame. The filter frame is moved to position the filter at a first position that is on the optical path or at a second position that is away from the optical path. A filter housing structure is provided establishing a frame moving region in which the filter frame is arranged and moves, and blocking the incidence of light from a source other than the optical path to the filter frame moving region.

  • Publication number: 20080230004
    Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing a color conversion filter, having a color filter layer on a transparent substrate. A coloring matter layer containing color conversion coloring matter and an optical radical generating agent are formed on the substrate and the filter layer. The coloring matter layer is exposed to coloring matter decomposition light applied through the substrate and the filter layer. The coloring matter layer also is exposed to auxiliary ultraviolet light applied from the side of the coloring matter layer. This forms a color conversion layer at a position corresponding to the filter layer. The optical radical generating agent is heat vaporized. The color conversion coloring matter is decomposed by light whose wavelength is outside a range that the color filter layer transmits. The coloring matter decomposition light includes a wavelength component that decomposes the color conversion coloring matter.
