Patent number: 6738577Abstract: A display device 70 having an organic luminescent element arranged at an object image-forming position of a finder optical system. Frames are formed by parts 31b, 32b, 33b of the negative electrode formed of non-transparent material, an organic electroluminescent material is laminated thereon on the eyepiece side, and a positive electrode formed of transparent material is superimposed thereon on the eyepiece side. Since the non-transparent negative electrodes 31b, 32b, 33b shield the light, the frames are recognized as black frames. When the periphery is dark, a voltage is applied between the electrodes causing the organic electroluminescent material to luminesce, such that the frame itself becomes brighter in display and is readily visible.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 1999Date of Patent: May 18, 2004Assignee: Minolta Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yasuo Maeda, Akihiko Fujino, Reiji Seki, Noriyuki Ishii, Makoto Akesaka, Satoshi Yokota

Patent number: 5778265Abstract: Malfunction is prevented in a camera which allows setting of print number at the time of photographing. In the camera, whether the film is a reversal film or not is determined. When the loaded film is a negative film, a print number is initially set to 1. If the loaded film is a reversal film, the print number is initially set to 0. However, when a select switch is ON, the set number is 1, similar to the case of a negative film. The setting is for a counter CPRT storing the print number data.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 1996Date of Patent: July 7, 1998Assignee: Minolta Co., Ltd.Inventor: Reiji Seki
