Abstract: In connecting flexible printed circuits, a structure with improved connection strength of the connection portion is provided. In this structure in which a first flexible printed circuit and a second flexible printed circuit are connected to each other, a through-hole is provided on the second flexible printed circuit, and a resin member passes through the through-hole and is adhered to the wires of a connection surface of the first flexible printed circuit and the side of the second flexible printed circuit opposite to the connection surface, whereby impact is absorbed by the elasticity of the resin; as for the first flexible printed circuit, adhesion is performed on a metal in a wiring layer with high adhesion strength, while as for the second flexible printed circuit, adhesion is performed on the back side upon which no peeling stress is exerted, improving joining strength to prevent peeling.

Abstract: Shutter blades are driven so that light which hits an image sensor which has been hit by the light is blocked (timing t5). That the shutter blades have moved a predetermined amount is detected before the start of the shutter blades blocking the light (timing t6), and furthermore, reset scanning of the exposure amount of the image sensor vertically upwards is started at a reset timing according to the detection before the start of the shutter blades blocking the light (timing t7). Due to this, it is possible for the exposure amount of the image sensor to be reset at a timing corresponding to the type of driving of the shutter for each camera in a case where there is variation or change in the type of driving due to individual unit differences or changes over time in the shutter mechanism.

Abstract: The present invention provides a scan-type image display device. In the scan-type image display device, laser light sources respectively generate light beams of green, red and blue, which in turn are combined by dichroic mirrors to generate a first beam and a second beam. A deflecting mirror device two-dimensionally scans the first and second beams under the rotation of a deflecting mirror thereof. The outgoing directions of the first and second beams have an angular difference relative to the vertical direction of a screen, and an interval between the first and second laser beams is set to be larger than an aperture diameter defined by laser safety standards.

Abstract: A data processing device includes a data storage section that stores data; an authentication information storage section that stores first authentication information registered by a user; an input section that allows the user to input second authentication information; a first judgment section that permits reading of the data stored in the data storage section when the first authentication information matches the second authentication information, and does not permit reading of the data stored in the data storage section when the first authentication information does not match the second authentication information; a slot into which an external storage device can be inserted; and a writing admission section that permits writing of the data stored in an external storage device into the data storage section without input of the second authentication information when the external storage device is inserted into the slot.

Abstract: A shutter blade is traveled to block light arriving at an image sensor at which light has arrived. Movement of a predetermined amount from traveling start of the shutter is detected (time) and a movement operation of the shutter blade is estimated based on a detection timing of the movement of the predetermined amount of the shutter blade, and a correction amount is set. The shutter is traveled at a travel start timing earlier than a basic travel start timing only by a timing correction amount correction amount based on the correction amount set until the previous time. Thus, an exposure period can be adjusted more properly.

Abstract: A digital camera includes: an optical system for forming an optical image of a subject; an image pickup unit that converts the formed optical image of the subject and outputs a subject image; and a recording unit that associates the subject image output by the image pickup unit with a layout definition data group and stores the subject image in a nonvolatile memory. The layout definition data group is stored in the nonvolatile memory and is made up of pieces of layout definition data that define a layout to draw a subject image for a drawing medium of a specific size. The pieces of layout definition data making up the layout definition data group with which the subject image is associated defines similar layouts for drawing media of difference sizes.
