  • Patent number: 11953945
    Abstract: A body part of a camera includes a display that is at least partially flexible. A display part of the display includes a first display part and a second display part that are integrally formed. A hinge part that connects the first display part to the second display part to be rotatable relative to each other is provided in the vicinity of a bendable part located at a boundary of each display part. The display is bendable in accordance with rotation of the hinge part with the bendable part as a starting point. An operation member is disposed on a back surface of the second display part, and the operation member is exposed to the outside in a bent state of the display.

  • Patent number: 11906884
    Abstract: In an electronic apparatus, a display at least partially has flexibility, includes a plurality of display portions, and includes a bending portion at each of boundaries of the display portions. An electronic apparatus includes, near each bending portion, a hinge portion that relatively rotatably couples two display portions and is configured to be bendable at each bending portion as a start point in response to rotation of each hinge portion. A main body coupling member rotatably couples the display to the main body portion. The display is able to transition to an accommodated state in which the display overlaps at a position that is different from the grip portion inside an outer shape of the main body portion and an unfolded state in which the plurality of display portions are unfolded in a parallel and same direction.

  • Publication number: 20230421875
    Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes an imaging element, a circuit board, a holding metal plate having an opening for holding the circuit board, wherein a linear expansion coefficient of the circuit board is smaller than a linear expansion coefficient of the holding metal plate, wherein one end surface of the imaging element parallel to a longer-side direction of a connector is directly fixed with a first adhesive to one end surface of the opposing holding metal plate parallel to the longer-side direction of the connector in the opening, and wherein another end surface of the imaging element parallel to the longer-side direction of the connector is directly fixed with a second adhesive to another end surface of the opposing holding metal plate parallel to the longer-side direction of the connector in the opening.

  • Patent number: 11805311
    Abstract: A display of an electronic apparatus includes first to third display portions that at least partially have flexibility and are integrally configured. The display has a first bending portion at a boundary between the first display portion and the second display portion and has a second bending portion at a boundary between the second display portion and the third display portion. A first hinge portion is relatively rotatably coupled to the first and second display portions. A second hinge portion is relatively rotatably coupled to the second and third display portions. The display is configured to be bendable at each bending portion as a start point in response to rotation of each hinge portion. The first bending portion and the second bending portion do not intersect each other and substantially perpendicularly intersect on extended lines of the first bending portion and the second bending portion.

  • Patent number: 11604330
    Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes an imaging element that captures an image for detecting a phase difference in a predetermined direction on an image surface in order to detect a focal state of an image formed by an image formation lens, an imaging element driving unit configured to be able to drive the imaging element in a parallel movement direction and a rotation direction within a plane perpendicular to an optical axis of the image formation lens, and a focus detection unit configured to detect a focus by rotating the imaging element using the imaging element driving unit in accordance with a result of an image captured by the imaging element.

  • Publication number: 20220413363
    Abstract: An imaging device is configured to include a finder and an eyecup unit. An eyecup is provided so as to surround an eyepiece window formed on a cover member. A base member holds the eyecup and the cover member. The eyecup is configured to include a curved and hollow eyepiece region, a first holding region comprising a first hole group, and a second holding region comprising a second hole group. The base member is configured to include a first protrusion group corresponding to the first hole group and a second protrusion group corresponding to the second hole group. The first hole group fits with the first projection group, and the second hole group fits with the second projection group.

  • Publication number: 20190310458
    Abstract: A mirror drive device that is capable of achieving high speed drive of a mirror unit and of reducing generation of bounds of mirrors. A first mirror unit is rotatably attached to a mirror box and is movable between a fast position within a photographing light path and a second position outside the path. A second mirror unit is rotatably attached to the first mirror unit and is movable between a third position within the path and a fourth position outside the path. A drive member moves the first mirror unit to the second position from the first position and moves the second mirror unit to the fourth position from the third position when, the drive member is driven by an actuator to a sixth position from a fifth position.
