Abstract: An image pickup device mounted at a distal end portion of an endoscope is provided that can make joining work more efficient and simplified, improve maintenance performance and reduce the size and diameter. A distal end portion 44 of an endoscope is provided with an objective optical system 54, a prism 62 continuing to the objective optical system 54, a solid-state image pickup element 66 receiving observation light through the prism 62, a circuit board 68 electrically connected to the solid-state image pickup element 66, and a signal cable having a plurality of cable cores 78, and the circuit board 68 and the signal cable are electrically connected through a connection portion 74 and a joining member 76.

Abstract: The imaging and display apparatus is provided. The imaging and display apparatus includes the following elements. An imaging-and-display panel has an image display function and an imaging function. A generation unit generates a difference image representing a difference between a display-light-based image and a shadow image, the display-light-based image being obtained by the imaging-and-display panel by imaging an object close to the imaging-and-display panel using display light from the imaging-and-display panel, the shadow image being obtained by the imaging-and-display panel by imaging a shadow of the object. An image processing unit obtains information concerning at least one of a position, shape, and size of the object taking the shadow image and the difference image into account.

Abstract: In a solid-state image pickup device, a thickness of an insulating film, a width and a thickness of wirings, a length of the wirings, or a diameter of bump portions formed on the wirings is formed so that a capacitance of a capacitor structure generated between a solid-state image sensor chip, and the wirings and the bump portions is not more than a desired value. Thereby, sensitivity of the solid-state image pickup device is not lowered at high-frequency driving.

Abstract: An apparatus for processing a rolled article has a rotary supporting mechanism for rotatably supporting opposite ends of a photosensitive roll, an end drawing mechanism for drawing a sheet end of the photosensitive roll to a prescribed length, a pressing mechanism for supporting opposite surfaces of the sheet end, and an applying mechanism for applying a joint tape to the sheet end supported by the pressing mechanism in a transverse direction of the photosensitive roll.
