Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes: an imaging sensor that captures an object image formed through an interchangeable lens to generate image data; a driver that performs image blur correction by moving the imaging sensor in a plane perpendicular to an optical axis; and a controller that causes the driver to move the imaging sensor. The controller causes the driver to move the imaging sensor automatically, thereby detecting a movable amount of the imaging sensor that does not cause a vignetting in the captured image at a time when moving the imaging sensor for image blur correction, and causes the driver to move the imaging sensor within a range of the detected movable amount.

Abstract: A die structure has a first die, a second die that comes in contact with and separate from the first die, a heating unit provided in at least one of the first and second dies, and a transfer member provided in at least one of the first and second dies that brings a resin sheet supplied between the first and second dies into contact with a transfer surface and carrying out transfer molding, and a recess site formed on the transfer member near the transfer surface.

Abstract: A transfer molding method includes supplying melted resin to a first metallic mold, conveying the first metallic mold onto which the resin was supplied to a position opposing a second metallic mold, performing transfer molding by sandwiching the resin between the two metallic molds, and cooling the resin after performing transfer molding. The performing transfer molding includes discharging residual air that remains in a recess via a groove portion.

Abstract: An area light source device has a transfer-molded optical member, and a light source disposed in a position facing at least one of end faces of the optical member. Light incident to the optical member from the light source is output through a light exit surface of the optical member. A cutting back clearance portion is provided in at least one of corner portions of the end face of the optical member.

Abstract: A transfer molding method has a transfer molding step of performing transfer molding to a resin sheet between a first die and a second die, which are disposed while facing each other, by heating at least one of the first and second dies, and a cooling step of cooling the resin sheet. The cooling step includes a first cooling step of cooling the resin sheet while an applied pressure is maintained at a first setting value smaller than a value of an applied pressure in the transfer molding step, and a second cooling step of cooling the resin sheet while the applied pressure is reduced to a second setting value smaller than the first setting value.

Abstract: A transfer molding method includes an insertion step of inserting a resin sheet between a first die and a second die, which are disposed opposite each other, a sandwiching step of sandwiching the resin sheet between the first and second dies while a transfer surface of a transfer member is brought into contact with at least one of surfaces of the resin sheet, and a transfer molding step of heating at least one of the first and second dies to melt at least a surface portion of the resin sheet with which the transfer surface of the transfer member is brought into contact, and exhausting residual air remaining in a recess through a groove portion connected to the recess when a thick portion is formed by the recess formed in the transfer surface.
