  • Publication number: 20240085761
    Abstract: A blade open-close device includes a base, a blade, an actuator unit, a detectable member, and a detector. The base includes an opening portion on an optical axis. The blade is movable in an intersecting direction to cover or uncover the opening portion. The actuator unit moves the blade to one of a closing position to cover the opening portion or an opening position to uncover the opening portion. The detectable member changes a position of a first magnet and a position of a second magnet in response to coming into contact with the blade moving. The detector detects the first magnet when the blade is at the opening position and detects the second magnet when the blade is at the closing position.
