  • Publication number: 20240071705
    Abstract: A power supply control device is to be installed in a vehicle. The power supply control device controls power supply via a semiconductor switch and a fuse by turning the semiconductor switch ON or OFF. The semiconductor switch and the fuse are mounted on a circuit board. In the fuse, two long plate-shaped terminals are arranged in a row. The fusing portion and a part of the two terminals are covered with a housing having heat resistance. The two terminals are disposed in a current path of a current flowing through the semiconductor switch. The current flows through the fusing portion. If the temperature of the fusing portion exceeds a predetermined temperature, the fusing portion is fused.

  • Publication number: 20200359915
    Abstract: There is provided a biological information obtaining device to enable holding down the occurrence of stray light to a greater extent even in the case of attempting further downsizing and thinning of the device. The biological information obtaining device includes an image sensor in which biological information, which represents image information obtained as a result of emitting the light of a predetermined wavelength with respect to one part of a living body, is imaged; a lens array that is positioned in between the image sensor and one part of the living body, that has a plurality of single lenses arranged in an array-like manner, and that performs imaging of the biological information in the image sensor; and light shields that are positioned in between the image sensor and the lens array, and that form light guiding paths meant for imaging of the biological information, which is transmitted through the single lenses, in the image sensor.

  • Patent number: 10831025
    Abstract: An image display device includes: an image forming device; an optical device having a virtual image forming region where a virtual image is formed on the basis of light emitted from the image forming device; and a dimming device for adjusting the amount of external light incident from the outside, disposed so as to face the virtual image forming region and to be away from the optical device. The dimming device includes: a transparent protective substrate on which external light is incident; a dimming layer formed on a surface of the protective substrate facing the optical device; and a moisture-retaining layer formed on the dimming layer.

  • Patent number: 8692931
    Abstract: A shutter section (84), mounted to a front surface (2202) of a front lens barrel (22), is included. The shutter section (84) has a shutter blade (not shown) that opens and closes an optical path of an image pickup optical system (28), an actuator (not shown) that drives the shutter blade, and a case (86) that accommodates the shutter blade and the actuator and that is provided with an opening (8610) for the optical path. The shutter section (84) is mounted to the front surface (2202) of the front lens barrel (22) by stopping a cover-side engagement stopping section (88) of the cover (26) and a case-side engagement stopping section (90) of the case (86) by engaging them with each other. By these structures, it is possible to provide a camera module that is advantageous in terms of reducing costs and size.
