  • Patent number: 9674461
    Abstract: The imaging device 1 has an image sensor 14 and an electronic diaphragm section. In the image sensor 14, a plurality of pixels having an organic layer for photoelectric conversion is two-dimensionally arranged. Each pixel of the image sensor 14 is divided into a plurality of regions. The pixel has an on-chip microlens 15, which forms a pupil image of a photography optical system 12 on the plurality of regions, and reading sections 16 which respectively read photoelectrically converted signals of the divided regions. The electronic diaphragm section electronically controls an aperture value, and selects divided regions, which are read by the reading sections 16, on the basis of the aperture value, or selects a signal from the signals of the plurality of divided regions, which are read by the reading sections 16, on the basis of the aperture value.

  • Patent number: 9667877
    Abstract: The imaging device of the present invention includes: an image sensor 14 that is configured such that a plurality of pixels having an organic layer (14-4) for photoelectric conversion is two-dimensionally arranged, and each pixel of the image sensor (14) is divided into a plurality of regions, and has an on-chip microlens (15), which forms a pupil image of a optical imaging system on the plurality of regions, and reading sections (16) which respectively read photoelectrically converted signals of the plurality of divided regions; an optical diaphragm that mechanically stops down rays which are incident into the image sensor 14; and an electronic diaphragm section that electronically controls an aperture value, and that selects signals of the divided regions corresponding to the aperture value from the signals of the plurality of divided regions, on the basis of the aperture value which is controlled by the optical diaphragm.

  • Patent number: 7627989
    Abstract: A drive device for a wire-type window regulator is disclosed wherein a drum is accommodated in a cover and, under such a status, rotating and operating a rotation operator, exposed to an operation bore portion, enables work to be done for winding a wire. With the rotation operator kept in engagement with operation bore portion, the drum is avoided from rotating in a rewinding direction, making it easy to perform work for an output shaft of a motor to be brought into engagement with a drive bore portion of the drum.
