An imager includes: an imaging element chip; a fixing member to which the imaging element chip is adhered, and which is electrically connected to the imaging element chip; a circuit board that is fixed to the fixing member via a plurality of conductive members; and a stress relaxing member that is fixed to a second surface of the circuit board opposite to a first surface of the circuit board, the first surface being a surface of the circuit board to a side of which the fixing member is fixed, a linear expansion coefficient of the fixing member, a linear expansion coefficient of the circuit board, and a linear expansion coefficient of the stress relaxing member are as defined herein, and the stress relaxing member overlaps an entire adhesion portion between the imaging element chip and the fixing member as defined herein.

Imager and imaging device

It is arranged so that a sense of discomfort will not be imparted to an individual observing a stereoscopic image. Cross-point information is recorded on a memory card on which stereoscopic moving image data has also been recorded. When the stereoscopic moving image is played back, an image representing a subject that is deeper than the cross point represented by the cross-point information is caused to blur. By causing blurring, the observer can be prevented from closely observing an image portion that exhibits too much parallax. Thus a sense of discomfort is not imparted to the observer.

Stereoscopic image display control apparatus and method of controlling operation of same

An imaging apparatus includes an imaging device, an imaging device deriving unit and a signal processing unit. Pixels of the imaging device include a first pixel group and a second pixel group. The imaging device driving unit exposes the first pixel group during a first exposure period, exposes the second pixel group during a second exposure period, and reads first image data captured by the first pixel group and second image data captured by the second pixel group separately. The signal processing unit performs image processing for the first and second image data. A first shooting mode and a second shooting mode are provided. In the first shooting mode, the signal processing unit performs the image processing for the first and second image data separately to generate two pieces of subject image data. In the second shooting mode, the signal processing unit combines the first and second image data.

Imaging apparatus and image signal processing method

A solid-state imaging device includes a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements provided at a surface portion of a semiconductor substrate by being arranged in a form of a two-dimensional array, spectral elements each provided on a number of the photoelectric conversion elements which are arranged linearly, a trapezoidal opening which is longitudinally elongated in a direction from a base toward an upper side thereof and which introduces incident light to the number of the photoelectric conversion elements being provided in each of the spectral elements, so as to cause spectral separation in the longitudinal direction by interference between the incident light and light reflected on inner side surfaces of the trapezoidal opening and a signal reading unit for reading a signal which is detected by each of the number of the photoelectric conversion elements arranged in the longitudinal direction by receiving the light incident through the trapezoidal opening.
