A photodetector according to an embodiment of the present disclosure including a plurality of photoelectric conversion sections that is provided to a semiconductor substrate. The photoelectric conversion sections each include a first region of a first electrical conduction type that is provided on a first surface side of the semiconductor substrate, a second region of a second electrical conduction type that is provided on a second surface side of the semiconductor substrate opposite to the first surface, a third region of a third electrical conduction type that is provided in a region between the first region and the second region of the semiconductor substrate, a first electrode that extends from the second surface in a thickness direction of the semiconductor substrate, a pixel separation layer having an insulation property, and a second electrode that is electrically coupled to the second region from the second surface side. The third region absorbs incident light. The first electrode is electrically coupled to the first region on a bottom surface. The pixel separation layer is provided to a side surface of the first electrode.

Reduction in power consumption of a video camera and a remote controller that displays a captured image of the video camera and improvement of operability are achieved. In a system including the video camera and the remote controller that displays a captured image of the video camera, when a period in which there is no operation on the operation unit of the remote controller reaches a first prescribed time, transmission of the captured image from the video camera to the remote controller via Wi-Fi communication and displaying processing on a display unit of the remote controller are stopped. Further, when a period in which there is no operation on the operation unit of the remote controller reaches a second prescribed time, the Wi-Fi communication is interrupted. Valid operation unit information in each mode is displayed on the display unit of the remote controller.

The display unitdisplays an item-selection-screen, on which selectable items are two-dimensionally-arranged. The operation input unitreceives a user's operation. The controller unitselects, every time an operation input unit receives an item-change-operation, items two-dimensionally-arranged on an item-selection-screen in order in a predetermined selection-direction, selects an item at an end in the selection-direction, and then selects adjacent-items in order in the selection-direction from an item at an end in a direction opposite to the selection-direction, the adjacent-items being adjacent at a predetermined side of the selection-direction. Since the items are two-dimensionally-arranged on the item-selection-screen, a user may easily understand the selectable items. Further, only by executing the item-change-operation again and again, it is possible to easily select a desired item. It is possible to execute setting or the like of the desired item efficiently and easily.

A photoelectric conversion element according to one embodiment of the disclosure includes a photoelectric conversion region inside a semiconductor layer. The photoelectric conversion region includes a region in which a depletion region is to be formed by voltage application to the semiconductor layer. The semiconductor layer has a first main surface and a second main surface. The depletion region converts light into a photoelectron, in which the light enters from side on which the first main surface is disposed. The photoelectric conversion element further includes an isoelectronic trap region in the region in which the depletion region is to be formed.

Photoelectric conversion element and photoelectric conversion device

An information processing apparatus (e.g., smart phone), a first external device (e.g., first camera), and a second external device (e.g., second camera), may establish respective wireless communication connections in one of a first communication mode and a second communication mode. In the first communication mode, the information processing apparatus may act as a client device. In the second communication mode, the information processing apparatus may act as a master device. When there is an active communications connection between the information processing apparatus and the first external device in the first communication mode, the information processing apparatus switches from the first communication mode to the second communication mode based on a communications connection being initiated between the second external device and the information processing apparatus.

A display control device includes a control device to control display of a first object on a first display screen and a second object on a second display screen. The second object on the second display screen corresponds to the first object on the first display screen, and is at a different level in a hierarchy from the first object on the first display screen.
