A lens unit includes a plurality of lenses arranged in an optical axis direction, a lens barrel, and a retainer. The lens barrel has an opening larger than outer diameters of the plurality of lenses and contains the plurality of lenses. The retainer holds the plurality of lenses by contacting, from a side adjacent to the opening in the lens barrel, one of the plurality of lenses that is closest to the opening. Each of the plurality of lenses has an object-side surface and an image-side surface which each include a flat portion that extends radially inward from an outer edge of the lens and that is perpendicular to the optical axis direction of the lens. Each of the plurality of lenses is held in planar contact with a holder at the flat portion. The retainer holds the plurality of lenses by biasing the plurality of lenses in the optical axis direction.

Lens unit, imaging device, and mobile object

The electronic deviceis provided with a touch panel, vibration unitsandthat vibrate the touch panel, and a display unitdisposed adjacent to the backside of the touch panel. The display unitis held suspended from the touch panelvia a flexible memberdisposed along the entire periphery of the display unit, improves dust resistance and water resistance, as an electronic device that includes and vibrates a panel forming the external appearance of the electronic device, while making it difficult to inhibit vibration of the panel.

Electronic device

A mobile terminal device comprise a first housingprovided with a displaying unit; a second housingon which the first housingis laid; a hinge portionpivotably connecting respective one end portions of the first housingand second housingwith each other such that the first housingmoves toward/away from the second housing; and a self-stand maintaining unit for maintaining a self-standing state where the displaying unitis inclined by pivoting the first housingrelative to the second housingwith the hinge portionas a pivoting center, as well as moving the first housingalong an axial direction of the hingeto bring a side of the first housingand a contact portion A on a side surface of the second housinginto contact with a placement surface.

Mobile terminal device

A mobile terminal device having a structure suitable for insertion and removal of a card from the device with a battery held in a battery holding part. A mobile phonehas a housing bodyhaving a battery holding partholding a batteryand has a cover membercovering the battery holding part. In the battery holding part, a second card insertion partis provided in a region not concealed by the batterywhen the batteryis held in the battery holding partand covered by the cover member. The second card insertion partin which a second card Cinserted is covered together with the batteryby the cover member

A portable communication terminal comprises wireless communication unitsfor transmitting and receiving data by connecting to a communication line by wireless, broadcasting receiving units-for receiving digital broadcasting including a program image and data broadcasting, a communication service area determining unitfor determining whether or not to be in communication service area, a display unitwhich has an image display regiona data broadcasting display regionand a soft key display regiona display control unitfor controlling display of the data broadcasting display regionand/or the soft key display regionbased on at least the determination result by the communication service area determining unitan access request detecting unitand a wireless communication control unitfor controlling the wireless communication unitsbased on detection result by the access request detecting unit

Portable communication terminal

A portable terminal, which is small sized, excellent in portability, and having high operability for various functions other than a call function, is provided. Two housings are connected such that they can be extended in directions different from each other. The housings have a retraction state, a first extension state, a second extension state, and a third extension state that is a state achieved by further sliding the housings from the second extension into another state. Broadcast receiving conditions are improved by changing the length of an antenna for receiving digital broadcast reception in the second extension state and the third extension state.

Portable terminal

There is provided a broadcast receiving apparatus, comprising a reception unitreceiving a broadcast signal from a plurality of channels; a display unitdisplaying video which corresponds to the broadcast signal; a touch panelaccepting handwritten input by a user; a character recognition unitrecognizing handwritten input onto the touch panelas a character or a character string; a memory unitstoring for each channel a character or a character string specifying the channel; and a control unitswitching a reception channel, when a character or a character string recognized by the character recognition unitcorresponds to any one of characters or character strings stored in the memory unitwhile video corresponding to a broadcast signal received at the reception unitis displayed on the display unit, to a channel corresponding to the character or the character string.

Broadcast receiving apparatus

A shield casing, which is configured to surround an electronic component mounted on a circuit board, includes a frame body including an engagement recess and a lid body including a hook unit configured to engage with the engagement recess. The lid body is fitted to the frame body to cover the frame body. The hook unit is elastically deformable in a second direction that is opposite to a first direction in which the lid body is fitted to the frame body as the lid body is fitted to the frame body, and then snaps into mating engagement in the engagement recess.

Shield casing and electronic apparatus

A tuner partfor receiving broadcast waves of a channel specified, a key operation partincluding plural channel selection buttons B corresponding to channels, and a control partfor performing control so as to be able to visually distinguish a channel selection button B corresponding to a channel capable of being received by the tuner partfrom other channel selection buttons B among the plurality of channel selection buttons B are provided, so that notification of a receivable channel can be provided surely.

Digital broadcast receiving apparatus

Substrate for mounting an optical component, a method for producing the same, and an optical module using the same

On one principal plane of a silicon substrate,, a silicon oxide film,having an opening,is formed, and a silicon nitride film,having an opening,overlapping the opening,and a recessed marker,is stacked on the silicon oxide film,. Next, the substrate,is etched through the openings,to provide an alignment groove,for an optical waveguide, and an electrode pattern,is formed. Light of which wavelength transmits through the substrate,and the silicon oxide film,is radiated from the other principal plane of the substrate,, and the optical element is assembled with the marker,serving as the reference while the marker,and the optical element are monitored.
