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.

Dimming device, image display device, and display device

A shutter section (), mounted to a front surface () of a front lens barrel (), is included. The shutter section () has a shutter blade (not shown) that opens and closes an optical path of an image pickup optical system (), an actuator (not shown) that drives the shutter blade, and a case () that accommodates the shutter blade and the actuator and that is provided with an opening () for the optical path. The shutter section () is mounted to the front surface () of the front lens barrel () by stopping a cover-side engagement stopping section () of the cover () and a case-side engagement stopping section () of the case () 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.
