Both downsizing of a device and improvement of the ranging accuracy are implemented in a device for measuring a distance to an object. An image capture device includes a pair of imaging elements and a ranging unit. Regarding the pair of imaging elements in this image capture device, axes perpendicular to light receiving surfaces thereof cross each other. Furthermore, in the image capture device including the pair of imaging elements and the ranging unit, the ranging unit measures a distance to an object on the basis of a parallax obtained from a pair of images captured by the pair of imaging elements in which axes perpendicular to light receiving surfaces thereof cross each other.

To reduce power consumption of a sequential comparison analog-to-digital converter. An analog-to-digital converter includes a sequential conversion unit, a determination unit, and a stop control unit. The sequential conversion unit sequentially generates a predetermined number of bits of a value corresponding to an analog signal when the analog signal is input. The determination unit determines whether a value of a digital signal including the predetermined number of bits is within a predetermined range whenever the bits are generated. The stop control unit stops the sequential conversion unit in a case in which the value of the digital signal is not within the predetermined range.

A display panel includes a plurality of first unit pixels, each including: a data input terminal, a data output terminal, a display element, and a waveform shaping section. The display element is configured to perform display based on data inputted to the data input terminal. The first waveform shaping section is provided on a signal path from the data input terminal to the data output terminal.
