A capturing camera has a lens block that includes a lens for focusing light from a subject including a face of a person riding in a vehicle and a license plate of the vehicle, an image sensor that performs a capturing process based on the light from the subject focused by the lens, and a processor that generates a face image of the person riding in the vehicle and a license plate image of the vehicle, corresponding to a same vehicle, based on a captured image of the subject generated by the capturing process. The processor has the image sensor perform the capturing process using a plurality of capturing conditions at a time of capturing based on the light from the subject.

Capturing camera

There is provided a small-sized and light-weight image display apparatus which is thinned in the line of sight and which incorporates a display unit for displaying a magnified virtual image and a direct image, the display apparatus comprising a real image display part for displaying an image, an image magnifying means for optically magnifying the image formed in the real image forming means so as to form a virtual image, and a light guide means for guiding light from the real image display part to the image magnifying means, the magnifying means being formed in a triangular columnar shape having a substantially isosceles triangular cross-section, and having a first surface serving a light incident surface, a light emanating surface and a reflective surface, and a first internal reflecting surface and a second internal reflecting surface for reflecting light into the light guide means, wherein emanating light from the real image display part is incident upon the light guide means through the first surface, and is then reflected by the first internal reflection surface and the second internal reflection surface, and thereafter, the light emanating from the light guide means and entering into the image magnifying means.

Virtual image display apparatus and electronic equipment using thereof

An optical pickup to be used in an optical disc apparatus for optically recording and reproducing information on and from an optical disc. The optical pickup is arranged such that a laser light from a semiconductor laser is reflected plural times within an optical system and then focused on the optical disc and the light from the optical disc is diffracted by a hologram and then received by a light-receiving device for reproducing the information recorded on the optical disc. This arrangement can achieve the size-reduction of the optical pickup concurrently with obtaining a necessary optical path length.
