There are provided a lens barrel and an imaging device that can fix a movable member to a stationary frame without providing a member for fixing the movable member. The lens barrel includes a first motor () that drives a third front lens group-holding frame (B) by first magnets (A) provided on the third front lens group-holding frame (B) and a first coil (C), and a second motor () that drives a fourth lens group-movable holding frame (B) by second coils (A) provided on the fourth lens group-movable holding frame (B) and second magnets (B) provided on a fourth lens group base-holding frame (A) fixed to the stationary barrel () and the cam barrel (). The third front lens group-holding frame (B) is fixed by a magnetic force between the first magnets (A) and inner and outer yokes (C,D) provided on the fourth lens group base-holding frame (A) in a case where the application of current to the first coil (C) is stopped.

Lens barrel and imaging device

A lens barrel including a first main shaft and a first sub-shaft that guide the movement of a third front lens group (G), a second main shaft and a second sub-shaft that guide the movement of a fourth lens group (G), a hall element that is used to detect the position of the third front lens group (G), and an MR sensor that is used to detect the position of the fourth lens group (G) are disposed on a straight line passing through an optical axis in a cross section orthogonal to the optical axis. The first main shaft and the second main shaft overlap each other in a direction of the optical axis. In a drive unit for each lens group, a plurality of drive magnets are arranged symmetrically with respect to the straight line.

Lens barrel

The present invention provides an imaging module, an electric device provided therewith, and an imaging-module manufacturing method capable of simply and reliably performing probing and fixing a lens unit and an imaging element unit to each other with high accuracy even when the miniaturized lens unit is used. A the lens unit () includes a focus driving unit, a housing (), a first connection portion (A), a first wiring portion by which the focus driving unit and the first connection portion are electrically connected to each other, and a second wiring portion which is electrically connected to the focus driving unit to which the first wiring portion is connected. The second wiring portion extends from the inside of the housing to the outside thereof, and a wire of the second wiring portion extends to an end surface on an end () of the extended second wiring portion.

Imaging module, electronic device provided therewith, and imaging-module manufacturing method

The invention provides an imaging module that can reliably perform probing, and an electronic apparatus including the imaging module. An imaging module includes a lens unit, and an imaging element unit that is fixed to the lens unit. The lens unit includes a focus drive unit, first and second image blur-correction drive units, a housing, a first connecting portion that is electrically connected to the imaging element unit, a first wiring portion that electrically connects the respective drive units to the first connecting portion, second connecting portions that are disposed outside the housing, a second wiring portion that is electrically connected to the second connecting portions and is electrically connected to the respective drive units to which the first wiring portion is connected, and a wiring board that includes at least a part of the second wiring portion and the plurality of second connecting portions.

Imaging module and electronic apparatus

An imaging module, an electronic device, and an imaging-module manufacturing method capable of relatively easily adjusting a relative position between an imaging element unit and a lens unit with high accuracy are provided. An imaging moduleincludes an imaging element unita lens unitwhich includes a lens groupa first image-blur correction driving unita second image-blur correction driving unita focus driving unitand a connection portionwhich is electrically connected to a circuit of the imaging element unit by a conductive joining material, and a flexible wiring portionwhich includes a wiring group which connects the circuit of the imaging element unit to at least one driving unit among the first image-blur correction driving unit, the second image-blur correction driving unit, and the focus driving unit, and extends between the imaging element unit and the lens unit.

Imaging module, electronic device, and imaging-module manufacturing method

An imaging moduleincludes a lens unitand an imaging element unit. The lens unitincludes a VCMA which moves a lens groupin a z direction, terminalsA andB which are electrically connected to the VCMA, a VCMC and a VCME which move the lens groupin an x direction and a y direction, and terminalsC toF which are electrically connected to the VCMC and the VCME. The imaging element unitincludes terminalsA toF which are electrically connected to the terminalsA toF. Exposed areas of the terminalsA andB are larger than exposed areas of the terminalsC toF.

Imaging module and electronic device

The lens unit () includes: a focus drive unit; first and second image blur-correction drive units; a first connecting portion (A) that is electrically connected to the imaging element unit; a first wiring portion that electrically connects the focus drive unit, the first image blur-correction drive unit, and the second image blur-correction drive unit to the first connecting portion; a second wiring portion that is electrically connected to only a part of a plurality of wires of the first wiring portion; and a plurality of second connecting portions () that are electrically connected to the second wiring portion.

Provided is a camera capable of contributing reductions in the number of components and manufacturing costs. A holding member is mounted on a top portion of a camera body. A block portion for holding a device for range-finding, a finder and so on, a semicylindrical portion for holding a battery, and a plate portion for holding a gear train of the camera body are integrally combined to form the holding member. Therefore, the number of components of the camera can be reduced, thereby resulting in a reduction in the manufacturing costs.

Camera having a holding member for holding a device for measuring a lens-to-subject distance

In a camera provided with an instrument supporting frame, with which a light projecting device or a light receiving device of an automatic focusing apparatus are combined at a predetermined position, a retaining piece, which is capable of elastically pushing and holding the light projecting device or the light receiving device at the predetermined position, is formed through integral molding together with the instrument supporting frame. The device is held by the retaining piece at the predetermined position and is adhered in this state to the instrument supporting frame by use of an adhesive agent.

Temporary retaining structure for light projecting or receiving devices of AF apparatuses

A method of display control is disclosed for an audio tape deck having a display unit employing an array of light-emitting segments, whereby both data relating to playback audio signals and tape transport data can be selectively displayed in the same display region. Any change in operating status from a normal play mode of operation during display of audio playback signal data is sensed, causing changeover to display of tape transport data, and after a fixed time has elapsed following return to the play mode the display of audio playback signal data is restored.

Method of controlling a tape deck display

In a cassette tape deck having a cover panel for covering an opening into which a tape cassette may be inserted, a keyboard section with dials for operating the tape deck and a display section with display elements for displaying operating conditions of the tape deck are provided on both front and rear surfaces of the cover panel of the tape deck.

Operating panel for electronic audio equipment

An auto-reverse tape deck is provided with an automatic stop feature such that, regardless of the initial tape position, playback is halted substantially at the starting position after one complete reciprocation of the tape. If playback begins in the midst of a music interval, the device may play to the end of this interval after one complete reciprocation before being stopped.
