Abstract
An optical imaging system suppresses the generation of red-toned ghosting in an image particularly when there is a background light or when a strong light source shines on the screen. The optical imaging system has a reflection-type infrared cut filter comprising a multi-layer film, color filters that selectively transmit light according to the wavelength, and an imaging element. Ghosting is suppressed to inconspicuous levels by adjusting the transmittance of the color filters and the infrared cut filter, and by setting the spectral characteristics of the color filters.
