Abstract:
An optical recording medium tilt compensation device having a tilt compensation unit is disclosed that is able to compensate for a tilt error in servo control when recording or reproducing data in an optical recording medium. The optical recording medium tilt compensation device includes an object lens that condenses light from a light source on a recording surface of an optical recording medium; an object lens tilt actuator that controls a tilt of the object lens; an object lens tilt sensor that detects a tilt of the object lens; an optical recording medium tilt sensor that detects a tilt of the optical recording medium; a control unit that controls the tilt of the object lens in accordance with a tilt value from the optical recording medium tilt sensor so that an aberration of the spot condensed on the recording surface is minimum by driving the object lens tilt actuator; a gain variable unit that changes the magnitude of an output signal from the object lens tilt sensor or the optical recording medium tilt sensor.
Abstract:
An optical recording medium tilt compensating device is provided that includes: an objective lens that concentrates light onto a recording surface of an optical recording medium, the light being emitted from a light source; an optical recording medium tilt offset detecting unit that detects a direct current component from a change with time in an optical recording medium tilt caused when the optical recording medium is rotated; and a tilt actuator that controls a tilt of the objective lens by adjusting a relative tilt between the objective lens and the optical recording medium based on the direct current component detected by the optical recording medium tilt offset detecting unit, the relative tilt being obtained from an optical recording medium tilt sensor of an optical pickup that detects the tilt of the optical recording medium.
Abstract:

The image processing apparatus includes a signal separation unit configured to separate a color signal and a luminance signal included in the image data, and a color signal control unit configured to control chroma of the color signal used for the image processing based on a luminance value of the luminance signal.
Abstract:
An imaging apparatus includes: a lens barrel which holds at least one optical element; an image sensor which converts an image of a photographic subject obtained by the optical element into an electrical signal; a circuit board on which the image sensor is mounted; and a fixing wall body which is a different body from the lens barrel, and where the lens barrel is mounted to an end part of the fixing wall body on a photographic subject side, and the circuit board is mounted to an end part of the fixing wall body on a side opposite to the photographic subject side by a bond structure by an adhesive agent.
Abstract:
A photoelectric conversion element includes a plurality of light receiving portions. A color filter is provided on a light receiving surface of the photoelectric conversion element with filters for red, green, and blue arranged corresponding to the light receiving portions, such that R, G, and B pixels including the light receiving portions and the filters are arranged in a two-dimensional array. A transfer unit transfers a light in a wavelength range other than lights of green and blue incident on the G pixel and a light in a wavelength range other than lights of blue and green incident on the B pixel to a neighboring R pixel.
