摘要:
By integrating a diode and a resistor connected in parallel into the same chip as an IGBT and connecting a cathode of the diode to a gate of the IGBT, the value of dv/dt can be limited to a predetermined range inside the chip of the IGBT without a deterioration in turn-on characteristics. Since the chip includes a resistor having such a resistance that a dv/dt breakdown of the IGBT can be prevented, the IGBT can be prevented from being broken by an increase in dv/dt at a site (user site) to which the chip is supplied.

The optical observation apparatus includes an optical element which reflects a first wavelength region light from an object to introduce the light to an eyepiece part, and a light source which emits a second wavelength region light. A wavelength-selective optical film which transmits the first wavelength region light and reflects the second wavelength region light is disposed inside the optical element. The optical observation apparatus superimposes an image formed by the second wavelength region light reflected by the wavelength-selective optical film on an object image formed by the first wavelength region light transmitted through the wavelength-selective optical film to cause an observer to observe the object image with the superimposed image through the eyepiece part. The optical observation apparatus can superimpose an optional image on the object image to enable the observer to observe these images without a deterioration of viewfinder performance.

摘要:
Light transmitted through the imaging lens 100 is divided into two light fluxes by the half mirror 202 fixed in the camera body 200, and two light fluxes are guided to the imaging element 201 and optical viewfinder, respectively. An image processing unit corrects aberration, which occurs due to the transmittance of light through the half mirror 202, of the image data generated after receiving light at the imaging element 201, by conversion processing based on a transfer function representing its optical transfer characteristics and restores the image data prior to the occurrence of aberration.

摘要:
The ratio between an image A and an image B is calculated as the comparison result of the images A and B obtained from a pair of optical images. The variance is then calculated in order to evaluate the statistical fluctuation of the ratio obtained for each pixel. The fluctuation due to the variance is evaluated for each phase difference while the phase between the image A and the image B is shifted. The phase difference detection is performed on the basis of the evaluation result of the fluctuation.
