A power supply device to electroconductively connect a power-fed terminal included in a power-fed unit and a power supply terminal of a power supply board. The power supply device includes a unit contact portion to contact the power-fed terminal; a board contact portion to contact the power supply board; a connector to connect the unit contact portion and the board contact portion; and a support member to support the unit contact portion, the board contact portion, and the connector. The unit contact portion is held on an inner face of the support member opposed to the power-fed unit; the board contact portion is held on an outer face of the support member opposed to the power supply board; and the connector connects the unit contact portion and the board contact portion through the support member.

A moving device assembly includes a moving device and a shield. The moving device is movable between a first position and a second position, to move a detector including a detection surface relative to an opposing member disposed opposite the detector. The shield shields the detection surface of the detector. As the moving device is at the first position, the detector is at a proximal position at which the detector is near the opposing member, and as the moving device is at the second position, the detector is at a shield position at which the detector is separated from the opposing member and the detection surface of the detector is shielded by the shield.

An optical scanning device includes a polygon scanner that deflects and scans light beams, a body on which the polygon scanner directly mounted, and a heat dissipating unit that dissipates heat of the deflection scanning unit. The heat dissipating unit is located at a position on an outer surface of the body corresponding to the deflection scanning unit. The body is provided with a pair of wall portions on the outer surface. The wall portions face each other with the heat dissipating unit between them, and extend in a direction in which air blown by an air blowing unit flows to form an air-flow path.

An exposure unit which exposes photoconductive drums having rotary axes thereof arranged parallel to each other on a single plane by light beams, includes one or more polygon mirrors each having a plurality of reflection surfaces, where the one or more polygon mirrors rotate about a common rotary axis. Each light beam is deflected by the one or more polygon mirrors and scans the surface of a corresponding photoconductive drum. The common rotary axis is separated from the rotary axes of the photoconductive drums by identical distances along respective normals which are perpendicular to both the common rotary axis and the rotary axes of the photoconductive drums.

A capacitor is provided having a tough surface portion which prevents cracking that tends to occur when the capacitor is built-in or surface-mounted on a wiring board. A ceramic sintered body of the capacitor includes a capacitor forming layer portion, a cover layer portion and an interlayer portion. The capacitor forming layer portion has a laminated structure wherein ceramic dielectric layers and inner electrodes connected to a peripheral portion of capacitor via conductors, are alternately laminated. The cover layer portion is exposed at a surface portion of the ceramic body and has a laminated structure wherein ceramic dielectric layers and dummy electrodes not connected to the capacitor via conductors, are alternately laminated.

A liquid crystal panel includes an iris unit for limiting the incident range of light from an object to be shot, and a filter unit for assigning a exposure energy distribution varying with the position to incident light whose incident range is limited by the iris unit. The control unit controls the ON time and the OFF time of each pixel of the liquid crystal panel, and then a low pass filter operation on the captured image as an image processing can be optically replaced.
