An image pickup section includes the number of pixels in the vertical direction which is decreased one-half less than the number of scan lines. A signal containing image components is outputted every one horizontal line. The horizontal line containing the image components in an odd field is offset from that in an even field by one line. In both the odd and even fields, leach of these image signals are multiplexed on a signal delayed by one horizontal scan period to form an image signal which contains the same image components for each two horizontal lines. This image signal is then displayed in the non-interlace manner.

A lens module includes a lens body; a lens holding member that movably holds the lens body along an optical axis of the lens body without tilting the optical axis; a displacement element that has a flat-plate shape of which one end edge on a side of the lens body along the optical axis is disposed as a free end and the free end is displaced to freely approach the lens body by applying a voltage; and a push-up member that is disposed on the free end of the displacement element and is inserted on one end surface side of the lens body, which is perpendicular to the optical axis, by the approach towards the lens body of the displacement element so as to push up the lens body in the optical axis direction.

An image pickup unit and an image processing unit are provided, each inexpensively achieving both of far distance photographing and near distance photographing in a simple configuration. In an image processing section 12, a correction coefficient selection section 123 selects one of a correction coefficient k1 for a distant object and a correction coefficient k2 for a proximate object in response to a mode setting signal input by a user, and outputs the selected correction coefficient to a deblurring processing section 122. The deblurring processing section 122 performs blur correction to image data D2 based on imaging data D0 with use of the selected correction coefficient. This allows appropriate blur correction to the imaging data of each of the distant object and the proximate object.

A solid-state image sensing device has a photoreceptive element for storing an information charge generated in response to an incident light and a charge-retaining element for retaining the information charge as it is, adjacently arranged on the surface of a semiconductor substrate, wherein the photoreceptive element and the charge-retaining element can bidirectionally transfer the information charge according to a transfer clock signal.

An image capture device capable of capturing high quality images is disclosed. The image capture device comprises a shift register, each pixel of which has a plurality of transfer electrodes extending in a direction crossing a transfer direction of information charges. A potential well formed by function of the transfer electrodes is used to store and transfer information charges generated in response to light incident on a pixel. In this image capture device, during image capture, information charges are stored in a plurality of potential wells substantially separated from each other, and, during transfer, information charges stored in at least two of the plurality of potential wells are combined by addition to be transferred.

The horizontal synchronous signal and the vertical synchronous signal included in a composite synchronous signal which is output from one TV camera are separated from the composite synchronous signal. A plurality of TV cameras are controlled on the basis of the horizontal synchronous signal and the vertical synchronous signal so as to produce synchronized video signals from the plurality of TV cameras. These synchronized video signals are easy to compound. In the blanking period of the vertical synchronous signal, the rise period of the synchronous signal is 1/2 of the period of the vertical synchronous signal. Pulses are eliminated alternately in the blanking period by a half killer circuit including a counter and a decoder and having a simple structure, thereby generating a horizontal synchronous signal appropriate for driving the TV cameras. The counter composed of Johnson counters connected in multiple stages reduces the amount of current flowing to the counter, thereby eliminating the deleterious influence on the TV cameras.

An optical sensor is described herein. By way of example, the optical sensor comprises a first light filter on a first light-receiving surface of an image sensor, and a second light filter on a second light-receiving surface of the image sensor. The second light-receiving surface is on an opposite side of the image sensor from the first light-receiving surface. The characteristics of the first light filter are different than characteristics of the second light filter.

A video signal obtained by a solid-state image pickup device is supplied to a display apparatus to display an image. The number of the pixels of the solid-state image pickup device is smaller (e.g., 1/4) than that of the screen of the display apparatus. The transfer clock of the solid-state image pickup device is so controlled that the video signal output therefrom corresponds to an image displayed at the region of 1/4 of the reproducing screen. The video signals from four solid-state image pickup devices are compounded so as to display an image composed of four divided images on one screen. A synchronizing signal which is a reference for the transfer clock is transmitted from the display apparatus so as to synchronize the four video signals. In another mode, the transfer clock is so controlled as to enlarge a video signal which corresponds to an image for the 1/4 region of the reproducing signal and display the image on the entire part of the reproducing screen.

摘要:
In solid-state image sensing apparatus including a frame transfer type CCD 10 as a solid-state image sensing device, charges stored in a light receiving portion 11 are once discharged externally in each vertical scanning period. Thereafter, newly stored charges are read as signal charges in a storage portion 12 in a vertical blanking period. Timing to discharge the charges is then set in accordance with an exposure state of the CCD, so that an exposure period is shortened and expanded. The width of a single shortening and expansion of the exposure period is variable. Particularly, when the charge discharging timing enters in the vertical blanking period, and the exposure period becomes significantly short, the charge discharging timing is set in a unit of a shorter period than one horizontal period of an image signal. This enables a uniform ratio of variation of the exposure period and prevention of unnatural changes of luminance on a reproduced picture.
