An auto focus device of a mobile communication apparatus is disclosed. The auto focus device comprises a voice coil motor, a first driving circuit and a second driving circuit. The voice coil motor comprises a floating movable device and a lens in the floating movable device. The first driving circuit drives the voice coil motor so that the floating movable device moves inside the voice coil motor to zoom in/out and focus the lens on image sensors when the camera function is activated. The second driving circuit drives the voice coil motor to fix the floating movable device inside the voice coil motor and cover the image sensors.

In a finder optical system, a primary image is formed by an objective lens on a primary image formation face and is passed via a relay optical system to form a secondary image on a secondary image formation face. This secondary image is observed via an ocular lens system. A diffuser is arranged at the position of the secondary image formation face.

A diffuser panel having a plurality of micro lenses arranged on a surface of a substrate, a half or more of these micro lenses are in a shape which has (2n+1) angles. This diffuser panel provides rays which are uniformly diffused within a diffusion area and a light amount distribution which changes smoothly. This diffuser panel provides a bright image having a naturally blurred impression when the diffuser panel is used as a focusing panel of an optical apparatus.

A focal plate for use in camera and a method of manufacturing the same are disclosed. The focal plate comprises an optical plate, a plurality of lens-like uneven portions regularly formed on the surface of the optical material, and a plurality of fine rugged portions formed on each uneven portion, and is manufactured by forming a pyramid or prism relief on a metal plate through mechanical working, subjecting it to an electroplating to form a honeycomb pattern composed of hexagonal lens faces containing fine rugged portions therein, and then transferring the honeycomb pattern onto a surface of an optical material.

A camera with a non-TTL type finder may avoid a mechanical complexity, may be produced with a gentler standard in dimensional accuracy than conventional cameras of such a type, and may lower consumption of a power battery.A finder focusing dial is manually rotated together with a cam member to swing an interlocking lever. An end of the interlocking lever moves an objective lens frame back and forth. When it is observed that an image of a target subject becomes focused on a finder focusing screen through a finder eye piece, the rotation of the dial is stopped. A focused state detecting device detects a stop position of an objective lens to supply a detection value to a photo-taking optical system focusing amount determining device to determine an amount of focusing. A drive device drives the photo-taking optical system into an in-focus state in accordance with the focusing amount thus determined.

A method of forming a microstructure array suitable for use in the production of a focusing screen used in a finder system of a camera. The focusing screen includes an optical material in plate form having on one surface of a plurality small lens portions that project in a regular array of equilateral triangles from the optical material and each of the which has concentric contour lines, with a central apex. A flat portion is formed between adjacent small lens portions and a constricted portion is formed in the middle portion of the inclined surface of each small lens portion, with an irregular pattern of finer asperities is formed on the surfaces of the small lens portions and the flat portion. The high and low spots can be reversed. The method of forming a microstructure array includes the steps of forming a fine pattern of elements on a layer of light-sensitive material capable of transforming a distribution of light intensity to a surface relief by exposing the layer through a microlens array to rays of light with an intensity distribution corresponding to individual elements of the fine pattern. The microlens array may be replaced with a group of pinholes.
摘要:
A focusing screen for observing an image formed by an objective lens is constructed of a liquid crystal layer, having a dynamic scattering effect, sandwiched between a pair of parallel transparent electrodes. At least one of the transparent electrodes is divided into a plurality of discrete parts. The discrete electrode parts are connected as independent groups through a switch mechanism to a driving circuit. The switch mechanism permits one or more of the groups to act as different elements in response to an applied voltage, depending on the F value of the lens. Accordingly, the scattering degree of the focusing screen varies as a function of the F value and not the applied voltage.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus having a feed section being positioned at the front of the apparatus, a sheet discharging section being positioned above the feed section and a work table being attached to the front of the apparatus in a position above the sheet discharging section. The work table has a rotatable portion which is positioned above the feed section, and which is formed with an opening for taking out the sheet discharged from the discharging section. A support member is provided between the discharging section and the opening for supporting image-transferered sheets. When the rotatable portion is opened upwardly, the work table does not hinder the sheet supplementing work of the operator for the feed section.
