An endoscope optical system is capable of obtaining favorable endoscopic images at all times by overcoming the conventional disadvantages that diagnosis is hindered by image quality disturbance due to the increase in pixel density resulting from the reduction in pixel pitch of solid-state image pickup devices and also due to the conventional arrangement of an objective front optical element in an optical system having a short focal length or in an optical system having a large F-number. In an image pickup apparatus using a monochromatic high-density solid-state image pickup device in which the average pixel pitch (H+V)/2 of the pixel pitch H in the horizontal direction and the pixel pitch V in the vertical direction with respect to the monitor scanning line is not more than 4.65 μm, or using an interline type color high-density solid-state image pickup device in which the average pixel pitch (H+V)/2 is not more than 3.1 μm, the volume V₁ of an air layer between a plane-parallel plate (F1) closest to the object side in the image pickup optical system and a piano-concave negative lens (L1) satisfies the following condition:

In displaying a price label, the price can be displayed at low resolution without any problem, but a bar code requires a high resolution display. In view of this, the invention provides an electrode structure for a display apparatus that can suppress increases in cost and power consumption while preventing image quality degradation, even when a low-resolution display area and a high-resolution display area are mixed on the same display. A liquid crystal panel 10 has a main display section 11 and a sub-display section 12. In the main display section 11, pixels are arranged in a matrix pattern. In the sub display section 12, rectangle-shaped pixels are arranged in a single row, and the pixel pitch in the sub display section 12 is m/n of that in the main display section 11 (n and m are integers).

In a solid-state image pickup device in which a large number of photoelectric converters are disposed in a shifted-pixel layout, a charge transfer channel configuring a vertical transfer CCD includes a section having a first width and being contiguous to a readout gate region and a section having a second width and being separated therefrom. The first width is less than the second width. Alternatively, a relative positional relationship between each photoelectric converter and the readout gate region corresponding thereto is fixed for all pixels. This makes it possible to easily prevent the event in which the light collecting efficiency and sensitivity of each pixel vary between two adjacent pixel rows. It is also possible to increase the pixel density while suppressing the decrease in area of the light receiving section of each pixel.
