[0020] First, an overview of the technology of the present disclosure will be described. An imaging device according to the technology of the present disclosure includes a monitor unit on a main body, and the monitor unit has one display device, and the one display member has a first display region and a second display region as display regions. The imaging device according to the technology of the present disclosure also includes a cover member, and the cover member has a first opening and a second opening that separate and expose the first display region and the second display region, respectively. With this configuration, a user who views two images displayed in the first display region and the second display region can easily visually grasp the difference between the two images.

[0021] Hereinafter, embodiments of the technology of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a front view of a digital camera 10 according to an embodiment, as seen from the front side, and Fig. 2 is a rear view of the digital camera 10 as seen from the rear side. The digital camera 10 is an example of an imaging device of the present invention.

[0022] The front side mentioned above is the side that faces the subject when capturing an image of the subject with digital camera 10, and the back side mentioned above is the side opposite to the front side, that faces the user handling digital camera 10.

[0023] 1 and 2, the digital camera 10 includes a housing, that is, a main body 12. The main body 12 has a main body rear surface 14, a main body front surface 16 opposite the main body rear surface 14, and a main body top surface 18, that is, an upper surface.

[0024] A monitor unit 50 (described later) is provided on the rear surface 14 of the main body. The monitor unit 50 has two display areas: a display area 52 and a display area 54.

[0025] Also provided on the back surface 14 of the main body are a viewfinder 20, a slide switch 22 for switching the imaging mode (also called the shooting mode) between still images (STILL) and moving images (MOVIE), and a play button 24 for instructing playback of still images or moving images. The back surface 14 of the main body is an example of the back surface of the main body of the present invention.

[0026] A lens unit 26 and a strobe light emitting unit 28 are provided on the front body 16. The lens unit 26 has an optical axis P, which is the imaging optical axis. The lens unit 26 may be an exchangeable unit that is detachable from the main body 12, or may be configured as an integral part of the main body 12 and not detachable. The strobe light emitting unit 28 automatically emits light when the amount of light for imaging is insufficient, or forcibly emits light when strobe light emission is instructed. The front body 16, the lens unit 26, and the optical axis P are examples of the front body, lens unit, and optical axis of the present invention, respectively.

[0027] A release button 30 and a dial 32 are provided on the top surface 18 of the main body. The release button 30 can be pressed halfway or all the way by the user. Pressing the release button 30 halfway puts the digital camera 10 into a shooting preparation state, and pressing it all the way puts it into a shooting start state.

[0028] The dial 32 is operated by the user to set the operation mode of the imaging system and the playback system. By operating the dial 32, the digital camera 10 is selectively set to, for example, an imaging mode, a playback mode, or a setting mode as the operation mode.

[0029] The imaging mode is an operation mode that causes the digital camera 10 to capture still images or videos. The playback mode is an operation mode that causes the digital camera 10 to play back still images or videos captured in the imaging mode. The setting mode is an operation mode that causes the digital camera 10 to set various setting values ​​related to imaging. Note that the operation modes that can be set by operating the dial 32 are not limited to the above three modes.

[0030] Although not shown, the digital camera 10 includes a controller. The controller is built into the main body 12 and controls the entire digital camera 10.

[0031] An image sensor (not shown) is also provided in the main body 12. One example of the image sensor is a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) image sensor. Subject light is focused on the light receiving surface of the CMOS image sensor via the optical system of the lens unit 26, and image data representing the subject image is generated by the CMOS image sensor. Note that the image sensor is not limited to a CMOS image sensor, and may be another type of image sensor, such as a CCD (Charge Coupled Devices) image sensor.

[0032] [Monitor section] Next, we will explain the monitor unit 50 provided on the main body rear surface 14. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the monitor unit 50, and Fig. 4 is an assembled perspective view showing the multiple parts that make up the monitor unit 50 shown in Fig. 3, separated from each other.

[0033] 3 and 4, the monitor unit 50 includes one display device 60 and two glass plates 70 and 72. Also shown in Figures 3 and 4 is a cover member 80 included in the digital camera 10, which is fixed to the monitor unit 50 as described below.

[0034] FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the monitor unit 50 without the cover member 80, and FIG. 6 is an assembled perspective view showing the multiple components that make up the monitor unit 50 shown in FIG. 5 separated from one another.

[0035] As shown in the assembled perspective views of FIGS. 4 and 6, the display device 60 has a display member 62 and a touch panel member 64. The display device 60 is configured by laminating the touch panel member 64 on the surface (the surface on the display area side) of the display member 62. This provides the display device 60 with a touch panel function due to the touch panel member 64. Note that the configuration of the touch panel member 60 in this embodiment is just an example, and the touch panel member 64 may be disposed in any position as long as the display member 60 has a touch panel function.

[0036] The display device 60 of this example is an on-cell type in which a touch panel member 64 is laminated on the display area side surface of a display member 62. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, an in-cell type display device can also be applied.

[0037] <Display components> The display member 62 is, for example, a rectangular liquid crystal display, but is not limited to a liquid crystal display and may be another type of display such as an EL display (for example, an organic EL display or an inorganic EL display).

[0038] Display area 52 and display area 54 are provided spaced apart from each other on display member 62. When main body rear surface 14 is viewed in a direction along optical axis P, display area 52 is provided in a part of the left half of the entire area of ​​display member 62, and display area 54 is provided in a part of the right half of the entire area of ​​display member 62.

[0039] In this example, the entire area of ​​the display member 62 is not configured as a display area, but two areas spaced apart on the left and right of the entire area are configured as display areas 52 and 54. As a result, two display areas 52 and 54 are provided on one display member 62. The display area 52 and the display area 54 are examples of the first display area and the second display area, respectively, of the present invention.

[0040] In the display area 54, for example, the following images and text information are displayed:

[0041] For example, when the imaging mode is selected as the operating mode of the digital camera 10, a live view image is displayed in the display area 54. A live view image is an image based on imaging data obtained by capturing an image with an image sensor.

[0042] Furthermore, when a command to capture a still image is given to the digital camera 10 by fully pressing the release button 30, a still image is displayed in the display area 54. A still image is an image based on image data obtained by capturing an image using an image sensor. In this case, the captured image is displayed in the display area 54 with, for example, a portrait aspect ratio. As an example, this captured image corresponds to an aspect ratio of half the size obtained by dividing an L-size image into two.

[0043] Furthermore, when the playback mode is selected as the operating mode of the digital camera 10, a playback image is displayed in the display area 54. The playback image is a still image or a moving image stored in an image storage medium built into the main body 12 or an external storage medium attached to the main body 12.

[0044] Furthermore, when the setting mode is selected as the operating mode of the digital camera 10, the display area 54 displays a menu screen on which various menus can be selected, and a setting image for setting various setting values ​​related to image capture.

[0045] On the other hand, the following image is displayed in the display area 52, for example.

[0046] For example, when an imaging mode is selected as the operation mode of the digital camera 10, an image such as letters or symbols indicating information related to imaging (e.g., auto mode, scene mode, backlight mode, etc.) is displayed in the display area 52. The image displayed in the display area 52 is not limited to information related to imaging; for example, when a playback mode is selected as the operation mode, information related to the playback mode may be displayed, or when a setting mode is selected as the operation mode, information related to the setting mode may be displayed.

[0047] The image displayed in the display area 52 is not limited to the information indicating the mode as described above, and may be, for example, a moving image or a still image captured by an image sensor. In this case, for example, it is also possible to display in the display area 52 an image with a different magnification from the moving image and still image displayed in the display area 54.

[0048] In this example, display area 52 is, for example, a vertically elongated oval display area. In addition, display area 54 is, for example, a vertically elongated rectangular display area that is larger in area than display area 52. However, this is not a limitation, and display area 52 and display area 54 may have any size and shape.

[0049] <Touch panel components> The touch panel member 64 is a transmissive touch panel configured in a rectangular shape, and is laminated on the surface of the display member 62 on the display area side.

[0050] The touch panel member 64 receives various instructions from the user when it detects contact with a pointing member such as a finger or a stylus pen. The various instructions include, for example, an instruction to display a menu screen, an instruction to select one or more menus, an instruction to confirm the selection, an instruction to erase the selection, an instruction to zoom in, zoom out, and frame-by-frame advance.

[0051] <Glass plate> The glass plate 70 and the glass plate 72 are, for example, glass plates with high transparency and strength. The glass plate 70 has a vertically elongated elliptical shape that is the same in size and shape as the display area 52, and the glass plate 72 has a vertically elongated rectangular shape that is the same in size and shape as the display area 54.

[0052] The glass plate 70 and the glass plate 72 are respectively stacked on the display area 52 and the display area 54 with the touch panel member 64 sandwiched therebetween. That is, the glass plate 70 corresponding to the display area 52 and the glass plate 72 corresponding to the display area 54 are stacked on the surface of the display device 60. When the touch panel member 64 receives instructions from a user, the glass plate 70 and the glass plate 72 each function as an operation input member. The glass plate 70 and the glass plate 72 are respectively examples of the first operation input member and the second operation input member of the present invention, and are examples of the glass member of the present invention.

[0053] <Cover member> As shown in Figures 3 and 4, cover member 80 is a member that constitutes part of main body rear surface 14. Cover member 80 has openings 82 and 84 that separate and expose display area 52 and display area 54, respectively. Opening 82 is a vertically elongated oval shape that is the same in size and shape as display area 52, and opening 84 is a vertically elongated rectangular shape that is the same in size and shape as display area 54. Opening 82 has a smaller area than opening 84. Opening 82 and opening 84 are examples of the first opening and second opening of the present invention, respectively.

[0054] When an image is displayed in display area 52, the user can view the image displayed in display area 52 through opening 82, which passes through touch panel member 64 and glass plate 70. When an image is displayed in display area 54, the user can view the image displayed in display area 54 through opening 84, which passes through touch panel member 64 and glass plate 72.

[0055] The cover member 80 has a plate-shaped cover base material 86 made of resin or metal, and a leather sheet 88 attached to the surface of the cover base material 86. A user holding the body 12 of the digital camera 10 can improve their grip on the body 12 by touching the sheet 88. Note that while the sheet 88 on the left side of the opening 84 is shown in Figures 3 and 4, the sheet 88 on the right side of the opening 84 is not shown.

[0056] Double-sided adhesive tapes 90A, 90B, 90C, 90D, and 90E are provided between the cover member 80 (cover base material 86) and the display device 60 to fix the cover member 80 and the display device 60 to each other. Therefore, the cover member 80 is fixed to the touch panel member 64 of the display device 60 by the double-sided adhesive tapes 90A to 90E. Each of the double-sided adhesive tapes 90A to 90E is in the shape of a strip.

[0057] Of the double-sided adhesive tapes 90A to 90E, four double-sided adhesive tapes 90A to 90D are adhered along the four sides of the touch panel member 64, and one double-sided adhesive tape 90E is adhered along an imaginary line (not shown) that divides the entire area of ​​the touch panel member 64 into left and right sides.

[0058] The double-sided adhesive tape 90E divides the entire area of ​​the touch panel member 64 into a left-half area 64A that is laminated on the display area 52 side and a right-half area 64B that is laminated on the display area 54 side. The double-sided adhesive tapes 90A to 90E are attached to the flat surface of the touch panel member 64 on which the glass plates 70 and 72 are not laminated.

[0059] The cover member 80 is adhered and fixed to the touch panel member 64 by five double-sided adhesive tapes 90A to 90E. In this case, the four double-sided adhesive tapes 90A to 90D can prevent the intrusion of dust or mist that attempts to infiltrate from outside the four sides of the touch panel member 64 toward the areas 64A and 64B of the touch panel member 64. Furthermore, the single double-sided adhesive tape 90E can prevent the intrusion of dust or mist that attempts to infiltrate from the opening 84 toward the area 64A of the touch panel member 64.

[0060] FIG. 7 is an enlarged perspective view of a main part showing a state in which the cover member 80 is adhered and fixed to the touch panel member 64 by the double-sided adhesive tape 90E.

[0061] As shown in Fig. 7, a gap G is generated between the cover member 80 and the touch panel member 64 (area 64A) by the thickness of the double-sided adhesive tape 90E, but this gap G is sealed by the double-sided adhesive tapes 90A, 90B, 90C, and 90E shown in Fig. 4. This makes it possible to prevent the intrusion of dust or mist that would otherwise try to infiltrate the gap G from the outside.

[0062] The double-sided adhesive tapes 90A to 90E are an example of the fixing member of the present invention, and are an example of the double-sided adhesive tape of the present invention. That is, in this example, the double-sided adhesive tapes 90A to 90E are exemplified as the fixing member, but the fixing member is not limited to this, and any adhesive may be used as the fixing member as long as it can fix the cover member 80 to the touch panel member 64.

[0063] According to the digital camera 10 of the embodiment configured as described above, the monitor unit 50 is provided on the rear surface 14 of the main body, and the monitor unit 50 has one display device 60, which has display area 52 and display area 54. The digital camera 10 also has a cover member 80, which has openings 82 and 82 that separate and expose the display area 52 and display area 54, respectively. With this configuration, a user who views two images displayed in the display area 52 and display area 54 can easily visually grasp the difference between the two images.

[0064] Furthermore, the images displayed in display area 52 and display area 54 are visually recognized by the user through openings 82 and 84, respectively. At this time, if the opening edges of openings 82 and 84 have a stepped shape (see FIG. 3) in which the opening area decreases toward touch panel member 64, the opening edges look like window frames, emphasizing the two images, and as a result, the difference between the two images can be more easily grasped.

[0065] On the other hand, when configuring a monitor unit with two display areas on the back of the main body, a monitor unit would conventionally be configured using two display devices for each display area. In contrast, in digital camera 10 of this embodiment, monitor unit 50 is configured by providing two display areas 52, 54 on a single display device 60.

[0066] As a result, compared to conventional digital cameras in which two display devices are attached to the main body of the digital camera to form a monitor unit, the digital camera 10 of the embodiment can form a monitor unit 50 having two display areas 52, 54 by attaching one display device 60 to the main body 12, thereby improving the ease of assembling the monitor unit 50.

[0067] Furthermore, according to the digital camera 10 of the embodiment, the display device 60 with a touch panel function is used as the display device, which makes it easier for the digital camera 10 to receive instructions from the user. This improves the operability of the digital camera 10.

[0068] Furthermore, according to the embodiment of the digital camera 10, a configuration is adopted in which a glass plate 70 corresponding to the display area 52 and a glass plate 72 corresponding to the display area 54 are laminated on the surface of the display device 60, so that the display areas 52 and 54 can be protected by the glass plates 70 and 72.

[0069] Furthermore, according to the digital camera 10 of the embodiment, the monitor unit 50 and the cover member 80 are fixed together with the double-sided adhesive tapes 90A to 90E, which improves the workability of assembling the cover member 80 to the monitor unit 50.

[0070] Next, preferred positions of the opening 82 (corresponding to the display area 52) and the opening 84 (corresponding to the display area 54) on the rear surface 14 of the main body will be described.

[0071] Figure 8 is a rear view of digital camera 10 showing the positions of openings 82 and 84 relative to main body rear surface 14. Note that Figure 8 is the same drawing as Figure 2, but only the necessary reference numerals are used to compare with Figure 2 in order to easily explain the above-mentioned positions.

[0072] 8, when the rear body 14 is viewed in a direction along the optical axis P, in other words, when the rear body 14 is viewed with the direction of the optical axis P parallel to the horizontal, the viewfinder 20 is located in the upper left corner of the rear body 14, and an opening 82 is located below the viewfinder 20. In addition, an opening 84 is located to the right of the opening 82, and the optical axis P is located within the opening 84.

[0073] By arranging opening 82 at the above position, a user looking through viewfinder 20 can check the imaging information displayed in display area 52 simply by shifting their line of sight vertically downward. Furthermore, by arranging opening 84 at the above position, a user who has checked the imaging information can check the captured image displayed in display area 54 through opening 84 simply by shifting their line of sight horizontally to the right. In this case, because optical axis P is located within opening 84, the user can easily check the position of the subject relative to the user. As a result, the operability of digital camera 10 for the user is improved.

[0074] A preferred arrangement of the opening 82 is that the opening 82 is provided on a vertical axis V1 passing through the viewfinder section 20. In other words, the opening 82 and the viewfinder section 20 are preferably provided so as to include the same vertical axis V1. The vertical axis V1 is an axis along the vertical direction among multiple axes along directions intersecting the optical axis P, and is an example of the first axis of the present invention.

[0075] Furthermore, a more preferable arrangement form of the position of the opening 82 is that the center of gravity C1 of the opening 82 is provided on the vertical axis V1 passing through the center of gravity C2 of the viewfinder unit 20. In this case, the center of gravity C1 is the center of gravity when the opening 82 is assumed to be rectangular, and the center of gravity C2 is the center of gravity when the viewfinder unit 20 is assumed to be square or rectangular.

[0076] On the other hand, a preferred positioning form of the opening 84 is that the center of gravity C3 of the opening 84 is located on the vertical line V2 passing through the optical axis P, and a more preferred positioning form of the opening 84 is that the center of gravity C3 of the opening 84 is located at a position that coincides with the optical axis P.

[0077] By arranging the openings 82 and 84 in the above-described preferred positions, the operability of the digital camera 10 is further improved.

[0078] 8, in the digital camera 10 of the embodiment, the viewfinder 20 is located in the upper left corner of the rear surface 14 of the body, the opening 82 is located below the viewfinder 20 along the vertical axis V1, and the opening 84 is located to the right of the opening 82. However, this is not limited to this. For example, the viewfinder 20 may be located in the upper right corner of the rear surface 14 of the body, the opening 82 may be located below the viewfinder 20 along the vertical axis V1, and the opening 84 may be located to the left of the opening 82. Furthermore, while the digital camera 10 has been illustrated as having the monitor 50 on the rear surface 14 of the body, the location of the monitor 50 is not limited to the rear surface 14 of the body, as long as the monitor 50 is provided on the body. Furthermore, a display device without a touch panel function may be used as the display device.

[0079] The digital camera 10 has been described as an example of an imaging device of the present invention, but the present invention may be improved or modified in several ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
