Description

本発明は撮像装置に係り、特に撮像レンズと撮像素子間の光路中に挿入する光学フィルタの取付構造に関する。   The present invention relates to an imaging apparatus, and more particularly, to an optical filter mounting structure that is inserted into an optical path between an imaging lens and an imaging element.

近年、固体撮像素子を使用するテレビジョンカメラでは、固体撮像素子受光面に微細な受光素子が規則正しく配列され、光学像を2次元的にサンプリングすることによって画像信号を得ている。しかし、このサンプリングのために細かい被写体を撮影したときモアレが発生して偽信号が現れることがある。   In recent years, in a television camera using a solid-state image sensor, fine light-receiving elements are regularly arranged on the light-receiving surface of the solid-state image sensor, and an image signal is obtained by sampling an optical image two-dimensionally. However, when a fine subject is photographed for this sampling, moire may occur and a false signal may appear.

この現象を避けるために、光学ローパスフィルタを撮像レンズと固体撮像素子間に配置している。前記光学ローパスフィルタには複屈折を利用した水晶ローパスフィルタを所望の方向で薄くカットして利用されている。   In order to avoid this phenomenon, an optical low-pass filter is disposed between the imaging lens and the solid-state imaging device. As the optical low-pass filter, a crystal low-pass filter using birefringence is thinly cut in a desired direction.

一方、固体撮像素子の高画素化が図られ、高解像度化とモアレ防止に対応するため、さらに薄くカットした水晶ローパスフィルタを複数枚重ねて使用する場合もあり、また赤外カットフィルタをさらに重装する場合もある。   On the other hand, in order to increase the number of pixels of the solid-state image sensor and to cope with higher resolution and prevention of moire, multiple thin crystal low-pass filters may be used in layers, and an infrared cut filter may be added. There is also a case.

図4(a)の従来例の光学フィルタが装着されたカメラ光学系の断面図、(b)従来例の光学フィルタ正面図及び図5の従来例の光学フィルタが装着されたフィルタ取付枠の斜視図によれば、カメラ光学系1は、カメラフロントパネル2と、センサ基板6に装着された固体撮像素子7間に配設され光学フィルタ5’が装着されたフィルタ取付枠3’と防塵マスク8で構成されている。   4A is a cross-sectional view of a camera optical system on which the conventional optical filter of FIG. 4A is mounted, FIG. 4B is a front view of the optical filter of the conventional example, and a perspective view of a filter mounting frame on which the optical filter of the conventional example of FIG. According to the figure, the camera optical system 1 is arranged between a camera front panel 2 and a solid-state image sensor 7 mounted on a sensor substrate 6 and a filter mounting frame 3 ′ mounted with an optical filter 5 ′ and a dust mask 8. It consists of

カメラフロントパネル2には図示しない撮像レンズが装着され、該撮像レンズで撮像された被写体像は前記光学フィルタ5’を介して固体撮像素子7の受光面に結像される。   An imaging lens (not shown) is mounted on the camera front panel 2, and a subject image captured by the imaging lens is formed on the light receiving surface of the solid-state imaging device 7 through the optical filter 5 '.

光学フィルタ5’は、フィルタ取付枠3’に穿設されたフィルタ用孔3”に装着され、フィルタ止め枠4’に当接し、その周囲の当接面11を接着材等で貼着されている。
公開特許公報2006−100878号
The optical filter 5 ′ is attached to the filter hole 3 ″ formed in the filter mounting frame 3 ′, abuts against the filter retaining frame 4 ′, and the abutting contact surface 11 thereof is adhered with an adhesive or the like. Yes.
Published Patent Publication No. 2006-1000087

ここで、図で示すように、光学フィルタ5’のその表面とフィルタ止め枠4’の開口部に段差10が生じているため、清掃しにくく、刷毛や布でフィルタ面を清掃したり、乾燥空気を吹き付けても段差10部分にゴミが残る危険があり、残ったゴミが後日フィルタ面に付着し、画面に黒傷として現れる不具合を生ずる場合がある。   Here, as shown in the figure, since a step 10 is formed on the surface of the optical filter 5 ′ and the opening of the filter retaining frame 4 ′, it is difficult to clean, and the filter surface can be cleaned with a brush or cloth or dried. Even if air is blown, there is a risk that dust may remain on the step 10 portion, and the remaining dust may adhere to the filter surface at a later date, resulting in a defect that appears as black scratches on the screen.

また、特許文献1に示すように、光学フィルタ装着後、その上からフィルタ止め枠に当接し固定するが、フィルタ止め枠の開口部分と光学フィルタ表面に段差が生じているため、刷毛や布でフィルタ面を清掃したり、乾燥空気を吹き付けても段差部分にゴミが残る危険があり、残ったゴミが後日フィルタ面に付着し、画面に黒傷として現れる不具合を生ずる場合がある。   Also, as shown in Patent Document 1, after mounting the optical filter, the filter stop frame is contacted and fixed from above, but there is a step between the opening of the filter stop frame and the surface of the optical filter. Even if the filter surface is cleaned or dry air is blown, there is a risk that dust may remain on the stepped portion, and the remaining dust may adhere to the filter surface at a later date, resulting in a defect that appears as black scratches on the screen.

カメラフロントパネル2には図示しない撮像レンズが装着され、該撮像レンズで撮像された被写体像は前記光学フィルタ5を介して固体撮像素子7の受光面に結像される。   An imaging lens (not shown) is attached to the camera front panel 2, and a subject image captured by the imaging lens is formed on the light receiving surface of the solid-state imaging device 7 through the optical filter 5.

図1において、前記光学フィルタ5をフィルタ取付枠3に穿設されたフィルタ用孔3”に挿入してフィルタ止め枠4に当接するよう装着し、必要に応じてその周囲を接着材等で貼着している。   In FIG. 1, the optical filter 5 is inserted into a filter hole 3 "formed in the filter mounting frame 3 so as to come into contact with the filter retaining frame 4, and the periphery thereof is adhered with an adhesive or the like as necessary. I wear it.

ここで、前記3枚の光学フィルタ5a、5b、5cが重装された光学フィルタ5は、該光学フィルタ5の前記撮像レンズ側、又は固体撮像素子7側のいずれか一方、又は双方の表面が前記フィルタ取付枠3の光軸方向の表面と一致、又は1枚以下の厚みとなるように、例えば、最適値としては0.15mm以上突出するように装着されている。   Here, the optical filter 5 on which the three optical filters 5a, 5b, and 5c are overlaid has either one or both surfaces of the optical filter 5 on the imaging lens side or the solid-state imaging device 7 side. For example, as an optimum value, the filter mounting frame 3 is mounted so as to protrude by 0.15 mm or more so as to coincide with the surface in the optical axis direction of the filter mounting frame 3 or to have a thickness of one or less.

また、前記3枚重装された図2(a)に示す四角形状光学フィルタ5又は図2(b)に示す円形状光学フィルタ5が、該光学フィルタ5を構成する光学フィルタ5a、5b、5cの少なくとも1枚(図1では2枚の光学フィルタ5b、5c)を残し、光学フィルタ5の前記撮像レンズ側、又は固体撮像素子7側のいずれか一方の1枚の撮像に支障ない四角形状の4隅端又は円形状の上下端、左右端のいずれか一方、又は両方の切除部9が平行に切除され、かつ該切除部9に合わせて前記フィルタ取付枠3開口部の枠材のフィルタ止め枠4が残され、前記光学フィルタ5bの切除されていない部分がフィルタ止め枠4に当接するように挿入されている。   Further, the three-layered rectangular optical filter 5 shown in FIG. 2A or the circular optical filter 5 shown in FIG. 2B is an optical filter 5 a, 5 b, 5 c constituting the optical filter 5. 1 (two optical filters 5b and 5c in FIG. 1) are left, and the optical filter 5 has a rectangular shape that does not hinder the imaging of either one of the imaging lens side or the solid-state imaging device 7 side.

It is preferable to fill a resin material or an adhesive as necessary to prevent dust if a gap is generated between the optical filter 5a and the opening of the filter retaining frame 4 when mounted.

さらにまた、同様に前記光学フィルタ5b、5cの切除されていない部分を前記フィルタ取付枠3のフィルタ用孔3”に挿入したとき、光学フィルタ5b、5cの周囲を必要に応じて接着剤等で貼着することが好ましい。   Similarly, when the uncut portions of the optical filters 5b and 5c are inserted into the filter holes 3 '' of the filter mounting frame 3, the periphery of the optical filters 5b and 5c may be adhered with an adhesive or the like as necessary.

本願発明において、固体撮像素子を使用した撮像装置では、水晶ローパスフィルタを使用した前記光学フィルタ群の装着が必然であり、カメラ光学系を組み立てる際の清掃が容易で、フィルタ面にゴミ等が残ることなく、作業性が著しく向上するのみでなく、顧客においても前記光学フィルタ群の清掃が容易となる。   In the present invention, in an imaging apparatus using a solid-state imaging device, the optical filter group using a crystal low-pass filter must be mounted, and cleaning when assembling a camera optical system is easy, and dust or the like remains on the filter surface. Accordingly, not only the workability is remarkably improved, but also the customer can easily clean the optical filter group.
