Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An image-capturing apparatus including an imaging device to convert light into an electrical signal; a vibration plate disposed in front of the imaging device to transmit the light to the imaging device; a vibration generating unit mounted on the vibration plate and to generate a vibration when a driving signal is input to the vibration generating unit; and a vibration partitioning unit mounted on at least one of the vibration plate or the vibration generating unit to asymmetrically deliver the generated vibration to the vibration plate.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An image-capturing apparatus comprising: an imaging device to convert light into an electrical signal; a vibration plate disposed in front of the imaging device to transmit the light to the imaging device; a vibration generating unit mounted on the vibration plate to generate a vibration when a driving signal is input to the vibration generating unit; and a vibration partitioning unit mounted at a location asymmetrically offset from a symmetry line on…
