An image capturing lens assembly includes, in order from an object side to an image side: a first lens element; a second lens element; a third lens element; a fourth lens element having positive refractive power; a fifth lens element having both an object-side surface and an image-side surface being aspheric; and a sixth lens element having both an object-side surface and an image-side surface being aspheric, the image-side surface being concave, and at least one inflection point on the image-side surface. There are a total of six lens elements.

A development apparatus comprises an auger conveyor member of stirring and conveying a developer, the gravity of the developer being eccentrically distributed with respect to a center of rotation, a drive transfer member of driving and rotating the auger conveyor member, the drive transfer member being capable of being engaged and disengaged, and a rotation detector of detecting a rotational state of the auger conveyor member. The remaining amount of the developer is detected based on the rotational state detected by the rotation detector. Alternatively, a development apparatus comprises the auger conveyor member and the drive transfer member, in which the eccentric gravity distribution is achieved by a rod-like weight member eccentrically provided with respect to a rotational axis, the auger conveyor member includes a first coil spring having an inner diameter larger than an outer diameter of the weight member, and the first coil spring is inserted around the weight member in a manner which allows the first coil spring to be rotated and limits an angle of rotation of the first coil spring to a predetermined angle. Alternatively, a development apparatus comprises the auger conveyor member and the drive transfer member, in which the auger conveyor member is provided near a development supply roller, and a uniforming member of making the developer uniform is provided in a space portion between the development supply roller and the auger conveyor member.

An semi-transmissive liquid crystal display panel is provided with a first substrate divided into sections by signal lines and scan lines arranged so as to form a matrix, each section having a switching element and a pixel electrode, the pixel electrode having transmissive and reflective portions. Here, at least the reflective portion of the first substrate has an interlayer film formed therein for separating the pixel electrode and the switching element, and a reflecting layer located below the pixel electrode, the reflecting layer has a notch portion at the edge thereof, and the pixel electrode formed in the reflective portion is electrically connected to an electrode of the switching element via a contact hole that is formed through the interlayer film in a part thereof corresponding to the notch portion.

An imaging element which outputs a pair of image signals corresponding to a pair of luminous fluxes which pass through different pupil areas of a photographing optical system, the imaging element includes a first pixel cell group including a plurality of first pixel cells for obtaining the pair of image signals and a second pixel cell group including a plurality of second pixel cells for obtaining the pair of image signals. The first pixel cell includes a first photoelectric converting unit and a first micro lens which is provided above the first photoelectric converting unit. The second pixel cell includes a second photoelectric converting unit and a second micro lens which is provided above the second photoelectric converting unit. The first micro lens and the second micro lens are disposed with different regularities.

Image correction methods and systems are disclosed that correct raw values, including, subsequent to closing the shutter, acquiring a current raw value table, determining an offset correction table for the current temperature of the detector as a function of the current table and a set of stored raw value tables, and correcting the stream of raw values using the offset correction table. A maintenance process includes testing a condition for replacing a table of the current set with the current table, and if the condition is met, replacing the table of the current set with the current table. This test includes determining whether there is a new set of tables obtained by replacing a table from the current set with the current table that is more relevant than the current set with regard to subsequently determining an offset table.

A photographing optical lens assembly includes seven lens elements, the seven lens elements being, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens element, a second lens element, a third lens element, a fourth lens element, a fifth lens element, a sixth lens element and a seventh lens element. The first lens element has negative refractive power. The second lens element has negative refractive power. The third lens element has an object-side surface being concave in a paraxial region thereof. The fourth lens element has an image-side surface being convex in a paraxial region thereof.
