[0035] figure 1 The first embodiment of the distance measuring device of the present invention is shown. In this embodiment, the present invention is applied to an imaging device including a camera.
[0036] The imaging device includes: an objective lens 11, a polarizing element 13, a liquid crystal rotator 15, a polarization separation element 17, a first imaging element 19, a second imaging element 21, an image processing unit 23, a camera control unit 25, an AF driving mechanism 27, a liquid crystal driving Part 29, image memory 31.
[0037] A polarizing element 13 is provided at the pupil position of the objective lens 11 . The polarizing element 13 is constituted by a polarizing filter for aligning the polarization axis of the light from the objective lens 11 to, for example, P-polarized light.
[0038] The liquid crystal rotator 15 electrically changes the polarization axis of light. Such as figure 2 As shown in (a), the light transmission surface of the liquid cry...

[0050] Figure 4 It shows the second embodiment of the distance measuring device of the present invention. In this embodiment, the present invention is applied to an imaging device including a camera. In addition, in this embodiment, the same code|symbol is attached|subjected to the same element as 1st Embodiment, and detailed description is abbreviate|omitted.
[0051] The imaging device includes: an objective lens 11, a liquid crystal shutter 33, a pupil splitting liquid crystal rotator 35, a polarization separation element 17, a first imaging element 19, a second imaging element 21, an image processing unit 23, a camera control unit 25, and an AF drive mechanism 27 , a liquid crystal drive unit 29 , and an image memory 31 .
[0052] A liquid crystal shutter 33 is provided at the pupil position of the objective lens 11 . The liquid crystal shutter 33 includes a first polarizing element 37 , a pupil mask liquid crystal rotator 39 , and a second polarizing element 41 .

[0072] Figure 9 A third embodiment of the imaging device of the present invention is shown.
[0073] In this embodiment, the drive area of the pupil mask liquid crystal rotator 39A is finely divided.
[0074] Such as Figure 9 As shown in (a), the pupil-mask liquid crystal rotator 39A finely divides the drive area like a general dot-matrix liquid crystal display. More functions can be realized by driving the fine driving area according to the situation.
[0075] (1) if Figure 9 As shown in (b), by setting the same transmission region as a simple fixed pattern, it is possible to function as a pupil mask.
[0076] (2) if Figure 9 As shown in (c), at the time of exposure, the transmissive region is provided as a concentric circle with respect to the optical axis, and can function as a diaphragm.
[0077] (3) if Figure 9 As shown in (d), by adjusting the amount of transmission in the transmission area together with the aperture drive, it is possible to adjust the amou...
