Abstract

There is provided a digital camera including: a body part; a display part; and an angle adjustment mechanism that adjusts an inclination angle of the display part with respect to a connection target surface by rotationally moving about a first rotational movement axis along one side of the body part in a direction view along a direction perpendicular to the connection target surface, in which the body part includes an accommodation portion that accommodates the display part and the angle adjustment mechanism, and a connection portion that is located in the accommodation portion and is connected to a cooling device.

Claims (47)

1 . A display device comprising:

a body part;

a display part; and

an angle adjustment mechanism that adjusts an inclination angle of the display part with respect to a first surface provided on the body part by rotationally moving about a first axis along one side of the body part, viewed in a direction view along a direction perpendicular to the first surface,

wherein the body part includes:

an accommodation portion that accommodates the display part and the angle adjustment mechanism; and

a connection portion that is located in the accommodation portion and is connected to an external cooling member,

wherein the angle adjustment mechanism includes a hinge part,

wherein, in a case where the external cooling member is connected to the connection portion, the hinge part is disposed outside of the external cooling member, viewed in the direction view.

2 . The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein

the hinge part includes:

a fixed portion that is fixed to the accommodation portion; and

a first support portion that supports the display part to be rotationally movable around the first axis, and

the fixed portion is coupled to the first support portion at a position on a side fixed to the accommodation portion, viewed in the direction view.

3 . The display device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the first support portion includes a rotational movement restricting portion that restricts the rotational movement.

4 . The display device according to claim 3 ,

wherein the rotational movement restricting portion restricts the rotational movement by engaging with the fixed portion.

5 . The display device according to claim 4 ,

wherein the fixed portion includes:

a first fixed piece that is fixed to the accommodation portion;

a second fixed piece that is disposed to intersect with the first fixed piece and is coupled to the first support portion; and

an engagement target portion that is formed in a first region connecting the first fixed piece and the second fixed piece, and

the rotational movement restricting portion restricts a rotational movement of the first support portion by engaging with the engagement target portion.

6 . The display device according to claim 5 ,

wherein the engagement target portion is a recessed portion that is formed in the first region and that is recessed in a direction in which the first support portion rotationally moves.

7 . The display device according to claim 6 ,

wherein, in a case where the external cooling member is connected to the connection portion,

a position of at least a part of the hinge part is disposed at a position different from a position of the external cooling member in a first direction orthogonal to the first axis.

8 . The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the hinge part further includes a second support portion that supports the display part,

the second support portion is coupled to the first support portion and makes the display part rotationally movable around a second axis different from the first axis,

the first support portion is rotationally movable around the first axis between a first rotational movement start position and a first rotational movement end position, and

the second support portion is rotationally movable around the second axis between a second rotational movement start position and a second rotational movement end position.

9 . The display device according to claim 8 ,

wherein, in a case where the first support portion is at the first rotational movement end position, and the second support portion is at the second rotational movement end position, the display part is located on a body part side in a first direction orthogonal to the first axis, with respect to an end surface of the body part.

10 . The display device according to claim 8 ,

wherein, in a case where the first support portion is at the first rotational movement end position, and the second support portion is at the second rotational movement start position, the display part is located on a body part side in a first direction orthogonal to the first axis, with respect to an end surface of the body part.

11 . The display device according to claim 8 ,

wherein, in a case where the inclination angle of the display part with respect to the first surface is 45 degrees or more, the connection portion is exposed to an outside and is connectable to the external cooling member.

12 . An imaging apparatus comprising:

a body part;

a lens that is attached to the body part; and

the display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the body part is a body part of the imaging apparatus, and

the first surface is a surface on a side opposite to a surface to which the lens is attached.
