Focal plane shutter, imaging device and digital camera

摘要

A focal plane shutter includes: a board including an opening; a leading shutter and a trailing shutter opening and closing the opening; first and second biasing members respectively biasing the leading shutter and the trailing shutter to move away from the opening; a first actuator causing the leading shutter to move from a position to close the opening to a position to recede from the opening while the leading shutter is assisted by a biasing force of the first biasing member in an exposure operation; and a second actuator causing the trailing shutter to move from a position to recede from the opening to a position to close the opening against a biasing force of the second biasing member in the exposure operation, wherein drive torque of the first actuator is smaller than that of the second actuator.

1. A focal plane shutter comprising:
a board including an opening; a leading shutter and a trailing shutter opening and closing the opening; first and second arms respectively connected to the leading shutter and the trailing shutter; first and second biasing members respectively maintaining the leading shutter and the trailing shutter in a fully opened state; a first actuator causing the leading shutter to move from a position to close the opening to a position to recede from the opening while the leading shutter is assisted by a biasing force of the first biasing member in an exposure operation; and a second actuator causing the trailing shutter to move from a position to recede from the opening to a position to close the opening against a biasing force of the second biasing member in the exposure operation, wherein drive torque of the first actuator is smaller than that of the second actuator, and wherein the first and second actuators include first and second rotors for moving the leading shutter and the trailing shutter, respectively.
