ND filter and television camera, and manufacturing method of ND filter

摘要

The present invention provides an ND filter and a television camera which can obtain a video with favorable quality which does not give sense of discomfort to viewers, and a manufacturing method of the ND filter. In an ND filter (10) of the present invention, a first region (34) with a light transmittance of about 100% and a second region (36) with a light transmittance continuously changing stepwise are continuously formed in a circumferential direction of a transparent glass board (32) formed in a disk shape. Therefore, image light transmits through all regions of the transparent glass board (32). Thereby, at the time of operation of light amount regulation, a region through which the image light does not transmit does not traverse a passage area (50) of the image light, and therefore, a screen does not become dark momentarily at the time of operation of light amount regulation. Therefore, by using the ND filter (10), a video with favorable quality without giving sense of discomfort to viewers can be obtained.
