PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electret shutter that is actually mountable in a camera or the like, is small and has a simple structure, and also to provide an imaging module. SOLUTION: An electret shutter unit 10 includes: an almost semicircular stator 11 having a specific aperture 13 in it and a plurality of drive electrodes 12 on the surface of its outer peripheral part; and a moving element 15 attached to the center of the stator 11 so as to be rotatable. The moving element 15 is disposed in a plane opposite the drive electrodes 12 of the stator 11 such that a distance between them is kept predetermined. Electrets, or permanently polarized dielectrics, are fixed to the moving element 15 and on the side of the stator 11. The moving element 15 moves forward and backward with respect to the aperture 13, thereby uncovering and covering the aperture 13. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
