<p>The invention relates to a light control device and an imaging device those are enabled to realize the enhancement of optical functions thereof. <??>The light control device is provided at a front position of an optical lowpass filter 55b in an optical path of an imaging system of an imaging device, and comprises a liquid crystal element and a polarizing plate. Further, the light control device is configured so that the direction of a polarization axis 14 of the polarizing plate and the direction of liquid crystal alignment of the liquid crystal element differ from light ray separation directions of an ordinary ray and an extraordinary ray, which are separated by an optical lowpass filter 55b. <??>The light control device can be applied to the optical diaphragm of the imaging device, such as the CCD camera, MOS image sensor and the like. <IMAGE></p> |
