    Abstract: An imaging device includes a pixel and a voltage generation circuit. The pixel is configured to operate based on a power source voltage and a reference voltage that is lower than the power source voltage and is higher than or equal to a ground voltage. The voltage generation circuit is configured to generate a predetermined positive voltage that is higher than the reference voltage and is lower than the power source voltage. A transfer transistor of the pixel is formed on a well. The predetermined positive voltage is applied to the well. The transfer transistor is configured to operate based on the power source voltage and the reference voltage.

    Abstract: An imaging device includes a camera unit and a control unit. A first power source voltage is transferred from the camera unit to the control unit by a power source line and is input to the camera unit as a second power source voltage. The camera unit consumes the second power source voltage as a load current in a voltage-monitoring period. The control unit measures a value of the second power source voltage transferred from the camera unit by the video signal line in the voltage-monitoring period. The control unit adjusts a value of the first power source voltage in the video output period based on the measured value.

    Abstract: An endoscope connection mechanism includes a connection pipe sleeve including a hole having an axis, and a first optical shutter movable between a first state and a second state. The first optical shutter includes a first, a second and a third portions. The first portion includes a first end fixed to a base portion of the first optical shutter, and a second end provided distally relative to the first end. The second portion includes a third end connecting to the second end, and a fourth end provided distally relative to the third end. The third portion includes a fifth end connecting to the fourth end, and a sixth end provided distally relative to the fifth end. In the first state, the third portion is positioned to intersect the axis of the hole, and in the second state, the third portion is positioned not to intersect the axis of the hole.
