13を発光させる。The liquid crystal element 1 is a 1/4 multi-drive panel consisting of a common electrode 5 and a segment electrode 6. The light emitted from the lamp 13 through the liquid crystal element 1 transmits and exposes the data of the transmission state of the liquid crystal element 1 on the film. The 1/4 multi-driving liquid crystal drive circuit 2 includes a common driver 7 that drives the common electrode 5 and a segment driver 8 that drives the segment electrode 6. The temperature correction constant voltage circuit 3 has a temperature correction means and a constant voltage means integrated (described later). Reference numeral 4 is a power supply battery. The booster circuit 9 boosts the output voltage 15 (V1) of the temperature-corrected constant voltage circuit 3 to create a double boosted output voltage 16 (V2) and a triple boosted output voltage 17 (V3). V1, V2, and V3 are driving voltages applied and driven to the liquid crystal element 1 via the common driver 7 and the segment driver 8. Data RA
M10 stores the data output to the liquid crystal element. The logic circuit 11 performs necessary circuit control, and the lamp driver 12 causes the lamp driving transistor 14 to cause the lamp 13 to emit light.

変化係数を設計すればよい。Further, in order to correct the decrease in the light transmittance (contrast) of the liquid crystal element at low temperature, the temperature correction is set to a negative gradient (about -7 mV / ° C). The temperature correction method can be arbitrarily designed such as using a temperature sensitive element. In this embodiment, the V of the transistor created by the MOSIC reference voltage
The constant voltage output 15 (V1) is made to have a temperature gradient by utilizing the temperature characteristic difference between THP (P channel) and VTHN (N channel). The specific circuit is well known and therefore omitted. The optimum voltage value in this embodiment is V1 at room temperature.
= 1.7V, V2 = 3.4V, V3 = 5.1V, but the voltage value and the temperature change coefficient may be designed according to the dynamic duty and the characteristics of the liquid crystal.

品質改善に伴い、よりハイデューティーが可能となる。Dynamic driving takes into consideration the quality of transmission contrast (the higher the duty, the worse the quality) and the required amount of pixels (the higher the duty, the more pixels).
1/4 to 1/8 multi-driving is suitable, but with the improvement of the quality of liquid crystal in the future, higher duty becomes possible.

大させることができる。According to the present embodiment, by dynamically driving the liquid crystal element, it is possible to make a pixel corresponding to the duty without increasing the number of segments (for example, in the case of 1/4 multi-driving, 4 times, 1 / 8 times for / 8 multi-drive). In the conventional static drive, only numbers can be driven and only time information can be imprinted, but in the present embodiment, dot characters / graphics can be imprinted. For example, the place name and person name of the commemorative photo, the weather and conditions at the time of shooting can be imprinted, and the recording value of the photo can be increased.

る。It is also possible to reduce the number of segments instead of increasing the number of pixels. In that case, the size of each component is reduced due to a decrease in the number of IC pads, a decrease in the number of substrate patterns (segments), an increase in the pitch margin of the connector with the liquid crystal element, and a decrease in the lead lines (segments) of the liquid crystal element panel. The size can be reduced, the device can be downsized, the cost of parts can be reduced, and the yield of parts and mounting can be improved.
