ABSTRACT:
A digital camera includes an imaging unit provided in a camera body to take an image electrically, an optical finder provided at an edge portion of the body, and a display apparatus provided in the body to display the taken image. The display apparatus includes a panel including a display area arranged nearer to a rear surface of the body than the imaging unit in the body, a projection projecting outwardly from a part of a periphery of the display area, a looking-out portion at a predetermined part of the projection, and a pixel drive unit for driving matrix pixels of the display area at the remaining part of the projection. In the body, the area of the panel corresponds to a window formed in the rear surface, the looking-out portion of the projection overlaps with the finder, and the drive unit is arranged in a side of the finder.
