ABSTRACT:
A small-sized diaphragm device for an image pickup lens system having an electrochromic element the light transmitting properties of which are changed on application of an electrical voltage. The diaphragm device also includes a first set of plural concentrically arranged transparent electrodes, a second set of plural concentrically arranged transparent electrodes and third electrodes formed on the outermost peripheries of these sets of transparent electrodes for acting as counter-electrodes for the transparent electrodes. The diaphragm device has a sufficient light transmittance when in the transparent state, while having high light interrupting properties when in the light interrupting state.
