An electronic outer mirror device includes a camera to assist visual recognition by an occupant of a vehicle, a visor configured to house the camera, and a base configured to support the visor such that the visor is capable of moving. The electronic outer mirror device further includes a first tube that is provided on the base side and through which passes a fluid to be ejected onto the camera in order to secure a field of view of the camera. The electronic outer mirror device further includes a second tube that is provided on the visor side such that when the visor is positioned at a predetermined position with respect to the base a base side of the second tube is connected to the first tube so as to enable passage of the fluid from the first tube, and when the visor is positioned at a different position from the predetermined position with respect to the base the base side of the second tube is disconnected from the first tube.

An imaging apparatus includes an optical member, a housing, and a light source. The optical member contains a photocatalyst film on an object-side surface. The housing contains an accommodation section in which the optical member is accommodated. The light source is located in an internal space of the housing and emits light to activate the photocatalyst film. The light from the light source passes through the optical member and irradiates the photocatalyst film.

In an imaging device, a heater heats cover glass from an outer circumferential side thereof. Here, a first heating area and a second heating area are provided respectively on a lower side and an upper side of the heater, and a heating density of the first heating area is greater than a heating density of the second heating area. Consequently, when defrosting the cover glass, it is possible to inhibit water droplets from remaining in a central portion of the cover glass and in an upper-side portion thereof above this central portion, and to inhibit water droplets from being present in the central portion of the cover glass.

An electromagnetic wave utilization system for a vehicle includes an electromagnetic wave device that sends or/and receives an electromagnetic wave, and a passage part through which passes the electromagnetic wave utilized by the electromagnetic wave device. The passage part has a hydrophilic portion having hydrophilicity. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress fogging of the passage part through which the electromagnetic wave passes with a simple configuration.
