Disease in capsicum

I have looked on several sites for capsicum problems and haven't found this one mentioned. It's in every one produced so far from three different plants - all in separate beds/pots. That elongated brown/black section starts out white. It starts when the capsicum is almost full size and in some cases after it has started to turn red. Any ideas?

    Looks like sunscald to me. Not a disease.

    Yep. Total sunscald. Rest of the pepper should be fine if not left on the plant TOO long. Quite common with large fruited varieties such as bells and usually caused by excessively bright days(summer). SHade cloth or old bed sheets work wonders during the midday hours.
