  • Publication number: 20240120358
    Abstract: A pixel part 20 includes a pixel array 210 in which a plurality of photoelectric conversion parts 2111 to 2114 are arranged, and a lens part array 220 including a plurality of lens parts LNS220 each of which is arranged corresponding to one side of the corresponding photoelectric conversion part 2111 (to 2114) of the pixel array 210, each lens part condensing incident light onto the correspondingly arranged photoelectric conversion part 2111 (to 2114) to cause the light to enter the photoelectric conversion part from the one side of the photoelectric conversion part. The lens part array 220, in which the lens parts LNS 220 are integrally formed with an optical film FLM 220, is bonded to the light incident side of the pixel array 210 to stack in Z direction.

  • Patent number: 11784203
    Abstract: Provided are a solid-state imaging device, a method for manufacturing a solid-state imaging device and an electronic apparatus that produce little crosstalk between adjacent sub-pixels, can reduce the influence of the luminance shading, and can even prevent degradation in the sensitivity at the optical center. A multi-pixel includes a back-side separating part separating a plurality of adjacent sub-pixels from each other, and a lens part including a single microlens allowing light to enter photoelectric converting regions of sub-pixels. Here, the optical center of the microlens is positioned on the location where the back side separating part is formed, and the back side separating part is formed such that at least the optical center region thereof exhibits lower reflection than the other region of the back side separating part.

  • Patent number: 9488768
    Abstract: An optical film according to one embodiment includes at least one stack having a plurality of basic pairs, each pair being composed of a first layer and a second layer having different refractive indices and being laminated. The number of the stacks, a difference in the refractive index between the first and second layers, and the number of the basic pairs are set such that a reflectance spectrum of the at least one stack as a whole matches a target reflectance spectrum. The target reflectance spectrum includes first and second reflectance spectrum components corresponding to first and second polarized light beams in a predetermined wavelength range, wherein each of them is a spectrum having at least one reflective peak region including a spectrum region having a reflectance of 50% or more and a wavelength width of 20 to 60 nm.

  • Patent number: 8773620
    Abstract: An optical film in accordance with one embodiment comprises a stack having a plurality of basic pairs each constructed by stacking first and second layers. The number of stacks, the refractive index difference |?ni| in a predetermined direction between the first and second layers, the thicknesses of the first and second layers, and the number of basic pairs are set such that a reflection spectrum formed by the optical film conforms to a target reflection spectrum. The target reflection spectrum is a spectrum having a reflection peak region including a spectrum region having a reflectance of at least 50% within a predetermined wavelength width, in a reflection spectrum of a first polarized light in a wavelength range of 400 to 700 nm, while exhibiting a reflectance of 20% or less in a reflection spectrum of a second polarized light within the wavelength range.

  • Publication number: 20080297696
    Abstract: A light guiding plate unit which can emit uniform light of a predetermined polarization, a surface light source apparatus and a liquid crystal display apparatus are provided. A light guiding plate unit is provided with a light guiding plate which can guide light and has a first surface from which light is emitted and a diffraction grating which is provided on the first surface of the light guiding plate, and the diffraction grating is formed of a number of metal wires in straight lines which are aligned in a direction approximately perpendicular to the long axis of the metal wires, and the length w of the metal wires in the direction in which the number of metal wires are aligned is approximately 55% or more and approximately 85% or less of the spatial period of the diffraction grating. Thus, the ratio of the length w of the metal wires to the spatial period is set to 0.65 or higher and 0.
