  • Patent number: 4561015
    Abstract: An all-solid-state television camera is described consisting of an optical unit, an electronic unit, and a housing for them. The electronic unit is in the form of a substrate carrying a linear or two-dimensional array of a plurality of semiconductor image sensors in a matrix layout on a semiconductor wafer, which substrate comprises contact parts connected to the contact pads on the semiconductor wafer. The optical unit comprises, in the least complicated embodiment, a light funnel array placed onto the semiconductor wafer which array carries at least one lens array whose aspherical lenses serve as imaging optics and contribute via a respective associated light funnel to the exposure of the individual semiconductor image sensors with mutual light screening. A second light funnel array is provided on the object side of the lens array and has a sunshade function for the imaging optics.
