  • Publication number: 20180217361
    Abstract: Substrates with lenses having lenses disposed therein are aligned with high accuracy. A stacked lens structure has a configuration in which substrates with lenses having a lens disposed on an inner side of a through-hole formed in the substrate are direct-bonded and stacked. In particular, one or more air grooves formed in surfaces of the substrates reduces an influence of air inside a void portion between adjacent lenses of a layered lens structure.

  • Publication number: 20180196170
    Abstract: To suppress occurrence of contamination or damage to a lens. In the present technology, for example, a manufacturing apparatus allows a spacer which is thicker than a height of a lens resin portion protruded from a substrate to be adhered to the substrate. In addition, for example, in the present technology, the manufacturing apparatus molds the lens resin portion inside a through-hole formed in the substrate by using a mold frame configured with two layers of molds and, after molding the lens resin portion, in the state that one mold is adhered to the substrate, the manufacturing apparatus demolds the substrate from the other mold. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a lens-attached substrate, a stacked lens structure, a camera module, a manufacturing apparatus, a manufacturing method, an electronic apparatus, a computer, a program, a storage medium, a system, or the like.
