Publication number: 20090011243Abstract: A method for manufacturing a dust-proofing and light-transmitting member comprising the steps of forming a deposited coating and forming a dust-proofing coating is provided. The dust-proofing and light-transmitting member is arranged on a side of a light-receiving surface of an imaging device. The deposited coating is formed on a light-incident surface of a light-transmitting substrate. The deposited coating comprises aluminum, alumina, or a mixture of aluminum and alumina. The dust-proofing coating having fine roughness is formed on a surface by carrying out a hot water process for the deposited coating. Water warmed to between 40 and 100 degrees Celsius or a mixture of water and organic solvent is used in the hot water process.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 3, 2008Publication date: January 8, 2009Applicant: HOYA CORPORATIONInventors: Kazuhiro YAMADA, Naohito SASAKI, Hiroyuki NAKAYAMA
