Even when the planar shape of the microlens is an ellipse, the curvatures can be optimized in both the row and column directions by making the heights in these directions different from each other. It is possible to provide a microlens array having a small non-focusing region and a solid-state image pickup device having a high sensitivity and little smear.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 1998Date of Patent: December 19, 2000Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Yuichi Okazaki, Yoshinori Tomiya
