MICROLENS FORMING METHOD, SOLID IMAGING ELEMENT AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREFOR, DISPLAY DEVICE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREFOR, AND ELECTRONIC INFORMATION APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain solid imaging element for improving efficiency in condensing light from a subject and also improving the color resolution of a subject image.;SOLUTION: The microlens forming method includes a first lens step in which microlenses 11a are selectively formed on a pixel array so that a checker grid pattern is formed by a plurality of first pixel areas Pr1 where the microlenses are formed and a plurality of second pixel areas Pr2 where no microlens is formed; and a second lens step in which microlenses 112a are formed in the second pixel area Pr2 of the pixel array, where no microlens 11a is formed. In the second lens step, a lens formation member 112 obtained by exposure-developing a lens material layer is formed in a flat shape in which side edges of the lens formation member are curved inward greater toward its central portion from the side edges of the second pixel areas Pr2 so that the flat pattern of the microlens 112a obtained by the reflow is substantially superposed on the flat pattern of the second pixel area.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
