Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a solid-state imaging device that suppresses flare or ghost, a method of manufacturing the same and an electronic device using the same. SOLUTION: In the solid-state imaging device 1, incident light is collected onto a light receiving portion 2 formed on a substrate 9 by using a rectangular on-chip microlens 19. Also, a flat lens layer 20 is formed on an upper portion of the on-chip microlens 19. Generation of reflected diffraction light caused by a periodic structure is suppressed since the periodic structure such as the on-chip microlens 19 is not formed on an interface between a surface of the incident light of the solid imaging device 1 and air by allowing the flat lens layer 20 to be formed. This suppresses the ghost or flare. Also, sufficient light collecting characteristics is achieved and the sensitivity is improved by allowing the on-chip microlens 19 to be a rectangular shape (or graded refractive index) even if the flat lens layer 20 is used.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To acquire visible color images with higher sensitivity using a simple constitution and operations, in an imaging apparatus. SOLUTION: Wavelength separation is performed in the visible light region through filters C1, C2, C3 for acquiring color image to detect components by first detection parts for each wavelength and for detecting the components by a second detection part as a pixel, corresponding to higher sensitivity through a filter C4 so as to turn it at sensitivity higher than passing through the filters C1, C2, C3. A signal indicating a measured amount is acquired, based on signals SC1, SC2, SC3 of each wavelength detected by the first detection part through the filters C1, C2, C3 and sensitivity correction operation is executed on the signals SC1, SC2, SC3 of each wavelength detected by the first detection part, by using the signal indicating the measurand and a signal of the components of a first wavelength region detected by the second detection part.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make an imaging device acquire a color image and an infrared light image, independently and simultaneously, while improving the separation performance. SOLUTION: A wavelength-separating optical system 104 uses a mirror 105, having an optical filter 105b configured by a multilayer thin film, formed by making a dielectric substance deposited on the surface of an optical transparent substrate 105a. An infrared light imaging unit 110, for detecting the infrared light IR reflected by the wavelength separating optical system 104, uses an image sensor 112_IR+VL having construction, for separating and acquiring a visible light image and the infrared light image by using difference in absorbance factors optimized for detection of the infrared light IR and caused by wavelength in the depthwise direction of a semiconductor. A visual light imaging unit 120, for detecting a visual light VL transmitting through the wavelength separating optical system 104, uses an image sensor 122_VL+IR having construction for separating, and acquiring the visible light image and the infrared light image by using the difference in the absorbance factors, optimized for detection of the visual light VL and cause by wavelength in the depthwise direction of the semiconductor.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a light scattering type display element wherein a contrast ratio is enhanced by heightening only the reflectance in white display without increasing the reflectance in black display. SOLUTION: A micro lens 22 is disposed on the surface opposite to a liquid crystal layer 30 of a display side substrate 20 and a light absorption layer 12 is disposed according to a light condensed position of the micro lens 22. Thereby, black luminance is lowered in a black display state. A reflecting/scattering layer 13 reflecting or scattering incident light is disposed at a part where the light absorption layer 12 is not disposed in the same plane where the light absorption layer 12 is disposed. Light is surely reflected and scattered in a white display state and goes toward the display side substrate 10 by the reflecting/scattering layer 13 and as a result white luminance is increased. Thus, only the reflectance in white display is heightened without increasing the reflectance in black display and the contrast ratio is enhanced. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for forming a porous electrode without applying high-temperature heating treatment, an electrode manufactured by the method, and a photoelectric conversion element using the electrode. SOLUTION: The electrode formation method includes a step where a particulate dispersed solution wherein a semiconductor particulate is dispersed in a solvent is applied to a substrate, and a step where, when the solvent in the applied particulate dispersed solution is evaporated to arrange the semiconductor particulate in order through self-organization so that a particulate arranged body is formed, the direction of the growth of the particulate arranged body is controlled. Thus, an electrode can be formed in a manner to have a substrate including the porous and less defective particulate arranged body wherein the particulates are in contact with one another. In addition, the formed electrode smoothly move electrons. An appropriate photoelectric conversion element can be obtained by adopting such the electrode. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
