Abstract
A microlens array is disclosed which comprises a supporting substrate, a light condensing layer having a plurality of microlenses, and a shading layer having a plurality of openings, each of the microlenses being formed so as to condense light through the corresponding opening of the shading layer, wherein the light condensing layer is formed by exposing a photosensitive resin layer to light with the use of the shading layer as a mask, the photosensitive resin layer being formed on the supporting substrate together with the shading layer.
Claims4
A microlens array comprising a supporting substrate, a light condensing layer having a plurality of microlenses which is disposed on said supporting substrate., and a shading layer having a plurality of openings which is disposed on said light condensing layer, each of said microlenses being arranged so as to condense light through a corresponding opening of said shading layer, said light condensing layer comprising a photosensitive resin layer, said microlenses being defined at each corresponding opening portion of said shading layer by said shading layer serving as a mask;
- and wherein the microlenses are provided with an interval therebetween.
A microlens array comprising a supporting substrate, a light condensing layer having a plurality of microlenses which is disposed on one surface of said supporting substrate, and a shading layer having a plurality of openings which is disposed on the other surface of said supporting substrate, each of said microlenses being arranged in contact with each other so as to condense light through a corresponding opening of said shading layer.., said light condensing layer comprising a photosensitive resin layer, said microlenses being defined at each corresponding opening portion of said shading layer by said shading layer serving as a mask;
- and wherein the microlenses are provided with an interval therebetween.
