There is provided a stacked lens structure including a first lens substrate having a first through-hole and a second lens substrate having a second-through hole. The first lens substrate may be directly bonded to the second lens substrate. The stacked lens structure may include lens resin portions, where each lens resin portion includes a lens portion configured to refract light, and a support portion configured to support the lens portion at a corresponding lens substrate, the support portion including a first portion at a side of the lens substrate, a second portion, and a third portion, where the first portion is between the lens substrate and the second portion in a cross-section view, and the third portion is between the second portion and the lens portion in the cross-section view.

Substrates with lenses having lenses disposed therein are aligned with high accuracy. A stacked lens structure has a configuration in which substrates with lenses having a lens disposed on an inner side of a through-hole formed in the substrate are direct-bonded and stacked based on an alignment mark. The alignment mark is formed simultaneously with the through-hole. The present technique can be applied to a camera module or the like in which a stacked lens structure in which at least three substrates with lenses including first to third substrates with lenses which are substrates with lenses in which a through-hole is formed in the substrate and a lens is formed on an inner side of the through-hole is integrated with a light receiving element, for example.

The present technology relates to, for example, a lens attached substrate including a substrate which has a through-hole formed therein and a light shielding film formed on a side wall of the through-hole and a lens resin portion which is formed inside the through-hole of the substrate. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a lens attached substrate, a layered lens structure, a camera module, a manufacturing apparatus, a manufacturing method, an electronic device, a computer, a program, a storage medium, a system, and the like.

A micro-optical component for generating an image, including a substrate and a lens. The substrate, includes a first surface and a second surface, wherein the first surface includes an aperture, and the second surface is arranged to be connected to a pixel array. The lens is placed on the first surface so as to cover the aperture. The focal point of the lens belongs to the second surface. The lens includes an obscuration element generating at the lens an obscured area and an unobscured area. The obscuration element is dimensioned to reduce the light transmittance towards the pixels for a fraction of the viewing angles only and at the same time. The obscured area is dimensioned so that the optical resolution of the lines is not smaller than the image resolution given by the size of the pixels.

A device comprises at least one optics member (O) comprising at least one transparent portion (t) and at least one blocking portion (b). The at least one transparent portion (t) is made of one or more materials substantially transparent for light of at least a specific spectral range, referred to as transparent materials, and the at least one blocking portion (b) is made of one or more materials substantially non-transparent for light of the specific spectral range, referred to as non-transparent materials. The transparent portion (t) comprises at least one passive optical component (L). The at least one passive optical component (L) comprises a transparent element (6) having two opposing approximately flat surfaces substantially perpendicular to a vertical direction in a distance approximately equal to a thickness of the at least one blocking portion (b) measured along the vertical direction, and, attached to the transparent element (6), at least one optical structure (5).

A deformation of a stacked lens is suppressed.

A stacked lens structure has a configuration in which substrates with lenses having a lens disposed on an inner side of a through-hole formed in the substrate are bonded and stacked by direct bonding. The present technique can be applied to a camera module or the like in which a stacked lens structure in which at least three substrates with lenses including first to third substrates with lenses which are substrates with lenses in which a through-hole is formed in the substrate and a lens is formed on an inner side of the through-hole is integrated with a light receiving element, for example.

Techniques for controlling the flow of replication material (e.g., epoxy) during the formation of replicated optical elements include providing a transparent substrate (220) onto which the optical elements are to be replicated. The substrate (220) includes a structured UV curable shield (202) adhering to its surface. The UV curable shield (202), in turn, has openings (203) that expose portions of the surface of the transparent substrate (220) for replication of the optical elements. During the replication process, excess replication material (124A) may flow onto the UV curable shield (202), which subsequently can be cured so as to facilitate the release and removal of the shield (202) along with the excess replication material (124A).

Provided is a lens module including a substrate in which a wafer level lens is formed. When the wafer level lens is divided into individual units, an intersection hole is formed at an intersection of a dicing line along which dicing is performed, and the substrate is then generated when diced along the dicing line.
