Abstract

A detection device includes a substrate having a detection region, a plurality of photodiodes provided in the detection region, a first light-transmitting resin layer that is provided so as to cover the photodiodes and comprises a flat portion and a periphery that is formed to be gradually thinner toward an end on a peripheral side of the first light-transmitting resin layer, a light-blocking layer that is provided on the first light-transmitting resin layer and provided with an opening in a region overlapping each of the photodiodes, and a plurality of lenses provided so as to overlap the respective photodiodes. In a region of the periphery of the first light-transmitting resin layer extending along a predetermined side, an asperity pattern is repeatedly formed in a direction intersecting the side and repeatedly formed in a direction along the side.

Claims (37)

1 . A detection device comprising:

a substrate having a detection region;

a plurality of photodiodes provided in the detection region;

a first light-transmitting resin layer that is provided so as to cover the photodiodes and comprises a flat portion and a periphery that is formed to be gradually thinner toward an end on a peripheral side of the first light-transmitting resin layer;

a light-blocking layer that is provided on the first light-transmitting resin layer and provided with an opening in a region overlapping each of the photodiodes; and

a plurality of lenses provided so as to overlap the respective photodiodes, wherein

in a region of the periphery of the first light-transmitting resin layer extending along a predetermined side, an asperity pattern is repeatedly formed in a direction intersecting the side and repeatedly formed in a direction along the side.

2 . The detection device according to claim 1 , wherein

the periphery of the first light-transmitting resin layer comprises a plurality of partial peripheral regions that extend along a side of the first light-transmitting resin layer, and are arranged to be lined up in a direction intersecting the side,

the asperity pattern is formed in each of the partial peripheral regions, and

different asperity patterns are formed in at least two adjacent regions of the partial peripheral regions.

3 . The detection device according to claim 1 , wherein

the periphery of the first light-transmitting resin layer comprises a plurality of partial peripheral regions that extend along a side of the first light-transmitting resin layer, and are arranged to be lined up in a direction intersecting the side,

the side of the first light-transmitting resin layer at least comprises a first side extending along a first direction and a second side extending along a second direction intersecting the first direction, and

in at least one of the partial peripheral regions, the asperity patterns different between a region extending along the first side and a region extending along the second side are formed.

4 . The detection device according to claim 3 , wherein

in two adjacent regions of the partial peripheral regions:

in one of the partial peripheral regions, the asperity patterns different between the region extending along the first side and the region extending along the second side are formed, and

in another of the partial peripheral regions, the same asperity pattern is formed in the region extending along the first side and the region extending along the second side.

5 . The detection device according to claim 2 , wherein

the asperity pattern has a rhombic shape and is formed in the partial peripheral region located on a most peripheral side of the first light-transmitting resin layer, and

the asperity pattern has a linear shape and is formed in the partial peripheral regions between the flat portion and the partial peripheral region located on the most peripheral side of the first light-transmitting resin layer.

6 . The detection device according to claim 5 , wherein the rhombic asperity pattern has a different arrangement pitch from an arrangement pitch of the partial peripheral region located on the most peripheral side and is formed in a partial peripheral region between the flat portion and the partial peripheral region located on the most peripheral side of the first light-transmitting resin layer.

7 . The detection device according to claim 2 , wherein

each of the partial peripheral regions comprises a first surface and a second surface that is connected to the first surface and has a larger inclination angle than an inclination angle of the first surface, and

the first surfaces and the second surfaces of the partial peripheral regions are alternately arranged.

8 . The detection device according to claim 1 , comprising a second light-transmitting resin layer provided so as to cover the light-blocking layer, wherein

the second light-transmitting resin layer is provided so as to cover an end on a peripheral side of the light-blocking layer and an end on the peripheral side of the first light-transmitting resin layer.

9 . The detection device according to claim 8 , comprising an infrared (IR) cut filter layer that is provided between the photodiodes and the first light-transmitting resin layer and is configured to block infrared rays, wherein

the first light-transmitting resin layer, the light-blocking layer, the second light-transmitting resin layer, and the lenses are stacked above the IR cut filter layer.

10 . The detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the flat portion of the first light-transmitting resin layer has a thickness of 10 μm or larger.

11 . A multilayer structure comprising:

a substrate;

at least one light-transmitting resin layer that is stacked above the substrate and comprises a flat portion and a periphery that is formed to be gradually thinner toward an end on a peripheral side of the light-transmitting resin layer; and

an optical functional layer stacked on the light-transmitting resin layer, wherein

in a region of the periphery of the light-transmitting resin layer extending along a predetermined side, an asperity pattern is repeatedly formed in a direction intersecting the side and repeatedly formed in a direction along the side.

12 . The multilayer structure according to claim 11 , wherein the flat portion of the light-transmitting resin layer has a thickness of 10 μm or larger.
