Abstract:
1. A photoelectric conversion apparatus comprising: a photoelectric conversion region having a plurality of photoelectric conversion portions; and a lens array provided above the photoelectric conversion region, wherein the lens array includes a plurality of convex meniscus lenses, wherein each of the convex meniscus lenses is provided between a first member and a second member, the first member having a lower refractive index than one of the convex meniscus lenses and having a convex surface conforming to a concave surface of the one of the convex meniscus lenses, the second member having a lower refractive index than the one of the convex meniscus lenses and having a concave surface conforming to a convex surface of the one of the convex meniscus lenses, wherein the first member is provided between the one of the convex meniscus lenses and one of the photoelectric conversion portions, and wherein a projected area of the convex surface of the one of the convex meniscus lenses is larger than a projected area of the concave surface of the one of the convex meniscus lenses.
