Disclosed herein is a solid-state image pickup device including a solid-state image pickup element operable to produce an electric charge according to the amount of light received, a lens disposed on the upper side of a pixel of the solid-state image pickup element, a protective film which covers the upper side of the lens and a surface of which is flattened, and a surface film which is formed at the surface of the protective film and which is higher in hydrophilicity than the inside of the protective film.

Solid-state image pickup device, method of manufacturing solid-state image pickup device, and electronic apparatus

A solid-state image capture device including: at least one photoelectric converter at an image capture surface of a substrate; at least one on-chip lens at the image capture surface of the substrate and above a light-receiving surface of the photoelectric converter; and an antireflection layer on an upper surface of the on-chip lens. The antireflection layer contains a binder resin having a lower refractive index than that of the on-chip lens and low-refractive-index particles having a lower refractive index than that of the binder resin.

Solid-state image capture device, manufacturing method therefor, and electronic apparatus

A solid-state image capture device includes: at least one photoelectric converter provided at an image capture surface of a substrate to receive incident light at a light-receiving surface of the photoelectric converter and photoelectrically convert the incident light to thereby generate signal charge; at least one on-chip lens provided at the image capture surface of the substrate and above the light-receiving surface of the photoelectric converter to focus the incident light onto the light-receiving surface; and an antireflection layer provided on an upper surface of the on-chip lens at the image capture surface of the substrate. The antireflection layer contains a binder resin having a lower refractive index than the on-chip lens and low-refractive-index particles having a lower refractive index than the binder resin.

A cordless telephone having a handset unit, which is powered by a battery, and a base unit for communicating with a desired party. A telephone conversation with the desired party may be interrupted by activating a hold mode. The hold mode is released by executing predetermined commands, for example, a talk request command. The hold mode is also released after a predetermined period has passed, whereupon the handset unit is placed in a relatively low power standby mode thus reducing the power consumption of the battery of the handset unit.

Cordless telephone apparatus having a low power stand-by mode and a hold

A cordless telephone having a base unit connected to a telephone line network, a handset unit operable for communicating with the base unit by way of radio waves, a device for establishing a standby mode in which the handset unit intermittently monitors at least one predetermined channel in a standby mode and for alternatively establishing a low power sleep mode, a device at the base unit for detecting the arrival of an incoming call from the telephone line network and for informing the remote handset unit of the arrival through the predetermined channel, a device for exchanging information between the base unit and the handset unit identifying respective available channels thereof and a device for storing information identifying at least one of the available channels which is the same for both the base unit and the remote handset unit, and which constitutes the at least one predetermined channel which is intermittently monitored by the handset unit in the standby mode.
