NOVELTY - A compound-eye imaging device comprises optical filter for transmitting light in a specific wavelength range among light components emitted from optical lenses (2). The optical filter is a part of, and integral with, the photodetector array (4). It is formed of an organic laminate film bonded to a surface of the semiconductor substrate of the photodetector array. The organic laminate film also serves as a surface protection member to protect the surface of the semiconductor substrate (4a).    USE - As a thin camera module in a cellular phone or personal computer.    ADVANTAGE - The compound-eye imaging device can be reduced in its entire thickness without lengthening the flange back of each optical lens, and can be easily manufactured.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A compound-eye imaging device comprises:    (1) an optical lens array (3) with integrated optical lenses having optical axes parallel to each other;    (2) a stop member (6) for shielding unnecessary ambient light from entering the optical lenses;    (3) a photodetector array formed of a semiconductor substrate and placed at a distance from the optical lens array for imaging multiple images formed by the optical lenses;    (4) a light shielding block (5) placed between the optical lens array and the photodetector array, and having a partition wall (5b) for partitioning a space between the optical lens array and the photodetector array into a matrix of spaces as seen on a plane perpendicular to the optical axes to prevent lights emitted from the optical lens from interfering each other; and    (5) an optical filter for transmitting light in a specific wavelength range among light components emitted from the optical lenses.    The optical filter is a part of, and integral with, the photodetector array. It is formed of a deposited film on a glass plate (4b) as a surface protection member for protecting a surface of the semiconductor substrate of the photodetector array, in which the deposited film is formed by alternately depositing silicon oxide and oxide on a front surface or a rear surface of the glass plate as the surface protection member. The deposited film (7) is a multi-layer film having 40-50 layers formed by alternately depositing silicon oxide and titanium oxide. The optical filter is formed of an organic laminate film bonded to a surface of the semiconductor substrate of the photodetector array. The organic laminate film also serves as a surface protection member to protect the surface of the semiconductor substrate.
