Microfeature workpieces having microlenses and methods of forming
microlenses on microfeature workpieces are disclosed herein. In one
embodiment, a method for forming microlenses includes forming a plurality
of shaping members on a microfeature workpiece between adjacent pixels,
reflowing the shaping members to form a shaping structure between
adjacent pixels, depositing lens material onto the workpiece, removing
selected portions of the lens material adjacent to the shaping structure
such that discrete masses of lens material are located over corresponding
pixels, and heating the workpiece to reflow the discrete masses of lens
material and form a plurality of microlenses.
