Plenoptic Cellular Imaging System

An electronic display assembly comprising:

• a microlens layer comprising a plurality of cells;
• and
• a pixel array layer adjacent to the microlens layer, the pixel array layer comprising a plurality of pixels;
• wherein each cell of the plurality of cells comprises:
• a transparent lenslet;
• and
• one or both of:
• a plurality of opaque walls configured to prevent light from bleeding into adjacent cells;
• and
• a filter layer on one end of each cell of the plurality of cells, the filter layer configured to limit light passing through the filter layer to a specific incident angle.

A method of manufacturing an electronic display, the method comprising:

• obtaining a microlens array (MLA), the MLA comprising a plurality of lenslets;
• cutting a plurality of grooves around each of the plurality of lenslets to a predetermined depth;
• and
• filling the plurality of grooves with a material configured to prevent light from bleeding through the plurality of grooves.
