Abstract
A camera system is provided to increase a baseline. The camera system includes a single lens, and an image sensor includes at least one pixel array, each of the at least one pixel array including a plurality of pixels in a two-dimensional arrangement and a single microlens disposed on the plurality of pixels to be shared. Light shielding layers formed with Offset Pixel Apertures (OPAs) are disposed on at least two pixels of the plurality of pixels, and the OPAs are formed on the light shielding layers to maximize a spaced distance between the OPAs.

A camera system comprising:
- a single lens;
- and
- an image sensor including at least one pixel array, the at least one pixel array including a plurality of pixels in a two-dimensional arrangement and a single microlens disposed on the plurality of pixels to be shared,
- wherein light shielding layers formed with Offset Pixel Apertures (OPAs) are disposed on at least two pixels of the plurality of pixels, respectively, and
- wherein the OPAs are formed on the light shielding layers to maximize a spaced distance between the OPAs.
