Abstract
Provided is an image sensor including a pixel array including a plurality of pixels, and a micro lens array including a first micro lens of a first size provided in a first area of the pixel array and a second micro lens of a second size provided in a second area of the pixel array, the second size being different from the first size.
Claims20
An image sensor comprising:
- a pixel array comprising a plurality of pixels;
- and
- a micro lens array comprising a first micro lens of a first size provided in a first area of the pixel array and a second micro lens of a second size provided in a second area of the pixel array, the second size being different from the first size.
An image sensor comprising:
- a micro lens array comprising a first micro lens having a first diameter and a second micro lens having a second diameter that is different from the first diameter;
- and
- a sub-pixel array comprising a first sub-pixel group configured to convert a first light signal transmitted through the first micro lens into a first electrical signal and a second sub-pixel group configured to convert a second light signal transmitted through the second micro lens into a second electrical signal.
An electronic device comprising:
- a module lens configured to receive a first light incident at a first angle that is refracted from an external object and a second light incident at a second angle that is refracted from the object;
- an image sensor configured to generate first image data corresponding to the object based on the first light transmitted through the module lens and to generate second image data corresponding to the object based on the second light transmitted through the module lens;
- and
- an image signal processor configured to generate a control signal to adjust a location of the module lens based on the first image data and the second image data,
- wherein the image sensor comprises micro lenses of different sizes configured to receive the first light and the second light.
