Abstract
A micro-optics system using the diffraction method includes a plurality of micro-optical elements having different inclination patterns. The different inclination patterns are implemented such that a plurality of light rays incident from a light source are increasingly refracted by 1 degree in an outward direction from a center of the plurality of micro-optical elements, and the different inclination patterns include a series of steps.
