Image Capture Devices Having Phase Detection Auto-Focus Pixels

Abstract

An image capture device is described. The image capture device includes an array of pixels. Each pixel includes a 2×2 array of photodetectors. The image capture device also includes an array of 1×2 on chip lenses (OCLs) disposed over the array of pixels. For each pixel in the array of pixels, a respective pair of adjacent 1×2 OCLs is disposed over a pixel, with each respective pair of adjacent 1×2 OCLs including a respective first 1×2 OCL disposed over a first photodetector and a respective second photodetector in the 2×2 array of photodetectors for the pixel, and a second 1×2 OCL disposed over a third photodetector and a fourth photodetector in the 2×2 array of photodetectors for the pixel.
