IMAGE SENSOR AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE IMAGE SENSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18311401 titled 'IMAGE SENSOR AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE IMAGE SENSOR
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an image sensor with improved performance. Here are the bullet points explaining the patent/innovation:
- The image sensor includes a substrate.
- A prism structure is present on the substrate.
- The prism structure contains at least one nanopattern.
- An anti-reflection structure is present on the prism structure.
- The anti-reflection structure includes at least one opening array.
- The opening array consists of a plurality of spaced-apart openings.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Improved image quality in digital cameras and smartphones.
- Enhanced performance in surveillance systems and security cameras.
- Higher resolution and sensitivity in medical imaging devices.
- Better image recognition and analysis in autonomous vehicles.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Minimizes reflection and glare on the image sensor surface.
- Reduces the loss of light during image capture.
- Enhances the overall image sharpness and clarity.
- Improves the sensor's ability to capture details in low-light conditions.
Benefits of this technology:
- Increased image sensor sensitivity and efficiency.
- Enhanced image quality and resolution.
- Reduction in unwanted reflections and artifacts.
- Improved performance in challenging lighting conditions.
- Potential for smaller and more compact image sensor designs.
