Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments of the present invention provide concepts for camera modules including multiple apertures but only one image sensor for sensing light received via the multiple apertures. In particular, embodiments may provide a camera module including electrically controllable reflective components able to switch between reflective and transmissive states such that light from the apertures may be directed towards the single image sensor or not.
