==IMAGE SENSOR INCLUDING COLOR SEPARATING LENS ARRAY AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS INCLUDING THE IMAGE SENSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18076943 titled 'IMAGE SENSOR INCLUDING COLOR SEPARATING LENS ARRAY AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS INCLUDING THE IMAGE SENSOR

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes an image sensor that includes a sensor substrate with first and second pixels, a spacer layer, and a color separating lens array. The lens array condenses light of different wavelengths on the respective pixels.

* The image sensor has a sensor substrate with first and second pixels.
* A spacer layer is present on the sensor substrate.
* A color separating lens array is placed on the spacer layer.
* The lens array condenses light of a first wavelength on the first pixels and light of a second wavelength on the second pixels.
* The lens array includes a first color separating lens array layer with nanoposts.
* A first dielectric material layer is arranged among the nanoposts.
* First etch prevention patterns are placed under the nanoposts.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Digital cameras
* Smartphones
* Surveillance cameras
* Medical imaging devices

Problems solved by this technology:

* Efficiently separating and condensing light of different wavelengths onto specific pixels.
* Enhancing the performance and accuracy of image sensors.

Benefits of this technology:

* Improved image quality and resolution.
* Enhanced color accuracy.
* Compact design for integration into various devices.
* Cost-effective manufacturing process.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An image sensor includes: a sensor substrate including a plurality of first pixels and a plurality of second pixels; a spacer layer on the sensor substrate; and a color separating lens array on the spacer layer and changing condensing light of a first wavelength on each of the first pixels and condensing light of a second wavelength on each of the second pixels. The color separating lens array includes a first color separating lens array layer including a plurality of first nanoposts, a first dielectric material layer arranged among the plurality of first nanoposts, and a plurality of first etch prevention patterns arranged respectively under the plurality of first nanoposts.
