COLOR FILTER, IMAGE SENSOR, AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS HAVING THE IMAGE SENSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18220445 titled 'COLOR FILTER, IMAGE SENSOR, AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS HAVING THE IMAGE SENSOR

Simplified Explanation

The disclosed patent application describes a color filter for an image sensor, along with an electronic apparatus incorporating the image sensor. The color filter consists of a first dielectric layer, a second dielectric layer on top of the first dielectric layer, and multiple metal elements buried within both layers in lateral contact with each layer.

  • The color filter is designed to be used in an image sensor and electronic apparatus.
  • It includes a first dielectric layer, a second dielectric layer, and metal elements.
  • The metal elements are buried within both dielectric layers and are in lateral contact with each layer.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Image sensors in digital cameras, smartphones, and other electronic devices.
  • Electronic apparatus that require color filtering for image capture and processing.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Enhances the color filtering capabilities of image sensors.
  • Improves the accuracy and quality of color reproduction in captured images.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Higher resolution and more accurate color reproduction in images.
  • Improved image quality in electronic devices.
  • Enhanced performance of image sensors in low-light conditions.


Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed is a color filter according to an example embodiment, an image sensor, and an electronic apparatus having the image sensor. The color filter includes a first dielectric layer, a second dielectric layer on the first dielectric layer, and a plurality of metal elements buried in both of the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer in lateral contact with each of the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer.
